Simply Automated Computer Interface Module, UPB to USB
Description
The UMC series are plug-in modules designed to convert USB signals into highly-reliable, Universal Power Line Bus (UPB) signals. They provide a bridge between the PC/controller to the power line via the module's plug-in AC connection. This enables computer-based configuration of lighting scenes, switches, modules and other UPB devices, over the power line. UPB devices such as switches, multi-button controllers and schedulers are easily integrated in to a new
home or can replace switches and timers in an existing home. UPB technology requires no new or special wiring, it provides a flexible, low-costs alternative to hardwired or RF home lighting and
automation strategies.
The UMC-USB-W is ideal for an installer configuring any UPB devices with a laptop personal computer (PC) using UPStart software, since it plugs in to the popular USB port. The UMC-USB
is not recommended for connection of home automation controllers.
