Hardware specifications of MBS Gateways
MBS UGW- and multi-gateways are very powerful Mini-PCs based on ARM9-CPU. The operating system is Linux. This setup features various advantages:
- powerful CPU
- high flexibility for development
- quick reaction, special modification and individual programming possible
- hundreds of protocol combinations possible
Every protocol that is added to our portfolio can be linked to all already existing protocols. Manufacturers with proprietary protocols can easily offer couplings to BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, OPC and many other protocols with just developing one driver for an MBS gateway.

MBS UGW gateways offer one serial interface which must be set either RS232 or RS485 prior shipment.
Gateways with integrated M-Bus Masters are specified for up to 30 standard loads (30×1.5 mA). M-Bus masters with higher capacity can be connected to the a.m. serial interface.

MBS-gateways are licensed according to the amount of data points they connect.
One data point (DP) is regarded as one link between two data points. Bi-directional communication is counted as two data points.
| Model | data point capacity |
|---|---|
| UGW | up to 25 DP |
| UGW | up to 200 DP |
| UGW | up to 500 DP |
| UGW | up to 1.000 DP |
| UGW | up to 2.500 DP |
| Maxi Mk II | up to 20.000 DP |
| Maxi Mk II XL | up to 40.000 DP |
