Two,DLMSphysicallayerprotocol
physical layer protocol DLMS protocol suite is located in the bottom, is responsible for the
physical transfer of data communications. DLMS can operate in a variety of physical media (PSTN,
Internet,serialchannels,etc.).
The physical layer of the receiving data link layer, to the physical medium, transmitted to the
communicationpeer.Orreceivetrafficontheclientsendsmoredataarethentransmittedtothelinklayer

DLMS physical layer protocol, the main provisions of the physical layer should be
implemented services, such as: open ports, initialize port, send data, close the ports. In a typical
embedded systems (such as electrical energy collection device), the physical layer corresponds to the
underlying system drive section. This part of the communication protocol is generally not controlled.
Therefore, without affecting the protocol functions to achieve the premise, this article will not discuss
thespecificphysicallayerservices.
Three,DLMSprotocollinklayer

isthe functionofthislayeroftheMACsublayerdataisforwardedtotheapplicationlayer,the
application layer or the data transmitted to the MAC sublayer. LLC sublayer of the data is only as a

Since LLC sublayer link transmission service implementation, you can not DLMS protocol
restrictions implemented by the application. Therefore, this article does not specify the LLC sublayer

(Two),MACsublayer(MACsublayer)
MAC sublayer of the data link layer is responsible for transmission reliability, including the
address checking, data CRC checksum, length of the data frame packing unpacking and so on. These
efforts are essential for data communications, MAC sublayer functional description will focus on the

HDLCis a transparent data transmission link layer protocol. Userdatalinklayerdoesnot have
any relationship with. In the DLMS protocol model, the link layer is responsible for data
transmission reliability, applicationlayerprocessinguser data.Linklayertotheapplicationlayerto
providetransparentdatatransmissionchannel.
Four,DLMSapplicationlayerprotocol
application layer protocol DLMS understand, you need to first establish the following
concepts:
ASN.1syntax,BERencoding,AXDRcoding.
ASN.1 syntax is used to describethe application layer data frame. DLMS protocol is different from
some other place where simple communication protocol in this. He is notusingsomeformandto some
fixed frame format to describe, but with an abstract syntax of language to describe. This has the
advantage that greatly improves the agreement of abstraction and versatility, is conducive to the
transplantprocedure.
BER encoding and AXDR encoding is used to achieve the ASN.1 syntax. In order toachieve
the ASN.1abstract and versatility, this syntax to use special coding to describe. This introduces BER
encodingandAXDRcoding.

with the basic concepts of syntax and coding, the following began to discuss specificDLMS
application layer protocol. In the previous model DLMS protocol has been described, during the
application layer data communication prior to establishing the link layer connectivity and application
layer connections. Link layer connection has been explained in the link layer protocol,followingabout
howtocreateapplicationlayerconnection.
Application layer connection is established by AARQ client sends data frames, serverside
response AARE data frame to achieve. Both the data frame is mainly the application layer data
communicationconfigurationparameters.
