Class Description
Asset container that performs one or more end device functions. One type of end device is a meter which can perform metering, load management, connect/disconnect, accounting functions, etc. Some end devices, such as ones monitoring and controlling air conditioners, refrigerators, pool pumps may be connected to a meter. All end devices may have communication capability defined by the associated communication function(s). An end device may be owned by a consumer, a service provider, utility or otherwise.
There may be a related end device function that identifies a sensor or control point within a metering application or communications systems (e.g., water, gas, electricity).
Some devices may use an optical port that conforms to the ANSI C12.18 standard for communications.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|
| amrSystem | String | Automated meter reading (AMR) or other communication system responsible for communications to this end device. |
| installCode | String | Installation code. |
| isPan | Boolean | If true, this is a premises area network (PAN) device. |
| isSmartInverter | Boolean | |
| isVirtual | Boolean | If true, there is no physical device. As an example, a virtual meter can be defined to aggregate the consumption for two or more physical meters. Otherwise, this is a physical hardware device. |
