DLMS Client Physical Address Configuration Serial No error

Hi,

DLMS Client Physical Address Configuration

Address type : Default Address or Serial No

HDLC Address is Server Address or Last 4 digits of Meter Serial No

How to know physical Server Address for Serial No, Multiple connection RS485 Loop, How to configure individual through Serial No or

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Firstly, please make sure your device firmware is updated to the latest stable release, as recent versions introduced important changes regarding DLMS server address specification.

To clarify, the Server Address is also commonly referred to as the Physical Device Address or Lower Address. For each physical DLMS device, there can only be one physical server address. This parameter is mainly used in serial connections where no other means of uniquely addressing a device are available.

  • If you want to address a DLMS server by its serial number, set the Server Address Type to Serial Number.
  • In the Serial Number field, enter the value calculated using the formula:
    Server address (Serial number) = (SN % 10000) + 1000

where SN is the actual serial number of the DLMS device.

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Kindly provide some example with Meter Full Serial No : 77013123

Serial number unsigned integer; default: 1 DLMS device serial number. Uses formula 'SN % 10000 + 1000

Hello,

Thank you for the update. I’ve checked and clarified this serial number part with our DLMS developer. In your case, you would simply need to specify 77013123 in the Serial Number field, and that’s it.

The DLMS client will internally apply the required algorithm, so you can skip that formula calculation yourself and just enter the actual meter serial number directly.

Best regards,

We checked RS485 port Default address its connected first time after again failed, Used RUT906 FW 7.17.5.

In TCP connection working communicated reading parameters. But RS485 not connecting properly failed make connection below error.

Gurux GXDLMSDirector software used to tested Meter, when communicated properly data is available.

“error”: 260,
“result”: “Failed to make connection with device: Not enough memory available.”

Any latest firmware available suitable for DLMS client for all models? Or older version

@anon65719490 Any Latest Firmware for DLMS settings ? Could you please share it

Hello,

The returned error message is a known issue and is not actually related to memory. It is most commonly caused by a faulty serial cable connection or an incorrect serial device configuration.

Please double-check and, if possible, reconnect the RS485 cable to ensure all wiring is correct. If the issue persists, could you please provide a photo of the RS485 wiring and screenshots from the DLMS client configurations?

Best regards,

yes, we checked RS485 cable all connection D+/D- okay. First time we got result is okay, next time trying to connect showing error. One Meter Model is working good, other model showing error.

Hello,

Could you please confirm whether you have tried using the meter’s Serial Number instead of the Default Server Address when configuring this specific meter?

Also, can you confirm if the serial communication with this meter was working correctly on any previous firmware versions?

From your previous message, I understand that the meter communicates and reads all parameters correctly through Gurux DLMS Director via RS485, but on RUT it fails with the error code 260, right?

Furthermore, could you install the 7.18.1 firmware, as it includes several improvements related to the DLMS service? After the update, please check if the same issue persists.
