Data from connected M-bus meters is transferred to OPC server-based applications. The M-bus OPC server establishes the connection between M-bus devices and OPC clients.
Features
On the M-bus side, primary and secondary addressing is supported.
The baud rate for communication with M-bus devices can be configured or detected automatically.
The built-in value monitor makes it possible to check current values online.
An import / export interface enables project planning and data exchange using text files.
Configurations are stored in binary files and can be loaded automatically when the software is started.
The program is configurable via the default DCOM settings. Access and user rights are implemented via the standard Windows mechanisms.
Distributed usage on the network (i.e. OPC client and M-bus OPC servers run on different computers) is ensured with support for DCOM functionality.
The number of possible OPC clients is limited only by the capacity of the machine.
Free updates are available for registered users on the homepage of MBS GmbH.
For connection to M-bus networks, a level converter RS232/M-bus is optionally available
