Protoconvert recommends the FieldServer gateway for your MBus protocol conversion requirements. We configure and sell FieldServer gateways. We will help you find the right solution for your requirement and support you with the configuration and commissioning.
This gateway can read MBus data from your MBus devices and publish it as BACnet IP data.
It can also write to the MBus devices.
This gateway can also do the reverse, read BACnet IP data and publish it as MBus data.
It can also write to the BACnet IP devices.
In summary, this gateway can act as:
Client/Master on the MBus network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various MBus slave devices and writing data to them if required.
Server/Slave on the MBus network: You can use the gateway in this mode if you have MBus master on the network which would be reading data from the gateway.
Client/Master on the BACnet IP network: Hence it is capable of reading data from the various BACnet IP devices and writing data to them if required.
Server/Slave on the BACnet IP network: The gateway can be configured to be a server of data values, hence another BACnet IP client can read data from the gateway and write data into the gateway.

How to configure the FieldServer gateway?
-We will configure the gateway for you based on your requirement and support you during commissioning of the gateway, so you do not have to worry about configuring the FieldServer gateway.
-However, it is very helpful to know how to configure the devices. All the required tools and supporting product manuals with be provided completely free of cost with your purchase.
-Configuration of the FieldServer is done using a '.csv' file. This file can be edited using any text editor (example Microsoft excel).
-In this file we need to enter information for the Client and Server side interfaces of the FieldServer. This includes but is not limited to:
Node ids of the slave devices
IP addresses/device address of the slave devices
Baud rate, parity, stop bits for serial communication
Scan rates
- And finally we need to create an internal mapping that would map each data value read on the client side to a data value on the server side.
-For detailed information on configuration please get in touch with us and review the configuration manual on top of this page
