Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
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).

3.2 Rackmounting
The Rackmounting Shelf (CB-CP-RMK) provides a simple solution for installing controllers in a 19-inch rack. It allows you to
install up to two half-rack sized controllers in a single 19-inch unit rack space. All necessary accessories are supplied with the
shelf.
Attach the controller to the Rackmounting Shelf using two M3 x 6 screws to the female threads on the bottom side of the
controller - see picture below. The M3 x 6 screws are included with the Rackmounting Shelf. Don’t use longer screws; this
might damage PCBs inside the unit. If you install only one controller, use the cover panel delivered with the shelf.

4.3.1 Capturing IR Codes
All controllers are equipped with an IR capture sensor and are able to capture IR codes. Captured IR codes can be used in both
controller models.
The capture procedure consists of the following steps:
1. Connect the capture unit and the PC with ControlBridge Builder to the same Network.
2. Arrange the IR remote and the capture unit as described below.

• Be sure to set the proper distance between the capturing unit and the remote unit to accommdate the the capturing unit’s
requirements.
• Start ControlBridge Builder and go to the appropriate driver and command
• Set the IP address of the unit used for capture.
• Push the Start Capture button in ControlBridge Builder and then press the appropriate button on the IR remote.
