C-Bus home and building automation system is commercialised under Clipsal by Schneider Electric. It is a powerful, fully integrated system that can control and automate lighting and many other electrical systems and products. Implemented for commercial or residential building automation, it brings control, comfort, efficiency and ease of use to its occupants.
C-Bus networks enable the control of lighting and other electrical services such as pumps, audio-visual devices, motors and blinds. They can be used to control virtually any types of electrical loads, from simple on/off control of a lighting circuit to a variable type control, such as those for LED lights that can be dimmed. The C-Bus network has a number of notable qualities.
Using Clipsal C-Bus, clever home automation engineers can uniquely transform their homes through:
• Classy interior design: homes can be beautified with glass or stainless steel facia C-Bus wall switches or C-Bus touchscreen home automation controllers. Enjoy mood-transforming lighting scenes that also control motorised blinds, curtains, or shutters.
• Surprising convenience: be delighted using C-Bus to automate lighting, exhaust fans, heated towel rails, zoned heating/cooling, ceiling fans, blinds, curtains, or shutters and automatic watering. Enjoy automated checklist execution when away-arming your security or going to bed, and convenient monitoring and control from smartphones and Internet tablets.
• Future-proofing flexibility: accommodate your changing needs by simply reprogramming your C-Bus system without rewiring. Easily add C-Bus home automation devices by simply connecting to your nearest existing C-Bus cabling.
Clipsal C-Bus is a family of home automation products that communicate with each other on a dedicated network. The system can be set in ways that allow several functions to be activated by pressing a single button. Home automation never looked so good.
