3. INTRODUCTION
3.1. PRODUCT PRESENTATION
The MB-IP module allows to connect the entire range of M-Bus modules (except the
MB-BT – Bluetooth) on a PC or a PLC with USB or Ethernet through and ASCII
protocol or with MODBUS-TCP.
Up to 254 inputs can be connected.
A footswitch ref 18020 can be also connected on the MB-IP.
The power supply is done through an external power transformer
3.2. CARACTERISTICS

Version 1.0
3.2.2. Dimensions and installation
The M-Bus modules are made on a robust aluminium profile.
All the M-Bus modules are designed and must be installed on a standard DIN rail
(7.5*35) in order to ensure a correct fixation.

3.2.1. Contains of the packaging
The MB-IP package contains :
- 1 MB-IP module
- 1 USB cable
- 1 transformer + 1 power supply cable
- 1 Mini-CD including USB driver and this user manual

Version 1.0
4. CONNECTORS
USB Full-Speed with
ASCII protocol
(Creates a virtual
COM PORT)
Ethernet with ASCII or
modbus TCP.
RJ45 connector.
Footswitch input
Power supply
connector
12-30 VDC
Reset button

4.1. THE USB FULL-Speed CONNECTOR
This section is useful to setup the IP address of the module, or if you intend to use the MB-IP
with the USB connection.
Connecting the MB-IP on the computer with USB will create a virtual COM Port.
Follow the following instructions before using the MB-IP :
1- Launch the file « driver USB.exe » located in the directory « Driver USB » on the mini-
cd.
2- Connect the MB-IP to your computer through the USB cable, a with the power supply.
The following message appears few seconds after:
3- A COM PORT (USB SERIAL PORT) appears in the device manager menu.
(Configuration panel Device manager Ports (COM & LPT)
You can then note the COM port number. It can be useful later for the configuration of
your acquisition software.

Version 1.0
5. COMMUNICATION - ASCII PROTOCOL
The ASCII protocol allows to identify the modules on the bus, to read individually the
probes, to read the inputs status of an I/O module, to write on a output of an I/O
module etc…
All the commands ends by <CR> (Ascii $0D)
5.1. Network setting : IP address, mask and gateway setup
To enable the Ethernet communication, The IP address of the computer has to be
specified to the module. The USB link is firstly used to set the correct IP address.
The following commands allows to set the IP address and networks parameters :
IP address:
o Command : @IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX<$0D> with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
= IP address of the MB-IP like 192.168.001.001
Subnet mask:
o Command : @MK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX<$0D> with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
= subnet mask address of the MB-IP like 255.255.255.000
Gateway:
o Command : @GW=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX<$0D> with
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX = Gateway address of the MB-IP like
192.168.000.001
From this moment, the Ethernet communication is available.
5.2. Identification of the M-Bus modules
Before reading the probes, it is necessary to identify the connected modules on the
MB-IP. This has to be done only the first time.
Up to 254 input can be connected. The address of the input will thus be from 00 to
FE.
Identify a module:
o Command : @NY=XX<$0D> with XX = address of the first channel in
hexadecimal
o Move the first probe of the module or press the ID button depending on
the module you use.
