Introduction

This document describes the use of Kamstrup’s
M-Bus system.

M-Bus is used for electronic reading of district heat
meters.

As the data route from meter to accounting
program is electronic, the data is secured against
errors. It is easy and simple to equip Kamstrup
energy meters with an M-Bus Slave, which is
inserted at the modular space in the energy meter.
It is unnecessary to program the integrating energy
meter or the M-Bus Slave as the system is self­configuring.

2. M-Bus System

M-Bus system components

The M-Bus system consists of the following
elements:

M-Bus Slave

■

M-Bus Master

■

M-Bus Cascade module

■

M-Bus Modem

■

Communication software PcM-Bus

■

Communication software PcModem

■

Communication software PcLink

■

IR head for reading

■

■

Data cabel for reading

The M-Bus Master is built-up as a repeater, which
converts signals from e.g. RS232 to M-Bus format
(18-30 V/0-20 mA). The M-Bus Master has been
constructed to function together with Kamstrup’s
M-Bus Slaves and Kamstrup’s reading software.

The M-Bus Master can supply up to 40 M-Bus
Slaves at the power consumption of 1.5 mA

(1 Unit Load) per M-Bus Slave.

One or more M-Bus Cascade modules can be instal­led, and can comprise up to 250 M-Bus Slaves.

Communication

The communication on the M-Bus consists of
vol-tage modulation from M-Bus Master to M-Bus
Slave (30 – 18 V) as well as current modulation
from M-Bus Slave to M-Bus Master (0 – 20 mA)
through an ordinary two-wire cable.

The M-Bus system has been constructed to observe
the regulations of the EN 1434-3.

The communication on the M-Bus system is asyn­chronous serial bit transmission (EN 60870-5-1)
in half duplex mode, i.e. the communication con­sists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (even),
1 stop bit.

The transmission speeds are 300 baud or 2400
baud.

Addresses of M-Bus Slave units

If the M-Bus system is to function with a number
of connected M-Bus Slaves, each M-Bus Slave
must be given an identification number (address).
This is done via MULTICAL

®

, which contains a
unique customer number to the M-Bus Slave. The
unique address of the M-Bus Slave is equal to the
last 3–8 digits of the customer number, and the­reby supports both primary and secondary addres­sing. The address applies to both types of addres­sing, and can be re-programmed either by means
of the hand-held terminal, MULTITERM, or the veri­fication program of METERTOOL.

Primary addressing

The M-Bus Slave automatically reads the energy
meter’s costumer number in connection with start
or initialisation. The address must lie between 1
and 250.

If the last three digits of the customer number
exceed 250 (e.g. 345) the first digit will be ignored
and the ID number of the M-Bus Slave will only be
determined by the two last digits (e.g. 45).

If 3 systems are available each with 250 M-Bus
Slave modules, the number system is build up as
follows:

1st. system:
The energy meters are programmed with customer
numbers from 1001 to 1250.

2nd. system:
The energy meters are programmed with customer
numbers from 2001 to 2250.

3rd. system:
The energy meters are programmed with customer
numbers from 3001 to 3250.

Secondary addressing

The M-Bus Slave automatically reads the customer
number of the energy meter during start or initiali­zation.

The M-Bus address consists of the last 3 – 8 digits
of the customer number, extending the address
possibility to 0000 0001 – 9999 9999.

Note: Kamstrup communication software,

PcM-Bus, and Kamstrup M-Bus Master
do not support secondary addressing.

The M-Bus module does not support extended
secondary address functions, e.g. enhanced secon­dary addressing, collision detection or wild-card
search.

Each M-Bus Slave must have its own addres

The M-Bus Master always sends a message on the
bus to a given address, which is encoded in the
message (the format). Only the M-Bus Slave in que­stion will reply.

If several M-Bus Slaves have the same address a
collision will arise, when the M-Bus Slaves reply to
the M-Bus Master.

However, there are two special addresses, which
function as follows:

Address 254:
All M-Bus Slaves will answer to this address. The
address must solely be used in systems with only
one M-Bus Slave connected, e.g. for test.

Address 255:
No M-Bus Slave will answer to this address, but
all M-Bus Slaves will receive the message. This
message makes it possible e.g. to change the baud
rate of a whole system at a time, only by sending a
format from the M-Bus Master.

Operation

It is optional whether the M-Bus Master is to be
permanently switched on, or the bus system is to
be switched off when not in operation (reading).

