C-Bus Automation Controllers

The C-Bus Network Automation Controller and C-Bus Application Controller units are DIN Rail-mounted C-Bus units. They enable C-Bus to perform complex conditional events, real-time scheduling, combinations of conditional events and scheduling, calculations, and protocol conversions. This support automation functions such as control and monitoring of C-Bus groups and scenes. The unit is programmed via its own internal web interface, which is accessible via a USB cable or an Ethernet network.

SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission supports the below automation and application controllers.

When any controller unit is added to the Devices in Project, three layers of the controller are displayed. They are IP layer, PC and SYS.

  • IP Layer will not have any address, serial, firmware version or unit type.

  • IP Layer cannot be readdressed.

    NOTE: Ensure that the PC and SYS levels are readdressed as per current implementation without losing the IP layer.

  • The SYS and PC layer are used to configure, reconcile and deploy to the device.

  • The SYS and PC layer cannot be deleted independently.

  • When loading the IP layer in Property window, the Deploy to network is disabled.

Connect to the controllers: Configure IP layer of the controllers to sync or connect to the controllers or can enter manually at the time of connection.

Controller sync functions: Controller sync consists of 2 functions:

  • Push: Push (Transfer) function is used to push the object list to the controller.

  • Pull: Pull (Retrieve) function is used to pull the data back from the controller and store data in the project.
