    we have a potential project wich needs:

    70 x 5070THBRPG
    170 x E5031RDTSL

    Did anyone have experience with something like that? Do you think C-Bus can manage it?

    We plan to use:
    10 х E5500CN
    Schedule Plus 10 networks software

    Sounds like you will run 10 separate networks (if using 10 x CNI).

    In that case, I think you will be ok as you would have an average of about 7 thermostats / network.

    Don't forget power supplies.. All of those devices will suck up the better part of 6A of CBUS Current, so you will need at a minimum 18 powersupplies, depending how the networks are configured..

    Without knowing exactly what the project requires from the CBus it is hard to judge if Cbus can really 'manage' it..

    Also sounds like the brains of it all will be a background PC.. This can have its own issues..

    Cheers,
    Nik

    Thank you.

    The plan is to control heating in many zones (relays in thermostats would do hat), also send commands to modbus ventilation (wago is used to translate c-bus to modbus).

    Also see all temps in schedule plus, control all zones temp setpoint and mode.

    This seems to be all for now
