D
The ipCUE-alpha is a member of Ethernet IP enabled controller family.
The 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. The ipCUE-alpha is fully compatible
with CUE‘s existing range of button panels and touch panels through and
comes equipped with a CUEwire port. For convenience there has also
been a +5 VDC output added to the design for powering external low-
voltage equipment. The ipCUE-alpha is equipped with internal IR sensors.
The 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 ipCUE-alpha keeps date and time with its onboard
real time clock (RTC) and thus allowing for a wide variety of distributed
intelligence scheduling applications.
The ipCUE-alpha comes complete with a web server and allows for
setup, configuration, and testing through a standard web browser. This
web-based interface allows for the graphical monitoring and control
of all ports, which provides a truly time saving method for testing and
troubleshooting.
