In Northern and Central European installations there are many devices that log consumption, equipped with M-BUS communications protocols or interfaces. These equipments measure
cold and hot water consumption, as well steam, gas, electricity, etc. Said equipments deliver characteristic parameters of the systems they control, such as, water temperature, volume,
flow, pressure or electrical energy consumption, as well as the more basic parameters of an electrical network.
The M-BUS (BUS-Meter) protocol is a communications system for reading energy meters that has been designed to auto-mate data collection by remote control or computer programs.
The PowerStudio platform is a system used to gather, analyse and exploit the data from these CIRCUTOR equipment.
The Deluxe version enables compiling data from equipments of other manufacturers, they are equipped with MODBUS protocol. In this case, a direct integration of equipment using
M-BUS with PowerStudio is not compatible.
There is a simple solution on the market for implementing and adapting M-BUS signals to MODBUS level, so that M-BUS equipment can be integrated into PowerStudio platform.
