MBus to PROFIBUS converters - easily read MBus meters with Profibus master

Industrial M-Bus to PROFIBUS converters

In this part of our store, you will find industrial M-Bus to PROFIBUS converters, designed for seamless integration of metering systems into PROFIBUS-based industrial automation environments. The M-Bus (Meter-Bus) standard is widely used in Europe for the remote reading of various types of consumption meters, including gas, water, electricity, and thermal energy. These converters allow you to read data from M-Bus-enabled devices and transmit it to a PROFIBUS master controller, such as a PLC or DCS system, providing full visibility of energy consumption within industrial or commercial facilities.

Integrating M-Bus with PROFIBUS using dedicated protocol converters ensures compatibility between two fundamentally different communication technologies. While M-Bus is a master/slave protocol designed for slow-speed data acquisition over long distances, PROFIBUS DP is a high-speed fieldbus commonly used for real-time control in automation. The converter translates data between both layers while maintaining communication reliability and system integrity.

Get to know our M-Bus to PROFIBUS converters better

Our M-Bus to PROFIBUS converters are robust industrial devices that feature DIN rail mounting, a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, and high immunity to electromagnetic interference. They are well suited for deployment in control cabinets, machinery environments, and outdoor electrical enclosures. The devices are powered with a flexible input range, typically from 12–35VDC or 24VAC, and provide reliable galvanic isolation between interfaces to protect connected systems from voltage spikes and ground loops.

Depending on the model, converters can support up to 250 M-Bus slaves (meters), and the number of supported devices may vary depending on the power budget and bus configuration. The devices are equipped with M-Bus screw terminals for direct connection to meters, as well as DB9 connectors for PROFIBUS integration. Some models also feature RS-232 or USB service ports to allow local configuration via PC software.

Configuration is intuitive and requires no additional licensing. Included software tools offer functionalities such as automatic M-Bus scanning, assignment of Modbus registers or PROFIBUS addresses, and generation of GSD files required by the PROFIBUS master system. The software also allows the application of formulas for converting raw values into user-friendly units, which simplifies integration with SCADA systems.

The converters support the PROFIBUS DP V0 protocol and provide automatic baud rate detection up to 12 Mbps, ensuring compatibility with the most common PLCs such as Siemens S7, ABB, and Beckhoff. Galvanic isolation of 2.5–3kV between M-Bus and PROFIBUS ensures stable operation even in noisy industrial environments.

These converters are ideal for use in smart building applications, industrial energy monitoring, utility meter management, and infrastructure systems. They are frequently deployed in projects involving large industrial plants, commercial buildings, heat distribution centers, and municipal infrastructure where real-time consumption data is needed for analytics, billing, or system optimization.

By choosing our M-Bus to PROFIBUS converters, you gain access to long-term support, proven reliability, and industrial-grade hardware backed by warranty and technical expertise. These devices are sourced from recognized European manufacturers, ensuring consistent performance and integration flexibility.
