M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D

1 Introduction

M-Bus is  bus system, which is specilly suited for reding wter, het, cooling, gs nd electricity consumption

meters.

An M-Bus system consists of n M-Bus Mster nd  number of meters with M-Bus interfce. A network cn include

different meter types nd brnds. The cble type used is typiclly twisted pir copper.

The connected meters re red either directly by the mster with dt ppering on the mster’s disply or by  reding

progrm which is connected to one of the mster’s communiction ports.

The mster powers the M-Bus slve modules in the meters. Bttery supplied meters thereby chieve  longer bttery

lifetime.

The mximum size of n M-Bus network using Kmstrup M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D is 250 meters. If  number of

msters re conﬁgured s repeters nd coupled in cscde nd only secondry ddressing is used,  totl of 1,250

meters cn be connected, nd the totl cble length cn be up to pprox. 14 km.

If primry ddressing is used, up to 250 meters cn be connected.

Communiction in the M-Bus network is synchronous seril bit trnsmission in hlf duplex, which mens tht it is only

possible to communicte in one direction t  time.

Communiction speed cn be 300, 2400 or 9600 bud.

It is not necessry to connect  PC to the mster during instlltion, mintennce nd troubleshooting in the M-Bus

network s the mster itself includes the functions needed. Opertion is crried out vi disply nd front keys.

M-Bus is stndrdized ccording to EN 13757-2 nd EN 13757-3.

1.1 Design

M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D is built into  solid cbinet, which complies with protection clss IP 67.

The front consists of  bcklit LCD, 6 keys, 4 sttus LEDs nd n opticl eye.

The power supply is  switch mode type which enbles you to connect the mster to  power supply between 100 nd

240 volts. The frequency must be 50-60 Hz.

M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D

2 Functionlity

Kmstrup M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D is n M-Bus mster designed for the connection of up to 250 meters with

M-Bus interfce. The cble length of  mster cn be up to 2800 m depending on cble type.

The mster supports primry, secondry nd enhnced secondry ddressing. Enhnced secondry ddressing is

supported when the mster is used s level converter, not when reding vi the disply.

All inputs re glvniclly seprted from the M-Bus network.

When designing the mster, it hs been considered importnt tht instlltion nd nlysis work cn be effected

directly from the mster without hving to connect  PC with dedicted softwre.

Conﬁgured s  mster, MultiPort 250D is operted vi its disply nd the six front keys.

The disply hs been designed with  user-friendly menu structure, which mkes it simple to perform scnning,

reding nd nlysis of the M-Bus network. Furthermore, the disply currently provides informtion on network sttus

such s current communiction nd number of connected meters (Unit Lods).

Conﬁgured s  level converter, one or severl of the integrted communiction ports re connected to  reding

system,  control unit or similr. Communiction is controlled from the connected units.

MultiPort 250D cn be ccessed from ll vilble communiction ports. The integrl port controller prevents collision

in cse of simultneous communiction through more thn one port.

When the port controller detects communiction on one port, communiction on other ports becomes impossible.

When communiction on one port is ﬁnished, ll ports re open to communiction.

The repeter function mkes it possible to extend the size of the M-Bus network both s to number of meters nd totl

cble length. If one mster nd four repeters re instlled in  network, the totl cble length cn be extended to

pprox. 14 km, nd up to 1250 meters cn be connected.

3.8 M-Bus Repeter Input

Kmstrup M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D cn be used s

both mster nd repeter.

Used s mster, up to 250 meters cn be connected in

n M-Bus system.

The repeter function mkes it possible to extend the

size of the M-Bus network both s to number of meters

nd totl cble length. If one mster nd four repeters

re instlled in  network, the totl cble length cn be

extended to pprox. 14 km, nd up to 1250 meters cn be

connected.

The mster is conﬁgured s repeter by plcing the

jumper on the connector mrked Repeter. Using n

M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D s  repeter, the M-Bus

network in front of the repeter is connected to ”M-Bus

Repeter In” on terminls 53 nd 54. The following meters

re connected to M-Bus Out on terminls 24 nd 25.

