  • Page 14: M-Bus Repeater Input

    3.7 M-Bus Repeater Input Kamstrup M-Bus Master MultiPort 250L can be used as both master and repeater. Used as master, up to 250 meters can be connected in an M-Bus system. The Repeater function makes it possible to extend the size of the M-Bus network both as to number of meters and total cable length.
  • Page 15: Cabling 15

    M-Bus Master MultiPort 250L has been designed with the newest cable driver technology, and is, therefore, rather insensitive to the capacity of the M-Bus network. Thus, designing an M-Bus network to be used together with M-Bus Master MultiPort 250L the limiting factor as to possible cable length will primarily be the cable resistance in the network.
  • Page 16: M-Bus Modules

    4.2.1 M-Bus modules Each M-Bus module loads the M-Bus network too. According to the standard, an M-Bus module should load the network with 1 unit load (UL) corresponding to 1.5 mA. Some modules, however, load with up to 4 UL. Capacitively the load of an M-Bus module is 0.5 –...
  • Page 17: Cable Topology

    In big networks using secondary addressing worst case load must be considered as 250 slaves of 1 UL (Unit Load) each can draw 5.4 A, which thin cables will not be able to withstand. Please note that resistance can be stated in two different ways in cable specifications; i.e. as cable resistance or as loop resistance.

  • Page 21: M-Bus Addressing

    5.2 Secondary addressing (00000001-99999999) Secondary addressing uses the last 8 digits of the meter number as M-Bus ID. Kamstrup MULTICAL® meters use the customer number as their secondary address, which makes it possible to change the secondary address. 5.3 Enhanced secondary addressing (00000001-99999999)/(00000001-99999999) The meter’s serial number is used for enhanced secondary addressing.
  • Page 22: Transparent Reading

    6.2 Transparent reading MultiPort 250L is equipped with the following communication possibilities for reading from e.g. remote reading systems, control systems and various controllers with M-Bus interface: • • RS-232 • RS-485 • GSM/GPRS (optional equipment) Communication through the above-mentioned ports is transparent and includes collision detection. 6.3 Light Emitting Diodes The master has four light emitting diodes on its front plate.

    Red light emitting diode which flashes when the load on the M-Bus network is between 375 and 500 mA. It is permanently lit when the load on the M-Bus network exceeds 500 mA. 375 mA corresponds to 250UL (M-Bus Unit Loads). At 500 mA M-Bus Master MultiPort 250L disconnects due to overload or short circuit condition. 55121391_B1_GB_12.2013...
