'''C-Bus''' is a communications protocol based on a seven-layer [[OSI model]] for home and building automation that can handle cable lengths up to 1000 metres using [[Cat-5]] cable. It is used in Australia, New Zealand, [[Asia]], the [[Middle East]], Russia, United States, [[South Africa]], the UK and, other parts of Europe including [[Greece]] and [[Romania]]. C-Bus was created by [[Clipsal|Clipsal Australia]]'s ''Clipsal Integrated Systems''<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.clipsal.com/Trade/Products/Integrated-Systems | title=Browse Clipsal's innovative electrical products and solutions | Product Catalogue - Clipsal by Schneider Electric | access-date=2015-09-21 | archive-date=2016-03-04 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304155205/https://www.clipsal.com/Trade/Products/Integrated-Systems | url-status=dead }}</ref> division (now part of [[Schneider Electric]]) for use with its brand of home automation and building [[lighting control]] system. C-Bus has been briefly available in the United States but [[Schneider Electric]] has now discontinued sales in the United States.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.schneider-electric.us/sites/us/en/support/faq/faq_main.page?page=content&id=FA241002&viewlocale=en_US&country=US&lang=en&locale=en_US&redirect=true | title=Why can't I purchase Schneider Electric US Lighting Control products any more? | Schneider Electric USA | date=10 August 2012 }}</ref>
C-Bus is used in the control of [[domotics]], or [[home automation]] systems, as well as commercial building lighting control systems.
Line 21:
More than one C-Bus power supply can be connected to a C-Bus network to provide sufficient power to the C-Bus units, the C-Bus power supplies will share the load evenly.
Each C-Bus network requires a network burden if there are insufficient C-Bus units on the network.
Each C-Bus network requires at least one system clock-generating unit for data synchronization.
Line 45:
The C-Bus protocol was developed using the OSI 7-layer reference model. C-Bus supports several interfaces such as RS232 and TCP/IP and makes these protocols available to third-party companies.
C-Bus interface specifications are available through the [http://www.cbus-enabled.com/what-cbus.htm C-Bus Enabled Program] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060813114913/http://www.cbus-enabled.com/what-cbus.htm |date=2006-08-13 }}, however it is necessary to agree to a license agreement.