The M-Bus system cannot supply the MULTICAL

®

integrating units. Only the M-Bus Slaves are sup­plied from the M-Bus Master.

In connection with start-up the M-Bus Master will
have an initialization time of approx. 5 sec., and
the overload diode will light. After the 5 sec., the
diode will switch off and the M-Bus Master is ready.

In case the bus system is turned on constantly,
these initialization times will only appear in connec­tion with installation. In addition, the initialization
time of M-Bus Slaves is approx. 9 sec., before data
can be acquired, and if mounted in MULTICAL

®

III.

However, if the M-Bus Slaves are installed in

®

MULTICAL

the initialization time is approx. 12 sec.

The initiation time for Kamstrup 162/382/351 Combi
is typically 7 seconds.

Rarely, a longer initiation time might be necessary
– see Appendix.

3. M-Bus Master

Two versions of the M-Bus Master are available.
One with a display and one without, however,
they function in the same way.

The M-Bus Master is built-up with supply print,
connection print and main print.

Furthermore the bracket has room for an extra
module – see paragraph 7 and 8.

The main print is placed at the top of the case,
and except from transformator, bridge connection
and connection terminals everything is mounted
on this print.

The front plate has four light emitting diodes
with the following indications:

Power:
Indicates that the M-Bus Master is supplied
with power.

Overload:
Indicates that too much power is drawn from the
bus. I.e. either a short-circuit or too many M-Bus
Slaves connected to the M-Bus Master.

Request:
Blinks when data are sent from M-Bus Master
to M-Bus Slave.

Data:
Blinks when the M-Bus Master receives data
from a M-Bus Slave.

M-Bus Master without display

The M-Bus Master is no intelligent unit, but a
repeater, which converts a RS232 or an optical
format to the M-Bus format.

M-Bus format means:

From M-Bus Master to M-Bus Slave is:

mark » 30 V
space » 18 V

There has to be at least 12 VDC between mark
and space.

From M-Bus Slave to M-Bus Master is:

mark = closed current
space = closed current + approx. 17 mA.

The M-Bus Master can send and receive at 300 or
2400 baud both over the optical connection possi­bility and over the data output in the bracket which
can be connected direct to RS232 by means of an
adapter cable.

The only difference between the two M-Bus
Masters is that M-Bus Master with a display makes
it possible to read data from all MULTICAL
meters connected, and a computer for reading of
data is not necessary.

Following MULTICAL
on the display:

1. For all heat meters

- Info code

- Energy

- Volume

- In A

- In B

- Target date

2. For each individual heat meter

- Target energy

- Target volume

- Flow temperature

- Return temperature

- ∆t, power and flow

Kamstrup M-Bus Masters can only be used with
primary addressing.

For further information – see the M-Bus Master
manual.

4. M-Bus Slave for MULTICAL

®

The M-Bus Slave is a module especially developed
for MULTICAL® and is easily installed in the modu­lar space.

The M-Bus Slave is supplied via the M-Bus Master,
and there is a galvanic decoupling to MULTICAL

®

,

which cannot be supplied over the M-Bus Master.

The M-Bus Slave is equipped with either two
extra in- or outputs, to facilitate remote data
acquisition from other meters, e.g. water meter
or to read out the energy and volumes pulses
from the meter itself.

The M-Bus Slave is an intelligent unit with its own
processor and RAM.

The M-Bus Slave automatically collects data from
the heat meter every 12 hours. furthermore data is
collected during reset/start as well as when data
has been sent from M-Bus Slave to M-Bus Master.

Reset is produced by decoupling the supply power
to the M-Bus system for a while (at least 1 minute).

Pulse inputs Pulse outputs

The M-Bus Slave can also be initiated from the
M-Bus Master by sending the format SND_NKE.
Initiation means resetting the internal counters
and collecting data from the meter. When the M-Bus
Slave collects current data from the meter, commu­nication to the M-Bus network is blocked. This inter­val is called the initiation time, for MULTICAL

®

III it
is typically 9 seconds, whereas the typical initiation
time of a MULTICAL

®

is 12 seconds.

For the creation of M-Bus data packs the M-Bus
Slave uses the codings of MULTICAL

®

(A-B-CCC).

If the coding cannot be found in the M-Bus Slave
an error message appears which means that the
decimal point will not be correctly placed in the
M-Bus data pack.

Each M-Bus Slave has a maximum current
consumption of 1 Unit Load (1.5 mA).

