URC Module Overview:

Background On URC Support of Converging Systems Devices

Firmware Requirements Overview:

Minimum Hardware Firmware Releases Requirements

Step 1. Commission CSI Controllers

Commission all connected ILC-xx0/IMC-xx0 and/or DMX "Fixtures" as per Converging Systems’ Quick Start Guides or Full Version Installation Guides (see below for links).

MOST IMPORTANTLY, ASSIGN ALL Zone/Group/Node and Short Alias Names before proceeding to next Step.

• ILC-x00 CONTROLLERS--Download the most recent Converging Systems ILC-xxx Quick Start Guides (under Lighting Controllers/Quick Start Guides) here
• IMC-xxx/CVM motor channels--Download the most recent Converging Systems Motor Installation Guides (under Motor Controllers/Installation Guides) here
• DMX fixtures (within the e-Node/dmx)--Download the most recent Converging Systems DMX Quick Start Guides here and Programming Manuals (under Gateways e-Node/xx) here

Note: For a detailed/more exhaustive URC Integration Note, review additional information available from URC within Accelerator

Step 2. Locate/Download latest TCM files/Module

If you do not have the latest URC Module in your system file for Version 3.03.0216.2 or later, go to the URC Dealer Portal to download the latest files. The [Core] module contains all the system data that runs and operates the module. [Core} modules do not display on any interface.

Note: For URC OS 3.03.0216.2 and later, Accelerator uses one TCM file to communicate with (i) each Converging Systems gateway with an IP address (i.e., e-Node/xxx, CVM, IMC-170 or OEM branding for such) as well as (ii) any connected load devices (individual ILC-xxx controllers, individual DMX fixture(s) or IMC/CVM motor control channel(s) connected to that gateway). If there is more than one (1) e-Node in the project, add a single core per e-Node.

Step 3. Adding and Configuring the Module

1. Select a Room into which the core will be added
2. Select IP Database
3. Select Lighting category
4. Select CONVERGING SYSTEMS from the brand list
5. Select GATEWAY [Core] from the model list
6. Select Add Selected Modules to add it to the project

Step 4. Adding and Configuring the Module (continued)

1. The Unified Module-Room Selection window pops up. This window is asking what rooms to provide access to the unified module
2. When adding a lighting device, select the rooms in which Lighting Control and Shades Control will be displayed
   Note: If other unified modules have already been added to the project, do not deselect rooms when adding a new unified module. All unified modules share the Access Control, Climate Control, Lighting Control, and Scene Control buttons
3. Select Apply

Step 5. Network Setup

1. Select Non URC Device
2. Enter the permanent IP Address for the device
3. The Port can be left as is

Step 6. Properties Manager-Module Parameters

1. Select Module Parameters of the [Core]
2. The Module will be automatically selected for you
3. Enter your Converging Systems credentials (typically Telnet 1 for username and Password 1 for password)
4. Select Apply Changes

Step 7. Edit User Interfaces

1. Select Accelerate

Step 8. Macro Editing

1. Select Accelerate
2. Make additional programming changes as needed within the remaining steps. Once completed, save the project and Download to the system

APPENDIX 1. Two-Way Module Commands

Two-way module commands are special functions that are derived from the two-way module, and are the only way to send discrete commands to the Converging Systems eNode.

Before creating a macro, ensure the correct device has been selected from the Available Devices list

APPENDIX 2. Query Commands

Query Commands allow the Total Control system to ask a device for information. The information can be saved as a variable and used in conjunction with conditional logic to create advanced reactive macros

Device Events

The Converging Systems module has the ability to trigger custom macros based on device status changes within Converging Systems

APPENDIX 3. Device Events

The Converging Systems module has the ability to trigger custom macros based on device status changes within Converging Systems
