Software Packages
Please note all C-Bus Software Packages need to be programmed via a PC running the Microsoft Windows® operating system. All Installers will require an
appropriate level of training and experience before they can program Clipsal C-Bus software packages to customer requirements. A C-Bus accredited
System Integrator or approved C-Bus installer with the appropriate level of accreditation should therefore be used for software commissioning. Please
contact your C-Bus specialist or Schneider Electric for further information.
Toolkit Software
The C-Bus Toolkit Software includes the new version of the C-Bus Installation Software, Project Manager, and C-Bus Calculator. The software works under
Windows™ 98, ME, 2000 and XP and supports a unique barcode scanning feature. This allows the Installer to scan the C-Bus packaging of each new unit
to add the unit to the database. This ensures the correct unit type is added and saves the Installer having to select from a list of unit types. The software
prints adhesive labels that can be axed to building plans. These labels include the Unit Address and the physical location that the unit is to be installed
at. Labels are duplicated so that one label can be axed to the unit and one to the electrical plan for the installation. The labels have barcodes on them so
that units can be easily re-identied if required.
Please note: The latest version of the C-Bus Toolkit software is freely downloadable from the CIS website at www.clipsal.
