METER PROGRAM
Meter programming consists in writing a parameters set that will govern meter
operation in its memory. The meter-operating program can be logically divided in the
following sections:
1. Time program
It is the time program, which establishes the meter operation referring to TOU metered
energy. The meter has 4 tariff energy registers (4 tariffs). The current tariff register is
established as function of the following elements:
1.1 Type of day: There can be defined 8 such types of day. There can be defined up to 12
tariff-switching rules for each type of day (with reference to the 4 possible tariffs), the
switching being made with a resolution of 30 minutes (at hh:00 or hh: 30).
1.2. Type of week: There can be defined up to 8 types of weeks, so that each week day
(SMTWTFS) is allotted a certain type of day.
1.3 Season: There can be defined up to 12 calendar seasons characterized by the
beginning calendar date (day, month). Each season is allotted a certain type of week.

5
2. Special dates
As compared to the usual time program, there can be defined up to 24 days as exceptions
from the tariff program. Each day is characterized by the date and month. In case of non-
repetitive annual dates, the year shall also be specified. Each day is associated a type of
day out of the 8 possible ones and the number of days for which the rule is valid.
3. Summer-winter hour changing rule
The meter uses the European algorithm for the hour change (the last Sunday in March,
and October, respectively). The changing direction and the changing hour shall be
specified. The change of the summer hour in winter can be invalidated.
4. Other parameters
The following quantities are grouped:
4.1The communication speed according to IEC1107, to be selected out of 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600 string of values. Anyway the meter can be forced to communicate at a
speed different from the programmed one.
4.2 Self-reading date. One of the following dates can be chosen: 128
4.3 Number of the displayed decimal figures (2 or 3)
4.4 Display hold time for every displayed item (160) seconds.
4.5 Meter account: 16 decimal figures
4.6 Program identifier: 8 decimal figures
5.Display sequence
The meter display sequence can be displayed out of a maximum set of available
quantities.
The program has certain syntax as concerns the programming lines, as shown in the table
below:

The program files properly edited or read from the meter bear pmsp extension. Their
implicit location is <Director instalare Opticom 2K>\EnerluxM Files\ Program\. The
programs editing and writing operations are carried out by means of a properties sheet.
Any time this sheet is activated to create a new file, its contents will be that of a self-
created program file named template.pexm. Since this file is a self-created one during
the program running, do not save your own programs in this file.

Operating program creating, editing and writing

Operating program creating, editing writing is carried out by means of PROGRAM
property sheet.
The property sheet contains the following property pages:

referring to a generic meter, which is not contained in the meters list. In case there is no
current list, only General option is present. Description combo box contains the
descriptions of all the meters in the meters list established in Opticom2K program. The
selection of the target meter is made from this combo box. If All meters check box is
selected, the programming operation will be successively applied to all the meters on the
list. If the current list is null, the combo box is invalidated. This communication option
shall be used when the meters are connected to a communication bus. Serial no and
Password editing fields reflect the contents of the current list as compared to the meter
serial no (used as communication address) and password. As far as General option is
concerned, these fields contain General series and NULL password, or that established in
the reading dialogs behaviour. The alteration of these fields is operational only during the
existence of PROGRAM properties sheet, it not being reflected by the contents of the
list used by the program.
Communication section enables the start and control of the communication operation.
The user may choose writing for TOU Program, Exclusion dates, Daylight saving
time, Display sequence, Parameters, either separately or together. The option is
expressed by selecting the requested check box. It is also permitted to alter only one of
the following parameters: the change of the summer-winter hour rule, the baud speed, or
the number of decimals displayed for monetary units. This can be done by selecting the
requested parameter from the program list and by activating Selection. Selection option
is not active for the display sequence. The use can chose to erase battery functioning
time counter together with the meter parameterisation operation. This can be
accomplished by checking the corresponding checkbox. The option is carried out only for
meters with embedded software version starting with 2.2. The communication operation
begins by pressing Start button. The communication process can be followed in WR
(number of transmitted characters) and RD (number of the read characters) fields. The
process can be stopped by pressing the Stop button. If an error appears during the
communication process, the process ends, and the user is warned by message about the
error. The properties page cannot be changed, and PROGRAM property sheet cannot be
closed during the process.

in the opposite direction). There can also be selected Disable daylight saving rule
option.

