WHAT IS C-Bus

C-Bus is an intelligent Cat 5 LowVoltage (elv) Bus system used to con-trol lighting and other electrical servic-es.

All items are connected and communi-cate via the Cat 5 cable network.These items are - inputs, typicallydevices that send commands such asPIR's, timers, key switches, and - out-puts , typically stand alone or DINmounted relays and dimmers.

To ensure fast and reliable operation,each device has its own in-built micro-processor and "intelligence" which canbe individually programmed and re-pro-grammed.

Each C Bus network can be up to1000m long ,wired in any configuration.Up to 100 devices can operate on eachnetwork and up to 255 networks canbe connected on the one system.

Whether simple ON/OFF control of alighting circuit via a relay , or variablecontrol such as dimming hf ballasts ortransformers, C-Bus is used to easilycontrol virtually any type of electricalload via these progammable outputs.

C-Bus communication is 2-way soeach unit can communicate directlywith any other unit on the network, andprovide information about it's own sta-tus. C-Bus system information is heldwithin individual C-Bus units ratherthan at one central point. This ensuresoptimum communications speed andimproves reliability

Simple software for Windows(tm) 95/98or NT is used to commission the sys-tem from a laptop or PC via the PCinterface device. When this is discon-nected the system will function untilchanges may be required.

More sophisticated software and sys-tem gateways are available to run largerprojects with more specialised require-ments. These communicate with BMSsystems or other networks for completeintegration of building networks.

Ideally suited for both Home andCommercial projects such as Retail,Warehousing, Office, Public Authorityand Sports venues, C-Bus is nowinstalled in ten's of thousands of loca-tions worldwide.

In summary, C-Bus is undoubtedly themost cost-effective, easy to install anduser-friendly control system available.

At any time the commands may be re-programmed, and C-Bus units can alsobe added, moved or removed freely.

Unlimited CapabilitiesUnlike other systems, C-Bus allowsmultiple commands to be sent andreceived simultaneously at a high speed(3500 bits/sec), and 2-way communica-tions allow devices to communicatedirectly between themselves.

The size of a C-Bus installation is prac-tically unlimited. A large installation isusually divided into sub-networks ofmaximum 100 C-Bus devices, with atotal cable length of 1000m per sub-network.

This allows a C-Bus system to be divid-ed into manage-able sections,simplifyingdesign, limitingpotential faultpropagation andaiding in anytroubleshooting.

DistributedIntelligence Unlike a numberof other sys-tems, C-Bus hasdistributed intel-ligence, witheach module

comprising of a microprocessor withnon-volatile memory and operating pro-gram. This means that coding and con-trol information is downloaded and heldin individual C-Bus units, rather than allinformation kept on a central process-ing unit.

This allows all Units on the C-BusNetwork to operate independently with"distributed intelligence''.

The distributed intelligence providesextremely reliable high-speed communi-cations, and ensures that a malfunctionin one unit will not affect the operationof any other Unit or the Network.

Peer-To-Peer CommunicationEvery C-Bus Unit is assigned a uniquename, so that all the devices on the C-

OVERVIEW OF THE C-Bus CONTROL SYSTEM

Introduction

In this section we can only touchupon some of the most common C-Bus features. For full details andadvice on applications pleaserequest a full copy of the C-Busdocumentation from your ClipsalArea Manager. In addition pleasevisit the Clipsal Integrated Systemswebsite at www.clipsal.com/ciswhere the latest product informa-tion is available including softwaredownloads.

The C-BusNetworkThe C-BusNetwork Bus isthe communica-tions wiring forthe system, con-sisting of anunshielded twist-

ed pair (UTP) 'Cat 5' cable.

The Network Bus not only provides themeans of communication betweenunits, but also the small amount ofpower needed to operate the circuitrywithin most C-Bus units.

The C-Bus Network is electrically isolat-ed from the mains power, and operatesat safe extra low voltage levels (36 voltsDC). The normal restrictions of mainswiring usually do not apply, so C-Buswiring may be run into places thatwould be dangerous (or illegal) with nor-mal mains wiring.

Free TopologyStructure Input and Output devices arewired to any point in the C-Bus Networkby the Cat 5 bus cable, which carries allcommunications between the Units.

The C-Bus connections may be loopedfrom unit to unit, or a branch can bemade at any point. This 'free topology'structure provides a flexible system lay-out. New units can be added any-where, at any time, without system re-configuration.

