Connect M-Bus and Modbus-based building equipment to BACnet or KNX

Factory-to-Building gateways allow industrial equipment to communicate with building controllers and building management systems (BMS) by connecting Modbus and M-Bus devices with popular Building Automation networks such as BACnet and KNX.

Modbus to BACnet and KNX systems

The Anybus Factory-to-Building gateways support the communication protocols used in the building sector, e.g. BACnet and KNX. In addition, they also include Modbus TCP Client and Modbus RTU Master functionality.

Enables central control and supervision of Modbus devices within building automation on BACnet (both IP and MS/TP) or KNX
Connects up to 254 Modbus slaves to BACnet or KNX (processing up to 3000 Modbus registers), managing both Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU simultaneously
BTL certification for BACnet

M-Bus sensors connected to Modbus TCP control systems

Cooling, heat, water, electricity – Modern buildings use various sensors to collect different physical values. These sensors usually communicate via M-Bus. Using the Anybus M-Bus to Modbus-TCP gateway, a sensor can be easily accessed by central system controllers using Modbus TCP.

Get data on your consumption of electricity, water or gas onto a Modbus TCP network
Enable total overview of your site’s consumption, including building parameters (electricity, water, gas etc.) into a SCADA system
No hardware or software changes are required for the connected M-Bus device
Two versions available supporting connection up to 20 or 80 M-Bus Loads

What I really like about the Anybus M-Bus gateway is that it is very easy to use and quick to install. Before, it could take several hours to configure a single meter running M-Bus. With the Anybus gateway we can set things up in 10 minutes!
