CJ/T 188-2004 plugin for Advanced Serial Data Logger

Latest version: 5.0.1 build 206. February 6, 2025.

The plugin implements reading data from heat and energy meters supporting the communication protocol defined in the Chinese "CJ/T 188-2004" standard. Centralized meter reading system is a system in which the master station can read data of multiple household meters through RS-485, COM ports or Ethernet. This protocol is similar to M-Bus, but adds some unique features.

This protocol adopts a half-duplex communication mode with a master-slave structure. A computer or server acts as the master station that polls multiple meters, which function as slave stations.

This module has the following features:

• The software is capable of extracting real-time data from compatible devices in a user-friendly format.
• This plugin is compatible with both serial and network interfaces, allowing for seamless integration.
• Users can customize the interval at which meter data is retrieved.
• Simultaneous polling of data from multiple devices is supported by this plugin.
• Measurement units and precision are automatically detected by the plugin, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
