478 Using Type Translators
To create a custom M-Bus type translation based on one of the pre-defined translations, select the
source translation from the list, click Copy Rule, enter a name for the custom M-Bus type translation,
and then modify the M-Bus type translation to fit your application.
In this example, the MBS_HYDROMETER_SCAMPY_1 is used. This translation converts an
M-Bus UCPT_MBS8 input data point to SNVT_vol_f and SNVT_flow_f output data points. You add
an M-Bus UCPT_MBS8 data point to the list of input points and SNVT_vol_f and SNVT_flow_f data
points to the list of output points.
If the input data point for the M-Bus device does not use the UCPT_MBUS8 format, you can
dynamically add a data point with the correct type to match your device. To do this, follow these
steps:
1. Right click the VirtFB functional block icon and click Add Data Point on the shortcut menu.
The Add Data Point dialog opens.
2. Expand the Dynamic folder, expand the /lonworks/types/user/echelon folder, expand the
mbus_integrator folder, expand the Configuration Property Types folder, select the
UCPT_MBUS8 data point, and then click OK.
3. Click Submit.
