Configuration Example
This example will configure the gateway for end-to-end communication using M-
Bus Master and BACnet/IP Server.
Say, for instance, we wish to communicate to a heat meter that supports M-Bus
from a SCADA system that supports BACnet/IP. We wish to monitor the volume
flow, flow temperature, and return temperature. The volume flow and
temperatures can be monitored by mapping BACnet Analog Inputs.
Configure the Ethernet port using the above requirements
•
Connect the gateway to the PC via a USB mini type-B cable.
•
Open the configuration utility and select the ETH-1000 (see section 8.1 for
more information on selecting a device).
•
Click on the
Ethernet Configuration
subtab.
•
Click
Use a static IP address
and enter an IP address for the gateway to
reside at on the SCADA system’s network.
•
Check the checkbox next to
BACnet/IP
Server
in the
Protocol
dropdown
menu, and then click on the
BACnet/IP Server
subtab.
•
Enter a
Device Name,
device
Instance Number
, and the
Max Master
for
the gateway.
•
Create BACnet objects to map the data from the gateway’s database to the
SCADA system. The monitor object data will start at database address 0.

For the volume flow object, enter the following:
•
Select
Analog Input
from the
Type
selection group.
•
Enter “Volume Flow” into the
Object Name
field.
•
Enter “0” into the
Instance
field.
•
Enter “0” into the
Database Addr
field.
•
Select
32-bit Signed
from the
Data Type
dropdown
menu.
•
Enter “1” into the
Multiplier
field.
•
Select
Liters/Second (87)
from the
Units
dropdown
menu.
•
Click

.
For the flow temperature object, enter the following:
•
Select
Analog Input
from the
Type
selection group.
•
Enter “Flow Temp” into the
Object Name
field.
•
Enter “1” into the
Instance
field.
