Description

AD-01 is an industrial adapter for M-bus communication. AD-01 is a very flexible product for building of M-Bus networks. The AD-01 can be configured for a number of applications. It is possible to access the AD-01 and activate/deactivate RS-232 and M-Bus slave port using commands over M-Bus.

• 9-position D-sub connector (RS-232, (M-Bus))
• Data rate from 300 bit/s up to 9600 bit/s
• Automatic data rate detection
• Converter between RS-232 (M-Bus) and M-Bus networks
• Repeater
• Used to interconnect M-Bus and SIOX networks
• Zone controller
• Up to 120 M-bus slaves
• Galvanic isolated
• Designed for hash environments

AD-01 is a flexible product which implements a number of possibilities to
extend / control a M-Bus network.

AD-01 includes a micro controller (µC) which handles the data flow through the unit.
The main function is activating / deactivating of the two ports, RS-232/V.24 master and M-Bus master which gives possibilities for the unit to work as a zone controller.
Data packets received on the slave side is passed further on the active master ports.
Data packets received on active master ports is passed further on both slave ports.
AD-01 can be addressed and configured over the slave ports.
AD-01’s master ports are active according to factory default. This means that AD-01 can be used as a RS-232 / M-Bus converter without any external configuration.

DIP-switch settings

Before DIP-switch settings:

Prevent damage to internal electronics from electrostatic discharges (ESD) by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use of wrist strap).
NOTE DIP-switch alterations are only effective after a power on.

S1 Primary address

 Address bit inactive (‘0’)
 Address bit active (‘1’)

The units primary address is set up as a 8-bit binary address (0–255)
S1:1 is the least significant bit, S1:8 is the most significant bit.
Observe that only primary addresses 1–250 is allowed to use according to M-Bus standard.
Example, address 103 = “01100111” binary = S1: 4, 5, 8 OFF, others ON,
see table on page xxxx

Mounting

This unit should be mounted on 35 mm DIN-rail, which is horizontally mounted inside an apparatus cabinet, or similar. Snap on mounting, see figure.

Cooling

This unit uses convection cooling. To avoid obstructing the airflow around the unit, use the following spacing rules. Minimum spacing 25 mm (1.0 inch) above /below and 10 mm (0.4 inches) left /right the unit. Spacing is recommended for the use of unit in full operating temperature range and service life.

Removal

Press down the black support at the back of the unit using a screwdriver, see figure.

Protocol implementation

Parts of the M-Bus protocol is implemented in the unit. Data packets which are not addressed to the unit are transparently passed further without format or checksum control. Packets addressed to the unit are controlled according to M-Bus standard.

Unit addressing

AD-01 can be addressed over the M-Bus protocol in two ways, by using primary or secondary addressing.

Primary addressing

The primary address is set with switches inside the unit. See page 11, Switch settings / Primary address.

Secondary addressing

The secondary address is based on a unique identification number in every unit. The AD-01 secondary address is according the unit serial number and can in this way easily be identified. The following secondary address parameters is used in AD-01

Example: Unit with serial number 729 has ID number 10000729

Unit configuration

Some of the M-Bus protocol applications are implemented in AD-01. This makes it possible to configure a number of internal parameters. The following applications are implemented.

Initialisation of slave (SND_NKE)

Selection of data rate

(only if data rate using protocol is selected, see page 11, Switch settings / Data rate functionality).
All data rates from 300 bit/s up to 9 600 bit/s can be configured according to M-Bus standard.

Selection of slave

Selection of slave to be able to use secondary addressing. Slave select is performed according to M-Bus standard.

Set up / Read out of master ports setting

Set up or read out of the units master ports setting is made with a specific command sequence.

Set up of master ports

Set up of the master ports is possible using a SND_UD command, CI = 51 (hex) with the following data field.

Data field| DIF = 01 (hex)| VIF = FD (hex)| VIFE = E2 (hex)| VIFE = 00 (hex)| DATA
---|---|---|---|---|---
Description| 8-bit integer| Ext. coding| Cont. signal| Write replace| Port setup

The DATA is coded according the following:

Read out of master ports

Read out of the master ports setting is possible using a REQ_UD2 command. AD-01 will respond with a RSP_UD, CI=72 (hex) with the following data field.

The DATA is coded according the following:

Error indication

AD-01 includes possibilities to alert the supervision system of short-circuit or overload on the M-Bus master interface. Readout of error status can be made using a REQ_UD2 command. AD-01 uses the status field in a RSP_UD answer sequence to alert possible errors.

The coding of the status field is according to the following:

Program update

A software update can be made using the 9-position D-sub connection. AD-01 has a micro controller with flash memory which can be reprogrammed. To perform a program update a program file from Westermo and flash software is necessary.

Set up of AD-01 for program update

1. Connect AD-01 to computer serial interface. Observe that the connection must be to AD-01 9-position D-sub.
2. Set AD-01 in flash mode, S2:2 OFF, S2:3 ON. Observe, power must be removed before switch setting.

Set up of flash program

After installation and start the following window will appear on screen.

1. Choose ”Set Environment” and select serial port.
2. Choose ”Target Microcontroller” as MB90F497/G.
3. Choose ”Crystal Frequency” as 4 MHz.
4. Choose ”Open” and select program file.
5. Choose ”Full Operation”.
6. Control that the programming is completed without errors.
7. Remove power to AD-01
8. Set AD-01 in normal operation, S2:2 ON, S2:3 OFF.
9. Reconnect power to AD-01.

Application example

AD-01 is an industrial adapter for M-Bus communication. AD-01 is a flexible product for building of M-Bus networks. The unit is equipped with two RS-232/V.24 interfaces, one M-Bus master and one M-Bus slave interface. The AD-01 can be configured for a number of applications.

AD-01 as converter RS-232 to M-Bus

AD-01 can be used as a converter between RS-232 and M-Bus. The M-Bus master interface can drive up to 120 slave loads.

Consider the following points.

• AD-01 can be used transparently, no addressing or set up of AD-01 using the M-Bus protocol is necessary.
• The primary address should be set to 0 to avoid addressing of the AD-01 unit.

AD-01 as repeater

AD-01 can be used as repeater for M-Bus. The M-Bus master interface can extend the network with up to 120 new slave loads.

Consider the following points.

• AD-01 can be used transparently, no addressing or set up of AD-01 using the M-Bus protocol is necessary.
• The primary address should be set to 0 to avoid addressing of the AD-01 unit.

AD-01 and connection to SIOX networks

AD-01 can be used to connect a M-Bus network to a SIOX network.
Consider the following points

• AD-01 can be used transparently, no addressing or set up of AD-01 using the M-Bus protocol is necessary.
• The primary address should be set to 0 to avoid addressing of the AD-01 unit.
• AD-01 should only be used in datarate using protocol mode since autobaud is not possible when receiving SIOX commands.

AD-01 to extend a network with a modem link

Two AD-01 units can be used to extend an existing network with any type of modem link.

Consider the following points.

• AD-01 can be used transparently, no addressing or set up of AD-01 using the M-Bus protocol is necessary.
• The primary address should be set to 0 to avoid addressing of the AD-01 unit.
• Observe that if a dial-up modem is used the supervision system needs to send dial commands to the modem. The supervision system must also control that a link is established before sending data over the link.

AD-01 as zone controller

AD-01 can be used as zone controller to build larger M-Bus networks.
Consider the following points.

• AD-01 is addressed and set up by the supervision system
• AD-01 can be addressed with primary or secondary address
• If meters with different data rate is used the AD-01 should be set up for autobaud.