Other parameters

12

This properties sheet contains certain programmable parameters, namely:
FLAG Baud rate as it is defined in IEC1107, C mode. This speed can be ignored
by the program, which forces the communication at other speed as compared to the
programmed one.
Billing date, which is a monthly parameter and can be established between 128
day of every month.
Digits after the decimal point: The metered quantities can be displayed with 0 up
to 3 figures after the decimal point.
Display hold time: The time of displaying a quantity during the display sequence
can be programmed between 1...60 seconds.
Account and Identifier: Two programmable numerical strings of 16 and 8 figures,
which can be displayed and resituated at the meter reading.

Display sequence

The properties page comprises two lists:
Available items: which comprises all the quantities that can be displayed.
Display list: which comprises the quantities selected for displaying.
Each quantity is preceded by a code of 6 figures. The quantities with the first
three digits equal to zero are simple and fill in half of the memory space of the
quantities whose superior half code is different from zero. The memory space available
for the display list is equivalent to 31 simple quantities.
13
In order to add something new to the display list, press Insert item button, or
double click the requested item in the list on the left.
To eliminate a quantity from the display list, press Delete item button, or double
click the requested item in the list on the right.
The display list can be totally deleted by pressing Remove all. If Copy list
button is pressed, the maximum possible number of quantities starting with the first one
from the list of available quantities will be inserted in the display list.

METERS ACCESS
Communication with the meters
The communication with the meters is based on IEC1107 protocol C mode provisions.
The type of transmission is asynchronous, half duplex, with the following format for the
communication word: one start byte, 7 data bytes, para parity, one stop byte.
The communication begins with a foreword at 300 baud speed, initiated by the
computer, which comprises meter selection through its address, meter type reading, and
the negotiation of the communication baud speed, and the type of communication (data
reading, program reading, or programming). Then there follows the reading or writing
operation proper.
The meter address is that which is specified in the current list chosen in
Opticom2K program, and it has to correspond to the meter series + the last two digits of
the manufacturing year. The address shall be specified only for the meters connected to
the same communication bus. In case of meters, which are read through the optical port,
the address is not necessary to be specified, and General address can be used. On the
other hand, the addresses of Pxx cu xx=0039 form are reserved to be used in
conjunction with the multiplexing parallel interface. They shall not be used if this
interface is not present at the previously selected parallel port of the computer.
The communication speed is proposed by the meter, correlated with the
previously programmed one. The communication may continue either with this speed, or
there can be forced another communication speed.
The data-reading mode requires only the knowledge of the communication
protocol. The program-reading mode requires the fulfilment of an automatic safety
algorithm ensured by the program. The programming mode requires the knowledge of the
password previously written in the meter. If no password has been previously
programmed, the specified password shall be void (equivalent also to NULL password).
Certain reading or programming functions are available only when the meter
operates in a special mode, namely the CALIBRATION MODE. This mode is operative
only if a hardware modification is made in the meter after its unsealing.
EnerluxM module accepts only ENERLUX M type meters. The access of any
other type of device, even under the conditions of observing IEC1107 requirements will
be signalled out as error.

Meters reading
The meters reading function refers to the following possibilities:
Reading of the data as supplied by the meter.
Reading of the meter-operating program as it has been previously programmed.
Reading of the meter status data (i.e. clock, display mode, operating mode).
14
Reading of a complete report concerning the contents of the meter memory, which
sums up all the types of the previous readings.
Following the successful reading operations, the read data will be stored in files of
MeterSerial@aallzzhhmmss type names and extensions of dexm, pexm, sexm type, rexm,
respectively (as concerns the program files, @aallzzhhmmss does not appear). Following
every successful reading operation, the corresponding file will be automatically loaded in
Opticom 2K program view zone.
The reading of the meter program and meter status is made by using a safety algorithm,
while the data reading is possible only on the basis of the data reading procedure
according to IEC1107, C mode.
All the reading operations take place by means of Read meter dialog box.

This dialog box appears after launching any of the reading controls.
If Exit button is pressed, the dialog box closes.
referring to a generic meter, which is not contained in the meters list. In case there is no
current list, only General option is present. Description combo box contains the
descriptions of all the meters in the meters list established in Opticom2K program. The
selection of the target meter is made from this combo box. If All meters check box is
selected, the programming operation will be successively applied to all the meters on the
list. If the current list is null, the combo box is invalidated. This communication option
shall be used only when the meters are connected to a communication bus. Serial no
editing field reflects the contents of the current list as compared to the meter series (used
as communication address). As far as General option is concerned, it contains General
series. The alteration of this field is operative only during the existence of the dialog box,
it not being reflected by the contents of the meters list used by the program. Start
automatically check box will start the communication process if checked at the same
time with the dialog box launching, and Close when communication ends combo box
will automatically close the dialog box if checked in case there were no errors in the
communication process. The status of these boxes is memorized in dlgs.cfg. file. The user
may change the status of these boxes during the communication process.
Communication section enables the release and the control of the communication
operation. The communication operation is released by pressing Start button. The
communication process can be watched in WR (no. of transmitted characters) and RD
15
(number of read characters) fields. Pressing Stop button can interrupt the communication
process. If an error appears during the communication process, the process ends and the
user is warned through an error message. The Only current values option, when
checked causes the reading only for current register values (energies and maximum
demand). The dialog box cannot be closed during the communication process.

