# 16.13 M-Bus ### Overview M-Bus or Meter-Bus is a protocol for the remote reading of water, gas, or electricity meters. M-Bus is also usable for other types of consumption meters, such as heating systems or water meters. The M-Bus interface is made for communication on two wires, making it cost-effective. M-bus over TCP is also supported. When configured, meters will deliver the data they have collected to a WCC Lite RTU that is connected at periodic intervals (scan\_rate\_ms) to read all utility meters. ### Configuration ##### M-Bus parameters for the *Device* tab
