Carte Click Master M-Bus
Carte Click Master M-Bus
Le M-Bus Master Click Board™ est une solution complète pour un nœud maître dans les réseaux M-Bus. Le M-Bus (« Meter-Bus ») est une nouvelle norme européenne pour la lecture à distance des compteurs et il est également utilisable pour tous les autres types de compteurs de consommation ainsi que pour divers capteurs et actionneurs. Compte tenu de toutes les fonctionnalités offertes par ces éléments, le M-Bus Master Click peut être utilisé pour des applications à faible coût et des applications à alimentation unique à basse tension basées sur MCU.
La carte Click Board™ M-Bus Master est prise en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette carte Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The M-Bus Master Click Board™ Work?
The remote reading of heat meters can take place in different ways. Besides the remote reading, the whole collection of various meters can be remotely controlled over M-Bus, making it a complete housing solution. The latter is a logical continuation/extension of the technical development of consumption meters and is realizable with the help of the M-Bus Master Click Board™.
In order to realize an extensive bus network with low cost for the transmission medium, a two-wire cable was used together with serial data transfer. In order to allow remote powering of the slaves, the bits on the bus are represented as follows:
- The transfer of bits from master to slave is accomplished by means of voltage level shifts. A logical "1" (Mark) corresponds to a nominal voltage of +36 V at the output of the bus driver (repeater), which is a part of the master; when a logical "0" (Space) is sent, the repeater reduces the bus voltage by 12 V to a nominal +24 V at its output.
- Bits sent in the direction from slave to master are coded by modulating the current consumption of the slave. A logical "1" is represented by a constant (versus voltage, temperature and time) current of up to 1.5 mA, and a logical "0" (Space) by an increased current drain requirement by the slave of additional 11-20 mA. The mark state current can be used to power the interface and possibly the meter or sensor itself.
As mentioned above, M-Bus standard has predefined voltage levels and principle of work. In order to achieve that, the M-Bus Master Click board™ has built in complete solution for master node on the network, based on MC33072ADR2G – monolithic, single supply 3 - 44 V operational amplifier from ON Semiconductor. Besides the operational amplifier, this click board has all other needed components needed to achieve a complete analog solution which, on its output, fulfils the M-Bus voltage and current predefined specifications.
The M-Bus Master Click board™ also has VOM452 onboard – the analog, high speed, high noise immunity, 1 MBd optocoupler, from Vishay Semiconductors. These high speed optocouplers, each consists of a GaAlAs infrared emitting diode, optically coupled with an integrated photo detector and a high speed transistor. The photo detector is junction isolated from the transistor to reduce miller capacitance effects. The open collector output function allows circuit designers to adjust the load conditions when interfacing with different logic systems such as TTL, CMOS, etc. All these features improve the reliability of the whole circuit, while enabling the galvanic isolation.
The M-Bus Master Click board™ offers a selection between 3.3V and 5V operation, with the onboard SMD jumper, labeled as PWR SEL. This allows both 3.3V and 5V MCUs to be interfaced with this Click board™.

Software Support
We provide a library for the M-Bus Master Click board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
Initializes and defines UART bus driver, and defines driver's functions for writing data on the M-BUS terminal.
Key Functions
void mbusmaster_write_byte ( uint8_t input )
- Write one byte data
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes UART module
- Application Initialization - Initializes driver init
- Application Task - Sends a message [MikroE] to the M-BUS connector every 2 seconds.
void application_task ( ) { char tmp; for ( tmp = 0; tmp < 9; tmp++ ) { mbusmaster_write_byte( demo_message_data[ tmp ] ); } mikrobus_logWrite( ">> MESSAGE SENT <<", _LOG_LINE ); Delay_ms(2000); } Note:
- M-Bus master communication works at 36v.
- This click acts only as 'master', therefore it must be connected to appropriate 'slave'.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- UART
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The M-Bus Master Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
