RS485toMBus-5M, M-Port line
RS485 to M-Bus communication converter
|
|
|
Application
Remote data retrieval from M-Bus devices via the RS485 serial communication line in industry and building automation. The most frequently used M-Bus slave devices are heat, water and electricity consumption meters.
Description
The RS485toMBus-5M converter provides a RS485 to M-Bus interface conversion. There is no change in the content of the messages or communication speed during the conversion. The maximum possible number of M-Bus slave devices that can be connected is five.
Main characteristics
M-Bus port
- Connection of 1 to 5 M-Bus slave devices.
- Surge protection guaranteeing superior durability against overvoltage.
- Current protection against overload and short circuit on the communication line
with LED status indication.
Power supply
- Wide range of power supply voltages. DC 7.5 - 40V and AC 7.5 - 28V.
- Overvoltage protection.
- LED power supply indication.
RS485
- Signals: A, B and GND.
- Protections against overvoltage.
- Galvanic separation from the M-Bus line.
Mechanical construction
- Plastic box with mounting on 35 mm DIN rail.
- Narrow box. 17.5mm mounting width on the DIN rail.
Differences from the RS485toMBus-5 converter
- Very small mounting width on the DIN rail.
- Less powerful overvoltage protection on the M-Bus line.
- Less powerful M-Bus line driver. The maximum length of the M-Bus line is in the range of hundreds of meters.
- Smaller operating temperature range.
Guarantee of quality
- Each converter passes through several functional electrical tests during the production.
Additionally a communication test is performed after final assembly.
- EMC certification in an accredited laboratory for industrial environment.
- Solid design and construction based on many years practical experience.
