Gerard Industries Pty Ltd _____________________________Software SuiteThe C-BusD-33Important Notes :Selecting an Addressing ModeThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 allows for selection of two different addressingmodes. This affects how Unit and Network Address information will be displayed inthe Database or Network Browsers. The Topology Manager and Network Diagnosticscreens are also affected. The following choices are available …Decimal AddressingUnit Addresses defined in the range 000 to 255. Addresses consist of three validdecimal digits from 0 to 9.Hexadecimal AddressingUnit Addresses defined in the range 00 to FF. Addresses consist of two validhexadecimal digits from 0 to 9, A to F.The Hexadecimal mode of addressing would most likely be used by persons familiarwith earlier versions of the C-Bus Installation Software, as all addressing haspreviously been presented in hex.For Example :The following table shows a decimal address, and it’s equivalent representation inhexadecimal.Decimal 000 005 010 190 255Hexadecimal 00 05 0A BE FFVersion 98.1C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 User’s Guide

Gerard Industries Pty Ltd _____________________________Software SuiteThe C-BusD-34The C-Bus Tag SystemThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 offers many improvements in the way the userinteracts with programming variables (addresses) and how this information is storedon the PC. A new Tag system has been implemented, which associates thehexadecimal addresses downloaded to the Units, with a descriptive field. This Tag fieldallows for sensible description of the load under control, or otherwise, easing thereadability and understanding of the way Units on a C-Bus Network are configured.It is important to understand that the Tag information is only stored on thecomputer. Any Network scanned that does not have a database defined for it will nothave any Tags to describe the hexadecimal fields. By default the value of thehexadecimal address will be used as the Tag. Sensible descriptions can be assignedsimply by editing the default T ag.In the same way, any unknown Network scanned that has the same Project Name asan existing database will utilise the Tags for the existing database. These Tags maynot accurately describe the controlled load.Project FilesData files for each C-Bus Project are stored on the PC in it’s own separate directory.The default path is as follows :• C:\CBUSV2\PROJECT S\ProjectName\The following file types are created for each Project :• ProjectName.DBF• ProjectName.MDX• ProjectName.TAG• ProjectName.TGB• ProjectName.TOP• ProjectName.ROUT he database fileIndex for the databaseTag fileTag history – a backup of the Tag informationThe Topology information for the installationMulti-Network routing informationProjects can be shared as a single file using the import / export facilities of the ProjectManager :• FileName.CB2Version 98.1C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 User’s Guide

Gerard Industries Pty Ltd _____________________________Software SuiteThe C-BusD-35Plug-In ArchitectureThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 is based upon a plug-in architecture. From timeto time the C-Bus Software will be upgraded, and new GUI’s made available to supportnew C-Bus products as they are developed.

Gerard Industries Pty Ltd _____________________________Software SuiteThe C-BusD-37Long File NamesThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 has been designed to run on some of the older16-bit Windows platforms, and therefore supports only 8 character file names. Longfile names supported by 32-bit platforms such as Windows 95 should not be used inconjunction with this software.Install LogAn install log file is created when the software is installed, listing all files copied to thehard disk of the computer. In the unlikely event that you experience difficulties inrunning the software, the install log can provide a useful reference identifying possibleconflicts.Minder MKIIThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 incorporates special features to enhancecommunications with the Clipsal Minder Home and Building Automation products.These features make it possible to program, monitor, and log activity on connectedC-Bus Networks without the need for a C-Bus PC Interface. Data is transmitted andreceived transparently through the C-Bus Interface SIM module via the RS232connection from the computer to the Minder Controller. For more information,please refer to the documentation supplied with your Clipsal Minder Unit.Backwards CompatibilityThe C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 is fully backwards compatible with all existingC-Bus hardware, and now includes support for new products in the C-Bus range, such asthe Scene Controller. These new products were not supported by V1.12. Older Unitsmay be interchangeably programmed with either version of the Software.It should be noted that many new features have been implemented in the V2.0Software. This includes the descriptive addressing (Tag) conventions. Since thisinformation is a part of the C-Bus V2.0 Database only, it is not downloaded to Unitson the Network. Only the associated hexadecimal addresses are stored in the Units onthe Network. Any subsequent usage of previous software versions will therefore notmake reference to or recognise the descriptive addresses – only the hexadecimaladdress associated with that description will be referenced. Care should be taken wheninterchanging software platforms in order to avoid unexpected Tag assignments.C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 Databases are not compatible with those created inearlier versions.Version 98.1C-Bus Installation Software V2.0 User’s Guide
