M-Bus Wireless to PROFINET Converters – industrial integration for smart metering

Industrial M-Bus Wireless to PROFINET Converters

In this section of our store you will find M-Bus Wireless to PROFINET converters. The M-Bus Wireless standard is widely used for wireless reading of consumption meters such as water meters, gas meters, heat meters and electricity meters. By converting M-Bus Wireless into PROFINET, these devices allow seamless integration of meters into industrial automation systems, SCADA platforms and BMS (Building Management Systems). This ensures central monitoring, improved data management and efficient energy consumption analysis across industrial facilities, smart buildings and utility networks.

Designed by ADFweb, these converters guarantee reliable performance in industrial environments. All models are suitable for DIN rail mounting (35 mm), making installation in control cabinets straightforward. They are built to operate within a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring stability in both climate-controlled server rooms and outdoor installations. Each device is equipped with strong EMC immunity, allowing it to function even in environments with significant electromagnetic noise.

Depending on the project scale, you can select devices supporting up to 40, 80, 160 or even 250 wired M-Bus slaves, as well as up to 32 Wireless M-Bus devices simultaneously. This flexibility allows the solutions to be tailored to both small residential installations and large smart city projects. The HD67090-B2 series has become a proven choice for waterworks, district heating providers and energy distribution companies, enabling accurate consumption monitoring and seamless integration with Siemens PLCs and other PROFINET-based controllers.

The converters support wMBus communication modes S1, T1, N1 and N2, ensuring compatibility with meters from leading manufacturers such as Engelmann, Siemens, Maddalena and Amber-Wireless. Frequency options include 169 MHz, 433 MHz and 868 MHz, allowing integrators to select the most suitable variant for the local regulatory environment and the specific installation conditions. For example, 169 MHz offers extended range, while 868 MHz provides higher data throughput, making the portfolio versatile for different projects.

On the hardware side, each model includes an Ethernet RJ45 port for PROFINET, an SMA female connector for Wireless M-Bus antennas, and a terminal block for wired M-Bus. This interface combination enables hybrid installations where both wired and wireless meters coexist within the same network. Data rates reach up to 38400 bit/s for M-Bus and 10/100 Base-T autosensing for PROFINET, providing efficient communication even in large deployments.

A key advantage of the M-Bus Wireless to PROFINET series is the SCAN&DECODE functionality. This feature automatically scans the M-Bus network and decodes all registers contained in the telegrams, removing the need for manual frame analysis or vendor-specific consultation. In practice, this means significant time savings during commissioning and a much more user-friendly installation process. Integrators benefit from fast system setup and reliable operation without in-depth protocol expertise.

Power is supplied at 15~21 VAC or 18~35 VDC, with a maximum startup consumption of 30W. Compact housing dimensions of 71 x 60 x 95 mm and a weight of only 200 g make the units easy to install. The housing type B enclosure ensures durability and long service life. Each device is shipped with free configuration software SW67090 and comes with a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty. This guarantees both short-term reliability and long-term support for professional projects.

In summary, M-Bus Wireless to PROFINET converters represent a comprehensive solution for integrating wireless and wired metering systems into modern industrial networks. Whether for energy management in smart buildings, remote utility metering in urban areas, or data integration into SCADA/PLC systems, these converters provide robust communication, quick setup, and compliance with industry standards. They are a future-proof investment for integrators seeking flexibility and reliability in demanding projects.
