1.6 Safety guidelines

All power sources to the device must always be switched off before carrying out any

installation, repair or maintenance work.

Replace any defective or damaged devices/modules (i. e. in the event of deformed contacts), as the

functionality of the devices cannot be ensured on a long-term basis.

The components are not resistant against materials having seeping and insulating characteristics.

Materials like e.g. aerosols, silicones, triglycerides (found in some hand creams) belong to this group.

If it cannot be ruled out that these materials appear in the component environment, then the

components must be installed in an enclosure that is resistant against the above mentioned

materials.

Clean tools and materials are generally required to operate the device/module.

Only use a soft, wet cloth for cleaning. Soapy water is allowed. Pay attention to ESD.

Do not use solvents like alcohol, acetone etc. for cleaning.

Do not use contact sprays, which could possibly impair the functioning of the contact area

and may cause short circuits.

Components, especially OEM modules, are designed for the mounting into electronic

housings. Those devices shall not be touched when powered or while in actual operation.

The valid standards and guidelines applicable for the installation of switch cabinets shall be

adhered to.

The devices are equipped with electronic components that may be destroyed by

electrostatic discharge when touched. It is necessary to provide good grounding to

personnel, working environment and packing. Electroconductive parts and contacts should

not be touched.

2General information

The M-Bus (Meter-Bus) is an established and well-known interface for automated meter reading.

Especially the ease of installation (simple two-wire system with powering by the bus) and the

robustness are important features. These are also special attributes that are of interest for use in

industrial environments.

The M-Bus is defined in the standard EN 13757. There is an own physical layer as well as an own

protocol. For connecting it to other systems a translation is necessary.

In the field of building automation BACnet is one of the most common communication standards.

Bringing these two worlds, the M-Bus and the BACnet/IP, together, gateways are needed. The

products MBUS-GE20B and MBUS-GE80B (hereafter called MBUS-GEB) are such gateways allowing

the direct transmission of meter data to a control system (PLC, DDC etc.).

The device supports operating from 20 up to 80 meters (unit loads) at the M-Bus. A powerful

protocol stack is implemented. It handles the complete data handling on the MBUS-GEB compliant

to the standard. All the available meters on the market can be read out and processed without

further manual configuration. The meter data is available for other systems without effort.

The MBUS-GEB serves as a BACnet/IP server via its Ethernet port. The PLC as a BACnet/IP client can

access directly the meter data via a network connection. The data is directly available as different

BACnet objects.

The MBUS-GEB gateway reads out the meters autonomously. That is why an initial configuration of

the device is necessary. The built-in configuration website eases this process. Via this website all of

the functionality is available to the user. In addition to the basic system configuration, values can be

selected to be available via BACnet/IP, M-Bus scans can be performed and the current data is

reported. In this way, remote control or remote service is also possible.

The MBUS-GEB comes in a 2 U enclosure (modules) for the variants MBUS-GE20B and MBUS-GE80B

and is intended for DIN rail mounting (standard 35 mm DIN rail).

2.1 Device variants

The MBUS-GEB is a modular designed gateway. As different variants are available it is possible to use

the configuration which fits best to the application.
