    My company sales team quoted wrongly for a cbus project and we have fallen short of cbus power supply units. Placing an order for cbus powersupply now is not possible cause it will take too much time for the units to arrive and our company could b penalized for the delay.

    Is there some way to make a customized powersupply by maybe using a DC adapter or something?...or is it possible to get the circuit diagram?

    Any help will b appreciated.

    No, you need a C-Bus power supply. Where are you located? I'm sure assistance can be offerred.

    C-Bus uses a special high AC impedance power supply to allow power and communications to share the same pair of wires. It is not possible to use a DC plug pack. This will damage the C-Bus units.

    Using any power supply other than the correct ones will also void your warranty.

    Your best chance, as Conformist said, is to try to find someone nearby with some spares.

    Most C-Bus DIN Rail output units are also available with/without 200mA integrated C-Bus power supplies. This is additional to the 350mA stand-alone power supply unit. If there's another installer nearby, you might be able to swap some units with them?
