SECTION 1 TYPES OF UCM
The Universal Communications Modules allows Comfort to connect via RS232
interface, USB or Local Area network to a computer or external equipment. The
types of UCM include;
UCM/ETH02
The UCM/ETH02 has a RJ45 jack for connection to an Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN) using the TCP/IP protocol. The UCM/ETH02 is a new model
which replaces the UCM/Ethernet. UCM Firmware 5.228 and above is required
for UCM/ETH02.
UCM/USB
The UCM/USB has a USB interface for connection to the USB port of a PC. The
UCM/USB is supported by Comfigurator 3.0.0 onwards.
The term UCM is used when describing functions common to all the above UCM
modules which have identical functions.
UCM/232F
The UCM/232F provides RS232 serial interface to Comfort. UCM/232F is not
usually used for Comfigurator since computers normally do not have serial
ports.
UCM submodules
1 UCM06 is the baseboard to which RS232/F, R232/M USB01, ETH01
daughterboards can be added to make up UCM/232, UCM/USB and
UCM/ETH02 respectively. The UCM06 allows the flexibility of using different
interfaces by plugging in the appropriate daughterboard.
2 USB01 daughterboard. Plugs onto UCM06 to make UCM/USB.
3 ETH02 daughterboard. Plugs onto UCM06 to make UCM/ETH02.
4 RS232/M and RS232/F daughterboard with Male and Female RS232
connectors respectively. Plugs onto UCM06 to make UCM/232M and
UCM/232F.
This manual describes the UCMs with firmware 6.080 and above. For
UCMs with firmware < 6.080, the old manual 3.66 can be downloaded
from http://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=159
The UCM/USB, /ETH02 and /232 have the following common functions:
1 It allows configuration on the U2 EEPROM on the UCM to be transferred to
Comfort. This is a useful tool when programming, testing or troubleshooting
Comfort installations.
2 The Comfigurator software requires the UCM to read and write the
configuration file to Comfort.
3 It allows a PC or other controller to communicate with Comfort allowing
third party products or software (e.g. Wizcomfort) to work with Comfort .
The Comfort command protocol can be requested from [email protected]
for the purpose of development of third party interfaces or software.
4 It also allows Infrared signals to be learned and saved as .ifr files which can
be assigned to Comfort IR codes via Comfigurator.
Universal Communications Module
3

5 Allows other Flash-based Comfort and UCM firmware to be upgraded using
Comfigurator Firmware Upgrade.
6 Comfort Voice/Vocabulary (new version of language) can be written to
Comfort using Comfigurator.
There are also application-specific UCMs which interface to specific third party
systems for example, UCM/CBUS for Clipsal’s CBUS, UCM/KNX for the KNX Bus,
UCM/Ulti for Ulti lighting swtches, UCM/Zwave, UCM/GSM for GSM/SMS
Interface, etc. These UCMs cannot be used for programming Comfort. They are
described in their individual manuals. All user and installation manuals are
available from the Cytech website http://www.cytech.biz/manuals.html

SECTION 2 UCM SETTINGS
Getting Started
This section is common to UCM/232, UCM/ETH02 and UCM/USB
Connections
Connect the UCM to Comfort using the supplied white cable with 4-way
connector on both ends. It plugs into JP2 or JP2A on the UCM and “RS485”
4-pin header (J6) connector on Comfort II. This supplied cable can be used for
short runs (about 30 centimeter). If the UCM is located further from the
Comfort panel, up to 100 meters, use a cable with 3 twisted pairs. 12V/GND,
KA/KB are to be paired with one pair as spare. Shielding is not necessary. The
UCM may also be connected from the SEM modules. Ensure that polarity is
correct as this is a common cause of problems with communications.
It is not necessary to switch off power to Comfort before plugging in the UCM
connections. The UCM is often connected in order to transfer a configuration file
using Comfigurator.
The firmware programming cable is used only when upgrading
firmware on Comfort or other modules. It should not be connected to
Comfort in normal operations as it will disable Comfort.
Set UCM ID using SW7
SW7 (RS485 ID) 4 way DIP switch should normally be set to 1 according to the
table below (positions A,B,C, D ON) if this UCM is used for programming
Comfort using Comfigurator, because when this UCM ID is disconnected,
Comfort does not report “Communications Failure”, while with UCM IDs 2 to 8,
communications failure will be reported.
Comfort is able to support up to 8 UCMs. SW7 is a 4-way DIP switch which
determines the UCM ID, according to the table below.

