The new MBus-Master can now handle 250mA (supplying clients and TX path) and it is reliably possible to identify a 10mA swing on top of it (RX path) and convert it into a logic signal.

Switching the TX-path with 1kHz, 80% duty cycle:

Loading the TX-path with about 250mA (the current sink specifically built - see <a href="http://a385e-5.de/?p=264" title="Arduino operated Current Sink" target="_blank">here</a> - for this project is here in operation):

Finally, here are the most recent schematics of this new MBus-Master:

(The TX-test and the test for recognition of the 10mA swing have been done without the MCU at the moment.)
