Communication Flows
The table below lists the communications created for each Sensus RNI command:
Command | Outbound Communication | Inbound Communication | Completion Event |
|---|
Remote Connect | Sensus – Initiate Connect Disconnect | Sensus – Connect / Disconnect State Change | Connect Device Completion Event |
Remote Disconnect | Sensus – Initiate Connect Disconnect | Sensus – Connect / Disconnect State Change | Disconnect Device Completion Event |
Device Commissioning | Sensus – Meter Add Notification | | Device Commissioning Completion Event |
Device Decommissioning | Sensus – Meter Remote Notification | | Device Decommissioning Completion Event |
On-Demand Read (Scalar) | Sensus – Initiate Meter Read By Meter ID | Sensus – Reading Changed Notification | Create IMD Completion Event |
On-Demand Read (Interval) | Interval data not supported |
Device Status Check | Sensus – Initiate Outage Detection | Sensus – Outage Detection Event Notification | |
Unit of Measure Filtering for On-Demand Reads
Readings returned via On-Demand Read commands are filtered on the combination of Unit of Measure/Time of Use/Service Quantity Identifiers (UOM/TOU/SQI) configured for the device and measuring component. When filtering is enabled, only readings that match a configured UOM/TOU/SQI combination are processed. All others are filtered out.
Filtering is enabled by default via the “Opt Out Of Filtering” parameter (set to "false" by default) on the D6-CCOMPEV (Create IMD Completion Event) algorithm on the Create Completion Events status of the D6-ReadingChgNotification (Sensus - Reading Changed Notif SOA based) business object.
The D6-VALDVCFIL (Check if Device has any Filtering errors) algorithm on the Validate status of the D6-ReadingChgNotification (Sensus - Reading Changed Notif SOA based) business object is used to check for errors related to filtering. The value of the “Opt Out Of Filtering” parameter on this algorithm must match the value of the parameter on the D6-CCOMPEV algorithm. The parameters should both be set to either "false" (the default) or "true" (if filtering is to be disabled).
