C-Bus Devices

The C-Bus Devices in each network allow you to add C-Bus unit devices in the project.

Add C-Bus Device

Prerequisites: Make sure your project is Open, and network has been selected.

Select the network of the project you want to add unit devices
On selecting C-Bus Devices, Library and Workspace window contents are displayed

NOTE: Make sure you have Library and Workspace window opened.
In the Library window, select the unit device and click .

This will add device to the project which is displayed in Workspace Devices in Project window.
TIP: Alternate ways to add devices:
- Double-click on unit device
- Drag and drop unit device to Devices in Project
IMPORTANT:
- When the same unit device is added “N” times, each device postfixes with an incriminated number to maintain the uniqueness.
- Each device can be renamed in their respective Property window (It is advised to rename the device appropriately).
Each C-Bus device can be configured by making changes in the respective Property window, which can be seen based on the Unit Type categories.

IMPORTANT: In an existing Project, when a C-Bus Device node is clicked the existing device name in Devices in Project is assigned automatically as per following:

If PART NAME is	”NEW UNIT”	If TAG NAME is	“NEW UNIT”	DEVICE NAME is assigned same as Catalog number	If DEVICE NAME is unique in network node	TAG NAME is same as DEVICE NAME	PART NAME is assigned same as DEVICE NAME (maximum 8 characters)
					If DEVICE NAME is not unique in network node	Numeric 1 is appended to DEVICE NAME
			not “NEW UNIT”	DEVICE NAME is assigned same as TAG NAME	If DEVICE NAME is unique in network node	PART NAME is assigned same as TAG NAME
					If DEVICE NAME is not unique in project	PART NAME is assigned same as TAG NAME Numeric 1 is appended to DEVICE NAME and is incriminated for next instance
	is not ”NEW UNIT”	If TAG NAME is	“NEW UNIT”	If PART NAME is	unique in C-Bus network	DEVICE NAME is assigned same as PART NAME	TAG NAME is assigned same as DEVICE NAME
					not unique in C-Bus network	Numeric 1 is appended to DEVICE NAME and is incriminated for next instance DEVICE NAME is assigned same as PART NAME.
			not “NEW UNIT”	If TAG NAME is	unique in C-Bus network	DEVICE NAME is assigned same as TAG NAME
					not unique in C-Bus network	Numeric 1 is appended to DEVICE NAME and is incriminated for next instance DEVICE NAME is assigned same as TAG NAME

Add multiple C-Bus devices

Prerequisites: The project must already be opened in Explorer window with a network created in the project.

The Library window allows to add multiple devices at a time.

Select the C-Bus Device of a network in the Explorer window

Step result: The devices that can be added to the network appear in the Library window .
Select the device and click drop-down, choose Add Multiple
TIP: Alternate method to add multiple devices:
- Right click on the device, and select ADD multiple
Fill in the device information as demonstrated below

Add Dali Devices

Prerequisites: A project must already be open in the Explorer window. A network must already be created with a DALI-2 Gateway added to the network, see Add DALI-2 gateway

Select a DALI line in the Explorer window
Select the Dali device and click in Library window
TIP: Alternate ways to add DALI devices:
- Double-click on unit device
  Or
- Drag and drop a unit device to Devices in Project
Step result: Selected device is added to the project.

The different DALI ECG devices in each DALI Line are as listed below:

Device Type	Device Name	Meaning
Emergency or Exit Light	DALI ECG DT1 (Generic)	Emergency or Exit Light (Generic)
	DALI ECG DT1 A	Emergency or Exit Light (Switched Maintained Dimmable)
	DALI ECG DT1 B	Emergency or Exit Light (Switched Maintained Non-Dimmable)
	DALI ECG DT1 C	Emergency or Exit Light (Maintained)
	DALI ECG DT1 D	Emergency or Exit Light (Non – Maintained Dimmable)
LED	DALI ECG DT 6	Single Channel LED Device
	DALI 2x ECG DT 6	DALI 2 Channel Device (DT6)
	DALI 3x ECG DT 6	DALI 3 Channel Device (DT6)
	DALI 4x ECG DT 6	DALI 4 Channel Device (DT6)
Channel	DALI ECG	DALI ECG (Generic)
	DALI 2x ECG	DALI 2 Channel Device (Generic)
	DALI 3x ECG	DALI 3 Channel Device (Generic)
	DALI 4x ECG	DALI 4 Channel Device (Generic)
Color Control	DALI ECG DT8	Single Channel Tunable / Color Controllable Device

NOTE: When a DALI channel device is added, based on the number of channels DALI device is added. Each DALI channel device can be collapsed and expanded.

Example, when the DALI 3x ECG DT6 is added the result is as shown below:

To Configure DALI ECG Devices, see DALI ECG devices

Add multiple Dali devices

Prerequisites: A project must already be open in the Explorer window. A network must already be created with a DALI-2 Gateway added to the network. A DALI Line must already be selected.

Select the DALI device and click drop-down, choose Add Multiple.

Step result: Add Multiple DALI Devices dialog box is displayed.
