CMc IP Box

CMc IP Box

The CMc IP Box offers a fully assembled solution for remote meter reading in fixed networks. The model combines the CMe3000 M-Bus Gateway with an M-Bus Master from the CMeX10-13S Series. The CMc IP Box acts as a communication tunnel which, depending on the variant, can connect up to 256 meters to another gateway or software via LAN.

The CMc IP Box is easy to install and configure. It is the perfect solution to use in fixed networks. It also offers an ideal solution for energy suppliers who want to implement reliable and efficient remote meter reading.

Elvaco's CMc IP Box is made up of our M-Bus Gateway CMe3000 and an M-Bus Master from the CMeX10-13S Series, fully assembled in a protective enclosure upon delivery. This turn-key solution acts as a communication tunnel which connects up to 256 meters with a receiving system. The Box can be equipped with our WIreless M-Bus Receiver CMeX50 to enable communication with Wireless M-Bus meters.
