WebPages. 1.2 Function overview The PiiGAB 810 gateway is working like an interface between Ethernet and the M- Bus wire. The gateway is transparent, which means that the questions asked through the Ethernet are being forwarded onto the electrical M-Bus interface. The same applies to the answers from the meters that are being sent over the Ethernet to the superior system.

2.4 Supply voltage The gateway should be supplied from a local 24 AC/DC transformer. If using a central 24 DC power supply you should mount a DC/DC converter between the gateway and the central power. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...

T E C H N O L O G Y Chapter Get started step by step This chapter covers the different steps needed to put the M-Bus 810 gateway into operation. 3.1 Necessary information The connecting of the supply voltage and the M-Bus loop is made according to table 2.1.
4. Choose “Change Device Parameters” from the main menu and click through to the site where you make your choice. At PiiGAB we recommend usage of UDP if this is supported by the superior software. The reason for this is that the M-Bus driver has complete control over how the questions and answers are being sent.
NrOfTelegrams, InitRead etc. The document “Citect for Windows, Version 5.xx, 6.xx M-Bus driver, User Information” (Version: 1.01.03.001-1) is available to download at the PiiGAB website. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...
Setup files or go via the control panel. After the program has been installed you can start it by choosing the program in the start menu. If the installation has been made with the base settings the program can be found under the PiiGAB folder.
If 810 is connected to the network choose the option on top and with a serial connection pick the lower. In this part we are assuming that the gateway is connected to the network. On the side of the gateway there is a label with the PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...

“Ping”. If the earlier steps in the Wizard are made correctly, the chosen IP address will show up on this page. Figure 4-9. Ping device If you make contact by using the Ping command the above communication result will show. Push “Next” to continue. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...
2.8.1. Follow the Wizard instructions to configure via the serial-port. The difference from configure via the network is that you have to turn the voltage off and on to get to the installations. Figure 4-11. Change device parameters PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...

When the network has been built out you can connect it to the network port on the gateway instead. You can also use the gateway as a pure serial to the M-Bus converter of course. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...
All traffic being send or received on the M-Bus port are mirrored to the serial port. This means that different types of programs can be connected for monitoring. To be able to both write and read you need two communication ports on your computer. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...

By monitoring and/or logging the traffic a verification of the done readings can be made. Below is shown how the traffic can look like with a Serial analyzer Figure 6-1 Example of serial analyzer from Fifo electronics PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...
When the M-Bus protocol is used the Port Settings 8, even, 1 should be made. See below. Figure 7-1. Port Properties This document can be found at the CD delivered together with the gateway. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...

Windows communication ports. These virtual communication ports are redirected over a network to the M-Bus port of a PiiGAB 810 Gateway. The communication with the gateway is done in pretty much the same way as when ”pure” TCP/IP is used. The main difference is that the software sees the gateway as a normal communication port.
To address latency, Com Port Redirector provides a No Net Close option in the Port Settings dialog box. This option keeps the TCP/IP connection open when the com port is closed, reducing latency. PiiGAB Process Information i Göteborg AB...
