CHESTER M-Bus is a powerful wireless gateway for remote reading of M-Bus meters. It connects directly to standard M-Bus devices such as electricity, heat, water, or gas meters and transfers data over NB-IoT, LTE-M, or LoRaWAN to the cloud.
Applications: accurate and reliable metering of thermal energy, water, or gas in residential and industrial environments, etc.
M-Bus connection
Wired connection to standard M-Bus devices using integrated MIKROE-3880 converter
Multiple device support
Communicates with up to multiple M-Bus meters
Reliable power supply
Operates from a 36 VDC external power source for continuous, industrial-grade use
Configurable reporting
Meter readouts can be scheduled periodically
In plastics production, conveyors are often used for granulation, where the granulate is transferred through a pipe directly from the hopper. In this case, a scale can be placed under the hopper and monitored to see precisely how the material in the hopper is decreasing.
In production, it is also possible to weigh crates of products or entire pallets. This makes it possible to identify whether all products are on the pallet or if any are missing. Thanks to continuous measurement, predicting when the pallet is full and needs to be replaced with an empty one is possible. For example, this method is also used when packaging various products with many smaller components.
Another use of the HARDWARIO CHESTER Scale is weighing gas cylinders. Even if the cylinder is heavy, regular measurements can show differences in filling loss. This makes it possible to predict when the cylinder will be empty and must be replaced.
Real-time monitoring and control of machines and production lines
Consolidated data collection from multiple meters in a facility or warehouse
Reliable telemetry from heat substations and distributed meter points
