Backup current config on CBUS and Wiser 2 system

Hi all,
Is it possible to backup current config (project) of my CBUS and Wiser 2 system? The people who install this to the house is no longer in business and I can't get it touch at all, and there are some mistakes on the project (eg: missing sensor enable/disable, wrong labels on eDLT, etc).
Could you please tell me what I need, which interface I should use? I'm happy to pay for those instructions and equipments if needed.
I'm located in Melbourne, the west side near highpoint shopping center.
Thank you.

 

Unfortunately neither the Cbus or Wiser configuration files are stored in any of the units. The colour touch screen is the only unit that does this. It is possible to recreate the cbus config file by scanning the network via the wiser using the free toolkit application, but this will only give you numbers and you will have to manually figure out what circuit they apply to and assign meaningful names to them. It's a bit tedious but certainly possible. An experienced installer could to it a lot quicker for you. As for the Wiser you would have to recreate the project from scratch using the free PICED software. Creating the pages is not difficult, but the Wiser can also contain program logic to perform special functions and this is a whole lot more work.

 

Wiser 2 does contain all the C-Bus project and Piced project information that you need.
I Checked with a PC that had no Toolkit or Piced on it, installing new software and starting from blank.
Ensure you install Toolkit First followed by Piced
Open Piced and select the
Transfer project from unit button hit Next
Select Wiser 2 Hit Next
Use the Auto search to find the Wiser 2 (ensure your PC is on the same Network)
Select your Wiser 2 ensure that the retrieve project from wiser is ticked and you know where it being saved,
you may need to add a folder or 2 just for good house keeping
e.g. C:\Clipsal\PICED\Projects\Home
Press the Start Button followed by Next after confirming the file location.
Next you will be asked about the C-Bus project tick the box to Copy C-Bus project press Next
If asked about upgrading project just agree with it, (this bit may be a little messy if the original project is very old lets not worry about that at the moment).
ZigBee project just hit Next
Press Finish
Hopefully you will be presented with a Project.ctd open it and all being well you will have what you want.
Suggest saving the project with a new name
Go to save as
Go up one folder so you are in the Projects folder
Create a folder (look at icons to right)
Change the * on the file name to what you are going to call the project. (I keep mine the same name as the folder name typically)
Save

Check Toolkit that you have the Toolkit project that you have a project.
Good luck

 

You are quite right. It does work on Wisers. Must be old age creeping in
