RS-232 / RS-485

This serial link is normally used to communicate with a remote PC running UPCOM

TECHNOLOGIES Monitor and Control Software. This enables a simple way to view / control

the Monitors and Controls listed above, and also enables the functions listed below.

Normally, either RS-232 or RS-485 is available at any one time (both interfaces cannot be

used simultaneously). Communication links using RS-232 are typically good up to 30 ft. (9 m)

in length. Installations exceeding this length should use the RS-485, which will allow serial

control up to 4000 ft. (1200 m).

Monitor and Control Software

UPCOM TECHNOLOGIES Monitor and Control Software is provided on CD for units equipped

with an onboard Microcontroller system. A Windows based PC uses this software to remotely

monitor and control the BUC through its serial port.

Various Monitors and Alarms are displayed along the left hand side of the interface. If a

problem has been detected, it will be displayed in red, and the Block Up Converters (BUC) will

be placed into a muted state.
