Overview
4. Overview
®
This Intesis gateway allows to integrate M-Bus devices into Modbus TCP systems easily.
The aim of this integration is to make M-Bus devices accessible from a Modbus control system or device to get
the same behavior as if the M-Bus device was part of the Modbus installation.
For this, the Intesis gateway acts as a Modbus TCP server device in its Modbus interface, allowing it to read/write
points from the Modbus client device(s). From the M-Bus point of view, the gateway acts as an M-Bus level
converter and Master device (EN-1434-3). The gateway performs the readings of the M-Bus slave device(s) by
automatic continuous polling, or on demand (to reduce battery consumption).
The gateway configuration is carried out through the Intesis MAPS configuration tool.

This document assumes that the user is familiar with Modbus and M-Bus technologies and their
technical terms.
4.1. Inside the Package
Items included:
• Intesis INMBSMEBxxx0100 Protocol Translator Gateway
• Installation guide
4.2. Gateway Main Features
• Embedded level converter. Direct connection to M-Bus devices with no extra hardware required.
• Scan function: detect M-Bus devices and their available registers automatically.
• Import/Export of M-Bus device templates.
• Baud rate configurable within the M-Bus allowed range (300 to 9600 bps. The devices are normally configured
at 2400 bps).
• Specific parameters and timeouts are available to maximize compatibility with any possible peculiarity
between different meter manufacturers.
• Availability of variables for communication errors, both at meter and general level, helping you to know if the
communication with one or more meters has failed.
• Flexible configuration using the Intesis MAPS configuration tool.
