Object identification system (OBIS) Codes are used to identify the different readings of a smart meter transferred in Smart Message Language (SML). They are described in the international standard IEC 62056-61.
Structure
Every code consists of 6 separated group sub-identifiers. In general some of these identifiers may be omitted but our products require the full code. The basic pattern is:
A-B:C.D.E*F
group
description
examples
A
medium
1 = electricity, 8 = water
B
channel
0 = no channel available
C
physical unit, depends onA
power, current, voltage...
D
measurement type, depends onAandC
maximum, current value, energy...
E
tariff
0 = total, 1 = tariff 1, 2 = tariff 2 ...
F
separate values defined byA-E
billing periods,255if not used
Examples
1-0:1.8.0*255
Positive active energy (A+) total [kWh]
1-0:3.8.1*255
Positive reactive energy (Q+) in tariff T1 [kvarh]
