IBOX-MBS-MBUS

M-Bus to Modbus Gateway.

The IntesisBox Gateway has been specially designed to allow bidirectional control and monitoring of all parameters and functionalities of M-Bus Meters from a Modbus BMS, SCADA, PLC or any other device working as a Modbus Master.

The aim of this integration is to make available signals and resources of meters connected to M-Bus, from a Modbus master device or system. For this IntesisBox Modbus Server - M-Bus gateway works, from the Modbus system point of view, acting as a Modbus slave device responding to data polls coming from the Modbus master, and from the M-Bus system point of view acting as an M-Bus master device polling data to the meters, and serving this data to the Modbus side.
