controlCUE Controllers | Introduction
Introduction
Overview
Ethernet IP enabled high-end controllers equipped with variety types of control ports. They are at least ten
times more powerful compare to ipCUE controllers lineup.
Control ports include bi-directional serial channels RS-232/422/485, serial outputs, infrared outputs up
to 1.2 MHz, general I/O ports that can be configured as analog inputs or digital outputs and 24 volts relay
outputs. The Ethernet port allows for bi-directional IP control of any manufacturer IP enabled products. All
models are fully compatible with CUE‘s existing range of button panels and touch panels through and comes
equipped with a CUEwire port.
Internal IR sensors allow capture IR codes and receive IR codes from hand-held transmitters. Convenient for
testing and troubleshooting this model also comes with front panel indicator LEDs that indicate the status of
all the control ports.
The controller keeps date and time with its on-board real time clock (RTC) and thus allowing for a wide
variety of distributed intelligence scheduling applications.
All models comes complete with a web server and allow for setup through a standard web browser.
Enclosure allows installation to 19” rack using Rack Mounting kit.

Programming
All controllers have to be programmed using Cue Visual Composer. These models are not compatible with
Cue Director XPL.
Four rubber feet are provided for shelf placement or stacking. Stick the rubber feet near the corner edges on
the bottom side of controlCUE - see picture below.
Rubber feet
Rack Mounting
The Rack Mounting Shelf (CS0449) provides simple solution for installing controllers to the 19” rack. It allows
to install up to two half-rack sized controllers to single 19” unit rack space. All necessary accessories are
supplied with the shelf.
Controller is fixed to the Rack Mounting Shelf by two screws M3 x 6 using female threads on the bottom side
of controller - see picture below. Screws M3 x 6 are bundled with Rack Mounting Shelf. Don’t use longer
screws to avoid damage of PCBs inside the unit.
If you install only one controller use cover panel delivered with the shelf.
This chapter describes front panel equipped with indicators and IR sensors.

This Green LED indicates
▪ The end of the operating system boot up by ashing OK in Morse code. Operating system is booted
after the unit has either been reset or switched on. The booting time is approx. 15 seconds.
▪ Capture ready during IR capture.
IR SENSOR
The window marked by IR SENSOR covers two IR sensors and one LED indication.
1. The built-in IR sensor carries the same functionality as irCUE Receiver or irCUE Receiver 485. This
means that controlCUE can receive IR signal from CUE wireless IR control panels without the need to use
any external IR receiver.
2. The second built-in IR sensor allows IR codes capture. The yellow LED indicates the received infra-red
signal is ok and it helps to set optimum distance between the receiver and captured IR remoter.
SERIAL Port Indicator
Off No data transmitted or received through the serial port.
Green On or Flashing Data is being transmitted through the serial port.
Red On or Flashing Data is being received through the serial port.
IR/SERIAL Output Indicator
Off No data or IR code transmitted through the IR/serial port.
Yellow On or Flashing Data or IR code is being transmitted through the IR/serial port.
