C-Bus FAQs

No, programming a live a network device can only be done once deployment is finished; however, you can select a project device, load it into the properties window, and program it accordingly along with other project related tasks. 
 

 As of SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission v2.15.0, projects of file types: *.c2z, *.cbz and *.xml can be imported as a C-Bus Project 

Changes can be reflected if the project in C-Bus Toolkit is refreshed by clicking Projects in the menu bar, followed by Refresh

The Workspace of a project can be refreshed by clicking on another node, and then back on the node you were previously working on

As of C-Bus Controller firmware v2.5.0 the UI generated by the Manager Plugin will scale appropriately

The Quick Link for the Manager Plugin's UI is: Controller's Ethernet IP Address/apps/data/manager

For example, if the IP Address is 192.168.0.10 then the quick link is: 192.168.0.10/apps/data/manager 

The C-Bus Controllers can be temporarily powered using a USB-A to USB-B cable via the USB-B port on the front of the controller; however, this only provides limited functionality.

For full functionality the C-Bus Controllers require 24VDC

When connected using a USB-A to USB-B cable, you can access the controller's internal web server by:

1. Open a supported browser

2. Entering in the IP Address: 192.168.254.10 (default - does not change)

Use the provided link and select the appropriate firmware for your C-Bus Controller (5500NAC2 or 5500AC2):

C-Bus Firmware

For any Voltage Free Relay, the C-Bus Clock can be enabled or disabled via the front panel, by pressing and holding down the top left channel button, and short pressing the top channel button second in from the right.

For any Voltage Free Relay, the C-Bus Power Supply can enabled or disabled via the front panel, by pressing and holding down the top left channel button, and short pressing the top right channel button.

Note: By default both the C-Bus Clock and C-Bus Supply are disabled.

For any Digital Dimmer, the C-Bus Clock can be enabled or disabled via the front panel, by pressing and holding down the top left channel button, and short pressing the top channel button second in from the right.

For any Digital Dimmer, the C-Bus Power Supply can enabled or disabled via the front panel, by pressing and holding down the top left channel button, and short pressing the top right channel button.

Note: By default both the C-Bus Clock and C-Bus Supply are disabled.

The mounting bracket, 5000MP, used for the existing eDLT’s can be used for the Solis™ C eDLT’s

The power consumption of the Solis C eDLT’s are the same as the previous models, 32mA

It is recommended to install the Solis C eDLT vertically, as the LCD display graphics cannot rotate with the orientation.

SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission v2.15.0 or higher supports the capability to program eDLT's with the following characteristic:

Hardware: v3.0
Firmware: v2.X

A firmware upgrade of an eDLT to v2.X can only be done in C-Bus Commission; however, the eDLT must support hardware v3.0.

Some key points to remember when performing a firmware upgrade using C-Bus Commission:

• In C-Bus Toolkit, you can only upgrade an eDLT’s firmware up to v1.8

• Once you upgrade the firmware to v2.X, you cannot revert to an earlier version

• A firmware upgrade to v2.X will factory reset the unit; the device will need to be re-programmed

For the 5502CDGP230, the C-Bus Clock can be enabled or disabled via the front panel, by pressing and holding down the MANUAL button on Line A, and short pressing the ID button on Line B.

A Read DALI Gateway scan helps to rebuild a project from a live/existing & operational C-Bus DALI-2 Gateway that has been previously configured.

The scan retrieves the information stored on the live gateway, including its own programming and programming all connected DALI Devices.

As of C-Bus Commission v2.15.0, the available scans for a DALI are:

1. DALI Scan

2. DALI Device Type Scan

3. Read DALI Gateway

4. Discover Faults

Note: A Scan can also be done by pressing the INSTALL button of each line on the front of the unit

Alternatively, power cycling the touch panel will also navigate you to the Countdown Page, after which you can tap Settings

No, the touch panels have different power requirements which means the plug pack for the 5000ETP10W can't be used. However, both devices support PoE so that method can be re-used. 

The 5000ETP10WB is not compatible with the Solis C Touch Panel. A list of compatible & incompatible wall boxes, brackets, plates & clips is provided below:

A custom frame may be required to be made for 5000CTCWB, 5000CTCNA & 5000CTCRM to help ensure a clean installation.

When replacing an existing Key Input Unit with the Solis™ Key Input Unit, a cut-out modification is required for the product to fit, and the new fascia extends approximately 33 mm further at the bottom compared to the existing Key Input Unit, while remaining the same at the top.

The IP Rating of the Solis™ C Key Input Units is IP20
