Low data rate
Low data rate
Meter data is usually small, so reliability and wiring economy matter more than speed.

What is M-Bus?
M-Bus, or Meter-Bus, is a wired bus system used for reading utility meters such as heat, water, gas and energy meters. It is practical where many low-data-rate devices must be connected reliably over cable.
Engineering summary
M-Bus is built around a master-controlled bus. Slave meters are connected in parallel to a two-wire medium and are queried by the master. This makes it useful for installations where periodic meter readout is more important than high throughput.
Central control
