This part of IEC 62056 specifies the physical layer services and protocols within the COSEM three-layer connection oriented profile for asynchronous data communication. The document does not specify physical layer signals and mechanical aspects. Local, implementation-specific issues are also not specified. In annex A, an example of how this physical layer can be used for data exchange through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using intelligent Hayes modems is given. The use of the physical layer for the purposes of direct local data exchange using an optical port or a current loop physical interface is specified in IEC 62056-21. Annex B gives an explanation of the role of data models and protocols in electricity meter data exchange.
