1.3 PC Interface
A PC Interface provides a communication path between a personal computer and a
C-Bus network (see Figure 2). With a PC Interface and the C-Bus Toolkit software, you can:
• program and issue commands to C-Bus units
• monitor a C-Bus network, logging network activity.
A C-Bus PC Interface can:
• generate a system clock for synchronised data transmissions
• apply a network burden to the C-Bus network.
Figure 2 – A PC interface lets you connect a computer to the C-Bus network
NOTE A C-Bus Network Interface serves the same function as a PC Interface, but
connects to a PC using an Ethernet connection rather than an RS-232.
The C-Bus PC Interface uses a proprietary ASCII command language for
communicating with a PC. Detailed protocol information is available to
approved applicants, from Clipsal Integrated Systems (CIS). Please contact a
CIS representative for more details.
