Clipsal, a brand of Schneider Electric, is dedicated to
supplying end-to-end building management and
integrated control with the products, solutions and
programs to help meet customers expectations.
Utilising the Schneider Electric product basket,
complete end-to-end solutions are possible with
products catering for any type or size of installation.
With solutions ranging from power and lighting
control, dimming, energy management, for home
automation and commercial applications.
The Clipsal C-Bus® system is a microprocessor
based wiring system to control lighting and other
electrical services.
Whether on/o control of a lighting circuit or
analogue type control such as dimming electronic
uorescent ballasts, C-Bus can be used to control
and automate virtually any type of electrical load.
To ensure fast and reliable operation, each device
has its own inbuilt microprocessor, which can be
individually programmed via ‘point and click’ PC
based software, or via ‘learn mode’ which doesn’t
require a PC.
C-Bus information is held within individual units
rather than one central point. This ensures optimum
communication speed and reliability.
Whilst a computer is not necessary for normal
C-Bus operation, PC based control and
management software is available and provides
additional exibility to clients requiring this type of
control. Clipsal C-Bus is suitable for a wide range of
applications, for example:

in high rise buildings

saving
