CIM Issues #6511
Support gas metering with additional event codes and measurements
61968-9
Description
Gas metering is a bit different than electricity metering.
Some of the commands and measurements defined in previous editions for electricity carry over and work for gas, but more are needed to support it better.
Proposed Solution
Add to EndDeviceType "valve". This valve may (or may not) be part of a gas meter.
Add to EndDeviceDomain "open" and "closure". These are actions the valve might take. We must also explain in the narrative how "open" relates to "connected" and "closed" to "disconnected.
Add to EndDeviceSubDomain elements such as "communication", "battery", metrology", "leakage", and others. While "battery exists at the domain level, we want to be able to say things like "valve.closure.battery.criticalLevel" to mean that the valve had an autonomous closure event because its battery reached a critical level. (Batteries can have other levels besides critical.)
Add to EndDeviceEventOrAction a few more fields such as "criticalLevel" and "Detected".
