These notes have been created post the initial installation testing of the MBus driver. It is hoped to provide assistance in future installations. Please read the accompanying instruction/documentation and install as directed.
The Device property "Fc Bit In Use" can be set for all meters unless the device manufacturer specifies otherwise.
These are the units that interface between the Jace/PC and the MBus Network using the RS232 Serial port.
Dip switch settings S1 = all off, S2.1 & SW2.2= On (S2.3-S2.5 = off).
Serial interface plugged into 9 Pin D type.
MBus Connected to pins 4 & 5 of MBus connection block.
Mains Supply to pins N & L.

Note:- Manufacturer Specific Data is NOT supported on this device. This data is not defined in the manufacturers specification.
Secondary discovery requires manufacturer code of ABB to be used.
For this communication method use "BMbusTcpIpNetwork" instead of the "BMbusNetwork" and set up the "Ip Address" in the properties as required for the unit. Note:- this includes the port number, which follows the IP part prefixed by a colon.
Refer to manual
Use the built in Web Server to obtain a set of example reading from the meter, for use in establishing what the manufacturer properties represent.
This meter used Manufacturer specific data, a primary address of "0".
If secondary discovery is used the manufacturers ID of "ABB" without quotes should be used as a parameter.
Following reading of the data, examine the data and set up the Scaling Factor to give the correct readings.
Manufacturer Specific89 was found to represent the Frequency and had to be rescaled by 0.01.
Manufacturer Specific24 was found to be the Power Fail Counter no rescaling required, left at 1.0.
Manufacturer Specific96 was found to be the Power Factor value, and had to be rescaled by 0.001.
The following meters have had their Manufacturers Specific Data included in the driver. This data has minor variations to that of the fully tested Kamstrup Multical meter and thus has been deemed suitable for release at Beta level.
Kamstrup Multical III , Kamstrup Multical Compact , Kamstrup Multical 401, Kamstrup 162 , Kamstrup 382, Kamstrup 351 Combi
