  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction AMBUS® Net is an integrated extension of AMBUS ZS and enables intelligent M-Bus central units to be ® configured, operated and monitored by M-Bus plants as complete systems with state-of-the-art technology and customer-friendly operation. The ¼ VGA touch screen display ensures easy-to-handle on-site operation without the need of a PC. Because it contains a Web server, the instrument can also be remotely operated via either a direct telephone link (analog, ISDN or GSM) or an Intranet/Internet network.

  • Page 4: Components

    Components 2.1 Housing and power supply ® AMBUS Net is protected by a rugged, red-lacquered aluminium pressure die-cast housing for wall or control cabinet mounting. The power supply is a 230 VAC mains voltage. For information on installation refer to the installation instructions AMBUS ®...

    2.5 Memory board and serial flash CF card ® AMBUS Net with the "data logger" option can record plant and meter data at period- ical intervals. This requires e CF card being used as a removable data carrier be- tween the AMBUS Net and a PC.

  • Page 7: Communication And Security

    Communication and security Four versions of the AMBUS Net are available: AMBUS® Net LCD120 and AMBUS® Net LCD250 have a ® touch screen and are therefore to be used when a local display and on-site operation are required. The gateway versions AMBUS® Net 120 and AMBUS® Net 250 do not have touch screens and are therefore to be installed in plants where remote readout and operation are required and where a more rapid network connection is available.
