WHAT IS Clipsal C-Bus Automation Systems?
In 1994 Clipsal launched the Clipsal C-Bus home automation system is a microprocessor-based wiring system used to conveniently control lighting and other electrical devices from one central location. C-Bus can control and automate almost any type of electrical load in your home or business, from dimming lights, or operating air conditioning units, to switching on a TV. C-Bus information is held within individual C-Bus units rather than one central point, which ensures optimum communications speed and reliability.
To ensure fast and reliable operation, each device has its own built-in microprocessor, which can be individually programmed via ‘point and click’ PC-based software, or via ‘Learn Mode’ which doesn’t require a PC.
While a computer isn’t necessary for normal C-Bus operation, C-Bus PC-based control and management software is available and provides additional flexibility to clients requiring this type of control. Clipsal C-Bus is suitable for a wide range of applications.

DALI
The DALI system was created by leading lighting manufacturers who recognised the need for a common luminaire interface. DALI was engineered to meet the new challenges of lighting control – more flexibility, greater scalability of control and faster installation.
DALI stands for Digital addressable lighting Interface and since it’s development in the 1990’s has become one of the dominant standards for control of lighting control gear.
DALI is most advantageous in buildings that are likely to have a high churn rate and require flexibility for configuration. One of the greatest advantages of DALI is that every light throughout a project can be individually controlled and queried. DALI lighting control enables wiring to be simpler, reduces the cost of installation and allows architects and designers to create high-performance lighting that is easily matched to the requirements of each building’s occupants. If a DALI system is installed in your premises the lights fittings etc will need to be DALI driver or module installed as usually this is an option from the manufacturer.
But to get the most from any DALI system a well designed and implemented control system is required. This could be a number of control systems such as Clipsal C-Bus which provide the “smarts” such as timing, logic, overall control, sensor and switches. This is arguably the most important component as without a working control system the DALI will never deliver the full potential and flexibility.
