The program is not designed for other manufacturers' meters.MiniCom 3 enables the user to set his specific parameters, such as meter address, meter ID,customer location, system date and time, tariff parameters. This is done through the communicationinterface (MBus terminal, inductive interface and optical interface).In order to use all of MiniCom 3's commands, it is necessary to be registered. If your version is notregistered, some commands will not be available and therefore you won't be able to run them.List of supported meters:· PolluTherm - energy meter - totaliser· PolluTherm (FW2) - energy meter - totaliser, firmware 2· PolluStat E - ultrasonic energy meter· PolluStat E (FW2) - ultrasonic energy meter, firmware 2· PolluCom E - compact heat meter· PolluCom E (FW2) - compact heat meter, firmware 2· HRI - a comprehensive pulse and data system for remote reading of a conventional meter· PolluMUK E - multijet universal coaxial appartment water meter· DYNAMIC Hybrid * - register for cold water meters "Hybrid"· DYNAMIC Electronic * - register for cold water meters "Electronic"· DYNAMIC Encoder MBus ** - register for cold water meters "Encoder" MBus· DYNAMIC Encoder MiniBus ** - register for cold water meters "Encoder" MiniBus· Accupuls - complementary AMR systems for pulse output meters· FM-2D/K - frequency converter· Calmex - energy meter - totaliser*) MiniCom 3 has put together DYNAMIC Hybrid and DYNAMIC Electronic under one name,DYNAMIC Hyb/Ele**) MiniCom 3 has put together DYNAMIC Encoder MBus and DYNAMIC Encoder MiniBus under onename, DYNAMIC EncoderMore information under Meter Types.MBusMiniCom 3 uses MBus protocol to communicate with meters. This protocol is defined by theinternational standard IEC-870.It is supposed that the program user understands the basic principles of MBus communication and canassess the risks of the programming within the complex MBus installation. An error can affect allconnected meter.Detailed information about MBus can be found at www.m-bus.com.MBus uses two types of addresses: primary and secondary. MiniCom 3 supports both. Some meterssupport both, while others only support the primary address. Details can be found under Meter Types.MBus communication uses the most common baudrates of 300 and 2400 bps. MiniCom 3 is able tocommunicate using both rates. Some meters support both, while others support only one. Details canbe found under Meter Types.© 2006 Sensus Metering System
