M-BUS Protocol
The M-Bus protocol enables OptiFlex Integrators to read data from M-Bus devices, such as water, gas, and energy meters—and bring it into the WebCTRL® building automation system. The WebCTRL system unifies all building systems into one cohesive platform, delivering centralized insights, streamlined management, and comprehensive reporting.
M-BUS Protocol
How It Works
- The OptiFlex Integrator acts as the M-Bus Master, communicating over a serial port (S1 and/or S2) to the M-Bus Level Converter.
- The M-Bus Level Converter converts EIA-485 signals to M-Bus signals and also supplies power to the downstream M-Bus meters.
- The OptiFlex Integrator supports up to 80 M-Bus devices (40 devices per serial port) and can manage up to 800 total M-Bus points (400 points per serial port).
