Where to download the SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission V2.2.0?
Release Date: 02/04/2024
Version: V2.2.0
Reference: C-Bus-Commission_V2.2.0
C-Gate: 3.3.0 (build 1825)
Operating systems: Windows 11 Professional (64-bit), Windows 10 Professional (64-bit), Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit), Windows 10.

What’s New 
• Dimmer conversion will add default channel name
When converting older LE dimmers DIMDN4 or DIMDN8 (L5504D2A or L5508D1A) to the new digital dimmers DIMDD4 (5504D2D) and DIMDD8 (5508D1D), the software will now automatically insert a default channel name per channel.

• Network Summary for a C-Bus Network
The C-Bus Network node will show the summary of network information and status including the C-Bus Current supplied and consumed values plus the network impedance value. This data is only taking the project devices into consideration (not the live network devices).

• View the in-built C-Bus power supply status of C-Bus Digital Dimmers on the live network
An icon has been added to the Status column in the Network Devices section of the C-Bus Devices workspace indicating whether the in-built C-Bus Power Supply for the new C-Bus Digital Dimmer (DIMDD4 and DIMDD8) is enabled or disabled.

Fixes
• Project conversion issues. The software will now show correctly when a project has truly failed to convert. Issue with projects in “Waiting” resolved.
• Multiple confirmation dialogues when delete a device in project.
• When transferring to a C-Bus Automation Controller and C-Bus Application Controller, updating a Tag Map name will create an Object if one does not exist, this can result in additional objects created in controller that were not defined in the Object List. Note, this release of SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software is only compatible with the C-Bus Automation Controller and C-Bus Application Controller firmware version 1.16.0 (when using the Controller Sync function).
• Warn Before Off Enable Group in live network Digital Dimmer is blank and not auto created during a network scan.
• Network burden property of Digital Dimmers did not update the C-Bus summary data (not included in network calculator).

Known Issues
• A slight delay may be seen when switching views back and forth between the Measurement and Error applications where a large amount of data (150 items or more) exists.
• Clicking on the Main Menu repeatedly will result in a decrease in software performance. C-BUS COMMISSION RELEASE NOTES 2
• Switching projects 10 or more times will result in a decrease in software performance.
• Measurement application values presented from the live network may not appear truncated and rounded to reasonable decimal places.

Why does the Unit Indicator on C-Bus output units i.e L5512RVF/L5508D1A flashing?

Hide Show

This indicator shows the status of the individual unit. A continuous green light (OK) indicates the mains power is connected. If the indicator is flashing it means that any one of the four channels has been toggled (using the override facility) into a state different to the C-Bus network.

If any of the output channels have been toggled (using override facilities) into a state other than is present on the C-Bus network, this indicator will flash with a 90% on duty cycle.

What type of LED's can be used on C-Bus Dimmers?

Hide Show

Firstly you will need to confirm whether your C-Bus system contains C-Bus Leading Edge Dimmers or C-Bus Universal Dimmers, You may need to consult with your EcoXpert in Light and Room Control which one(s) you have if unsure. 

The general recommendations for LED compatibility with C-Bus Dimmers is as follows
1) Ensure your LED's have a dedicated LED Driver (electronic transformer) that supports your C-Bus Dimmer type
2) Bench test that the LED Driver is of good quality and works as expected at your site
3) C-Bus Dimmer channels require >25W of load if less is connected to a specific channel that channel will require the addition of a 31LCDA (Load Corrective Device)

C-Bus

4) If the dimming range of the LED fittings is specified by the manufacturer - the installer can programmer the Min/Max settings of the C-Bus Dimming channel to match the LED fittings dimming range.

Note:
C-Bus Leading Edge Dimmers will require LED's which have electronic transformers (LED Driver) which support Leading Edge AC phase control dimming (as noted in the compatible loads section of the installation manual)

C-Bus


C-Bus Universal Dimmers will require LED's which have electronic transformers (LED Driver) which supports Trailing Edge AC phase control dimming (as noted in the compatible loads section of the installation manual).
Although Universal Dimmers can support leading OR trailing edge AC phase control dimming it needs to be exclusively one or the other (NOT BOTH). As such LED Drivers which note LE/TE LED Driver are NOT suitable for the Universal Dimmer. 

C-Bus
IMPORTANT: Clipsal by Schneider Electric & Schneider Electric DO NOT make LED's which are compatible with C-Bus NOR can we recommend specific LED Drivers for your C-Bus Dimmer type as LED Dimming and Driver technology is continually changing. The above is a guideline to assist you choose a compatible LED with dedicated LED Driver that supports your dimmer in question. As noted above please have your EcoXpert in Light and Room Control bench test LED Fittings and LED Driver for suitability on your C-Bus Network.  

How to enable a C-Bus Network Burden via Learn Mode?

Hide Show

This FAQ explains how to enable the software Network Burden via Learn Mode.

 

We can enable the software burden via the Toolkit software or by using a hardware burden, but if Toolkit isn’t scanning correctly and you don’t have a hardware burden, use the following process:

 

To enable the Software Network Burden via Learn Mode:
1. Find any Learn Mode output unit.
2. Press and hold down any of the Quick Toggle buttons, on any of the output
unit for 10 Seconds. The Unit and C-Bus LED begin to flash alternately.
3. Quickly double press any of the Quick Toggle buttons on any output units.
If successful, the Unit LED will flash rapidly and all the Quick Toggle
Buttons will turn on.
4. Double press the same Quick Toggle button again, and you will see that
the C-Bus LED change state. This particular unit is now in Super Learn
Mode. If the C-Bus LED is on the Software Burden is enabled.
5. Each time the same Quick Toggle button is double pressed the C-Bus LED
will toggle between on and off. This corresponds to the internal Network
Burden being turned on and off.
6. WARNING: When you exit learn mode, all of the Quick toggle buttons that
are on, will have the corresponding Group Addresses deleted. If you wish
to retain any previous programming on that particular unit, turn off each
Quick Toggle button before performing the next step with a single press.
7. To exit Super Learn Mode press and hold down any of the Quick Toggle
buttons for 2 seconds.

Note: The Unit Address of the unit that you put into Super Learn Mode will now have
the Unit Address 001 (01h).

The software Network Burden will now be successfully enabled on the output unit
that was put into Super Learn Mode.
