RS-485
M-Bus Master MultiPort 250D's RS-485 connection can be used for M-Bus communication on an equal basis with the
other serial connections.
The following communication speeds can be used for M-Bus communication:
• 300 baud 8E1
• 2400 baud 8E1
• 9600 baud 8E1
Maximum recommended cable length is 1,200 m.
The master's integrated port controller makes sure that communication is only possible on one serial port at a time.
