FUNCTION
The X10 to UPB Bridge (model
PW513) is a plug-in home
automation interface that is
capable of receiving X-10
messages from a standard (PL-
513) 4-wire cable and
transmitting their corresponding
Universal Powerline Bus (UPB)
messages onto the power wiring
to remotely turn on, off, and dim
other UPB devices. The PW513
can be freely located anywhere a wall outlet exists throughout
the home. No additional wiring is required and no radio
frequency signals are used for communication.
FEATURES:
•
Simple plug-in installation.
•
Adds UPB ultra reliability to any X-10 compatible
controller.
•
Converts A-1 thru P-15 to UPB Links 1-255.
•
Flexible configuration of command mapping.

INSTALLATION
The PW513 is designed for indoor use with devices that plug
into a grounded power outlet. To install the PW513 module:
1.
Locate any free wall outlet near your X-10 controller.
2.
Plug the PW513 into the wall outlet (see illustration).
3.
Optionally, the device can be secured to the wall outlet
by screwing the wall plate center screw through the
device’s mounting tab.
4.

OPERATION
Once installed and configured your PW513 will operate on the
stored configuration settings without further user intervention.
All programmed data is protected by nonvolatile memory and can
only be changed or deleted by reprogramming, regardless of
power outage durations.
Device Code Mapping
In the X-10 world devices are selected to be operated upon using
the Device Code Message. The Device Code Message contains two
fields: the X-10 House Code (A – P), and the X-10 Unit Code (1 –
16) that are intended to identify a device (or set of devices) to act
upon the upcoming Function Code message. In the UPB world
devices are selected to be operated upon using the Link ID. Link
IDs can range from 0 to 255 and they are intended to identify a
device (or set of devices) to act upon the upcoming Message Data.
Note:
All PulseWorx™ dimmers come from the factory assigned
with Link IDs 1 – 6 & 8. All PulseWorx™ switches come from the
factory assigned with Link IDs 1 and 2.
The PW513 uses the received X-10 Device Code Message to map
to a UPB Link ID as shown in Table 1 below.
