GENERAL
WARNING
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the Instructions Manual,
may cause interference with radio communication.
It has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to
Subpart J of Part 15 or FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in
which case, users at their own expense will be
required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference. Any
unauthorized modification of this equipment may
result in the revocation of the owner's authority to
continue its operation.
GENERAL
The Q7055C series Honeywell Meter Point Connect (MPC)
provides connection to sub-metering devices via M-Bus level
converter using MeterBus Protocol. The Meter Point
communicates to EBI-Central over an industry standard 10/
100BaseT Ethernet LAN. It delivers exceptional price/
performance to meet the requirements of both building owners
and service providers. The Meter Point communicates to sub-
metering devices via a M-Bus level converter using M-Bus
standards: EN13757-3 and EN1434-3. With its combination of
scalable performance, density, and low per-port pricing, the
MPC allows network layer capabilities to be extended to a
much wider range of network configurations and
environments. Customers can now gain the advantages of
high-performance network and services, including traffic
management, to more locations throughout the network. The
Q7055C MPC-Model M1 provides a single RS-485 DC
coupled M-Bus-compatible communication channel for
submetering devices.
M-Bus compatible sub-metering devices support baud-rates
from 300 bps to 19200 bps. The Q7055C MPC-Model M2
provides two RS-485 DC coupled M-Bus-compatible
communication channels for submetering devices.

The MPC uses the LAN connection to provide a seamless
communication to the requesting device. Status information,
like LAN communication activity, field bus traffic
communication and system heartbeat of the MPC is indicated
by LEDs on the device front.
