RTM Elster AMCO applicative PFS Coronis Systems
5.5.4.Time Of Use (TOU) buckets configuration and readings
RTM Elster AMCO offers the possibility to manage up to 6 TOU buckets. This means that each port has 7
totalizers, one for current reading and the 6 others corresponding to TOU Buckets.
ATTENTION:
Activating TOU Buckets on an unsynchronized RTM is not recommended. Indeed, this feature
highly depends on RTM RTC parameter which is automatically updated only when the RTM is
synchronized.
ATTENTION :
Time Of Use buckets is not available in evoHop Elster AMCO profile.
➔ TOU Buckets configuration
The parametrization can be done by using the standard reading and writing command (See section §4.2).
The parameter to read or write is the parameter 0x60.
ATTENTION:
RTM Elster AMCO check for coherence in the TOU buckets programming when user access to
the configuration parameter:
–
If the number of TOU Buckets is lower than 2, then TOU buckets management will
be rejected (update status = error) even if it is activated.
–
If starting hour list is not coherent, i.e. there are windows overlaps, RTM Elster
AMCO sends back to the initiator of the request an error status for parameter
writing access.
–
When less than 6 TOU Buckets are expected, fields relative to not used TOU
buckets will not be treated by the RTM Elster AMCO for coherence. Parameter
length is always seven bytes.
ATTENTION:
If TOU Buckets configuration parameter is modified, it is in charge of the user to initialize the
feature. The only way to reset the TOU buckets totalizers is to modify the TOU buckets activation
bit in Operating Mode parameter.
Each totalizer return by the RTM are complete totalizer means that the current totalizer isn't taken into
account. In other words, at the end of each TOU bucket the current totalizer is stored into a memory and the
user can only access this memory zone through this reading command.
ATTENTION:
When RTM Elster AMCO is configured in Drive By/Walk By mode, TOU buckets are automatically turned
off. So reading TOU Buckets in this case will not be relevant.