Note: The power supply MUST be switched off during reconﬁgurtion

between mster nd repeter.

4 Cbling

Typiclly unshielded twisted pir cble up to pprox. 1.5 mm2 is used. The cbling topology is typiclly str or bus or 

combintion of both. The connection in M-Bus is independent of polrity nd no termintion resistnce t the end of

the cbling is needed.

If  cble type with shield is used, it is importnt tht the two M-Bus conductors re not connected to ground or shield.

No precise indiction s to mximum cble length in n M-Bus network cn be given s it depends on vrious

prmeters.

The two most importnt prmeters to consider when selecting cble for n M-Bus instlltion re cble resistnce

nd cble cpcity. Generlly speking, the resistnce limits the number of M-Bus slves, nd the cpcity limits the

communiction speed.

Furthermore, we recommend keeping  certin distnce between M-Bus cbles nd other cbles in order to minimize

noise from high-power electric mchinery.

4.1 Specil fetures of M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D

M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D hs been designed with the newest cble driver technology, nd is, therefore, rther

insensitive to the cpcity of the M-Bus network.

Thus, designing n M-Bus network to be used together with M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D, the limiting fctor s to

possible cble length will primrily be the cble resistnce in the network.

4.2 Electricl conditions in n M-Bus network

According to EN 13757-2, the mximum output voltge from n M-Bus Mster must not exceed 42 V. The output voltge

from M-Bus Mster MultiPort 250D is 41 V.

• If the voltge mesured over terminls 24-25 is 24 V or more t the most distnt meter, there is  high degree of

certinty tht ll meters cn be red.

• If the voltge is between 20 nd 24 V, it will probbly be possible to red ll meters.

• If the voltge is between 18 nd 20 V, the meter my be red.

• If the voltge is below 18 V, it is most likely tht the meter cnnot be red.

There must be no communiction on the M-Bus network when the bove mesurement is mde.

4.2.1 M-Bus modules

Ech M-Bus module lods the M-Bus network too. According to the stndrd, n M-Bus module should lod the

network with 1 unit lod (UL) corresponding to 1.5 mA. Some modules, however, lod with up to 4 UL.

Cpcitively the lod of n M-Bus module is 0.5 – 1 nF.

The number of connected M-Bus slves is shown on the disply of M-Bus Mster 250D. Plese note tht it is not

possible to show the exct number of connected slves. This is due to tolernces in the slves.

4.3 Instlltion prmeters

The following prmeters re essentil to the possible cble length of n M-Bus network.

The cble resistnce nd cpcity must be s low s possible. The thicker the cble, the lower the resistnce. The

thicker the cble, the higher the cpcity.

An M-Bus cble must s  minimum be ble to hndle 50 V nd 500 mA.

In big networks using secondry ddressing, worst cse

lod must be considered s 250 slves of 1 UL (Unit Lod)

ech drwing 5.4 A, which thin cbles will not be ble to

withstnd.

Plese note tht resistnce cn be stted in two different

wys in cble speciﬁctions, i.e. s cble resistnce or s

loop resistnce.

Loop resistnce is the totl resistnce mesured through

the two conductors. Cble resistnce is the resistnce

through one conductor. Therefore, loop resistnce is

lwys twice the cble resistnce.

4.3.2 Cble topology

An M-Bus network normlly uses bus or str topology or  combintion of both.

The dvntge of bus topology is shorter wires. The disdvntge is tht  cble interrupt will men tht ll the

following meters cn no longer be red.

The dvntge of str topology is the fct tht ll the other meters cn still be red fter  cble interrupt. The

disdvntge is  lrge consumption of cble with  high leding lod, which reduces the mximum cble length nd

mkes  reduction of communiction speed necessry, respectively.

Bus topology offers two solutions. One solution is to loop the cble through ech meter. This solution presupposes tht

there is room for two cbles nd tht the connection terminls re prepred for the connection of two sets of cbles. All

connections re thereby typiclly mde inside the meter.

The other solution is to use bus topology with ech individul meter connected to the bus. With this solution,  number

of connections must be estblished on the bus itself.
