Using a Best-Practice Approach for Achieving Standards-Based Plug-and-Play Interoperability

A course delivered at Autivation 2006, October 22 by Dr. Avygdor Moise.

The course included 2006 updates and reviews of new and existing C12 Standards that have been published or are about to be published. It also addresses reliability and security enhancements that are proposed for open AMR – going beyond metering and using these Standards for enterprise and open exchange applications. The course covers AMR user’s requirements, the definition of utility driven requirements and the formation of user groups and best practices for achieving plug-and-play interoperability.

Covered topics shall include:

• Latest updates on existing and new IEEE/ANSI standards
• Updates to ANSI C12.18 / IEEE P1701 (point-to-point communication protocol) and ANSI C12.21 / IEEE P1702 (modem
  communication)
• Enhanced ANSI C12.19 / IEEE P1377, Utility Industry Standard Tables, WYSIWYG delivery of engineering units, demand control,
  extended user-defined tables and support for one-way devices
• Reliability and security enhancements for open AMR
• Enterprise and open exchange technologies
• ANSI C12.19 / IEEE P1377 and ANSI C12.22 / IEEE P1703 open object directory and services and XML tools for transporting
  utility industry data over networks.

Dr. Avygdor Moise is an AMR and network implementation consultant to utilities, manufacturers and legislators. He is the author of a book about utility industry standard tables and a member, chair and co-chair of several standards organizations.
