For full details, refer to the UCM/CBUS Manual from http://www.cytech-technology.com/manuals.html

Specifications
  • Size 108 x 88 mmm UCM baseboard with C-BUS SIM (Serial Interface Module) daughterboard.
  •  Power Supply: 12V 30 mA (supplied from Comfort)
  • Connected to C-BUS via bus cable (2 wires).  Comfort is electrically isolated from C-Bus.
  •  Sends messages to 256 Group addresses for Lighting Application or other applications though local or remote network C-Bus Networks.
  •  Monitors Lighting Application Group Addresses for 128 Group addresses 0 to 127.
  • Synchronizes the date and time between Comfort and C-BUS via the Time/Date Application.
  •  Comfort (partially) implements the C-Bus Security application.  Comfort automatically sends Alarm information  which can be displayed on C-Touch. The following status messages are supported: Armed/disarmed, Exit Delay Started, Entry Delay Started, Alarm Active, Tamper active/Inactive, Panic Active, Battery Status, Status Reports 1 & 2. The following Security Control messages are supported: Arm system, Activate/deactivate Tamper, Activate Panic, Emulate Keypad, Status 1 and 2 Request. 
  •  C-Touch can simulate a keypad allowing entry of user code and arming/disarming of Comfort.

Equipment
The following equipment is required
  • UCM /C-Bus Module with a plug-in C-BUS SIM module with firmware version UCM/C-Bus 5.45 or above. This  UCM type cannot be used to upload/download using  Comfigurator,  and does not support the RS232 communications protocol used for software programs which communicate with Comfort like the Comfort Web Interface (CWI) and Comfort Webserver module (CWM). The function of this UCM is only to communicate with the  C-Bus. The C-BUS SIM Module provides a serial interface between the UCM and the C-BUS network.
  • Comfort system with firmware version “Outside 4.166” or above. Comfort 4.204 and above will be compatible with the C-Bus Date/Time and Security Application, which are used for operation with the Clipsal C-Touch touchscreen.

I got sent a replacement CBUS UCM recently - but one thing I've noticed is the SIM module doesnt sit on the connector pins fully - it is very free to move about - and unless you are careful with the wires, it moves enough to not work.

 

Took me a few goes to get it in there -  but i am worried that the pins could bend and break at a later date.

Is this now the normal design ??

The SIM Module is small so there is room only for one mounting point. We will look at the pin connections to see if they can be more secure

Thnaks for the feedback

Odd - the first one I had was fine - the SIM module sat down perfectly.

 

This is the unit you arranged for a replacement for me - and it's this new one that doesnt seem to be mounted.

 

The module goes down about half way down the pins and is very very free to move. Hence my concern - might be easy for the pins to break when doing maintenance, etc.

 

Are all new modules like this or can this be resolved ??

Thats because of the use of plastic standoffs in the new design. The height causes the standard header to be a bit too long

Can we get the old plastic ones ? Should be pretty cheap !

 

Im more concerned over pins breakage/bending. With wiring tight in there, the wires can move the board - it's that loose.
