Description
The M-Bus protocol is a standard protocol for reading of devices like heat, water, gas and electrical energy meters. M-Bus is normalized as EN 1434 and EN 13757. Many manufacturers have implemented an M-Bus interface based on this standard.
With the M-Bus FBox library, the Saia PCD® acts as Master and is able to read the values from the meters, using either a PCD2/3.F27x module, an M-Bus level converter for RS 232 serial lines or TCP/IP communication.
The application is created with Fupla FBoxes. Generic FBoxes are available to read the typical values of most common heat counters like Energy, Power, Volume, Volume flow and Temperatures. Specific FBoxes have been created for known particular devices, see the List of supported devices. Further on additional FBoxes are available to read additional, specific values.
