MM20-GSM is communication device intended for remote readout over GSM/GPRS connection:
– devices on M-Bus line with M-Bus protocol (heat, water, electric, gas meters...)
– devices on RS-485 line with transparent or Modbus RTU protocol (PLCs, I/O modules, pumps...)
M-Bus port is galvanically isolated and designed to withstand short circuit on M-Bus line. RS-485 port can be configured to convert Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU protocol. Device setup can be done locally or remotely over SMS messages or telnet service using the TCP protocol on port 23. LED indications show device status and can be used for complete diagnostic. Depending on version, power supply is 9-30V DC or 230V AC. Device is prepared for 35mm DIN rail mounting and it is fully adjusted for industrial communications, automation processes and telemetry.

MM20-GSM acts on M-bus line as standard M-Bus master device which can sustain up to 20 M-Bus slave devices. Simultaneously with readout of M-Bus slave devices, it can communicate with devices on RS-485 line. GSM/GPRS communication is carried out via microcontroller controlled GSM module which enables multiple UDP/TCP server connections. M-Bus and RS-485 ports can be assigned to one of these connections. MM20-GSM is designed to work with fixed IP addresses in VPN (Virtual Private Network).
PC, over serial connection and GSM modem, or LAN connection and 2G/3G router, connects to GSM/GPRS VPN network. Client software sends UDP/TCP packets with requests for RS-485 and M-Bus devices. MM20-GSM converter extracts serial requests from UDP/TCP packets and sends it to RS-485 and M-Bus ports. Responses from serial ports are packed by MM20-GSM device in to UDP/TCP packets and sent back to client software.
