C-BUS
C-Bus
is an engineered microprocessor control system. It provides complete control of
lighting and other electrical devices. C-Bus is easy to install and by far the
most cost effective, user-friendly control and management system available on
the market. The comprehensive C-Bus product range provides specifiers, lighting
designers and integrators with the essential requirements to meet any control
and management system specifications.
This
includes wall switches; touch screens (colour and black & white); high powered
commercial dimmers; control relays; multi-room audio solutions; thermostats; occupancy,
light level and temperature sensors; security
and access systems; energy control and monitoring solutions; and software packages.
C-Bus utilises “distributed intelligence”, which means it
does not require a central controller like other systems. This increases the
redundancy of the architecture and eliminates the risk of total failure to
provide a more dependable, safer system. The C-Bus protocol has proven to be
extremely robust and reliable. The C-Bus system includes gateways and
interfaces to allow for a for high level of integration with other technologies
and building management systems, including DSI, DMX, DALI, BACnet, OPC and
TCP/IP.
C-Bus can control virtually any type of electrical load with
ease, whether it’s simple digital control of lighting or variable (analogue)
control, such as dimming fluorescent ballasts. Each C-Bus device has its own
in-built microprocessor and can be individually programmed with ease to
integrate with other devices. Through a two-way, closed loop communication
system, C-Bus allows individual network devices to communicate directly with
each other.
This creates a more intelligent network with precise
control; enabling individual devices to provide information about their status.
C-Bus software allows simple control and monitoring of an entire network system
from a user-friendly interface. The user interface can also be customised and
configured to suit specific requirements, with a wide selection of control
screens and buttons.
