Installation 2.1 Functional Principle PW100 2.2 Mounting The PW100 housing is mounted on a TS35 top-hat rail. The width of the housing is 6 horizontal pitches (6 HP) on the rail and, due to the low height of 60 mm, not only fits into a control cabinet, but also in a meter cabinet under the covers. The device requires an external power supply of approx. 42VDC. We strongly recommend using our NT016 power supply. If the PW100 is operated with another power supply, the function of the PW100 may be disturbed. The NT016 also has a height of 60 mm and a width of only two module unit (2 HP). PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 3 2.3 Connectors The following figure shows the top view of the connectors: PW100 All terminals are pluggable and thus make wiring and replacement of the PW100 easier in the event of a fault. Attention: Please make sure to put the clamps back in the correct place after removing them. Incorrectly positioned terminals can lead to defects. Upper terminals (from left to right): Typ POWER M-BUS Signal + / - / + Beschreibung Output voltage of the power supply 42VDC (mind the polarity) Protective conductor (earth) for symmetry and protection of the M-Bus M-Bus output, wires to the M-Bus meters, 3 pairs of parallel connections Lower terminals (from left to right): Typ ETHERNET RS485 USB RS232 2 RS232 1 M-BUS REPEATER Signal B- / A+ / GND TX / RX / GND TX / RX / GND Beschreibung 10/100MBit RJ45 Ethernet socket for network connection RS485 Interface, 2-wire, B = - / A = + / GND = ground reference USB connector of the internal USB-to-RS232 converter (FTDI) RS232C Interface No. 2, TX = PC transmits, RX = PC receives, GND RS232C Interface No. 1, TX = PC transmits, RX = PC receives, GND M-Bus Repeater input for network extension PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 4 PW100 2.4 LED indicators There are in total six LEDs in the front part showing the status of the M-Bus. A lighted LED has the following meaning: POWER TRANSMITTING RECEIVING MAX CURRENT SHORT CIRCUIT M-BUS ACTIVE The M-Bus output voltage is switched on. The Master transmits data. Minimum one meter replies with data. The maximum number of connectable meters is exceeded (warning). M-Bus over current / short circuit (2 Hz flashing) One interface is active and exclusively occupies the M-Bus. Two LEDs in the RJ45 Ethernet socket show the state of the network and the virtual comport. The LEDs have a reduced intensity of 20% of the normal value without a connected network cable. Once a network is connected, the brightness changes to 100%. The most important flash patterns have the following meaning: No connection established A connection is active A connection is established and a communication is active Device Server performs a restart You can find all other patterns in the online help of the DS Manager (F1-button) in the chapter "Firmware Manuals / Device Server Application Firmware / Status LED Signals (Red = Green / Green = Yellow). PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 5 PW100 3. Description of functions The PW100 is a transparent Level Converter from several interfaces to M-Bus for up to 100 meters. The device allows external connected controllers such as a building control, a DDC or a PC to read the connected meters by use of an M-Bus software (not in scope of delivery). The PW100 can also be used as a Repeater for extension of M-Bus networks relating to the cable length and number of meters. 3.1 Interface multiplexer / switch An internal microcontroller handles the bus control to just give one interface access to the M-Bus even with multiple connected interfaces. This ensures that systems do not interfere with each other during the communication, when two or more systems are connected, for example a BMS via RS485 and a PC via USB. This automatic switch operates on the principle "first come, first served", i.e. when an interface sends a signal to the M-Bus, this interface takes control of the M-Bus and has exclusive access to communication. The "ACTIVE" labeled LED indicates the activity status of the internal interface switch. While the LED is lit, one of the six possible interfaces is active. The other interfaces are disabled at this time and cannot access the M-Bus. The active interface remains enabled about 3 seconds after the last communication. Another interface can occupy the M-Bus as soon as the LED goes off. 3.2 RS232C interfaces The PW100 has two independent RS232C interfaces, both of them as a 9-pin D-SUB as 3-pin screw terminals. The RS232C pin assignments are: RX = PC transmits to M-Bus, TX = PC receives from M-Bus, GND = Signal ground If you want to connect a D-SUB cable, please use the additional, optional cable KA006 with 3 open wires. To link to a PC (1: 1 connection), connect the 3 wires as follows: D-SUB Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 6 Pin 7 Pin 8 Pin 9 Signal DCD (data carrier detect) RXD (PC receives data) TXD (PC transmits data) DTR (data terminal ready) GND (signal ground) DSR (date set ready) RTS (request to send) CTS (clear