    Hi everyone,

    I am currently supporting an older C-Bus installation in Greece. Unfortunately, due to water damage, I need to replace the following units:

    • 1x 5500PC (PC Interface)

    • 1x L5512RVF (12-Channel Relay with Power Supply)

    • 2x L5512RVFP (12-Channel Relay without Power Supply)

    • 1x L5504D2A (4-Channel Dimmer with Power Supply)
    My understanding is that the older "blue series" products have been discontinued and replaced with the newer "white series" (SpaceLogic) devices. However, Schneider Electric in Greece no longer supports C-Bus locally.

    Could you please help me with the following questions:

    1. Is there a European online shop that still sells newer C-Bus devices?

    2. Are the newer SpaceLogic units fully compatible with the older ones on the same network?

    3. For programming the new modules, can I still use the classic C-Bus Toolkit, or do I need to use the newer SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Best regards,

    Christos

    Hi,


    1. Is there a European online shop that still sells newer C-Bus devices? - unsure, however greece uses the same voltage and frequency as australia? Could you buy from here and ship?

    2. Are the newer SpaceLogic units fully compatible with the older ones on the same network? - yes they are

    3. For programming the new modules, can I still use the classic C-Bus Toolkit, or do I need to use the newer SpaceLogic C-Bus Commission software? - youll need to have the latest toolkit software and the new space logic

    FYI.. the 12 channel relays have been replaced by 16 channel versions which are the same size, so depending on whether all 36 of the existing relay channels were used, you might be able to get away with 1 less unit.

    Also all the new dimmer and relay units have the integrated power supply (which can be turned on or off).
