Technical Information
Technical Information C-Bus Wireless System Operation The C-Bus Wireless product range incorporates a family of C-Bus Radio Frequency (RF) devices, including Wall Plates, Plug Adaptors, Remote Control and a Gateway to Category 5 Wired C-Bus units. C-Bus Wireless Wall Plates are designed to easily replace standard, 240V wall switches. They incorporate patented Clipsal technology and are two wires devices requiring no Neutral (240VAC Active and Load connections only).
Technical Information C-Bus Wireless System Operation Basic Operation C-Bus Wireless Network Security Buttons on a Wireless Wall Plate or Plug Adaptor are organised in pairs that control the output channels (local control buttons). Remaining pairs (free buttons) are used to control outputs on other units when multiple C-Bus Wireless units are configured as part of a network. For example, the figure below shows a 6 button, 2 channel ULTI Wireless Dimmer unit.
Technical Information C-Bus Wireless System Operation C-Bus Wireless Modes of Operation (cont’d) Mode 3 Networked Mode In this mode, a C-Bus Wireless Wall Plate acts as a dimmer or switch and multiple C-Bus Wireless units can be linked to each other with the C-Bus Wireless technology. This mode is simple to setup, and is suitable for more complex installations. In this mode, local control buttons control the dimming or switch channel of the unit, and may also control other C-Bus Wireless units.

Technical Information C-Bus Enabled Program The C-Bus Enabled program is Clipsal’s Open Systems program for third party developers and manufacturers, who wish to develop and integrate C-Bus compatible products and software applications. The C-Bus Enabled program ensures 100% compatibility between applications and products developed by third parties and existing products.
Technical Information C-Bus Enabled Program Software Integration C-Gate C-Lution C-Gate, Clipsal’s server application is a software application that provides a computer database model of the C-Bus network. When installed on a computer, C-Gate automatically models the C-Bus networks attached to it, any changes to the network or network parameters are automatically updated in the C-Gate database.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide Clipsal C-Bus is a control system that can be used to control lighting, electrical equipment, audio-visual equipment and other electronic systems in commercial, hotel, industrial and residential installations. A reduction in the amount of mains cabling, reduced installation times, energy savings and extra control system functionality make C-Bus a cost effective alternative to conventional wiring.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 2 Methods of System Design Installation Approach Planning and Design The most important phase of any C-Bus installation is in the planning and design of the system. Accurate planning requires a good understanding of the capabilities of the system, and the requirements of a successful installation (refer to the Design Checklist). It is also an advantage to fully define the functional specifications for the installation before design work begins.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 3 Implementing C-Bus Designs Addressing Conventions Introduction Once a basic list of hardware requirements has been established, planning of the programming requirements of an installation can begin. The C-Bus system uses a simple addressing scheme to identify Units, Groups, Applications, Areas, and Networks. The purpose of each parameter will be discussed in the next section.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 3 Implementing C-Bus Designs (cont’d) Assigning Addressing Systematic Address Allocation Unit Addresses are assigned in an ascending order on an installation plan, traversing left to right, up and down. This process is repeated systematically until all Units are covered off. The C-Bus design requires that all Units on the Network are uniquely identified by a Unit Address. Loads must also be assigned a control Group Address.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 4 Specifiying Large Installations Multi-Network Installations C-Bus Network Interfaces can also be used when large systems are required. The C-Bus Network Interface is a 10-Base T Ethernet compliant device. This allows a C-Bus network to be connected to an Ethernet network.

Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 5 Design Documentation Documenting Hardware Installation Documenting Programming Requirements Documentation of the hardware installation is usually best achieved through CAD generated site drawings, presented in the conventional industry standard format. The following drawing shows an example of a typical installation plan. The drawing shows product to be installed, and their location.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide The Units are initialized one at a time, on-the-bench or in an office environment. The Units may or may not be fully programmed at this stage. Any programming variables may be entered, including control relationships, and then the Units are installed into the building.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 7 C-Bus Wiring Rules C-Bus is a safe extra low voltage electronic control system, primarily used in mains rated load control applications. A C-Bus Network consists of various Input, Output, and System Support Units which are interconnected using Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) LAN cable. Some simple rules should be observed when specifying or designing any C-Bus installation.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 8 Practical Wiring Considerations The C-Bus is designed to operate at a safe, extra-low voltage of 36VDC, with optical and/or galvanic isolation from mains voltages. The installer must ensure that acceptable wiring practices for extra low voltage cabling are adopted with C-Bus. Laying of C-Bus Cabling and Precautions In particular, the routing of the C-Bus cable near mains wiring, where physical separation criteria between cables need to be satisfied.
Technical Information C-Bus Design Guide 8 Practical Wiring Considerations (cont’d) Connection to A Personal Computer Connection of the PC Interface to the Serial Communication Port of a Personal Computer is made via the 9 pin D type connector or 2 x RJ45 jacks fitted on the Unit. The installer may also provide access to the PC Interface through a wall mounted connector, such as the Clipsal 2231/1 data connection plate. Connection can also be via a C-Bus Network Interface.
