PCS PulseWorx UPB Powerline Interface Module (PIM)

Computer Interface For UPB Devices

The PulseWorx UPB Powerline Interface Module (PIM) is the perfect device for interfacing your PC or dedicated controller with the powerline. Using PCS’s patented UPB 2-way powerline communications technology, the PIM can both transmit and receive UPB messages via simple serial message sets, giving the host software the ability to perform true 2-way powerline communication.

• Interfaces your PC or controller with the powerline
• ‘Always on’ pass-through outlet provides traditional, continuous power
• Multicolor LED indicates UPB powerline signal and modes of operation

There are two versions of the UPB Powerline Interface Module: 1) RS232 – Standard RS232 through a PC’s Comm port; 2) Interface to a standard USB port. In addition to the interface, both the RS232 and USB models (PIM-R/PIM-U) provide a pass-through outlet that allows you to plug in devices that do not require UPB control.

UPB PulseWorx Lighting Control System

An integral part of a complete PulseWorx Lighting Control System, this device uses the patented UPB powerline communication technology (invented by PCS) to reliably communicate with any other UPB-compatible devices over the existing house electrical wires. No new wires are necessary, thus making PulseWorx perfect for retrofit situations. When initial configuration is complete, a single push of a button is all you need to activate any group of lights (or virtually anything else that connects to AC power wiring) throughout the house simultaneously.