Reading dialog behaviour

The dialog box enables the configuration of the meter reading dialog boxes through the
selection of the following options: Starts automatically and Close when
communication ends. Default password editing field enables password configuration
for "General" options, as well as quick programming. The user can define new subfolders
for dta and report reading or use existing ones.

Meters programming
Meters programming operation implies knowing the password, which has been
previously entered into the meter (if it exists). The programming operation leads to the
change of the meter-operating mode. The programming refers to the following
operations:
Operating program writing
Maximum demand reset

Special commands:
Display mode programming
Passwords programming
Optical port LED behaviour programming
Meter initialisation
Meter measuring scheme

The control can be operated only if a communication port has been previously
selected for the optical probe, and the current is permitted to program the meter clock.
16
The meter internal clock programming is carried out by means of Program meter clock
dialog box.

Meter group contains the data of the current meters list, as well as General option which
refers to a generic meter not contained in the meters list. In case there is no current list,
only General option is present. Description combo box contains the descriptions of all
the meters from the meters list chosen from Opticom 2K software. The target meter
selection is made from this combo list. If All meters check box is selected, the
programming operation will be successively applied to all the meters on the list. If the
current list is null, the combo box is invalidated. This communication option has to be
used only when the meters are connected to a communication bus. Serial no and
Password editing fields reflect the contents of the current list concerning the meter series
(used as communication address) and the meter password. As far as General option is
concerned, these fields contain General series and NULL password, or the password
established in the reading dialogs behaviour. The alteration of these fields operates only
during the dialog box display, it not being contained in the meters list used by the
program, as well.
Date an time section comprises the following controls:
A time control (date and hour) which enables establishing the date and hour, which will
be written in the meter. Date and hour establishing is carried out by means of up and
down arrows.
Synchronization button: Following the current hour modification, this button is pressed
to update the time control values.
Communication section enables the release and control of the communication operation.
The communication operation is released by pressing Start button. The communication
process can be watched up in WR fields (no. of transmitted characters) and RD (no. of

occurs during the communication process, the process ends, and the user is warned by
error message. The dialog box cannot be closed during the communication process.

Operating program
17
The operating program writing is carried out by means of Program properties
sheet, Program preview properties page. The operating program writing means writing
into the meter the tariff program and the other parameters, either cumulatively or
selectively.
PROGRAM property sheet can be accessed by means of the meter editing and
programming controls.

Quick programming (meter program, clock)

The command for quick programming enables the transmission to the meter of the
program file loaded in the main window view zone in Opticom 2K program.
The quick clock control enables sending the calculator clock current value to the meter.
If these controls are activated, similar functions dialog boxes will be displayed. If the
operation has been correctly carried out, the communication starts automatically and the
dialog box closes automatically. The communication process can be watched up in WR
(no. of transmitted characters) and RD (no. of read characters) fields. The process can be
stopped by pressing Stop button. The process also stops at the occurrence of an error, and
it can be resumed by pressing Start button, or it can be closed by pressing Exit button.
The password that will be used in the communication process will be that which is
specified at the configuration of the communication dialog boxes.

Meter calibration
Meter calibration implies first of all its proper calibration as concerns the hardware
option. Calibration implies determining a set of four coefficients through calculations
made with the values shown by the meter as compared to the values of the voltages and
currents generator to which the meter is connected. Measurements shall be made after the
measuring circuit has been calibrated. Three measuring points are required for the
coefficients determining:
1. The meter base current for determining the energy pulses division coefficient as
compared to the selected CFDIV meter constant and to the APGAIN measured power
gain coefficient.
2. The minimum current for determining the offset coefficient of the measured power -
APOS.
3. The base and phase displacement current between voltage and 60 degrees current for
determining the displacement coefficient - PHCAL.
The meter calibration is carried out by means of an wizard type dialog. The wizard
comprises the following pages:

Calibration start
Calibration gain
Calibration offset
Calibration phase displacement
