Device working as a gateway (protocol conversion) between a M-Bus network and a KNX (TP) network. Master function on the M-Bus network. Mounting in distribution board on EN 60715 rail (4 modular units, each 18 mm). To be used in KNX installations for home and building automation.
The device is available in four versions:
EK-BM1-TP-20 (max. 20 M-Bus devices)
EK-BM1-TP-40 (max. 40 M-Bus devices)
EK-BM1-TP-80 (max. 80 M-Bus devices)
EK-BM1-TP-160 (max. 160 M-Bus devices)
M-Bus communication port
M-Bus communication
Communication speed from 3000 to 38400 baud
Device addressing from 1 to 250
Reading and writing of single and multiple registers
Volatile support memory with M-Bus image buffer of 1440 bytes
KNX TP (twisted pair) 9600 baud communication port, electrically insulated from power supply
Volatile support memory with image KNX buffer of 1440 bytes
KNX device with gateway function (protocol conversion)
between a M-Bus network (Master function) and a KNX
TP network over a twisted pair communicaton cable.
Ideal application in integration of M-Bus devices over a
serial network in a KNX-based automation system for
homes and buildings.
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.
