USBtoMBus-5K

In terms of compactness and ease of connection to a PC this converter is an ideal tool for configuring M-Bus meters at their place of installation and for their on-site inspection.

It can also be used for permanent data readout from M-Bus devices via the USB interface in industry or building automation applications. The most commonly used M-Bus slave devices in these applications are heat, water and electricity consumption meters.

The USBtoMBus-5K converter enables connection of an M-Bus line with readout devices through the USB interface. The communication works the same way as with a RS232 converter. Message transmission is done without any changes to message content. The communication speed is set in the USB serial port drivers. The maximum number of M-Bus slave devices that can be connected is 5.

M-Bus port

• Connection of 1 to 5 M-Bus slave devices.
• Surge protection guaranteeing superior protection against overvoltage.
• Current protection against overload and short circuit on the communication line
  with LED status indication.

USB
