C- Bus PC Interface
The DIN rail mounted C-Bus PC Interface (or C-Bus PCI)
is a C-Bus system device designed to provide a gateway
between a PC and a C-Bus Network. Through the C-Bus PC
interface, C-Bus Units can be programmed, commands can
be issued to the C-Bus Network and activity on the C-Bus
Network can be monitored.
Clipsal C-BUS lighting products are the probably best
type of lighting systems to use with Comfort. Clipsal
and Cytech work closely together to produce the most compelling
integration combination available today. Comfort communicates
with the C-BUS components using the [UCMCBUS]
module.
The C-Bus PC Interface uses a standard USB
port connection and allows an external device with USB
output to be interfaced to a C-Bus system. Clipsal Integrated
Systems offers a PCI Development Kit (5000DK) which
enables third party developers to integrate their systems
with C-Bus. The PC Interface can be programmed to generate
the C-Bus system clock for communications data synchronisation
on the C-Bus Network and also provides a software selectable
Network Burden [Not required if UCMCBUS
is used].
Installation of the C-Bus PC Interface on the C-Bus
Network requires connection to the Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair C-Bus Network Cable. The connection to
a personal computer is via the on-board 9-pin D type
serial connector or 8 pin RJ45 connector.
The unit incorporates C-Bus and Unit/Communications
LED indicators. These LED’s indicate if the unit
is powered and functional, if sufficient C-Bus Network
voltage is available, if a valid C-Bus clock signal
is present and if data transfer is currently taking
place. Like all the other units that make up a C-Bus
system, the DIN rail C-Bus PC Interface is Australian
designed, developed and manufactured by Clipsal Integrated
Systems Pty Ltd.
Installers are encouraged to attend the Clipsal courses
to familiarise themselves with the installation, programming
and commissioning of Clipsal CBUS products.
