M-Bus on Saia PCD®
PCD2.F27x0 and PCD3.F27x
-
Introduction
A PCD1.M2, PCD2.M5 or PCD3 can act as M-Bus Master using the according connection interface module PCD3.F27x or PCD2.F27x0.
Module overview
There exist 4 different M-Bus module types to be plugged into PCD I/O slot 0..3. The difference between the types is the amount of M-Bus slaves which can be connected per module (on the two ports) | ||
Modules for the PCD1.M2 and PCD2.M5 | ||
PCD2.F2700 PCD2.F2710 PCD2.F2720 PCD2.F2730 | 240 slaves | |
Modules for PCD3.Mxxx0 and PCD3.T666 | ||
PCD3.F270 PCD3.F271 PCD3.F272 PCD3.F273 | 240 slaves 20 slaves 60 slaves 120 slaves |

Do NOT install this library if you already have the M-Bus library from Engiby installed, update the lib from Engiby instead.

In case you use the M-Bus FBox library from Engiby: do not install the SBC M-Bus library in parallel but upgrade the M-Bus library from Engiby (which also supports the SBC M-Bus Energy meters).
Minimal FBox library for using the PCD3/7.F27x is the "M-Bus or the M-Bus library from the company Engiby 2.6.104.
The "M-Bus SBC" FBox library can be used for the M-Bus Energy Meters from SBC only, the library from Engiby supports various other M-Bus slaves.

Good to know
There is an example of a PG5 project for M-Bus communication available in the Getting Started area. |
Minimal PCD firmware is 1.16.52 and can be downloaded here (4.2 MB). |
For older PCD systems (such as the PCD2.M170 or the PCD1.M1x5) a pure FBox solution (using a gateway) from the company Engiby exists. |
If the M-Bus implementation is written in IL using the "character mode" the modules F270(0) are to be used; other modules (e.g. PCD2.F2710) do not support the character mode. |
