The Universal Communication Module (UCM) provides a full-featured communications gateway between Blue Sky Energy's Integrated Power Net (IPN) based charge controllers and external systems. It functions as a gateway and datalogger, featuring a built-in WebServer, FTP, and remote access via port forwarding. It supports Standard Modbus RTU via RS485 and Modbus/IP, and includes a TCP/IP connection. The UCM can log up to 33 key performance parameters for up to 128 days, with data downloadable as an Excel (.csv) file. It also delivers an HTTP website for data view, parameter setup, and simultaneous data log file download to two locations. The UCM is compatible with any IPN compatible charge controller (with a lowercase 'i' in the part number, e.g., SB3024iL) and receives both power and IPN network communication from the charge controller via an RJ-11 phone jack. It resists corrosion with conformal coating.
