1.8 C-Bus Clock
At least one clock must be enabled on the C-Bus Network. In the absence of a C-Bus clock, no
communication will be transmitted along C-Bus.
Note: This is not a real time clock, but a means by which communication is
synchronised.
There will only ever be one active clock on the C-Bus network, however it is recommended to have
multiple system clock generating units available for a redundant system. If multiple system clock
generators are available (enabled), the network will determine which unit will have the active clock.
IMPORTANT Where possible, avoid enabling a C-Bus clock on a network bridge or network
interface.