Easy To Design and InstallFor data communications only a C-Buscable connection to the network isrequired for each device . Mains voltageis supplied from appropriate outputdevices such as relays and dimmersdirectly to the load device - light fittingsfor example.

During commissioning, the system isprogrammed so that specific com-mands trigger responses in one (ormore) devices on the C-Bus Network.

Logic and ScenariosMore sophisticated commands can alsobe made using higher level software.

For example conditional ( IF - THEN -ELSE ) statements can be programmedinto the C-Bus system allowing eventsto be conditional upon the status ofother devices, time of day, and othersituations.

For example, an Input Switch couldissue an instruction to a certain RelayDevice to switch "ON" - but only if itwas after 12:00 noon, and the ambientlight was under 150 Lux.New developmentsLatest C Bus products to be released

Bus Network can communicate directly.

Since C-Bus uses 'peer to peer' com-munication, every device onto the C-Bus Network issues and responds tocommands directly from the Network,rather than requiring a central computeror controller.

Simple ControlEach C-Bus device is programmed toissue and respond to certain com-mands. The number of commands pro-grammable into the C-Bus system isvirtually unlimited.

Generally, Input Devices are pro-grammed to issue commands, andOutput Devices programmed to executethose commands.

When a command is issued by a C-Busdevice, any device programmed to

respond to that command will be acti-vated, where ever they are situated onthe C-Bus Network.

There is no direct mains voltage con-nection between any of the C-Bus units,the only connection is via the low volt-age Cat 5 C-Bus Network cable.

Active Feedback to the Network Due to the C-Bus 2-way communica-tions and distributed intelligence,Output Devices also send informationback to the Network about their currentstatus, which allows error-checking andactive feedback.

Multiple EventsSingle C-Bus Devices can produce mul-tiple events. For example, you mayprogram an Input Switch so that thelength of time the key is presseddeter-mines what Command is issued - ashort press issues an on/off commandand a long press controls a dimmingcommand.

Single devices may control a number ofOutput Devices - for example a singlepush button switch may control a wholefloor of a building. Multiple Inputdevices may also control a singleOutput Device.

Marked where applicable

Within the boardroom of a large building, an Input Switchis pressed, issuing a Command onto the C-Bus Network.

Each C-Bus command is uniquely named - in this casewe have programmed the command as "Boardroom walllights - toggle On and Off".

The command from the Input Switch is sent onto the C-Bus Network, for every C-Bus unit throughout the build-ing to read. However, only theC-Bus Units programmed torespond to that specific C-Busmessage will react to theCommand.

A 12 channel DIN mounted relaysupplies the boardroom. Thefirst Relay supplies the walllights in the boardroom and is

set to respond to the Command ""Boardroom wall lights - toggleOn and Off"The Relayreceives that spe-cific C-Bus com-mand, and tog-gles. In this case,the Input Switchsimply operatesas a push-buttoncontrol for theRelay.

To provide furtherflexibility, comfortand energy sav-

ings, a C-Bus occupancy detector is added to also control thesame lights A in the boardroom. We could then set-up up thesystem such that there is a logical relationship between the oper-ation of the switch and the detector.

For example, if the occupancy sensor is On, the Inputswitch could be set to disable the sensor and togglethe lighting Off when pressed (i.e., 'PresentationMode'). The lighting could manually be switched backOn again from the wall switch (or via a C-

Bus IR remote controller). The occupancy sensortakes care of automatically switching the lights offwhen the room is unoccupied.

The LED indicator on the Input Switch has been programmedto illuminate if the Wall lights areswitched "ON", irrespective of whetherthat command was originally issued bythe Input Switch or any other device onthe Network (e.g.: the PIR Sensor).

As well more sophisticated features canbe added with additional software. Forexample, we have programmed the C-Bus system so that if the time is after5:30pm, and if there is nobody detected by the PIR, then toturn the lights off automatically. As a safeguard we have alsoinstructed the relay to flash the lights twice before switchingthem off completely.

The original Input Switch now functions as an Over-rideButton, so if the lights flash (indicating an imminent full switchoff) a quick press of the button will provide an extra periodwith the lights on.

Another Input Switch in a different section of the building hasbeen programmed as a "Master Switch" to turn "OFF" alllights in any area that are "ON", irrespective of commandsissued by other control devices. Remember there does notneed to be a direct wiring connection between any of theseunits.

This simple example only gives an overview of control flexibil-ity of the C-Bus system.. C-Bus can be programmed to suitany project's requirements. The system can then be re-con-figured at any time in the future without wiring modifications.

