Hi
Has anybody built the IEC 1107 Electricity Meter Interface which was featured way back in march 2002?
I've got the hardware working OK, but the PC software is giving me problems.
It gets to the part " ...Waiting for identification message..." and just sits there doing nothing.
I'm going to assume that the software is meant to send out some sort of command at different Baud rates until it gets a reply from the meter. Is this correct? I've had a datalogger between the serial port of my PC and the interface circuit, and there is no transmitted data at all. I know the serial port and interface are OK because I used other PC software with the IR LED and IR detector aligned for a simple loop-back test and everything works fine.
Has anybody got one working ?
Does anybody know more about the IEC 1107 protocol?
Best regards and thanks for reading my first post.
