C-Bus in the Future Integration
Integration Options C-Bus in the Future Native C-Bus – e.g. C-Bus MRA, WISER, C-Touch Low level – relay (I/O) based High level – custom written code C-Bus Enabled – ‘out of the box’ solution that just works! Real-time – external information
Low Level Integration C-Bus in the Future Simple but effective method of system integration Provides simplification through common control devices and user interfaces Involves a contact being closed (usually a voltage free relay) Send and receive information between systems: C-Bus Air-conditioning zone dampers Irrigation solenoids Access control systems Blind/shutter systems
High Level Integration C-Bus in the Future High Level Integration More complex that Low Level Integration but provides a more flexible solution Interaction between control systems and devices at a communication or ‘protocol’ level Custom written serial strings Serial RS232 and TCP/IP via Ethernet or WiFi Send and receive messages between systems: C-Bus Security A/V equipment Pool equipment
C-Bus Enabled Program C-Bus Now Co-development approach Support native C-Bus Protocol Interpret and send data directly to C-Bus using specifically designed application types Consultation, engineering support, testing and validation Successful validation results in the product being certified
C-Bus Enabled Program C-Bus Now Available to Companies from many different areas HVAC Security Automation panels/controllers Access control systems Motorised shutters/blinds Integrators with custom hardware & software Energy monitoring
Using the Internet to your advantage C-Bus in the Future Using the Internet to your advantage ‘Scrape’ real-time information from the Internet A more efficient and intelligent method of control Dynamic system response based on current conditions or environment Save power and money Extend the information to other C-Bus devices to make them more intelligent and intuitive
