Check Endpoint Functions
The FDM Check Endpoint function triggers users to input the number of dials and drive rate if
a Check Endpoint is requested for an endpoint programmed for 5, 6, or 7-dial meter
configurations. The request to input the dial and drive rate information happens only if the
system has more than one option using the same count rate and rollover variable enabled in
their FDM business unit.
Note: Itron recommends that users only enable the configurations used by your business
unit. Having only one meter configuration option enabled (with the endpoint variable being
checked in the FDM business unit) eliminates the need to enter the number of dials.
Field Collection System (FCS) (Mobile Mode Only)
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay network.
In FCS, a Read Type Code can be assigned to a meter session. The Read Type Code in
conjunction with the Endpoint Type is used to determine how the endpoint reading is
formatted using the Endpoint Translation table in FCS. The Endpoint Translation table is a
configurable table that is used to determine the truncation factor and multiplier for each
reading. A default Endpoint Translation is defined for each type of endpoint supported by FCS
(ReadType of 00 for each EndpointType). If the default Endpoint Translation is not formatting
the read correctly, an additional Endpoint Translation can be defined to properly format the
read.
Since the Endpoint Translation Code is based on the Read Type Code and the Endpoint
Type, changing from a 40-series endpoint to a 100-series endpoint can cause the reading to
be truncated differently. If you have issues with your reading after a change out, check your
Read Type Codes and Endpoint Translation Codes.
OpenWay Collection Manager (OWCM)
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay network.
The OpenWay CollectionManager (OWCM) collects the raw reading and passes it on without
making any formatting changes.
Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) Meter Data Management
Note: This section applies only to devices running on the OpenWay network.
The standard unit of measure (UOM) in IEE is cubic feet for gas endpoints. The reading
passed on by the gas endpoint is not in cubic feet if endpoints with 6 and 7-dial meter
configurations are programmed, so adjustments are required to set the correct unit of
measure. If you have issues with your readings in IEE but your endpoint and meter index
match, check your unit of measure within IEE.
