LED signals

:  

Power

 (green): Power supply is O.K. 

Slave

 (yellow): M-Bus slave is transmitting 

Max

 (yellow): Maximum current exceeded

 

Short

 (red):  Over current (short circuit) 

 

RS232 interface: 

The M-Bus can be accessed via an RS232C interface. The signals TXD, RXD and GND 
(PC notations) are wired to terminals and to both DB9 connectors at the housing. The 
upper DB9 socket (female) is designed for a PC and the lower DB9 plug (male) for a 
modem. Only one of these three connectors can be used simultaneously. You can 
attach a 1:1 serial cable to PC or the modem cable to modem. The modem must be 
configured before it is connected (see addendum: “Modem configuration”).

RS485 interface: 

The PW60 normally activates the receive mode on the RS485. On reception of data 
from the M-Bus slaves it switches to transmit mode (RS485 transmitter active). About 
37ms after the last received data bit (0) the receive mode is re-entered. The RS485 
interface of the PW60 is not addressable. There is an internal line termination of 1k

 

inside the PW60. A stronger line termination of 120

 can be obtained by connecting a 

resistor of  130

 between the terminals S+ and S-. 

 

Simultaneous use of interfaces: 

In case of a local readout using the keyboard of the remote display or during an 
automatical readout the RS485 and RS232 interfaces do not have access to the M-Bus. 
These functions and the contemporary use of the RS485 and RS232 interfaces can 
produce temporary disturbances in communication. 
 

Exchange of the fuse: 

Over voltages on the power supply input may cause the fuse to blow. Please switch off 
or disconnect the mains power (danger of life) before inserting a new fuse   (type 

5x20 

250V 0,16A slow blow / 5x20 110V 0,25A slow blow for –US version

). The fuse is 

removed by pulling the fuse holder. You can use a screw driver to open the fuse holder.
