Kamstrup MULTICAL 403
|
|
|
|
The Kamstrup Meter Protocol (KMP) is used by certain Kamstrup utility
|
|
meters and can be used to read measurements from the meter.
|
|
|
|
For example, the Kamstrup MULTICAL 403 is a meter used by some energy
|
|
companies in The Netherlands to measure delivered heat by a district heating
|
|
network (in Dutch: stadsverwarming).
|
|
|
|
Heat is transported using warm water to the consumer. The meter measures
|
|
the temperature of the water delivered and returned as well as the water
|
|
flow. This is used to calculate the consumed energy, typically in giga
|
|
joule (GJ).
|
|
|
|
The Kamstrup Multical has an optical interface just above the display
|
|
that uses the Kamstrup Meter Protocol for communication.
|
|
This component can be used to request measurements from the meter using
|
|
the optical interface.
|
|
|
|
A :ref:`UART bus <uart>` is required to communicate with the meter.

Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **heat_energy** (*Optional*): Heat energy delivered.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **power** (*Optional*): Current power delivered.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **temp1** (*Optional*): Temperatue of sensor 1.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **temp2** (*Optional*): Temperatue of sensor 2.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **temp_diff** (*Optional*): Temperature difference between the 2 sensors.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **flow** (*Optional*): Water flow.
|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|

|
|
All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
- **custom** (*Optional*): List of custom sensors.
|
|
|
|
- **command** (**Required**, 2-byte hex): The KMP command code (e.g. 0x003C).
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
|
|
|
|
- **update_interval** (*Optional*): The polling interval. Defaults to ``60s``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
- The uart baudrate has to be set to 1200 baud and the stop bits to 2.
|
|
It is recommended to use pins associated with a hardware UART.
|
|
For more information regarding uart configuration, refer to :ref:`UART <uart>`.
|
|
- Only the provided sensors will appear as sensor, and only those are read from
|
|
the meter.
|
|
- Custom sensors can be used to receive measurements from the Kampstrup meter,
|
|
other than the ones provided natively with this component. To request extra
|
|
measurements, add one or multiple sensors to the ``custom`` setting and provide the
|
|
KMP command. This command is a 2 byte integer value. For example ``0x003C`` is
|
|
the command code for heat energy. In the example above, two custom sensors were
|
|
added. These request the Heat Energy and Heat Power respectively. This will be the
|
|
same as the native ``heat_energy`` and ``power`` sensors.
|
|
- Keep in mind that the meter is battery operated. The more sensors read and the
|
|
lower the update interval, the faster the battery will drain.
|
|

|
Hardware
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The Kamstrup meter uses an optical interface, just above the display. The required
|
|
optical transceiver can be made using the schematic below. Connect the RX and TX
|
|
lines to the pins configured under the uart section in the config file.

Optical reader schematic
|
|
|
|
To safe energy, the optical interface of the Kamstrup meter is not active by default.
|
|
To activate the interface, press a button on the device. The interface will now be
|
|
available for a few minutes. To keep the interface alive, magnets must be placed
|
|
around the LED / photo diode. The image below shows the arrangement. The green
|
|
circles are the LED and photo diode, which must be placed exactly on top of the
|
|
optical interface window of the meter. The red circles indicate 6mm neodymium
|
|
magnets.
