gateway. The configuration of both StartKits is the same.
StartKit1: PiiGAB 810/5 (five M-Bus loads)
StartKit2: PiiGAB 810/20 (twenty M-Bus loads)
Requirments

Change IP-address of your PiiGAB 810 gateway
In case you don’t have a network with DHCP you can also address your PiiGAB 810 with a static IP-
address. For this you also need to set your computer to a static IP-address.
Note: For this setup you might need to have a cross-over Ethernet cable between your computer and
the PiiGAB 810 gateway. To be safe you can use a network switch between your computer and your
PiiGAB 810 gateway.
Alter the IP-configuration for your PiiGAB 810
1. Set your computer to a static IP-address
2. Exit and restart PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard and go to the main menu
3. Select Change gateway IP-settings
4. Press Next to continue
5. Select Setup IP using network (UDP broadcast)
6. In the MAC-address field specify the PiiGAB 810 gateway’s MAC-address
7. Press Next to continue

8. Select Use the following IP-address
9. Specify the IP-configuration you which the PiiGAB 810 gateway should have to match your
computer’s IP-address
10. Press Next to continue
11. Press Apply to set the IP-configuration
12. Wait for the PiiGAB 810 gateway to reboot
13. Press Next to continue
14. Go back to Find your PiiGAB 810 on your network section and see if you can find your PiiGAB 810
gateway with the IP-address you specified

PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard –M-Bus communication
This section will use PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard to verify if the PiiGAB 810 and RELAY PadPulse M2
responses over M-Bus communication.
1. In the main menu select Test, search and configure meters
2. Press Next to continue
3. Select Connect using network and configure the connection as shown in the picture below
Note: Your PiiGAB 810’s IP-address may not be 192.168.10.122. PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard only fill in
the IP-address automatically as you selected in Find your PiiGAB 810 on your network, step 6.
4. Click Next to continue

M-Bus communication with RELAY PadPulse M2
RELAY’s PadPulse M2 can handle two pulse meters. Both pulse meters have their own M-Bus
connection. By default, according to EN13757, both M-Bus connections have primary address set to 0.
The image above displays the search window in PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard. You can use it to search M-
bus meters on the M-Bus loop.
In the image above you can see that the PadPulse M2 has two primary addresses both set to 0.
Part of the Identify value can also be found inside the PadPulse M2 itself.

12
StartKit1_2.E.1.13
Change primary address of PadPulse M2
To start communicating with both pulse meter, one of them must have their primary address changed.
When changing the primary address on one of the pulse meter, the other one will remain on primary
address 0.
1. Configure these options as seen in the picture below
2. Press the Set button to change the primary address on one of the pulse meters

13
StartKit1_2.E.1.13
The picture above shows that one of the pulse meter now has 1 as primary address.
Read both primary and secondary address from RELAY PadPulseM2
1. Configure PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard as one of the images under
2. Press the Find button to test primary address 0 or 1
3. Try both primary address and make sure there is a working connection to both of them
Further RELAY PadPulse M2 configuration
To further configure RELAY’s PadPulse M2 you’ll require their configuration software MBConf. Please
also see the manual for the PadPulse M2 how configure it. You can find both the manual and the
software in the RELAY’s Tools and Docs CD.

PiiGAB Explorer / M-Bus OPC-server –M-Bus communication
When the M-Bus communication is confirmed with PiiGAB M-Bus Setup Wizard, you may use PiiGAB
Explorer to see what is possible to read RELAY’s PadPulse M2. You can also use PiiGAB Explorer’s built in
OPC-client to read the values from RELAY’s PadPulse M2.
Try the StartKit1_2 example project in PiiGAB Explorer
1. Start PiiGAB Explorer
2. Go to File menu and press the Open button
3. Browse to the local folder and open PiiGABStartKit1_2.xml
4. Go to File menu and press Set As Active Project
This will set the PiiGABStartKit1_2.xml as the active project for the OPC-server. You may look around in
this project and see a default configuration of RELAY’s PadPulse M2.
For instance look at the configuration for each meter in the project:
PadPulse M2 P1 RELAY’s PadPulse M2 pulse meter with primary address 0
PadPulse M2 P2 RELAY’s PadPulse M2 pulse meter with primary address 1

RELAY’s PadPulse M2
Note:
The PadPulse M2 gateway is by default configured for an energy pulse meter (Wh * 0001). To change
the gateways configuration, please see the PadPulse M2’s manual.
The configuration in PiiGAB Explorer for the PadPulse M2 is the most default and generic as possible.
The two accumulators in the PadPulse M2 are represented as Value in PiiGAB Explorer.
Note: This section expects the pulse meters have their own primary addresses set to 0 and 1.
Monitor one of the pulse meters
1. Click the PadPulse M2 P1 node or PadPulse M2 P2 node in PiiGAB Explorers tree structure
2. Press the Start Monitor button or go to Tools and press Start monitor
3. Wait for the Quality field to change to Good
4. Press the Stop Monitor button or go to Tools and press Stop monitor to terminate the
monitor function
5. Wait for the server to properly terminate
