Automatic demand reset

This service supports the option to automatically create a demand reset request as part of the read request. To enable this functionality, the following system settings must be configured: Demand Reset Time Offset, Demand Reset Meter Reason Codes, and Demand Reset UOMs.

Once configured, when a meter read request is received from SAP, then the Meter Read Reason Code and UOM code mapping are compared to the configured values. If there is a match, in addition to the read request, a demand reset request will be created by IEE DeviceComm at the scheduled meter read time plus or minus the Demand Reset Time Offset (generally prior). This time offset allows resetting the demand without impacting the regular meter reading process.

The register read values returned from the demand reset will have the _PB (Previous Billing) UOM returned as per current IEE functionality. These values will then be mapped to the base UOM (KW_DEL_MAX for example), which will be returned in the response to SAP at the scheduled meter reading time.
