1 Introduction 

This manual contains information about an M-Bus protocol in the iSMA-B-AAC20 controllers.  
M-Bus  devices  can  be  connected  directly  only  to  the  iSMA-B-AAC20-M  hardware  version 
with the M-Bus interface (max. 20 devices) and with firmware version 5.1 and above. The M-
Bus devices can also be connected to all iSMA-B-AAC20 controllers with firmware 5.1 and 
above using M-Bus-IP gateway.

2 M-Bus Kit 

To serve the M-Bus protocol (connected either to the Local interface or by the IP gateway) 
the iSMA-B-AAC20 controller uses the iSMA_MBus kit. 

 
2.1 Installation of the iSMA M-Bus Kit 

To  install  the  M-Bus  kit,  import  the  kit  to  the  iSMA  Tool  software (possibly  as  part  of  the 
package of the various kits in a zip file). To do this, use an application from the Sedona  -> 
Import Sedona Files. 

After  a  successful  import  of  the  files,  upload  them  to  your  device  using  the  Kit  Manager 
Application from the Sedona Tools package. 

WARNING! Before programming the M-Bus Network, please check if the latest kit version is 
used. The latest kits are available at GC5 support web site: www.support.gc5.pl
