700 Series Metering

All-in-one Metering Integration for Smart Buildings

The Intesis 700 Series Metering Gateways empower BMS providers, integrators, and distributors to deliver smarter energy management reducing costs, simplifying projects, and accelerating time to market.

  • IN702: Ideal for projects requiring mixed device integration. Connect M-Bus meters, Modbus devices, and digital pulse inputs to BACnet, KNX, or Modbus networks.
  • IN712: Tailored for pure M-Bus metering applications. Integrate water, gas, heat, or electricity meters into BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP systems with ease.

Achieve cost-effective, fast, and scalable integration of smart meter networks into BMS control systems.

M-Bus protocol

Integrate M-Bus devices into your building management system

M-Bus, short for “Meter-Bus,” is a communication protocol widely used for remote meter reading and data collection from utility meters and other measuring devices.

The Intesis 700 Series Metering solutions go beyond traditional M-Bus integration enabling simultaneous meters connection or dedicated M-Bus integration , allowing the remote reading of water, gas, heat, or electricity meters for accurate energy monitoring and cost control.

The configuration is carried through the Intesis MAPS configuration tool, featuring auto-discovery of M-Bus devices and advanced commissioning options for fast and reliable setup.

Why Intesis?

Make the most of your installation with a remote metering solution

M-Bus is a widely used standard protocol for remote metering solutions. It's easy to install, has low power consumption, and can be integrated into a building management system using an Intesis M-Bus gateway, with versions available for BACnet, KNX, and Modbus protocols.

The Intesis MAPS configuration tool allows data mapping, register discovery, bus scan, and M-Bus template generation. The Protocol Translator has a built-in level converter, eliminating additional hardware costs.

Save time and money with smart metering integration

M-Bus meter reading functionality brings several advantages for building owners and users alike. It offers automated, non-intrusive, and accurate readings, enabling more frequent data collection for consumption optimization, simplified data processing, and flexible meter placement.

It also eliminates the need for extra hardware as the Protocol Translator powers the bus.

Q&A

Is M-Bus the only protocol available for smart metering in building automation?

No, others such as Modbus, BACnet, or IoT protocols are also well-known for their good performance in smart metering applications. The Intesis Protocol Translators enable common connectivity among several protocols so the user can pair the combination according to the project’s needs.

It's important to choose the right protocol based on factors such as the types of devices being used, the existing infrastructure, scalability requirements, data security, and the intended applications of the building automation system. The choice of protocol can significantly impact the interoperability, efficiency, and effectiveness of the metering integration.

What type of metering data can I integrate into the BMS?

Using Intesis solutions for smart metering, additional data such as communication status, errors, bus activity, and continuous reading values can be managed from the BMS as if they are part of the control system itself.

What protocols and certifications are supported by Intesis solutions?

All the products are certified for the main protocols and markets and are ready to be used worldwide. The M-Bus smart metering integration is possible for BACnet, KNX, and Modbus protocols.
