M-Bus interface. In addition to metering, the device also supports alarming through e-mail or SNMP traps whenever allowed values are exceeded. HWg-PWR is designed for remote reading of values from meters equipped with the M-Bus interface. Each meter can provide multiple variables, depending on the meter type and model.
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Basic HWg-PWR features Ethernet: RJ45 (10BASE-T) WEB: Embedded WEB server / GUI Works with up to three M-BUS meters (electricity, gas, …) Unlimited number of measured variables* Instantaneous power input Total consumption...
Link (amber) – flashing indicates activity on the Ethernet interface. Restoring factory defaults Press and hold the Default Switch button, connect power, and hold the button pressed for 10 more seconds. HWg-PWR resets itself to factory defaults. Be careful when working with HWg-PWR in a distribution box. www.HW-group.com...
+ LINK (red) flashes whenever communication takes place over the Ethernet interface + Status (red) HWg-PWR status: Solid on – HWg-PWR is in regular operation Slowly flashing – HWg-PWR is starting up Rapidly flashing – firmware is being uploaded + Alarm (red)
HW group First steps 1) Connecting the cables HWg-PWR connects directly to a 230VAC supply; therefore, it should be installed by qualified personnel only! Connect the unit to the Ethernet (a patch cable to a switch, or a cross-over cable to a PC).
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Restoring factory defaults Right-click a device MAC address. Within 60 seconds after powering up the unit, factory defaults can be restored using UDP Config. Disconnect the power jack, connect the jumper near the RJ11 sockets, power up the device and wait for 15 seconds.
HW group Adding connected meters and measured values Start the WWW interface of HWg-PWR and go to the Device menu. The list of detected meters is empty. Individual meters are always added to HWg-PWR manually. A tool for automatic discovery of meter addresses is also available in the Mbus Scan submenu (only finds meter addresses, does not add them to the system): www.HW-group.com...
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Automatic discovery of meters: 1. At the Device Base Parameters page, fill in the M-Bus Scan section: Address – Range of M-Bus addresses where the meters can be discovered. The default is 0-252; however, a smaller range can speed up the discovery process significantly.
Page 13
5. Write down the addresses of discovered devices and return to the Device page. Note: If HWg-PWR does not find any connected meters, re-check the M-Bus connection (in particular its polarity) and the baudrate and parity configuration, or try to look up these values in the documentation of your meter.
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Adding discovered meters to HWg-PWR 1. In the Device menu, select the desired meter. The Edit xMeter section displays. 2. In the Address M-Bus field, fill in the address discovered by scan or written on the meter or in the meter documentation.

HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group 7. A list of values provided by the meter is displayed. Individual values can be turned on (Enable) and off (Disable): 8. Click Save to save your changes. Important: In order to find meter variables, the meter must be enabled and saved. It is not possible to scan values without saving the meter configuration first! Repeat steps 1 to 3 to add all required meters.
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group WWW interface Home tab The Home tab displays current readouts of all enabled values of a meter, together with status symbols. The value is within its allowed range (Saferange) The value is out of its allowed range (Saferange) M-Bus communication error –...
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Graph tab The Graph tab lets you plot a graph of the measured values. To plot a graph, you need to specify: Source Value – List of all variables with enabled logging in the Meter-name.value format.
Base section Device Name – Custom name of the HWg-PWR device in order to distinguish multiple HWg-PWR units in a network. The device name can be up to 16 characters long. WWW Info Text – Custom text in the WWW interface footer. Useful for contact information about the operator of that particular HWg-PWR, if the device is accessible on a public IP.
Page 19
HTTP Port – Port number where the built-in WWW server listens. Changing the port number is useful in situations where multiple HWg-PWR units need to be accessible from an external network through a router. Ask your network administrator if or whether you need to change this value. The default port is 80.
SNMP port – Port number for SNMP communication. The default is 161. SNMP Access section Community – Name of the SNMP community for accessing HWg-PWR over SNMP. Two communities can be defined. Each Community can have the following permissions defined:...
Password – Password for authentication to the SMTP server. If the Authentication box is not checked, this field is irrelevant. FROM – E-mail address of the sender, that is, the HWg-PWR unit. The address may be necessary for the SMTP server and it can be used to identify the HWg- PWR unit, or for filtering and further processing of alarm messages.
SNTP Server – IP address or host name of the time synchronization server. Default is time.nist.gov. Time Zone – Timezone where HWg-PWR is located. Used to set correct system time. Necessary for correct logging of measured values. Summertime – Enables daylight savings time. Used to set correct system time.
The Device List section lists all connected meters together with their type (Medium) and address (Address) on the M-Bus. To edit a meter, click “Edit” on the corresponding line. Each meter is assigned a unique ID within HWG-PWR for use in XML and SNMP communication.

HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group Edit y.Value on x.Meter section Name – Value name. Identifies the value (variable). Unit – Physical unit of measurement. Identifies the unit of the value being measured. Together with its exponent, it can be used to convert the value to a custom format and unit (W/kW, kWh/MWh, dm /l and so on).
HWg-PWR: M-Bus IP energy meter (SNMP, WEB) HW group into the SafeRange. That is, alarm always starts when SafeRange Hi or SafeRange Lo is crossed but only ends when the threshold plus (or minus) Saferange Hyst is reached. E-Mail if Change State – Specifies whether an e-mail should be sent whenever an Alarm begins or ends.
HW group System tab The System tab is used to access the most important system information, such as uptime or firmware version, and to perform operations such as HWg-PWR restart or firmware update. Download section Backup configuration – Click to save the current HWg-PWR configuration. Saved configuration can be later restored.
