C-Lution

Hi Gurus,

i'm back...

yah, going to have a c-lution control project in oversea, but i dun really understand how it works.

my understanding is, it is a real time monitor software for c-bus system, also link up with a security system.

Just like to know is the software user friendly?

Try to download the software from clipsal/cis but it is a update version. Just want to know more about this before i'm depart from mu country.

Anything i need to prepare?

C-Lution is a rebranding of the Citect SCADA product. C-lution ships with C-Bus drivers for C-Gate (designed for C-gate 1.5, not sure how it goes with C-Gate 2.x).

C-Lution is very powerfull and flexible. Consequently you may find quite a learning curve getting up to speed with it, especially if you want to use CiCode (proprietory scripting language within C-Lution).

I'm not sure about security system drivers for it. I don't believe that C-Lution ships with any security system drivers, but drivers may be available from Citect as they have native drivers for hundreds of devices. Although there drivers are normal targetting PLC's as the product has a Industrial Automation heritage.

 

Hi Richo,
Thanks for your reply, but currently i'm waiting for my senior to send me a detail on the new project.

Yah, my understand is, the security system called Sentinel (ST's product). there is a piece of card attached with, we called it C-bus control card. So, user can use the security KeyPad or dial in to trigger Clipsal controls (relay/dimmer).
Meaning, C-Lution can control the security system as well.

Will post our work of scope for the new project later.

Appreciated you share your expert knowledge.

 

I know this is of little help, but I just checked the Citect Drivers list and Sentinel isn't listed. It sounds like it is hard wire to C-bus inputs/outputs from what you described. As Richo says, Citect (C-Lution) is very powerful and with the right drivers can communicate with a wide range of mainly industrial controllers. From my experience with Citect it isn't as simple to setup and get going as you would be used to with a C-Bus system. However, it can perform a lot more things with logic, trending, animation, etc. once you get into it. I'd find out before you go as to who can provide you with support, I would assume it would be Clipsal??

Regards, CC&C.

 

Hi Gentlements,

i'm sad to tell, my new project for C-Lution is cancelled. Due to some business reason.

Anyway, i'm appreciated all of the comments from you guys with prompt respond!!

Have a good day!!
