The CM-01 UPB Plug-in Triple Input/Dual Output (Combination) Module can not only control contact closures, it can also sense contacts opening or closing.

The input/output module plugs into a standard AC outlet. For the application where a device is to be controlled by opening or closing contacts (such as a gas fireplace), the fireplace control leads are attached to the connector on the bottom of the unit. For the application where a device provides a contact closure or voltage to be detected, again the leads are attached to the connector at the bottom of the unit. The CM-01 provides contact closure delivery circuits and/or three contact closure or voltage detect circuits.

The physical design of the appliance module provides optimum flexibility by the use of a pass-through electrical plug with a non-controlled outlet on its face, resulting in no loss of outlet availability for other household devices.

Use this device to build a Garage Monitoring System, enable Secure Entry, automate motorized blinds or for hundreds of other applications.

The key to the IO module’s function is the Universal Powerline Bus technology for communication applications. Use of standard electrical wiring for communication transmission is possible due to lower noise levels, stronger signal strength and improved reliability surpassing technologies such as X-10, CeBus and others. UPB technology also allows enough individually addressable devices to control the largest residential environment usually without the need for phase coupling and without affecting or being affected by adjacent home environments.
