SYSTEM UNITS
The C-Bus
TM
PC Interface (PCI) expands options for conguring, controlling, and
monitoring C-Bus networks by providing an interface between the network and a
personal computer (PC) or other external device.
The C-Bus PCI module easily mounts to a DIN rail and connects to external devices
through its built-in connector ports. Power to the unit is provided through the C-Bus
network.
Product Features
• Unit/Comms LED shows the status of the
unit’s power and of any data transmissions
• C-Bus LED shows the status of the network
at the unit, including the level of network
power and the presence of the C-Bus clock
• System network clock for synchronizing
communications data
• Three RS-232 serial connectors for con-
necting to a PC or to external devices: (1)
9-pin D-type serial connector (female) and
(2) 8-pin RJ-45 connectors
• Two C-Bus network connector ports: RJ-45
sockets
• Data cable for connecting PCI and personal
computer, including DB9 connectors
