Introduction to SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission

The SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission is a single software tool for designing and commissioning C-Bus and DALI systems, including lighting and emergency lighting applications.

The SpaceLogic C-Bus consists of:

Input Devices – Wall plates, Touch panels, Sensors and General interfaces
Output Devices – Dimmers, Relays, and Gateways
System Devices – Controllers, Interfaces and Bridges
Software – For Commissioning and control of devices

The features of the software are as follows:

Managing C-Bus and DALI devices over single C-Bus network connection
Defines relation between C-Bus and DALI from a single point

Deployment queue enables background deployment while configuration is work in progress.

Provides different DALI device identification methods suitable for varying deployment situations

C-Bus Applications

The C-Bus building automation applications are at the core of the C-Bus architecture. Each applications are defined to :

Suit a specific building automation activity
Provide direct or indirect control or integration with electrical load control
Provide a messaging protocol specific to the type of building automation
Communicate building automation information between units or peripherals

Lighting Application

The Lighting applications are used to control lighting as well as switching and load control. Lighting types are broken down into three groups.

Lighting Compatible applications such as heating, ventilation, HVAC Actuator, irrigation control, etc. These are applications which are fully compatible with the Lighting application, but have unique application addresses in order to separate differing customer solutions
Lighting Based applications such as trigger, for supporting the creating of scenes and remote triggering and enable, enabling/disabling various system functions
Lighting Type applications utilize the same set of C-Bus messages, which are designed to transmit electrical load control information across the C-Bus network

Lighting and Lighting Compatible applications are responsible for controlling electrical loads for a wide range of automation operations. These are the applications which form the basics of most C-Bus building automation.

Enable Application

The Enable application is used to enable/disable system functions. The application is capable of enabling and disabling functions such as:

Schedules
Irrigation controller
Keys with keysets on C-Bus wireless input/output units
Customer solutions can be enabled/disabled. Each application has 255 Enable Group address which can be used to enable/disable a range of functions and each of these have 255 Values

Error Application

The Error application is used to report error information detected or generated by C-Bus units over the C-Bus network.

C-Bus units monitor and detect error conditions, and report those conditions using the C-Bus error application.

An error or fault condition report contains information about what caused it, how severe it was, and what its nature was. Events are reported OK, if the monitored events are operating normally. Upon receiving an error message, a device acts on the information accordingly.

Measurement Application

The Measurement application is designed to receive data in the form of voltage, current and resistance, which is converted, scaled and, then transmitted across the C-Bus to accurately represent physical measurement units such as temperature, liquid level, light level and so on.
