About PCS PulseWorx UPB Powerline Interface Powerpack

The Powerline Interface Powerpack (PIP-TS) is an addressable powerline interface module and a power supply all in one unit. It is designed to provide both the 12VDC power and the UPB communication capabilities for the TouchScreen Timer (TSTD or TSTW) to control lights, appliances, and set heating/air conditioning systems remotely over the existing powerline. PCS is the leading developer of Universal Powerline Bus UPB technology. The PIP-TS incorporates the very latest Gen II advancements, PowerPulse, a dual-transmitter circuit which allows every transmission signal to have 50 percent or more power to even further improve communication reliability. Operation: Although specifically designed for use with the PulseWorx TouchScreen Timer (TST), the PIP-TS can also be used by developers of software or hardware-based automation controllers, as the standard UPB powerline interface device and power supply. This will allow any other device that has an RS-232 serial port and meets similar power requirements to be UPB compliant. The PIP-TS has an output of 12VDC unregulated at 500mA maximum. It operates at 4800 baud and communicates the exact same simple ASCII-based command/report protocol found in the Message Mode of our PIM-R Powerline Interface Module. This enables a simple solution for developers to become a PulseWorx Partner and create UPB Enabled devices without having to become a Licensee or embed a chip and bring high voltage into their device. Easy To Install and Configure: The PIP-TS is simple to install - just plug it into any wall outlet and connect a CAT-5 cable (up to 50 feet long) between it and the TouchScreen Timer. UPStart Setup software will allow the PIP-TS to be added to any UPB network as well as perform communication testing or adjust its receive sensitivity in noisy environments.
