M-Bus level converter, compatible with RTU EVO datalogger. Available in two models for 60 and 250 M-Bus wired devices respectively. It can be used as a master or as a repeater to extend an existing network. Only available with external power supply.
The 1.ETRSEQ.0003 M-Bus level converter allows interfacing to a network of devices compliant with the M-Bus standard (EN 13757-2 Physical Layer) up to a maximum of 60 slaves. It is developed to be used in combination with 1.ETRSEQ.0101 to extend the MBUS network and connect additional devices, or as a traditional M-Bus repeater. Additionally, it can be used with a specific PC software for reading data on site.
It can be used as a master in an M-Bus network connected through the dedicated port to the data logger, or as a repeater in order to extend an existing M-Bus network with up to 60 additional devices. Its modularity allows the optimization of the reading system cost. In “master” mode the device allows data loggers (for example 1.ETRSEQ.0051) to communicate with the MBus devices connected to the M-Bus Master port. The data logger must be connected to the level converter via the dedicated port. In “repeater/slave” mode the device works as a signal amplifier/regenerator, thus allowing for the extension of an existing M-Bus network in terms of distance and total devices connected.

The M-Bus level converter 1.ETRSEQ.0006 allows interfacing to a network of M-Bus compliant devices (EN13757-2 Physical Layer) and supports up to 250 slaves*. It is developed to be used in combination with 1.ETRSEQ.0051 dataloggers. It can be used in standalone mode via RS232 / RS485 port or as an M-Bus repeater.
* Slave means an M-Bus load unit (≤ 1.5 mA)
It can be used as master in an M-Bus network of 250 devices connected on a single line. It can be connected:
The device has a 24V DC power output that can supply a 1.ETRSEQ.0051 datalogger.
