- [W-MBUS] I have one development board Wireless M-Bus (RC1140) that we got in 2010. HW version 1.2. I’m pretty sure this is out of date in software revision. Could you please advise latest FW revision and procedure to upgrade?
- [W-MBUS] “In your mbus manual wrote (pag 4): “”In OMS (MBUS3) the master sends a command with its own address as Link Layer Address, and the slaves address as Application Layer Address.”” You mean that only long Appl header (12 byte) containing the slave address is granted ? If I got it the MUC and slaves have same link address (i.e MUC address) .. is it correct? Does your mailbox feature use this format ? “
- [W-MBUS] “We are interested in using Radiocrafts modules in our product. We need to install around 150+ sensors per house which are connected to one concentrator (master) device. Sensor are small and therefore using external antenna is not an option which may be problematic when using 169MHz? Those sensors are installed into houses with concrete walls and range requirements are therefore at least 150+ meters in NLOS situations. We are considering to use Wireless M-BUS protocol or some similar which do not require acknowledgements from the sensor. We prefer sub 1-GHz radio because of coverage. Could you suggest some of your modules which support 150+ slaves in one network and extended range at least 150+ meters in urban area? Please also take into account our antenna limitations. “
