Introduction
Background and scope of M-Bus user documentation.
The public M-Bus documentation is organized into introduction, serial bus basics, M-Bus overview, physical layer, data link layer, application layer, network layer and appendix. This page is a short signpost, not a copied manual.
The public documentation itself notes that it reflects late-1990s M-Bus specification material and is for information only; current product design should refer to the official current specification.
Background and scope of M-Bus user documentation.
Topology, access techniques, synchronization and error handling.
Meter-bus requirements and OSI-layer mapping.
