Clipsal started to sell its new Black & White Touch Screen. It has diagonal 4.7″ and offers resolution 320 x 240 pixels. Thanks to enhanced contrast and superior backlighting the work with panel should be very comfortable. The panel can be programmed via USB port, which can be used as PC adapter, using Clipsal software (PICED). Additionally, it has RS232 port for integration with third part systems.

The panel doesn’t require additional power supply. It should be enough just connect it to the C-Bus network. There are two variants of that panels: with C-Bus Logic Engine features and without them.

The new Clipsal Black & White Touch Screen is available with price £649.84 (with C-Bus Logic Engine features) in the Cbus shop.

Clipsal have released the first C-Bus to PC interface that doesn’t require RS-233 or a serial to USB converter - 5500PCU. It offers following:

• Provides a native USB connection front a PC to a C-Bus network
• Housed in a 4M DIN Rail enclosure
• The USB port is easily accessible from the front of the unit
• Utilizes a sturdy USB B-Type connector
• The unit is supplied complete with a 3m USB cable
• The unit uses the same US cable type as the 5500PACA
• Contains a C-Bus network burden and is capable of generating a C-Bus system clock signal

The 5500PCU is available at price $328.71 as well as RS232 version.

P. S. LinuxMCE doesn’t support C-Bus at all. There is a topic in the forum with request of support that technology. The easiest way is to create a GSD software interface but to do that you have to know the protocol description.
