		| RS232toMBus-5M, Base lineEthernet to M-Bus communication converter |  |  
		
		
		
		 
		|   | Application
			Remote data retrieval from M-Bus devices via the RS232 serial communication line in building automation. The most frequently used M-Bus slave devices are heat, water and electricity consumption meters.
			 Description
				The RS232toMBus-5M converter provides a RS232 to M-Bus interface conversion. There is no change in the content of the messages or communication speed during the conversion. The maximum possible number of M-Bus slave devices that can be connected is five.
			 Main characteristics
				M-Bus port
				 
				Connection of 1 to 5 M-Bus slave devices.Surge protection guaranteeing superior durability against overvoltage.Current protection against overload and short circuit on the communication linewith LED status indication.
 
				Power supply
				 
				Wide range of power supply voltages. DC 7.5 - 40V a AC 7.5 - 28V.Overvoltage protection.LED power supply indication. 
				RS232
				 
				Signals: TxD, RxD and GND.Protections against overvoltage. 
				Mechanical construction
				 
				Plastic box with mounting on 35 mm DIN rail.Narrow box. 17.5mm mounting width on the DIN rail.Differences from the RS232toMBus-5 converter
				
				Very small mounting width on the DIN rail.Less powerful overvoltage protection on the M-Bus line.Less powerful M-Bus line driver. The maximum length of the M-Bus line is in the range of hundreds of meters.Smaller operating temperature range. Guarantee of quality
				
				Each converter passes through several functional electrical tests during the production.
				Additionally a communication test is performed after final assembly.
EMC certification for habitable environments by an accredited laboratory .Solid design and construction based on many years practical experience. |
