oleks The best way to do this is by using a M-Bus OPC server, ingition doesn’t have this at present and both Matrikon and Kepware are considering it. MBS in Germany have one [http://www.mbs-software.de/en/products/opc/m-bus-opc-server/](http://www.mbs-software.de/en/products/opc/m-bus-opc-server/) PiiGAB also have one [http://www.piigab.com/en/products/software/piigab-m-bus-opc-server-explorer/](http://www.piigab.com/en/products/software/piigab-m-bus-opc-server-explorer/) you can find others with a goggle search. Bear in mind that M-Bus will need a connection in the PC via a gateway as the serial connection is non standard. PiiGAB’s offering is particularly useful as it has a TCP connection [http://www.piigab.com/en/products/hardware/piigab-m-bus-810/](http://www.piigab.com/en/products/hardware/piigab-m-bus-810/) or you could just use a M-bus to Modbus gateway and use the tools already available in ignition.
