Overview

GVT (GBCS Validation Tool) can be used in various combinations of Smart Metering devices and because of that it can serve various groups of Smart Metering Implementation Programme in verification of their respective devices’ GBCS implementation.

  • Build, execute and reuse complete real-life SMETS2.x business scenarios using GUI-based of GBCS Commands.
  • Plug-and-play of Instrumented Test Comms Hubs (ITCH) from all manufacturers.
  • Perform efficient, consistent, and reliable HAN regression testing.
    User Guide

Multiple Interfaces

  • Communicating with Debug CHF through LAN/WAN. This combination can help Energy Suppliers to perform end to end test scenarios without the need of DSP and they can use TCH or ITCH.
  • Communicating with CHF through Serial Communication. CHF Device manufacturers can use this option to validate their implementation of GBCS during their development phase.
  • Communicating with Metering Devices through Serial Communication. Metering Device manufacturers can use this option to validate their implementation of GBCS during their development phase, without need of setting up complete test environment with CHF and ACB
  • Communicating with ITCH Devices through Serial Communication.
