2.1 Installation of the iSMA M-Bus Kit To install the M-Bus kit, import the kit to the iSMA Tool software (possibly as part of the package of the various kits in a zip file). To do this, use an application from the Sedona ->...
The M-Bus is a hierarchical system, with communication controlled by a master (for example the iSMA-B-AAC20-M). The M-Bus consists of the master, a number of slaves (end- equipment meters), and a two-wire connecting cable. The slaves are connected in parallel to the transmission medium - the connecting cable.
4 M-Bus Kit Components The M-Bus kit contains two types of device components based on communication interface: • Local Device: for devices connected directly to the iSMA-B-AAC20-M (this connection requires a special hardware version equipment with the M-Bus interface). This type of...
5 M-Bus Local Network Component This component is responsible for servicing the M-Bus devices connected directly to the iSMA-B-AAC20-M M-Bus interface. The max. number of devices connected to the iSMA-B- AAC20 is 20, and it is a hardware limitation (a built-in M-Bus power supply).
User manual iSMA-B-AAC20/M-Bus Network Search Secondary Address: Discovers devices connected to the M-Bus Local interface • by the Secondary Address. This address contains the device’s serial number assigned by factory. This action is recommended for the first bus commissioning; Read Network: Forces devices data read;...

User manual iSMA-B-AAC20/M-Bus Network Figure 5 M-Bus IP Network property sheet view This component has the following actions: Search Primary Address: Discovers devices connected to the M-Bus Local interface by the Primary Address. The user can also enter the searching range in action pop-up window by doing a simple calculation: Range Number = Start Address * 256 + End Address, for example, to search a range from 10 to 20 the user must enter 2580 (10*256 + 20=2580).
The M-Bus IP Device is a component for servicing the M-Bus devices connected to the M- Bus IP gateway. All types of the iSMA-B-AAC20 devices can use this type of communication. There are two ways to add the M-Bus IP Device to the application: •...

Palette for the User’s use. The device points are added automatically during the points discovery process. In the discovery process response message is decoded, and based on this information the iSMA-B-AAC20 creates corresponding points components. The iSMA_Mbus kit uses two types of components: •...
