Application Addressing
Applications are used to divide the C-Bus network into independent functional systems. All group addresses in any unit are associated with
that unit’s applications, and commands issued by a C-Bus input device will affect only output devices with matching applications and group
addresses. Up to 255 application addresses may be used on a single C-Bus network. By default, ve applications are dened: Enable Control,
Heating (Legacy), Lighting, Telephony and Trigger Control. Other applications may be dened as needed. For example, in a multi-storied
building it may be desirable to have a separate application for each oor to satisfy the need to have more than 255 group addresses on the
network, or to allow the same group addresses to be used over and over (e.g. OFFICE01, MENS01, CONF01, etc.). In this case, dened
applications might be Lighting01, Lighting02, etc.
