Powerline Control Systems, Inc. and ELK Products Inc. Create Strategic Alliance
This partnership will develop, manufacture and market an ELKM1 Bus specific UPB Powerline Interface.
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.
PIM-E / ELKM1PCSPIM
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."
The new partnership will allow many PulseWorx products to connect directly on the ELK network and provide a seamless control interface, as well as allowing virtually unlimited system feature expansion over the electrical wiring.
"We have partnered on many projects with PCS and I believe this alliance is a perfect extension of that relationship" said Todd Hudson Director of Sales and Marketing, ELK Products, Inc.
This interface device will be available in early August through both PCS and ELK Products. The PulseWorx product line is sold through a network of distributors, certified integrators and authorized dealers.
