BACKGROUND.The Intelligent Bus Translator (IBT-100TM) is a robust, standalone, serial interface converter/firewall for CS-BusTM and other RS-485 devices. This ingenious device enables automation systems providing RS-232-C capability to control CS-Bus TM equipment (lighting control and motor/shading products) up to 4000 feet away-reliably and inexpensively! The IBT-100 is designed to provide the highest degree of circuit protection and galvanic isolation for CS-BusTM devices. The CS-BusTM (based upon the hardware specifications of RS-485) forms the communication backbone for a number of Converging Systems’ controller devices including the BRICTM, the IMC-100TM intelligent motor controllers as well as the ILC-100 TM lighting controller.
