To troubleshoot M-Bus meters connected to an PiiGAB M-Bus 810 there are a couple of things to verify.

Here is a list of good tools to use during troubleshooting:

• PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard
• Gettings started PiiGAB M-Bus 810
• MicroMaster USB
• PiiGAB's general M-Bus documentation

IP-address
What IP-address is the gateway using? To have network communication with the gateway you need to setup your computer in the same network as the gateway. If there is an IT section please contact them to receive an IP-address for your computer. With the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard you can search gateways on the network or ping the gateway’s IP-address to verify if the network communication works.
I PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard kan man söka efter omvandlare på nätverket eller ”pinga” omvandlarens IP-adress för att verifiera att nätverkskontakten fungerar.

f it’s not possible to receive the gateway’s IP-address then you need to setup a new IP-address.
Please see the FAQ on how to do this.

Port
What port is the gateway set to in order for the the M-Bus client to read the M-Bus meters? If you have network connection with the gateway you can find out the port with the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard.

Starta PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard -> Ändra omvandlarens parametrar -> Anslut via nätverk.

Protocol
What protocol is the gateway set to in order for the the M-Bus client to read the M-Bus meters? If you have network connection with the gateway you can find out the protocol with the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard.

Starta PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard -> Ändra omvandlarens parametrar -> Anslut via nätverk.

Note: If the gateway uses TCP you might not be able to connect to the gateway with the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard to read the M-Bus meters. This is due to that another client is connected to the port that the gateway is using. Change the port, change to UDP or turn off the client.

Communication speed
What communication speed is the gateway set to in order for the the M-Bus client to read the M-Bus meters?If you have network connection with the gateway you can find out the communication speed with the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard.

Starta PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard -> Ändra omvandlarens parametrar -> Anslut via nätverk.

Note: If the gateway is set to 300 baud the communication speed is very slow. Remember to change the timeout in the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard to handle the long response time.

M-Bus meters
Is there any documentation of what M-Bus meters that are connected to the gateway? What addresses does the M-Bus meters use? (primary or secondary addresses).

If there is documentation of the meters then you can simple check each meter one by one with the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard. It’s also possible to read the search function in the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard.

If there is no documentation of the meters then you can use the search function in the PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard. If the the result of the search function is incomplete then you have to find each meter one by one on the site and test them individually by it’s M-Bus address (primary or secondary address).

A M-Bus meter not responding
If an M-bus meter is not responding then you have to test the meter individually. If possible disconnect all other meters and test only that specific meter. Try with primary address 254 or the meter’s own primary or secondary address.

If it’s not possible to disconnect all meters then you can test the specific meter with a MicroMaster USB.

På menyn i gatewayens gränssnitt klickar på på ”Administrations” där under finns sedan undermenyn ”Basic settings”. Scroll ner en bit på sidan så kommer du till ”Webserver Setting”, se skärmdump.

If nothing else has been specified in the order, the default configurations are set for DHCP.

All configurations are made in the gateway’s web interface.

Det är bara PiiGAB M-Bus 900 V2.XX.XX.XXX eller senare versioner som stödjer funktionen där IP-adressen kan ändras med PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard.

Both PiiGAB M-Bus 900 V2 and PiiGAB M-Bus 900S can change their IP address with the PiiGAB M-Bus Wizard.

Keep in mind that the netmask and default gateway will not be set. These need to be set in the converter's web interface. Please read it under the FAQ section "Example of initial contact"

Ja du kan ladda ner den nya uppdateringen även om du använder http, men du kommer behöva ändra i konfigureringen så att http ska vara standard innan du uppdaterar, vi rekommenderar dock att du använder HTTPS istället av säkerhetsskäl. Gäller från version 2.6.2

Så här gör du för att ändra från HTTP till HTTPS i gatewayen, klicka här

Om du inte vet om du kör HTTP eller HTTPS kan du ladda ner vårt script för att ta reda på det. Ladda ner det här

If you are using TCP and the M-Bus Wizard at the same time you cannot make contact with an additional TCP client since the M-Bus Wizard “owns” the TCP handle. Shut down the M-Bus Wizard before starting the second TCP client. The same goes if you are using COM ports.

Conversion of Modbus meters to M-Bus is done in the program Modbus2Mbus Config. You can find this for download at https://www.piigab.com/products/mjukvara/

In order to have a simple and trouble-free conversion, it is important to have the meter's manual available.

Create a new project and then add a device per meter.

Set the parameters for Mbus and Modbus communication

Add objects for each measured value to be read out and set the correct Modbus register as well as unit and scaling.

If you have several meters of each type, copy the meter and only change the Slave and M-Bus address.

