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.

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.

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.

IR/SERIAL

This type of port provides

▪ Output for infra-red emitters (IR Adapter /i, IR Sprayer), maximum IR output rate is 1.2 MHz. ▪ RS-232 serial output (one way), maximum serial data rate is 115 200 Bd (bps), output signal levels

for RS-232 are in the -12 V to +12 V range.

The IR outputs and RS-232 outputs can be combined on independent outputs (for example three outputs can be used as IR, five outputs can be used as RS-232).

GENERAL I/O

General I/O provides analog input as well as digital output. Each General I/O port can be used either as input or as output.

Pull-up resistor 680 ohms is connected to +5 VDC and can be switched on and off for each I/O independently. I/O voltage with pull-up on is approx. +4.3 VDC, because protection diode is connected in series (0.7 V dropdown).

Analog input is rated 0 – 5 VDC. Analog to digital (A/D) converter has 10-bits precision (i.e. 1024 levels).

Digital output can switch max. 24 VDC / 80 mA. Output voltage for output switch on is approx. 0.6 V.

Each CUEunit can be identified by a unique identification name. Unique names are most useful in applications requiring more than one CUEunit. This enables programmers and installers to reference CUEunits with logical, user friendly names, like “boardroom,” “lobby,” etc.

To set the CUEunit identity, enter the unique name you wish to use in the Name box.

This page is used for setting the communication parameters for your CUEunit.

The CUEunit uses standard internet protocol (IP) communication parameters. Certain parameters can be reset by the user. On start up, this page will display the CUEunit’s given Physical address (MAC), Current IP address. Carefully note this addressing information (and any changes you elect to make to the IP address, subnet mask, or default gateway). This information must be entered into the Cue Visual Composer program written for your specific application. For control systems with more than one CUEunits, a unique IP address must be given to each CUEunit.

Some control systems are “stand alone” and not part of a larger network. For such “stand alone” systems, the Host name is optional. However, for control systems that are connected to a larger network, please obtain the Host name from the network administrator, and enter it into the corresponding box.

Applications

controlCUE Controllers | Admin Web

This page is used for uploading compiled Cue Visual Composer programs to your CUEunit.

All uploaded applications are listed on this page, along with their file properties: file name/file size/date. The CUEunit has a generous memory; unused free space is shown at the bottom of this page. CUEunit also permits other service functions like deleting files, downloading programs back to a personal computer, and starting/ stopping specific applications.

A “running flag” denotes the active application. The running application can be stopped via the Start/Stop button. Likewise, a stopped application can be restarted with the Start/Stop button.

Files are uploaded from a personal computer to the CUEunit by selecting the desired application program, and clicking the Upload button. Files are downloaded from the CUEunit to a personal computer by clicking the File name. Files are easily deleted with the Delete button. The button Total stop stops a running application. This application will not be automatically started after reset.

File Storage

The CUEunit’s generous memory can be used as an auxiliary file storage device. This is helpful for storing presets, in archiving electronic manuals, pdf files, and other support documentation. File storage is managed via the file storage page.
