Applied firmware package: v1.2.0b9 | LDC software: v2.5.10b1
Taurus as a Controller Concept
Userscript feature supports the automatism in UCX series devices. The Userscript can be upload and run
in
,
tab in Lightware Device Controller Software. The script packages are created by
Lightware, please contact your sales representative for help.
Security:
Userscript does not need Serial over IP when it sends serial messages from the UCX to the controlled
device (e.g. projector) via serial port, only the secure ports remain enabled.

GPIO Interface
The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) port is a multifunctional input/output interface to control the
switcher or third-party devices and peripherals. You can establish the connection between the controller/
controllable device and the switcher by the 8-pole Phoenix connector. The direction of the six pin is
configurable independently from each other.
GPIO Options - Example
#new
Ceiling lamp is turned off by Relay 1 and projection screen is rolled down by Relay 2. Both relays are controlled
by the GPIO port.
When the PC starts to play the video presentation, the signal is received over the HDMI input so GPIO pins
send signal to Relay 1 to open which results turning off the lights. Furthermore, GPIO pins also send signal
to Relay 2 to close and the projection screen is rolled down. When the presentation is ended, signal ceases
on the HDMI input, so GPIO pins send signal to Relay 1 to close which results turning on the lights and sends
signal to Relay 2 to open so projection screen returns to its enclosure.
Userscript feature supports the automatism in UCX series devices. The Userscript can be upload and run
in
,
tab in Lightware Device Controller Software. The script packages are created by
Lightware, please contact your sales representative for help.
Security:
Userscript does not need to use the unsecured ports for GPIO management.
ATTENTION!
Please always check the electrical parameters of the devices what you want to control. The
maximum current of one GPIO pin is 30 mA, the maximum total current for the six pins is 180 mA.

OCS Interface
OCS Application Example
#new
When the occupancy sensor detects people in the meeting room, the UCX switcher turns on the ceiling
lamp.
Userscript feature supports the automatism in UCX series devices. The Userscript can be upload and run
in
,
tab in Lightware Device Controller Software. The script packages are created by
Lightware, please contact your sales representative for help.
Security:
Userscript does not need to use the unsecured ports for OCS management.
In case of applying Leviton OCS (

external resistor between the 1st and the 3rd pins is necessary.

Further Built-in Features
5.12.1. Device Cloning – Configuration Backup and Restore
The device (configuration) cloning of UCX series switcher is a simple method that eliminates the need to
repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory) settings. If the devices are installed in
the same type of system multiple times then it is enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and
then copy those settings to the others, thus saving time and resources.
Cloning is possible between devices using the same firmware version. All LW3 settings, WelcomeScreen
Image and UserScript will be saved.
Please note, that clone file can be download and upload via HTTP or HTTPS, so 80 or 433 port have to be
enabled.
See more information about the settings in the
section.