ID
Table 2.1 - RS485 ID Settings (SW7)
Other UCMs or types of UCM may be connected for interfacing to C-Bus, KNX,
Velbus or others. These other UCMs should be set to higher-numbered IDs, up
to 8. UCM IDs should be sequential, i.e. there should not be any missing ID
numbers, i.e. 1,2,3,4 and not 1, 3, 4, 5
If the ID is changed while power is on, RESET the UCM by pressing the RESET
switch SW1 on the UCM.

Make sure that only 1 UCM has ID=1 in the system, otherwise there
will be an addressing conflict which will prevent proper
communication.
ID Setting using COPY Switch (from UCM 6.080)
From UCM Firmware 6.080, the UCM ID can be changed by use of the COPY
switch. If SW7 A to D are all OFF, then the UCM ID is determined by the
saved setting in the U2 EEPROM. Pressing the COPY button momentarily will
show the ID on its leds as shown below (in binary code)

ID
To change the UCM ID assignment, press and hold the COPY button for at least
2 seconds. The UCM ID will be incremented to the next higher number up to 8.
Press and release the COPY button to increment the ID until the desired ID is
seen. If the COPY button is not pressed for 4 seconds, the ID is confirmed and
the UCM is reset causing all the LEDs to momentarily turn on.This setting
only works if the U2 EEPROM is present and the SW7 DIP switches are
all open.
If the ID is unassigned, all leds are ON.
Comfigurator > Modules Tab
The UCMs in the system are shown in Comfigurator >> Modules Tab
Right Click UCMs and select Scan for UCMs or Scan for All Modules to discover
all UCMs in the system provided the UCMs have been set so that each UCM has
a unique ID.
Universal Communications Module

After Scanning for modules, do a Transfer > Write to Comfort to write
the number of modules to Comfort.
LED Indications
Once the UCM is connected with the ID setting set correctly, the LEDs D10
(green) and D9 (red) will flash continuously, and the D1 RDY green LED should
stay on. The RDY LED indicates that the power is on. D10 green led blinking
indicates RS485 data is being received from Comfort, and D9 Red led blinking
indicates the UCM is replying to Comfort. The BUSY1, BUSY2, and ERROR LEDs
should be off. If the LED states are not as described, see the Comments column
or the Troubleshooting section

Idle Behavior
LEDs
Table 2.2 - LEDs states on UCM board in idle mode
If the RDY LED is not on, press the RESET button on the UCM. This may happen
when connecting the UCM 4-way cable to Comfort without turning off power.
RESET on the UCM usually starts the UCM to operate correctly.

UCM/ETH02
Figure 2.3 UCM/ETH02
The UCM/ETH02 module allows the Comfort system to be connected to a Local
Area Network. This module converts the serial data of the UCM to the
industry-standard TCP/IP protocol over the Ethernet. This allows the
Comfigurator software to read and write Comfort configuration and allows
Wizcomfort which is a stand-alone user software to access Comfort, over the
LAN instead of using a serial port on the PC. It also allows the Comfort iPhone
App to connect to Comfort, see http://www.cytech.biz/iphone_app_1.html
The UCM/ETH02 can be located in or next to the Comfort panel, and far from
the PCs on the network (up to 100 meters away).
The Comfort serial protocol can be used by third party developers to develop
customized applications for Comfort over the network or Internet.
