M-BUS MEdiA
EN
In a standard configuration, an M-BUS
connection can be used to link up to 250* products with
a PC or PLC, over a range of 1000 metres**.
* depending on the M-BUS master
** depending on the number of products and the
communication speed
Recommendations
The use of a JYSTY Nx2x0.8 mm (0.5 mm²) unshielded
twisted pair is recommended.
If the range of 1000 m and/or the limit of 250 products
are exceeded, a repeater will need to be connected.
→ if the 250 limit is exceeded: only use the secon-
dary address.
M-BUS protocol
The M-BUS protocol operates using a master/slave
structure.
COUNTIS (slave) units are compatible with both pri-
mary and secondary addressing modes.

Option to broadcast to addresses 254 and 255.
In addition, M-BUS COUNTIS units are OMS-
