C-Bus | General

Configuration

  • CNI IP Address: The IP address of the C-Bus network interface that the controller is communicating with.
  • CNI Port: The IP port used to communicate with the C-Bus network interface. This should be the same port used for communications between the CNI and the C-Bus Toolkit software.
  • Communication Failure Output / Output Group: This output or output group is activated when there is a communication failure with the CNI.

Options

  • Enable Text Output: Enable this option to convert communications from the controller to a human readable format. This allows for debugging if a monitoring device is used in place of the CNI; however, the integration will not function with this option enabled.
  • Add CR to Text Output: When Enable Text Output is in use, enabling this option adds a carriage return character onto the end of each message.
  • Add LF to Text Output: When Enable Text Output is in use, enabling this option adds a line feed character onto the end of each message.
  • Log C-BUS PCI Failure Message: With this option enabled, error events will be logged when the CNI fails to initialize. This option may be useful for initial configuration and troubleshooting but should be disabled during normal operation to save event storage.
  • Log C-BUS ACK Message: With this option is enabled, events will be logged for each acknowledgement (ACK) packet received from the CNI. This option may be useful for initial configuration and troubleshooting but should be disabled during normal operation to save event storage.
  • Log C-BUS Data Activity: With this option enabled, events will be logged for all packets sent to and received from the CNI. This option may be useful for initial configuration and troubleshooting but should be disabled during normal operation to save event storage.
