Achieve accurate energy management and monitoring for every situation with ista's comprehensive M-Bus system.

Our system technology enables centralised, continuous reading of up to 2,000 meters. This means you can effectively control energy consumption by having constant access to consumption values, rather than just once a year. The symfonic mbus system offers the perfect solution for continuous, reliable monitoring.

The three devices of ista's symphonic mbus – one system for efficient energy management.

The symphonic mbus is ista's innovative M-Bus system that offers a centralised solution for accurate meter readings of heat, water, electricity and gas consumption. With the ability to connect up to 2,000 consumption recording devices, the symphonic mbus offers a convenient and reliable solution for intelligent energy management.

sensonic® 3 mbus is the electronic heat meter for recording individual heat consumption. This meter stands out thanks to its compact, attractive design, the latest electronics and variable installation options.

istameter mbus or domaqua® mbus offer accurate measurements and simple processing of hot or cold water thanks to their modular design, giving managers and planners unlimited versatility.

The pulsonic plus P4.0 with mbus module is used to connect electricity, gas and water meters without their own mbus interface to the mbus system. On the selected recording date, the consumption values are recorded and stored.

How does it work?

ista's symphonic M-Bus system operates at an advanced level and enables multiple utility meters, including heat, water, electricity and gas meters, to be monitored centrally and in real time. This system uses a master-slave architecture, whereby one master device communicates with up to 2,000 slave devices (meters) and collects and processes data via the M-Bus network (Meter Bus). This wired bus system ensures reliable and secure data transmission, which is encrypted for added security. The M-Bus is designed for minimal energy consumption and can operate over long cable distances, supporting a variety of building layouts.

Technical features

  • Supports up to 2000 metres for extensive network configurations.
  • Collects energy consumption data silently without physical access to homes.
  • Provides real-time access to consumption data for improved management.
  • Uses advanced encryption to secure data transmission via the M-Bus network.
  • Offers flexible wiring options for different architectural configurations.
