Reading

Specific value measured by a meter or other asset, or calculated by a system. Each Reading is associated with a specific ReadingType.

ReadingType

ReadingType

Type information for this reading value.

InstanceSet

1

InstanceSet

Dataset containing the data objects.

MeasurementValueSource

1

MeasurementValueSource

A reference to the type of source that updates the MeasurementValue, e.g. SCADA, CCLink, manual, etc. User conventions for the names of sources are contained in the introduction to IEC 61970-301.

position

0..1

integer

A sequential value representing the relative position within a given time interval.

reason

0..1

ReadingReasonKind

Reason for this reading being taken.

valueMissing

0..1

boolean

The indication of whether or not the quantity of this reading is missing.

All meter readings (sets of values) containing this reading value.

IOPointSource

Local merasurement value source for an ICCP point.

MeasurementValueQuality

MeasurementValueQuality

A MeasurementValue has a MeasurementValueQuality associated with it.

PropertiesCIMDataObject

0..1

ChangeSetMember

The single CIM data object in the appropriate dataset context.

RemoteSource

0..1

RemoteSource

Link to the physical telemetered point associated with this measurement.

aliasName

0..1

string

The aliasName is free text human readable name of the object alternative to IdentifiedObject.name. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy. The attribute aliasName is retained because of backwards compatibility between CIM relases. It is however recommended to replace aliasName with the Name class as aliasName is planned for retirement at a future time.

description

0..1

string

The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy.

mRID

0..1

string

Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended. For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.

name

0..1

string

The name is any free human readable and possibly non unique text naming the object.

reportedDateTime

0..1

date

(used only when there are detailed auditing requirements) Date and time at which the reading was first delivered to the metering system.

sensorAccuracy

0..1

PerCent

The limit, expressed as a percentage of the sensor maximum, that errors will not exceed when the sensor is used under reference conditions.

source

0..1

string

System that originally supplied the reading (e.g., customer, AMI system, handheld reading system, another enterprise system, etc.).

timePeriod

0..1

DateTimeInterval

Start and end of the period for those readings whose type has a time attribute such as 'billing', seasonal' or 'forTheSpecifiedPeriod'.

timeStamp

0..1

date

The time when the value was last updated.

value

0..1

string

Value of this reading.
