M-Bus pulse adapter for integrating meters with pulse output into metering systems – IM001G

IM001G – M-Bus pulse adapter for integrating meters with pulse output.

IM001G (PadPuls M1) is a compact M-Bus pulse adapter designed to integrate conventional meters equipped with pulse output (potential-free contact) into M-Bus-based reading systems. The device provides a simple and flexible way to connect existing electricity, water, gas, heat or oil meters to centralized monitoring and billing systems.

Key product features

• Integration of meters with pulse output into M-Bus systems
• Support for potential-free pulse contacts (reed contact)
• Powered directly via the M-Bus line
• Integrated backup battery for pulse counting
• Battery lifetime up to 7 years without M-Bus power
• Flexible pulse parameter configuration via software
• Protection against unauthorized configuration changes
• Wall-mounted enclosure

Functionality and operating principle

IM001G counts pulses generated by the connected meter and converts them into data that can be read via the M-Bus system. The accumulated values can be retrieved at any time by an M-Bus master or data logger. Communication complies with EN 1434-3 and the device automatically detects the M-Bus baud rate.

Flexible meter configuration

Using dedicated configuration software, the adapter can be set up for the specific application, including the medium type (e.g. water, energy, gas), pulse value, measurement unit and initial meter reading. This allows precise adaptation to the characteristics of the connected pulse meter.

Data security and operational reliability

IM001G features a configuration protection mechanism that prevents parameter changes after commissioning without physically opening the sealed enclosure. The integrated battery ensures continuous pulse counting even during extended M-Bus power outages.

Mounting and applications

The device is housed in a wall-mount enclosure and is designed for use in building and industrial installations. IM001G is particularly well suited for retrofitting existing metering systems where older pulse-output meters need to be integrated into modern M-Bus infrastructures without replacing the meters themselves.

IM001G is a reliable M-Bus pulse adapter that enables fast and secure integration of pulse-output meters into M-Bus systems. With flexible configuration, M-Bus-powered operation and long battery lifetime, it is an ideal solution for modernizing and expanding metering installations.
