  • Product description

    Modular three-phase multifunction energy meter | 100 A | 3×230/400 V | M-Bus | MID | DIN | VEXEN ESM3100DMB

    The VEXEN ESM3100DMB is a modular three-phase multifunction energy meter for direct connection in 3×230/400 V networks up to 100 A with M-Bus interface. It is designed for metering and network parameter monitoring in boards where data must be passed over an M-Bus network.

    Key point:
    In addition to kWh and kVArh the meter shows voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency and THD, so one device replaces both a meter and a simple network analyser. It is MID certified (EU-type examination certificate 0120/SGS0448).

    Bidirectional metering
    The manufacturer's documentation lists the measured values as kWh / kVArh, but separate import and export (consumed and delivered) energy registers are not explicitly named. If energy exported to the grid must be measured separately, confirm the register list before ordering; the confirmed import / export meter in this line is the ESM3100DM.

    Communication interfaces and integration

    M-Bus (EN 13757-3)
    Integration into an M-Bus automatic meter reading (AMR) system together with heat and water meters; primary (001–250) and secondary addressing, 300–9600 bps.
    For RS485 Modbus RTU systems
    The manufacturer designates this model as the M-Bus version; for RS485 Modbus RTU integration choose the ESM3100DM2T.

    Operating principle

    The meter is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail and the phase conductors are connected directly (power terminals 4–25 mm²) – no current transformers are needed up to 100 A.

    The electronic circuit measures the voltage and current of all phases and calculates power, energy and quality values.

    Data are shown on the display and transmitted over M-Bus.

    Why choose the VEXEN ESM3100DMB?
    With one device you get MID energy metering plus remote visibility of load, phase voltages or THD. M-Bus lets the electricity meter share the same bus as heat and water meters.

    Main functions

    • M-Bus interface – remote reading of registers and parameters.
    • MID certificate – to EN 50470-1/-3, suitable for billing between parties.
    • Multifunction measurements – V, A, kW, kVAr, kVA, PF, Hz, THD and demand.
    • Direct connection up to 100 A – no current transformers.
    • Active and reactive energy – kWh and kVArh registers.
    • Bus addressing – primary and secondary M-Bus address.

    How does it differ from similar models?

    VEXEN ESM3100DMB2T Also M-Bus and multifunction, plus 2 tariffs by power source and 2 pulse outputs.
    VEXEN ESM3100DM2T Multifunction with 2 tariffs, but with RS485 Modbus RTU instead of M-Bus.
    VEXEN ESM3100DM Modbus RTU, import / export kWh, but no multifunction measurements.
    Eastron SDM630-MT 100 A, 4 tariffs, RS485 Modbus, MID; the ESM3100DMB is intended for M-Bus systems.

    Where is it used?

    • Remote metering in commercial buildings and offices
    • Sub-metering of apartment blocks and rented premises in M-Bus systems
    • Building management systems (BMS)
    • Production halls and equipment energy monitoring
    • Heat substations and building services
    • EV charging infrastructure
    • Energy audits and load analysis
    • Server rooms and technical rooms

    Use by need

    Facility managers.
    The electricity meter is read over the same M-Bus as heat and water meters.
    Electricians and integrators.
    Direct 100 A connection and a standard protocol – fewer components in the board.
    Energy managers.
    Voltage, current, PF and THD help find overloaded phases and quality issues.

    Practical application

    If an apartment block already runs an M-Bus reading system for heat and water meters, the VEXEN ESM3100DMB is connected to the same bus and electricity readings are collected together with the other meters.

    Pros

    • MID certificate (EN 50470-1/-3)
    • M-Bus interface
    • Multifunction measurements including THD
    • Direct connection up to 100 A
    • Primary and secondary M-Bus addressing
    • Power terminals 4–25 mm²

    Cons / limitations

    • This is the M-Bus version – for Modbus RTU systems choose the ESM3100DM2T
    • The manufacturer does not name dual-source tariffs – for that choose the ESM3100DMB2T
    • Separate import / export registers are not named in the manufacturer's documentation – separate import / export metering is confirmed for the ESM3100DM
    • Currents above 100 A require a CT meter (ES3100DCT)

    Safety and installation notes

    • Installation and wiring must be done by a qualified electrician with the circuit isolated and verified dead.
    • Install an upstream protective device (MCB or fuses) sized to the cable cross-section and load – the meter is not a protective device.
    • Follow the phase and neutral wiring diagram in the manufacturer's manual; swapped inputs and outputs distort the readings.
    • Tighten the power terminals to the specified torque – a loose contact at 100 A overheats and can damage the meter.
    • Do not break the seals or open the front cover – this affects the measurement and, according to the manufacturer's manual, voids the warranty.

    Quick selection guide

    100 A direct
    M-Bus
    Multifunction
    MID
    Suitable when you need:
    • M-Bus remote reading
    • multifunction network measurements
    • MID metering up to 100 A
    Check before use:
    • that the circuit current does not exceed 100 A
    • that the M-Bus master supports EN 13757-3
    • that there is enough space in the board
    Important reminder: The meter measures and transmits data but performs no protective functions and does not replace the grid operator's billing meter without the operator's consent.
