    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)

Software PG5 2.3 M-Bus driver for Saia Energy Meter ALD/ALE/AWD with M-Bus

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

FBoxes for PG5 2.0 can be found here

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.

The requested software / document is no longer marketed by Saia-Burgess Controls AG and without technical support. It is an older software version which can be operated only on certain now no longer commercially available products.
