CUE ipCUE - Manual (Page 5)

1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The ipCUE are Ethernet IP enabled controllers. These controllers are well suited for single-room applications
as well as huge multi-room, multi-floor distributed control applications. The ipCUE controllers come with
multiple control ports well suited for home applications as well as commercial. The control ports include bi-
directional serial ports RS-232, bi-directional serial ports configurable as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, infrared
outputs up to 1.2 MHz that can be configured to control up to three pieces of equipment, general I/O ports that
can also be configured as analog inputs, digital I/O ports, 24 volts relays and 230 volts relays. The Ethernet
port allows for bi-directional IP control of any manufacturer IP enabled products. The ipCUE controllers are
compatible with CUE‘s existing range of touch panels, button panels and interfaces. Some controllers are
equipped with +5 VDC and/or +12 VDC output added to the design for powering external low-voltage
equipment. The units are equipped with internal IR sensor (except ipCUE-gamma). The sensor allows to
capture IR codes and links IR wireless control panels. Convenient for testing and troubleshooting all controllers
also come with indicator LEDs on the front panel, which indicates the status of all of the control ports. The
ipCUE controllers keep actual time with its built-in real time clock (RTC), thus allowing for a wide variety of
distributed intelligence scheduling applications. The ipCUE controllers come complete with a web-server and
allow for setup and configuration through a standard web browser.
