MBS presents new universal gateways for LCN and KNX + M-Bus

MBS presents new universal gateways for LCN and KNX + M-Bus

The new Universal Gateways combine the proven functionality of MBS products with exceptional customization capabilities in a small and robust metal housing.

With the two universal gateways LCN and KNX + M-Bus, the building automation specialist from Krefeld is expanding its gateway portfolio with two versatile and upgradeable devices.

"The link between different protocol languages and technologies is becoming increasingly important in building technology," explains Nils-Gunnar Fritz, CEO of MBS GmbH. "We are therefore continuing to expand our Universal Gateway series," he continues. "The LCN gateway with integrated USB coupler for connection to LCN (Local Control Network) enables simple connection of the LCN system to existing bus systems and, with the option of semi-automatic configuration, commissioning the gateway is then just a small matter," adds Fritz.

With the integrated protocol hardware adapters for M-Bus and KNX, the KNX + M-Bus gateway makes it possible to connect M-Bus meters to a KNX bus without additional hardware. This significantly reduces cabling and installation costs.
