Your benefits
- Interface multiplication:
Multiple use of meter data - Use of a GWFcoder® meter with SCR(IEC) interface in a M-Bus network:
Meter data can be made available to the end customer - Labeled connection terminals:
Easy on-site installation
Applications
- With the interface, water and gas meters equipped with GWFcoder® registers can be read by the utility for billing purposes and by the building management system for energy optimization
Properties
- Data compatibility – for the M-Bus master, the interface behaves like a GWFcoder® meter with integrated M-Bus
- Polarity-independent connection of GWFcoder® meters to the interface
- DIN rail mounting
- With the interface, a GWFcoder® meter with SCR(IEC) interface can be integrated simultaneously into two separate M-Bus networks. The interface automatically reads the GWFcoder® register at predefined intervals and stores the current data set in the internal memory. When a readout via M-Bus is performed, the data are immediately available and transmitted to the master.

Components
General Operating Behavior
- The start-up time after power «ON» is max. 15 s. The interface automatically reads the data from the GWFcoder® register.
- After successful readout of the GWFcoder® register, the interface can be selected and read out by the M-Bus master.
- The readout software must support interpretation of the GWFcoder® data record. The data record is compatible with the data record of GWFcoder® meters with integrated M-Bus. This data record is already supported by most providers.
Readout Interval
- The meter reading is updated in the interface after each readout and additionally every 15 min.
- If the meters are read cyclically within the M-Bus network, a pause of at least 15 s must be observed at the end of each cycle.
- The readout interval of the interface must not be less than 15 s.
Commissioning
- During commissioning, the baud rate for «M-Bus a» and «M-Bus b» must be verified and, when using primary addressing, the address must be parameterized. The secondary address is read directly by the interface from the GWFcoder® register.
- «M-Bus a» must be connected, as the interface is powered via this connection.
- After replacing a meter, «M-Bus a» must be restarted (power ON/OFF), and the meter list of both M-Bus networks must be updated in the readout software.
- After replacing the interface, the baud rate and, if applicable, the primary address must be reconfigured.
