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.

MBS at the Hannover Messe 2017

MBS will be showcasing its product range for industrial and building automation solutions at the Hannover Messe in Hall 9, Stand D68

The exhibits will include three universal gateways from the current Triple-X series, each with two additional, integrated protocol hardware adapters. The standard gateway from the Krefeld-based manufacturer is extended by the PROFINET+LON, PROFINET+KNX or PROFINET+M-Bus adapters. The integration of the adapters eliminates the need for the usual external bus couplers, reducing the amount of cabling required. The MBS gateways can also be connected more quickly to serial or network-based communication protocols. Furthermore, a PROFINET|Modbus and a PROFINET|BACnet gateway for visualization will be shown in a live application.
