Network Bridge provides a communication channel between C-Bus units
on separate networks, expanding the total number of units that can be congured,
controlled, and monitored.
Network Bridge
Product Features
• Increases transmission distances by acting as
a repeater station for data transmission
• Expands the total number of C-Bus devices
that can operate on the system by isolating
devices to individual networks [In parallel: 50
networks (50 network bridges) In series: 7
networks (6 network bridges)]
• Indicates each network’s status level
• Stores operating status in non-volatile memory
for recovery from a power outage
• Uses built-in connectors to connect to a
C-Bus
network
Distributed Intelligence
• Compatible with all C-Bus devices and
Powerlink
®
NF3000G3C controllers
• Easily congured by using the C-Bus Tool Kit
software
