Description
Gateway M-Bus Master - KNX TP - 80 devices
The ekinex® M-Bus master EK-BM1-TP gateway is a
KNX modular unit for panel mounting. It allows you to
exchange informations with one or more slave devices
over a serial network through M-Bus protocol. The
ekinex gateway acts as M-Bus Master. The informations
exchanged over the M-Bus network are updated over
the KNX network by means of a twisted pair (TP)
communication cable.
The device manages a two-way data stream: the M-Bus
registers can be cyclically read and their value sent as a
communication object over the KNX TP network
through a multicast communication to configured group
addresses. The data update over the KNX network can
be done cyclically and/or on event of change of the data
acquired by the M-Bus network.
Likewise, the ekinex gateway can make requests to
cyclically readings KNX communication objects or
acquire their values during data exchange over the bus.
Cyclically or on event of change of the communication
objects, data are written on the M-Bus registers of one
or more configured devices.
The ekinex gateway supports the entire M-Bus master
protocol. The maximum number of supported slave
devices depends on the gateway model. It allows to link
to KNX communication objects different measures and
variables such as meters, energy totalizers, flow, power,
absorbed current and so on.