7. M-Bus Cascade module

The M-Bus Cascade module can be used to increase
the number of M-Bus Slaves in an M-Bus network
from 40 to max. 250 M-Bus Slaves (primarily
addressing). Furthermore, the cable length can be
multiplied by six by using six M-Bus Cascade
modules mounted in M-Bus Master units.

The M-Bus Cascade module is mounted in an M-Bus
Master and needs neither set-up nor address.

The function of the M-Bus Cascade module is
to repeat communication to and from the M-Bus
Master.

A new M-Bus Master with M-Bus Cascade module
is to be connected to an already existing network

®

parallel to one of the connected MULTICAL

energy
meters with M-Bus Slave. From the new M-Bus
Master a new network with 38 energy meters and
1 M-Bus Cascade module or 40 M-Bus Slaves can
be established.

It is possible to connect up to 6 M-Bus Masters
and thereby increase the number of energy meters
in the network to a total of 250 meters (primarily
addressing).

Each M-Bus Cascade module has a power
consumption of 2 Unit Loads (3 mA).

8. M-Bus Modem

An M-Bus system of up to 40 meters can be read
via the M-Bus Modem.

The M-Bus Modem can be mounted in both M-Bus
Master without a display and M-Bus Master with
a display.

The line voltage is measured here.

Test

1. When the modem has been installed, the line
voltage must be measured on clamps 70 and

71. It must be min. 24 VDC.

2. Remount the top of the M-Bus Master.

3. Make a forced call.

M-Bus Master without a display
Keep pressing the key for min. 10 seconds.

The modem module calls the utility at the
entered number.

M-Bus Master with display
Keep pressing both keys for min. 10 seconds,

until a “Call” appears in the display.
The modem module calls the utility at the ente­red number.

The M-Bus Modem is read via the communication
software PcModem, but uses the same database
as PcM-Bus.

When the call has been made, we recommend you
to call the utility to ensure that the call has been re­gistered by the system software.

Two telephone numbers are entered into the
M-Bus Modem:

Telephone number 1: The data number for

■

remote reading.

Telephone number 2: An alternative data num-

■

ber for remote reading.

Each number can contain 24 digits.

The M-Bus Modem can be programmed to make
calls directly and not via a PABX switchboard accor­ding to the “0 - Pause - dialling tone” method.

9. Installation of M-Bus

An M-Bus system is mounted with bus topology,
which means that all M-Bus Slaves are coupled to
the M-Bus system in parallel. You start from the
M-Bus Master, into the first M-Bus Slave, from the
first M-Bus Slave and on to the next one etc.

The M-Bus Master has two sets of parallel termi­nals, which makes it possible to divide the M-Bus
in two halves in order to facilitate later error detec­tion.

The M-Bus terminals have the numbers 24 and 25.

The M-Bus is independent of polarity i.e. it is at no
consequence how the M-Bus wires are connected
to terminals 24 or 25.

®

A M-Bus Slave is mounted in MULTICAL
ting the M-Bus Slave at the module place and
mounting the M-Bus cables. Before the identifi­cation number can be entered in the M-Bus Slave,
the M-Bus Slave must be either reset or initiated.

We recommend that the whole M-Bus system is
switched off when mounting new M-Bus Slaves.
When all M-Bus Slaves have been connected,
the M-Bus system is started (the current to the
M-Bus Master is switched on). This start will reset
all M-Bus Slaves.

by inser-

M-Bus Slaves can also be mounted without the
M-Bus system being switched off. This means that
SND_NKE must be sent to address 255 when all
M-Bus Slaves have been mounted in order to ini­tiate them. Failing to do so, the connected M-Bus
Slaves will not collect their ID-numbers, so that
the M-Bus Master can contact them, until 12 hours
later.

Cable length

The cable length depends on the cable resistance
and capacity. The cable resistance depends on the
cable type and above all the cross section.

General demands:

The resistance R must be less
than 29 Ω/km.

The capacity C must be less

than 180 nF/km.

If e.g. a cable of 2 x 0.8 mm
approx 1.800 m cable is used in total in the M-Bus
system based on 40 M-Bus Slaves.

M-Bus is connected on terminals 24 and 25,
independent on polarity.

Serial data output:

- terminal 62 = DATA: Brown

- terminal 63 = REQUEST: White

- terminal 64 = GND: Green

For correct communication between M-Bus Master
and PC, IR head type 66-99-102 or data cable type
66-99-106 from Kamstrup must be used.

