Important fields

FieldDescription

IsEncrypted

true if the parsed telegram is still encrypted
DecryptionFailed

true if the parser tied to decrypt the telegram without success.

Can be used in conjunction with IsEncrypted to detect if the telegram was encrypted (see below).

PayloadKnownIf the payload of the telegram (related to the CI field) is known to the parser and can be parsed
BodyParseErrorError while parsing the payload body
FormatSignatureUnique signature of the DifVif structure of all DataRecords. If any DifVif changes, the FormatSignature does change as well.

Encryption state

IsEncryptedDecryptionFailedMeaning
truetrueNo valid key
falsefalseTelegram not encrypted
truefalseTelegram is encrypted but parser can not decrypt it (e.g. unknown algorithm)
falsetruePlain telegram where decryption failed - should not happen

VifUnit & VifQuantity

There are a many valid combinations of VifUnit & VifQuantity. All possible values are listed below.

Lines without VifUnit have an empty string as Unit.

Domain Model Mapping Extention


When Using wMbus/OMS Telegrams there is a Problem: The Telegrams are self describing in a way that they describe values as "this is a Volume in m³" "this is a Date with Time" but they dont include the information about the businesses meaning if the value.

...

When we want to create a heating bill for tenants we need to know the meaning because we want to use a Due Date and the Value for that due Date or we want to use the actual H.C.A Value with the it is from.
The problem here is: The order and meaning of these Values differ widely. Sometimes the actual Value is the first one, sometimes the last one, Sometimes Due Date values of the last 12 months are presented in  descending order sometimes in ascending order. Sometimes the date information regarding due dates are grouped next to the duedate values some times values and date information are kept in 2 blocks. So we want to archive a a way to configure the logical meaning for different devices so we can produce a general usable format containing the meter data usable by billing software.


Mapping Configuration

Configures how telegrams are mapped to the Domain Model.

...

  • A comment so humans can identify the mappings.
  • A filter part to select telegrams that the mapping shall be applied to. The mapping is applied if all filters match true.
  • A object "heat" or "water" defining which values of the telegram shall be mapped in to which Field of a Domain Model output.
