Devices in Project

The Devices in Project section displays all the devices in the project database.

Fields	Description
Address	This field displays the unit address assigned to the device. NOTE: For a C-Bus device, the values vary from 0 to 255 For a DALI device, the values vary from 0 to 63
Device Name	The Device Name field contains the name that user can give to the logical representation of the unit. This name can be up to 32 characters long and is stored in the project database only
Unit Type	This field displays the unit type of the device on the network
Catalogue	This field displays the commercial reference for the device
Description	This field displays the description of the device and cannot be edited.
Serial	This field displays the serial number which exists on the physical network or which has been assigned to the logical representation of the unit
Firmware	This field displays the version number of the C-Bus interface firmware which exists on the physical network or which has been assigned to a logical representation of the unit in the database
Exists on Network	Displays whether the device exists on network
Application	This field displays the name of the application being used for the device

The operations that can be performed on Devices in Project section are:

Search a Device

Prerequisites: The devices must already be added in a Devices in project section of an network .

The Devices in project section allows searching of a device in the existing project database by entering the device name in the Search bar of workspace window.

NOTE: You can also search by entering either Unit Type , Catalogue or Description.

Copy Device

To Be Implemented

Paste Device

To Be Implemented

Delete Device

Prerequisites: The devices must already be added in a Devices in project of network and must be fully matched with Network devices.

Select the device check box
click

TIP: Alternate method to delete device:

Select the device check box, right-click on Devices in project > Delete

Deploy Devices from Project to Network

Prerequisites: The network must be already created. The C-Bus network should be opened and scanned C-Bus devices. The devices must be fully matched, click How to do fully matched devices

The process to deploy devices is as demonstrated below:

Sort Device

Prerequisites: The devices must already be added in a Devices in project of network .

The devices in the device list can be sorted using and selecting an appropriate sort method.

Readdress

Prerequisites: The C-Bus devices must be already added to the project database.

The Readdress function allows the readdressing of the C-Bus devices within a C-Bus network or project database.

To Readdress a network, select a device and right-click on section Devices in Project > Readdress Project Device

Readdress Project Device dialog box is displayed, Choose the address and confirm OK.

NOTE: Readdressing cannot be performed on Bridge devices.

IMPORTANT:

Readdress Project Device is used when an existing device address needs to be utilized for another device
Readdress to Match Network is used to perform fully match, see How to do fully matched devices

If there are a lot of logical units and want to synchronize a physical unit with one, the Readdress to Match Network function is useful for finding logical units with the same unit type.

The Readdress to Match Network operation searches for a unit/device within the logical list(scanned devices) for any compatible unit types. If none are found, a message box confirms that there is “no match”. If more than one compatible unit types are found, the Readdress Project Device dialog box appears displaying the choice.

Choose the device and confirm OK.
