C-Bus PC Interface RS232
[5500PC] - Stock: 1

CE Approved

The DIN rail mounted C-Bus PC Interface (or C-Bus PCI) is a C-Bus system device designed to provide a gateway between a PC and a C-Bus Network. Through the C-Bus PC interface, C-Bus Units can be programmed, commands can be issued to the C-Bus Network and activity on the C-Bus Network can be monitored. The C-Bus PC Interface uses a standard RS232 serial port connection and allows an external device with RS232 output to be interfaced to a C-Bus system.

Clipsal Integrated Systems offers a PCI Development Kit (5000DK) which enables third party developers to integrate their systems with C-Bus. The PC Interface can be programmed to generate the C-Bus system clock for communications data synchronisation on the C-Bus Network and also provides a software selectable Network Burden.

Installation of the C-Bus PC Interface on the C-Bus Network requires connection to the Category 5 unshielded twisted pair C-Bus Network Cable. The connection to a personal computer is via the on-board 9-pin D type serial connector or 8 pin RJ45 connector. The unit incorporates C-Bus and Unit/Communications LED indicators. These LED's indicate if the unit is powered and functional, if sufficient C-Bus Network voltage is available, if a valid C-Bus clock signal is present and if data transfer is currently taking place.

Like all the other units that make up a C-Bus system, the DIN rail C-Bus PC Interface is Australian designed, developed and manufactured by Clipsal Integrated Systems Pty Ltd.
