    Hi all,
    I look after a venue that has 16 network bridges all Clipsal 5500nb. The relays are 2 channel. There are two cni units. The system was installed in y2k. We upgraded system to cbus version 2 about 3 years ago.
    Lately we have been changing out the brides due to networks being degraded. The Bridges are approx. 5 years old. Does this seem to be a short life span for the units?
    We seem to have a problem with the networks every couple of weeks.
    Could there be a communication or power supply issue.
    Any advise would be appreciated.

    I hope this is not the case.

    Mine has been running for about 9 years now with no issues (knock on wood). Its in a panel in a room in the shed that can get quite warm so its not the "best" environmnet for it [temperature wise].

    As long as I can keep the mice away from it (they have killed two 12ch relays now) I hope it will continue for a lot longer.
