C-Bus: The future of lighting control
Are you in control of your lighting?
If so, can you link it to other building essentials
such as security, access control and heating?
Can you adjust your light level on a bright, sunny day?
Can you reduce your energy consumption at the touch of a button?
Is your building providing a pleasant working environment?
Whatever type of building you are refurbishing, building or simply using, having control over the internal environment is not an easy task. However, if it is uncontrollable, you will end up with a ‘sick’ building, where occupants and visitors will feel uncomfortable because it is too warm, too cold, too dark, too bright, there is insufficient air circulation etc…
This is where C-Bus, the control and management system comes in.
C-Bus gives you full control of your building environment at the simple touch of a button or via a web page, accessible from any networked terminal in the building. Based on a simple, extendable, and easy to install solution, C-Bus gives you a platform that ensures you get the best out of your building environment. C-Bus is a flexible system with endless possibilities. You can align the system with a wide range of products and developments as they are released onto the market. The system is scalable and simplifies your automation and design needs. If additional controllers are required and cabling hasn’t been pre-installed, C-Bus also offers a range of wireless equipment, allowing nearly unlimited expansion of your system.
Reliable high-speed communication.
Each unit of the C-Bus network has its own microprocessor, allowing it to operate independently with ‘distributed intelligence’. Control information is held in the unit rather than a central controlling point, giving your system a reliable high-speed communication network with redundancy in the event of a single point failure. Clipsal C-Bus is also designed as a duplex communication system, allowing devices to communicate simultaneously with each other.
C-Bus can help you control your lighting and hence reduce your energy consumption.
Simple actions like dimming the lights on a bright sunny day, ensuring all lights are switched off at the end of the working day are all easy ways of reducing your energy bill. Ramping up the light level rather than switching on or off is another facility offered by C-Bus, which reduces the peak demand on your electrical network. C-Bus allows you to do all this and more, either manually or via an automated programme.
C-Bus gives your building a ‘wow’ factor that will add to the overall impression.
Finishing touches are often neglected in a building but adding a ‘little something’ to your building will leave a strong visual impact on the occupants and visitors. C-Bus offers a range of switches, screens and sockets with a difference.
