This would eliminate the need for a serial port expander. See the press release below for more details.
Northridge, CA (July 27, 2010) - PCS (Powerline Control Systems, Inc.), the inventor of UPB® technology, and ELK Products, Inc announced a strategic business alliance that will combine PCS' UPB technology and the ELK M1 Control Data Bus protocol into one interface device. This partnership would provide users of the ELKM1 and EZ8 control panels the ability to effortlessly control PulseWorx devices into system installations directly without the need of adding a Serial Port Expander and field wiring. The ELKM1PIM and PIM-E will be fully interoperable with other UPB enabled devices.
ELK and PCS currently share many customers in the Home Automation and Security industry. The new association between the two companies will offer system integrators of ELK and PCS more design flexibility and provide users more capability and ease of use at a lower cost.
"ELK is exactly the kind of company we're looking to work with," adds Scott Klodowski, Director of Sales and Marketing, Powerline Control Systems. "Alliances like these make both companies stronger and we can both benefit from that strength and pass it on to our customers."
