MBUS201 Master
Fieldbus Module Adapter
Energy meters (gas, heat, output, water etc.) are required in power plants, and in combined heat and power generation in particular, for regulation, as well as accounting. The M-Bus standardized in EN 61334-4-1 is highly prevalent in Europe for the connection of these meters. The OSI model, if M-Bus is the physical layer, the data link according to IEC 870 and the application layer according to EN 1434-3 are specified for this protocol.
An integrated solution is provided by a rugged and easily installable M-Bus adapter and its convenient integration as a fieldbus in software communication.
The MBUS201 master enables easy connection of a serial RS232 interface on M-Bus via an adapter.
The M-Bus is a widely used fieldbus in accordance with EN 13757 for reading out consumption data from meters (electricity, water, gas, heat). Transmission is serial via voltage and current modulation on a two-wire line that is protected against polarity reversal.
The M-Bus protocol is integrated as an intuitively configurable fieldbus, and is addressed via the UFB (Unified FieldBus ) software interface.
