Why Choose the ABB INS-WM Wireless M-Bus Module?
The ABB INS-WM is a compact Wireless M-Bus communication module designed for the ABB InSite energy-management system. It extends compatible InSite installations with wireless meter connectivity, enabling consumption data from remote metering devices to be incorporated into a central energy-monitoring solution.
Designed as a plug-in expansion module for the ABB SCU200 control unit, the INS-WM can collect data from up to 16 Wireless M-Bus field devices. Compatible applications include electricity, gas and water meters, allowing multiple utility measurements to be integrated into a wider building or facility energy-management system.
The INS-WM communicates with the InSite system through the InSiteModularBus and includes a connection for an external antenna. Its DIN-rail system architecture and tool-free integration with the SCU200 provide a practical way to add Wireless M-Bus functionality to new or existing InSite installations. ABB order code 2CCG001171R0001 identifies this dedicated wireless communication module.

Wireless Meter Integration for ABB InSite
The ABB INS-WM expands the InSite platform beyond directly wired monitoring devices by providing a gateway for compatible Wireless M-Bus meters. This enables utility-consumption information from remotely located electricity, gas and water meters to be collected and incorporated into a unified monitoring environment.
Its ability to communicate with up to 16 Wireless M-Bus field devices makes the module particularly useful in commercial buildings, residential developments and industrial facilities where several meters need to be monitored without installing additional communication cabling between every meter and the central control system.
