Introduction
Overview
Ethernet IP enabled controllers equipped with variety types of control ports. Control ports include bi-directional serial
channels RS-232/422/485, serial outputs, versatile ports, infrared outputs, general I/Os, 24 volts relay outputs, DALI, KNX,
DMX512 and EnEcean ports.
The Ethernet port allows for bi-directional IP control of any manufacturer IP enabled products. All models are fully compatible
with CUE‘s existing range of button panels and touch panels through and comes equipped with a CUEwire port.
For lightweight controllers, IP communication is CUEnet2 only, that means IP device control and e-mails are not supported.
Internal IR sensor allows capture IR codes and, for some models, 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 controller keeps date and time with its on-board real time clock (RTC) and thus allowing for a wide variety of distributed
intelligence scheduling applications.
For most of controllers, single cable Ethernet connection provides easy network integration. The controllers are equipped with
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology enabling an Ethernet network cable to deliver both data and power.
This controller comes complete with a web server and allows setup through a standard web browser. Unit programming is
based on CUE’s standard programming tool Cue Visual Composer.
All models comes complete with a web server and allow for setup through a standard web browser.
Aluminium enclosure allows tabletop or 19” rack using Rack Mounting kit. In addition many DIN rail compatible models are
available.

DALI
This galvanically isolated port provides connection to DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The port does not
provide DALI power supply which must be ensured by external DALI power source. DALI units are equipped with a diode
bridge so that devices can be wired regardless of the cable polarity.
DALI is a data protocol and transport mechanism that was jointly developed and specified by several manufacturers of
lighting equipment. The DALI standard is specified in the 60929 IEC standard. The DALI protocol allows for the maximum of
64 fittings on a single network and the network can be divided into up to 16 different possible areas.
Connection is provided by pluggable terminal block 2 x 4 push-wire connection, AWG 18-22.

DMX
DMX512 (Digital MultipleX) is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage
lighting and effects as well as interior and architectural lighting. DMX512 employs EIA-485 differential signalling at its
physical layer, in conjunction with a variable-size, packet-based communication protocol. It is unidirectional.
The controller equipped with DX512 input and output ports can work in three basic modes.
1. The unit is the master control unit of the DMX512 bus. Only DMX output of the unit is functional in this mode.
2. This mode is useful if there is some master controller of the DMX512 bus, for example a stage console. In this mode it is
possible to use the unit to read the levels of particular channels pushed from the DMX512 control console to the DMX
input, change it and send the new values to the lights.
3. This mode can be used in the same hardware configuration as in Mode 2, but in this case the unit only re-sends
commands from the master DMX console unchanged to the DMX output.
Each DMX512 port can be used as input or as output port.
