Testing cbus unit addresses in a loop

Hi all,
I have been asked about the tssting of unit addresses, not gate addresses. Is it possible to set up a loop in logic to first get all unit addresses then cycle through them and for each one send multiple status requests and keep a log if you get bad return data. Then loop through all addresses for this. Create a log file for each address.

Or any part of this...

Reason is to check if a unit is not operational over time and is very intermitant.

 

Logic has the GetUnitStatus function but to use it you have to set up a monitor on each unit you want to check so it's not very useful for testing all units. If you had a particular unit you were interested in it might be worth investigating.

I'm afraid it's back to Cgate again

 

Cheers Ashley

 

I think you will find this facility is available in C-Bus diagnostic utility.
Download a copy of diagnostic utility, connect to C-Bus and then run the reliability test.
Leave it run for as long as you want but make sure you laptop doesn't go to sleep.

 

Thanks Wonkey,
The guy who is asking about this did say that he tried that but it didn't find anything at fault.

 

If it's an intermittent fault, main culprits are Power supplies failing, moisture on open ends of cable, maybe where a PIR was planned and never installed,
Poor RJ45 plugs check for dust or corrosion.
Very old install key input capacitors failing.
