To read the active energy for the previous month on the Metcom Solutions MCS301 meter, follow these steps:

1. Use the Blue2Link readout and setting tool.
2. Connect to the meter via the optical or RS485 interface.
3. Access the register data using the DLMS/COSEM protocol.
4. Retrieve the required OBIS codes:
- 1-0:1.8.x.255 for positive active energy (+A).
- 1-0:2.8.x.255 for negative active energy (-A).
5. Check the load profile data or billing data for the previous month.
6. Use the log file to verify stored historical energy values.

These steps allow retrieval of active energy consumption for the previous month.

    After commissioning the meter sends its IP address and its system title to the HES using the Data-Notification service. The MCS301 meter provides a trigger (e.g. SMS, reset button) to invoke the push method of the corresponding push object. The execution of the push method results in a transmission of the Data-Notification message to the set IP address destination.
