    I have restarted my C-Bus basic training and am stuck on a question. Can anyone tell me what is the maximum number of addresses in:

    A) Network addresses
    B) Application addresses
    C) Area addresses
    D) Group addresses
    E) Levels
    F) Unit addresses

    Sorry for such a basic question, I have to get in 100% right before I can move on.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cbus is based on 8 bit data so the range is 0-255 for all addresses and levels.

    I am stuck on the same question. They are asking for some on 255 and some on 256?
    Can anyone help me?

    As mentioned previously the range is 0 to 255 therefore Maximum of 256 addresses.
    But some addresses are reserved, now depending on how the question is worded you could imply that:
    Levels are 256 as you can select the full range
    The rest are 255 as you can only select 0 to 254.
