Reading instantaneous values allows the monitoring of media. Therefore, consumption meters have to be read more often, and further values are interesting beyond the counter value. There is additional information like instantaneous power, flow rate or flow temperature, which is important. 

For this reason, all data have to be provided in a processable form . Consequently, a conversion of M-Bus or wM-Bus into another data format like Modbus TCP or BACnet/IPV is useful.
