Re: CBUS Control Bus wiring topology

["Raymond Kelly" <raymondtkelly@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have them in a star, with a branch for every floor. On a single
floor the
components switches,PIRS are all daisy chained, and then meet the other
branches in a connector block - Krone, near to the Hager boxes. One cable
from the 3 Hager boxes comes into the Krone, and 3 go out to the floors!!
You really don't want to do point to point. The Krone block is housed in a
'12 way boiler connection box'.