The M-Bus Slave is connected to M-Bus on termi­nals 24 and 25. It is possible to loop the terminals.

After mounting we recommend to check the vol­tage on terminals 60 and 61, it should be between
36 and 62 VDC. Then mount the M-Bus Master top
part, the light emitting diode designated POWER
should be constantly lighted and OVERLOAD will
be lighted for approx. 5 sec.

Now the M-Bus power can be checked on terminals
24 and 25. It is not possible, however, to do this in
the bracket itself, cables on which to measure must
be mounted and drawn through the bracket.

The control can possibly be made on a M-Bus Slave
in a MULTICAL

®

. The power must be between 30 and

36 VDC, if communication is made on the M-Bus.

When the M-Bus Master reads a M-Bus Slave,
REQUEST will be lighted briefly and the light emit­ting diode DATA will be lighted short-term when
the M-Bus Slave answers.

M-Bus Slave and foreign M-Bus masters

When using foreign masters and/or foreign
software, the same commands are to be used.
The M-Bus Slave only supports the above­mentioned commands.

Is the command SND_NKE (address) used,
the M-Bus Slave will answer CON_ACK.

Is the command SND_UD1 (address) used,
the M-Bus Slave also answers CON_ACK.

Kamstrup software always uses the address 255,
which does not require an acknowledgement from
the M-Bus Slave.

The data telegram is in M-Bus format until the
“END” character 0FH, see Appendix.

The data which follows is in Kamstrup format,
which can not be decoded by foreign software/
M-Bus Masters.

The M-Bus Slave will identify itself by the manu­facturer code “KAM”.

Appendix

1. REQ_UD2 (adr.) ¨ RSP_UD1
In order to collect heat meter data from a M-Bus
Slave REQ_UD1 must be sent from the M-Bus
Master. The M-Bus Slave checks the message,
and if it is o.k., the M-Bus Slave answers
RSP_UD1 – heat meter data packed according
to the CEN standard. The collected data will al­ways be at least 12 hours old. When RSP_UD1
has been sent from the M-Bus Slave, new data
will be collected from the heat meter. I.e. you
can acquire completely fresh data by sending
REQ_UD1 twice to the same M-Bus Slave.
As data acquisition from MULTICAL
MULTICAL

®

means that the bus communication

®

III or

is blocked, an interval of min. 9 sec. between
two REQ_UD1 to the same M-Bus Slave is re­quired. MULTICAL

®

requires an interval of 12
sec. However, at rare intervals bus communi­cation may be blocked for up to 25–30 sec.
while measurings of energy, power, flow, tem­perature etc. are being made.

The initiation time of the electricity meter is

typically 7 sec., but at rare intervals the com­munication may be blocked for up to 20 sec.

2. SND_NKE (adr.) ¨ CON_ACK
The M-Bus Master is initiated by means of
SND_NKE, and the M-Bus Slave acknowledges
receipt of the message by means of CON_ACK.

3. SND_UD1 (adr.) ¨ CON_ACK
The M-Bus Master wants to change the baud
rate of the M-Bus Slave. SND_ UD1 is sent,
and the M-Bus Slave accepts with CON_ACK.
It should be mentioned that the baud rate
cannot be changed until CON_ACK has been
transmitted.

In Rev. C1 and onwards for type 66-04-00-100

this feature is unnecessary, as the M-Bus Slave
is furnished with a built-in auto detect of the
baud rate, however, nevertheless it is imple­mented in the M-Bus Slave. The feature is not
necessary for 66-07-000-100, 66-08-000-100,
66-09-000-100, 66-0S-000-100 and
66-0S-000-200, but is nevertheless imple­mented.

* 04H is used when data is acquired from a return meter

** 0CH is used when data is acquired from a flow meter

*** Error code: 80H ¨ Error during the last collection of heat meter data, data incorrect or too old.

40H ¨ Error in prog_No., e.g. number unknown. I.e. data not correctly encoded.

The error code should be checked when data is received – only apply to “old” M-Bus Slaves.

Heat meter M-Bus Slaves supplied after 15 April 2003 automatically check the STATUS field, and do not
send data on the M-Bus if the field is different from “0”.

The M-Bus Slave makes up to three attempts, at intervals of 5 seconds, to collect correct data from the
meter. If the STATUS field remains different from “0”, automatic data update, or the next user effected
reading will be awaited.