to send) RI (ring indicator) Funktion PW100 unused M-Bus sends data to PC PC receives data from M-Bus unused GND unused unused unused unused Farbe (Klemme) Green (TX) Yellow (RX) Black (GND) PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 6 PW100 3.3 RS485 Interface A 2-wire RS485 interface will be connected to the RS485 terminals (A = + and B = -). Please note that this is a transparent interface without addressing on the RS485 bus. The direction control of the half-duplex 2-wire connection is realized that the PW100 is passive in the idle state (receiver on, transmitter off) and becomes on transmitted data from M-Bus meters (receiver off, transmitter on). The level converter remains active on the RS485 for approximately 50ms after the last transmitted space (0-Bit) of the slave. The master software should not start a new request to the connected meters during this period. The RS485 bus is not terminated in the PW100. If a termination is required, an appropriately dimensioned external resistor, e.g. 120 can be connected between terminals A + and B-. 3.4 Repeater Interface The PW100 can be used as a so-called Repeater, as a network extension for existing M-Bus systems, if the maximum number of meters or the maximum cable length has been exceeded for the installation. Up to 100 devices and up to 4km cable (1 x 2 x 0.8 JYSTY) at 2400 baud transmission speed can be connected to a repeater. The M-Bus line of the existing master or level converter is connected to the terminals labelled with M-Bus Repeater. The polarity does not matter - as usable and standardized for M-Bus slaves. The signal at the M-Bus output of the PW100 is reconditioned to connect a complete M-Bus network. An almost unlimited number of repeaters can be cascaded or connected in parallel due to the automatic measurement of the maximum transmission speed and the recovery of bit times (bit recovery) by the digital repeater. This allows nearly unlimited M-Bus networks. PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 7 PW100 3.5 USB interface The USB device port of the PW100 is as a USB 2.0 connector type B available on the front of the housing. Please use a USB cable with a type A plug on one end and a type B plug on the other side (not supplied) to connect a PC. You must install the software driver for the virtual COM port before you can use the USB interface. This simulates a serial port that you can use as usual in your M-Bus software. You can find the driver on our CD "Tools & Docs", on our homepage www.relay.de or directly from FTDI Chip, the manufacturer of the used USB chip: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers (here you will also find drivers for Linux and Mac OS). Please unpack the ZIP file after download. Install the drivers by clicking on the unzipped file in the File Explorer with the right mouse button and select the menu item "Run as administrator" (example file name is: CDM212364_Setup.exe). Now you can connect the PC. The USB driver for the PW100 is installed automatically and generates a new, virtual COM port. The new COM port number of the USB serial port is displayed after the installation is finished (here: COM29). You can look up this number at any time in the Device Manager under ports (USB Serial Port) and - if desired change it in the advanced settings of the driver. Please select the appropriate comport number in your M-Bus software. PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 8 PW100 3.6 Ethernet interface The Ethernet interface of the PW100 converts the physical interface Ethernet 10/100BaseT to M-Bus and the TCP / IP protocol to the serial protocol. The Ethernet interface is available in the front panel as an 8-pin RJ45 socket. The PW100 can be integrated into an existing local network and the M-Bus meters can be read from one or more PCs in that network. This requires the so-called "Tibbo Device Server Toolkit" to be installed on that PC. With this software the Ethernet interface is configured in the PW100 and a virtual COM port is set up. This simulated serial interface enables the use of the usual M-Bus software designed for normal serial interfaces. Please perform the following steps of installation: 3.6.1 IT preparations The IT division of the network containing the PW100 must define the following items: Fixed IP address must be identical to the IP range of the reading computer. Only the last number must be different. (e.g. 192.168.1.239) You need also the subnet mask and IP address of the gateway if the IP addresses are reassigned by a gateway. The converter uses the port 1001 by default for the TCP protocol. This port must not be blocked by any firewall. You can find your own IP address in your network this way: Start Run: cmd <OK> PW100 · User Manual Version 1.1 - 11/2023 9 PW100 Input: ipconfig <enter> Own IP address and subnet mask will be shown 3.6.2 Software installation You can find the driver software on our CD "Tools&Docs", on our homepage www.relay.de or directly at the manufacturer´s site: https://tibbo.com/support/downloads/tdst.html.
