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.
