Connection for All Makes of Consumption Meters: M-Bus
The M-Bus – An Inherently Cost-Optimized Fieldbus
The M-Bus system, based on a master/slave communication model, can be operated as a line, star or tree topology. The master powers the serial bus and processes the data of the M-Bus slaves (measurement devices).
M-Bus in Brief:
- A single bus cable connects all meters to a central system.
- Select bus nodes are supplied directly via the two-wire bus.
- Devices from different manufacturers can be connected to a bus system, which does not bind users to a meter manufacturer.