It is also possible to save these as templates for future projects.

After the project is finished, it is saved and then uploaded to the 900

Read M-Bus meters from external M-Bus master

The following list instructs how to configure a PiiGAB M-Bus 900/900S as an M-Bus slave, i.e. one or two external M-Bus masters can read the M-Bus meter connected to the gateway.

There are two possible cases when the Pwr LED is flashing.

• Short circuit on the M-Bus loop indicates by a hastily red flash (5 flashes/second)
• Overload indication on the M-Bus loop indicates by a slow orange flash (1 flash/second)

In the event where the M-Bus loop is connected to the pulse port by mistake instead of the M-bus port on a meter a flash can occur every time a pulse goes trough. If the meter generates many pulses the power light will flash very fast as the pulses go through.

Mätarna i webgänsnittets Overview sida har tre olika status lägen.

Dessa ändras inte automatiskt utan det krävs att användaren testar statusen via funktionen Verify som testar alla mätare som är Röda eller via funktionen Read All Meters som skickar en fråga till samtliga listade mätare och ser om de är anslutna.

A client is something which requests the data from the M-Bus meter through the gateway.

• Name: Admin
• Password: Admin

The license depends on the number of load units, clients, protocols and hardware add-ons for which the converter is to be configured.

Quantity of M-Bus loads: 5, 20, 60 eller 120.
Quantity of clients: 1, 2 or 4.
Protocols:

• MBus2MBus
• MBus2Modbus
• MBus2MBusASCII
• QuickPost
• Modbus2MBus.
• Wireless M-Bus

• For https: 443 (standard)
• For http: 80

Quick start Guide för att Konfigurera M-Bus to Modbus 

1. Koppla in alla mätare du vi använda på M-bus slingan i Mbus Masterport 1-4 på din Gateway. 

2. Sök på dina mätare i webbgränssnittet med hjälp av en ”Fast Search” i fliken Startup Config 

Dina mätare bör dyka upp i en lista under knappen ”Fast Search”

3. Gå sedan till overview sidan i Startup Config där nu mätarna bör synas i listan nedan.

Lägg till Krypteringsnycklar till mätarna om de är Wirelessmätare

4. Klicka på ”Auto-Create Myconfig files”

Filerna som ska användas för att läsa mätare skapas nu

5. Gå till MbusHub och fliken ”Master port”, välj sedan configurationsfil till Masterportfilen enligt nedan. Spara configurationen.

6. Gå till Slavport 1 och välj configurationsfil enligt bilden nedan

7. Nu kommer du kunna ställa frågor mot de registerposter som står beskrivna i CSV-filen som finns i slavports fliken i webbgränssnittet

Conversion of Modbus meters to M-Bus is done in the program Modbus2Mbus Config. You can find this for download at https://www.piigab.com/products/mjukvara/

In order to have a simple and trouble-free conversion, it is important to have the meter's manual available.

Create a new project and then add a device per meter.

Set the parameters for Mbus and Modbus communication

Add objects for each measured value to be read out and set the correct Modbus register as well as unit and scaling.

If you have several meters of each type, copy the meter and only change the Slave and M-Bus address.

It is also possible to save these as templates for future projects.

After the project is finished, it is saved and then uploaded to the 900

Om kommunikationen ej fungerar kontrollera att ingen annan process låser den porten.

Kontrollera att ej Modbus2Mbus eller ngn slavport är satt till RS485.

Aktivera även RS-485 Failsafe i MBushub för stabilare insamling.

The following list instructs how to configure a PiiGAB M-Bus 900/900S so that M-Bus meters can be read with RS485.

1. Start the gateway’s web interface in any web browser.
2. Go to the Configuration page.
3. Select any slave port for the RS485 communication.
4. Specify the following parameters:
   • Type: Serial.
   • Com port: RS-485.
   • Baud rate: The specified communication speed on the RS485 bus.
   • Bit Number: Number of data bits on the RS485 bus.
   • Parity: The parity for the RS485 bus.
   • Stop Bit: Number of stop bits on the RS485 bus.
   • Timeout: Expected time to get answer from the M-Bus meter.
   • Protocol: The data protocol on the RS485 bus.
5. Press the Save settings.
6. Connect the RS485-cable to the the gateways pin 8 (A) and 9 (B).

The picture shows Slave port 2 is configured for RS485 on 2400 baud, 8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit, 2000ms as timeout and M-Bus communication.

Note:

• Make sure the gateway doesn’t use the RS485-port anywhere else. For instance any other slave ports or the Modbus2MBus and/or the Wireless applications.
• The A and B pins should likely go to the opposite A and B on the RS485 master.
  Exempelvis: A->A och B->B.
