M-Bus master. In addition to reading M-Bus devices automatically and independently, the memory variant can also monitor the data read out and react to alarm conditions. The meter data stored in the IZAR CENTER can also be cyclically uploaded to an FTP server. -
Page 5: Functions And Options
The collected data can also be automatically uploaded to an FTP server. The IZAR CENTER must be connected via the LAN interface or a special GPRS modem for this purpose. -

Page 7: Installation
The M-Bus input is only intended for an IZAR CENTER without memory. An M-Bus signal source (e.g. another IZAR CENTER or IZAR CENTER Memory) can be connected to this input. All signals at this input to the IZAR CENTER are passed direct to the M-Bus output at the same speed. -
Page 8: Usb
DHCP is activated by default. This means that the IZAR CENTER automatically attempts to get an IP address. In this case, it is not clear which IP address the IZAR CENTER has been assigned by the IT system. If you wish to find your device in the PC network, you can use the TCP/IP search in the IZAR@CENTER software. -
Page 9: Serial
2.5.1 RS232 – PC If the serial interface is set to “PC” mode, you can connect the IZAR CENTER direct to a PC. You do not need to install a driver on the PC. Interface speeds (baud rates) of 300…57600 bauds can be used for communication with the IZAR CENTER. -
Page 10: Configuration
3.1.1 Basic operation/architecture As already mentioned above, an IZAR CENTER without memory serves only as a level converter /repeater. The operation of this type is therefore relatively simple compared with the IZAR CENTER Memory. As an IZAR CENTER Memory is equipped with functions like automatic reading of M-Bus devices and parameter monitoring/alarm handling, it works with internal lists. -
Page 11: Installing The Izar@Center Software
Only the Device List is required for recording readings. All four lists are required if you wish to use all the alarm monitoring functions of the IZAR CENTER. If you only want to send an SMS or e-mail as alarm notification, the Action List is not necessary. - Page 12 Start the IZAR CENTER software. The main window appears after starting the software: Status Display Connection selector Program Views Settings Device list Switch between tree view and list view Fig. 3-2 IZAR CENTER software main window Fig. 3-1 shows the major elements of the main window.

The 8-digit number of the entry corresponds to the serial number of your IZAR CENTER. To enable you to connect a LAN, modem or serial interface to the IZAR CENTER, you must first define a new connection. This is done by pressing the button. - Page 14 3.1.4.4 TCP/IP (LAN) Proceed as follows to set up a new LAN connection: • Make sure your PC is in the same network (same subnet) as the IZAR CENTER. • Select the TCP/IP option. • Enter the desired connection name in the Name/Description field.

- Page 22 3.3.1.2 Manual device search If a device list is already created in the IZAR CENTER and, for example, only a new device is to be added, you can also search manually for an M-Bus device instead of the time- consuming automatic device search. For this purpose you only need the M-Bus secondary address or the primary address of the M-Bus device.
- Page 23 If you have already generated a device list and saved it as a file, you can also reload this list from the file, modify it as necessary and write it into the IZAR CENTER. It is also possible to load a HYDRO CENTER device list file and import this into the IZAR CENTER. This is unfortunately not possible in the other direction.

Page 26: Retrieving Data Collected
Access to the IZAR CENTER itself is independent of the service mode. This means that you can change the settings on the IZAR CENTER or read data from the memory at any time. Detailed description: If you have already written a device list into your IZAR CENTER, this is processed cyclically as desired. - Page 27 Proceed as follows: • Connect to the IZAR CENTER (as described in one of the options at 3.1.4) and read the status values of the IZAR CENTER. • Read the device list as described in 3.1.5 if desired. • Define how much data is to be read.

PC for this purpose). 3.4.2 Automatic uploading using FTP The IZAR CENTER can also upload its reading data cyclically to an FTP server. An .xml file is created for this purpose, which you can process with the HYDROMETER HYDRO- RADIO© software, for example. - Page 29 FTP server is initialized. Operation of automatic upload: In the first upload attempt the IZAR CENTER transfers all the stored data to the FTP server. Each additional upload only transfers the data to the server that has not yet been stored on the server, i.e.
-
Page 30: Alarm Monitoring
The upload interval defines the time intervals at which the uploads are to be carried out after saving the settings. Example: The internal clock of the IZAR CENTER shows the current time as 12:37 and you now save an FTP upload interval of 60 minutes. Subsequent uploads will now be carried out at 13:37, 14:37, etc. -
Page 31: Alarm Modes
M-Bus action: An alarm causes an M-Bus command to be sent to an M-Bus device. A condition for this alarm mode is that the device addressed can be reached over the M-Bus master output of the IZAR CENTER. 3.5.3 Alarm lists The configuration of alarms involves selecting the addressees and alarm texts as well as configuring the measured values. -

- Page 36 3.5.4.5 Configuration of alarms If you want the IZAR CENTER to monitor the values of a connected M-Bus device, make sure the following conditions are fulfilled: • The Service mode is activated. • A device list has been created and loaded from the IZAR CENTER into the IZAR@CENTER program.
- Page 37 3. Consumption value: Monitors accumulating meter consumption readings such as volume. As this type of monitoring is relatively time-consuming, only maximum 20 consumption values can be monitored with the IZAR CENTER. • Select if an alarm is to be initiated when the value is to be watched for above (Overflow) or below (Underflow) the reference value.
- Page 38 (the device icon has a red background): • Now write the device list into the IZAR CENTER and deactivate the Service mode. Alarm monitoring is now active. Note: How quickly the alarm actions are executed in the event of an alarm condition depends on the read interval you have set.

TCP/IP (LAN) interface If you use the LAN interface of the IZAR CENTER, you may wish to change the settings. Settings are certainly necessary if you use e-mail alarms and/or FTP upload over LAN. Note:... - Page 42 Enter the IP address of your standard gateway in the Gateway field (required for FTP upload/e-mail). • The Port field is for setting the TCP-IP port over which the IZAR CENTER is to be reachable for configuration/reading. This port also uses the IZAR@CENTER software for communicating with the IZAR CENTER.

Save your settings in the IZAR CENTER by pressing the button (Write parameter). If you have connected a GSM/GPRS modem to the IZAR CENTER and entered the Alarm Address List and Alarm Report List, you can also test sending an alarm SMS. This is advisable if you have taken a new system into operation or would like to carry out a fault diagnosis. -
