TwinCAT PLC M-Bus
The M-Bus (metering bus) is a fieldbus for logging consumption or measurement data (e.g. in water meters, electricity meters, gas meters, heat/cold meters etc.). The M-Bus is a European standard and is described in EN 1434. There are over 70 PLC blocks available in the TwinCAT PLC M-Bus which can communicate with devices from companies such as Berg, GWF, Landis+Gyr, Relay, NZR, ABB and many others. The M-Bus master (TwinCAT PLC with level converter) controls the communication on the bus by requesting data from the slaves (measuring devices). The M-Bus level converter is connected with the TwinCAT controller by RS232 or RS485.
