Integration

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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
