M-Bus Integration Solution MLC-40-C
M-Bus Integration Solution
MLC-40-C
Network & Integration Device
The M‑Bus integration solution combines a Carrier Integrator and M-Bus Level Converter (part number MLC-40-C), to bring M-Bus utility meter data into the i-Vu building automation system. Tailored for international markets, it elevates building‑wide visibility and simplifies compliance and sustainability reporting.
- Streamlined Installation: The M-Bus Level Converter supports an unpolarized two-wire connection to M-Bus networks and features a standard 35mm DIN-rail mount for secure and efficient setup startup.
- High-Density Monitoring: Supports up to 40 standard M-Bus devices and 400 points per converter, offering a scalable solution for managing diverse utility meters in small to large-scale commercial facilities.
- Streamlined M‑Bus Discovery & Point Management: The MLCT (M‑Bus Level Converter Tool) automatically scans the M‑Bus network to identify available points and generates a downloadable .csv file with precise point addresses for direct mapping into i-Vu.
- Facilitates Regulatory Alignment: Supports compliance with international standards, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), by delivering the measurement data required for tenant billing and sustainability reporting.
