Hi all, is here anyone with a knowledge to properly setup RS485/M-Bus converter from JC Elektronika?

My testing setup:

Unipi Patron M527 with Patron Node RED OS installed and libmbus 0.8.0,
80 device version of RS485toMBus-XL connected to 1.3 port RS485,
Electricity meter Inepro PRO380Mb (Addr set to 9, Bdr set to 1200).

mbus-serial-scan tool seems to find the meter:

unipi@M527-snXXX:~$ mbus-serial-scan -d -b 1200 /dev/ttymxc0 
Scanning primary addresses:
...
9 [2024-06-09 09:23:07] SEND (005): 10 40 09 49 16
[2024-06-09 09:23:07] RECV (001): E5

Found a M-Bus device at address 9
...

but mbus-serial-request-data tool is not able to read response:

unipi@M527-snXXX:~$ mbus-serial-request-data-multi-reply -d -b 1200 /dev/ttymxc0 9
main: debug: sending init frame
[2024-06-09 09:15:20] SEND (005): 10 40 FF 3F 16
[2024-06-09 09:15:21] SEND (005): 10 7B 09 84 16
mbus_sendrecv_request: Failed to receive M-Bus response frame.
mbus_frame_print: Dumping M-Bus frame [type 0, -3 bytes]: 
Failed to generate XML representation of MBUS frames: M-bus data parse error.

If I use M-Bus master from ENBRA (USB-MBus) CODMBUS the read tool is ok to read the meter:

unipi@M527-snXXX:~$ mbus-serial-request-data -d -b 1200 /dev/ttyUSB0 9

I would appreciate any idea what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
