C-Gate Server Application Software
C-Gate is a powerful server application, designed to provide a high-level interface between third party systems and the
C-Bus control system. Developers and system integrators can use C-Gate to integrate their products to C-Bus.
A high level command and event interface allows control and monitoring of a C-Bus network without detailed
knowledge of C-Bus protocol. The C-Gate Server software can be located on a separate server machine or can run in the
background on a personal computer.
C-Gate uses industry standard TCP/IP protocols to support:
• Multiple C-Bus networks - connected to a TCP/IP backbone network.
• Multiple connections - from one or more front end or building management systems using TCP/IP sockets.
• Simple connection to web servers for Internet based control and monitoring.
P R o D u C T F E A T u R E s
• Open standard TCP/IP interface for integration to third party
systems - Building management systems, CCTV, access
control, re alarm, HVAC, SCADA, Java applications, Web
Servers and Web Browsers.
• Utilise standard Ethernet technology products to network
multiple C-Bus networks over a standard LAN or WAN.
• High speed monitoring & control of Clipsal C-Bus devices.
• Utilise standard Ethernet technology products to run C-Bus
over dierent media i.e. ber optic, UTP or coaxial cable.
• Connectivity of multiple C-Bus networks through serial,
terminal server or C-Bus Network Interface options.
• A number of C-Bus networks can be managed in parallel
high speed, hence control is rapid and monitoring is accurate
even when multiple networks are involved.
• C-Gate allows C-Bus networks to be connected across TCP/IP
backbone network as well as through a local TCP/IP interface.
• Operates in Windows and Linux OS environments.
