Group Address

A group address is used to make associations between the button of an

input unit and the channel of an output unit. They are used to emulate

physical connections between loads and switches. Any C-Bus messages

that are sent by an input unit will only change the state of the channels on

an output unit with the same group address. This allows:

 A number of C-Bus output unit channels to be controlled by a single

button on a C-Bus switch (with the same group address)

 A number of buttons on different input units to control the same load, by

giving them all the same group address.

Inside of an application address, there are 256 group addresses (0 to 255).

C-Bus allows the creation of up to 255 different group addresses on each

application address.

NOTE: Group address 255 is a reserved group address. This reserved

address is associated to the default setting of <Unused>.
