03-2 Training and Seminars
The first official DLMS/COSEM Training Seminar, held as a pre-conference to the Metering Europe Conference 2002 in Amsterdam, was a real success. Nearly 20 participants followed the one-day course, and a very active exchange of ideas took place.
As a next step, a one or two day seminar was announced on the Internet pages "dlms.com". The seminar was planned in April, and a beautiful site in Budapest was proposed. Interesting enough, a big local interest led to a change of plans: the seminar was held in Hungarian, and more than 40 participants updated their knowledge in DLMS!
Of course, the structure of the seminar has been updated and enhanced with practical examples: It consists of the following chapters:
- Main concepts of COSEM/DLMS: support of metering all energy types, selective and secure access, flexibility, innovation, support of various communication media, interoperability, ease of system integration
- COSEM object-oriented model, the interface classes and their use
- using the model: the xDLMS data communication services
- Communication profiles, protocol stacks
- Demonstration of a DLMS/COSEM based data collection system with meters from various manufacturersConformance testing
- Practical implementation examples
- Daily support of users through the website.
What do we offer now for those wanting to follow the seminar in English? Plans are well advanced to organize the next DLMS/COSEM Training Seminar as a pre-conference to the Metering Europe Conference 2003 in Paris, on 30 September 2003. Please keep checking the DLMS website, news will be published there as soon as they are available.