C-Gate/C-Bus Server SoftwareC-Gate is a gateway program whichallows third parties to integrate with theC-Bus system. Interfaces can be con-structed to BacNet, LonWorks, EIB ormore.

The C-Gate Software package is aframework (server and support applica-tions) for anyone who wants to developC-Bus compatible application softwareand/or interfaces to other building man-agement systems.

C-Gate provides a portable serverapplication, which makes it simple forexperienced software developers tocreate C-Bus compatible software with-out a detailed knowledge of C-Bus pro-tocol.

C Gate basically, consists of a run-timepackage that includes the server, sup-port applications and documentation(including example code). It is a soft-ware platform that monitors and con-trols the components of the Clipsal C-Bus system. The server is written inJAVA with a strong emphasis on porta-bility to maximise its use on bothWindows(tm) and non-Windows(tm)platforms such as Unix(tm), Mac OS(tm)and Linux(tm).

The C-Gate software supports TCP/IPconnections, meaning that C-Bus canbe controlled over the local Intranet orInternet.

C-Gate allows multiple C-Bus networksto be connected at high speed across aTCP/IP backbone.

C-Lution - Seamless IntegrationC-Lution is a complete end user soft-

ware application which provides thecomplete solution for real time controland monitoring of C-Bus using clearand concise graphic images.

The user can create sophisticated ani-mation to display the operating statusand performance of the electrical serv-ices in the premises. A history logensures that specified parameters andevents are logged with historical andreal time trending available in graphicalform. C-Lution can be used to produceperiodic and event driven reports.

C-Lution can be used to monitor, con-trol and log all alarms. The integrity ofthe installation may be tested by C-Lution. An alarm can be programmed toalert the user if a C-Bus device isremoved or added to the system.

The user can also programme a multi-layered security system that allows per-sonal access to the areas of a build-ing's electrical services within their con-trol.

The C-Lution package includes a driverlibrary to interface with proprietaryequipment such as BuildingManagement Systems (BMS),Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC),Remote Terminal Units (RTU), etc. Over130 protocols are available uponrequest.

5 cable - no mains cabling is required atthe unit.

It is load size and type independent asit can communicate with any combina-tion of output units connected to C-Bus.

The unit incorporates five programma-ble preset buttons and associated LEDindicators.

The user is able to assign and recall apreset lighting scene directly from theunit.

The unit has the facility to include nineseparate lighting groups as part of eachscene:-

Three groups (the 'primary groups') are available on all fivepresets.

The other six groups (the 'secondary groups') are definable individually on each preset.

The unit has the facility to control thirty-three programmable groups across thefive presets.

These thirty-three groups can be asso-ciated with multiple C-Bus outputs.

Scene Master has a 'Setup Mode'which allows the Lighting Controller to'learn' required lighting scenes.

A scene is learnt by initiating SetupMode, manually setting a scene via theScene Master and other C-Bus inputdevices (e.g. Key Switches) and manu-ally assigning these load settings to apreset button.

If power to the unit is lost, all presetlevel are stored in non-volatile memory.

The C-Bus system has the capability toprogram individual outputs to power-upautomatically at preset levels, prede-fined levels, on or off.

When programming a Lighting Scene,the Scene Master unit has a buttonavailable to manually select the faderate for that scene. Other fade ratestimes between 0s and 1020s areassigned through the C-Bus software.

The fade rate button has an associatedseries of LED's to indicate the currentfade rate. Double clicking a scene but-ton causes the pre-programmed fade-inrates to be overridden and the targetlevels 'instantly' established.

Scene Master includes a 'Master Off'button.

This button is programmable and allowsthe user to selectively turn off a variablenumber of secondary output groups.Pressing the Master Off button turns offall three of the primary groups. A spe-cial fade rate is associated with theMaster Off button. The master off faderate indicator is automatically turned off10 seconds after the master off com-mand is executed.

There is provision for a "night light"function. This can enabled or disabledvia the installation software. Whenenabled, if no indicator other than thefade rate is active on a unit (all primarygroups are off), then all five scene indi-cators will be dimly lit.

Also included is a hand held IR RemoteControl. This has Scene and Master-OffButtons function as the Buttons onScene Master.

The level change performed by theMaster Up/Down buttons on the IRRemote are temporary and do not affectthe preset levels. All the scene buttonindicators on the Scene Master unitflash when it is receiving valid datafrom an IR remote.
