2.1 Description

The ControlBridge units are Ethernet IP enabled controllers equipped with various types of control ports. Control ports include
bi-directional serial channels RS-232/422/485, serial outputs, versatile I/O ports, infrared outputs, general I/Os, 24 volts relay
outputs, DALI, KNX, DMX512, and EnOcean ports. The Ethernet port allows for bi-directional IP control of any manufacturer
IP enabled products. All models are fully compatible with ControlBridge button panels.
An Internal IR sensor allows users to capture IR codes and, for some models, receive IR codes from hand-held remotes.
Convenient for testing and troubleshooting, the ControlBridge Unit also has front panel indicator LEDs to indicate the status
of all the control ports.
The controller keeps date and time with its on-board real time clock (RTC), allowing for a wide variety of distributed
intelligence scheduling applications.
A 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 the Black Box standard programming tool ControlBridge Builder.
Both models include a web server and allow for setup through a standard web browser.
The aluminium enclosure can be installed on a tabletop or a 19-inch rack using the ControlBridge Control Processor 19-inch
Mounting Kit (CB-CP-RMK).
