IEC 62056 - DLMS/COSEM training course

Two-day training course regarding the capabilities, benefits and recent developments of the IEC 62056 communication protocol.

Correct exchange of meter data is of major importance in the liberalized energy market. Remote energy meter interrogation is essential for the fast and reliable determination of balance or unbalance between forecasts and actual energy usage as well as for a smooth meter-to-bill process. The data collection protocol IEC 62056 is an international standard that is fit for this purpose, as it is developed to support a wide variety of utility businesses processes in the energy meter. This course will provide you with the knowledge you need regarding the capabilities and benefits of IEC 62056 communication and regarding recent developments in this field.
