We've designed a system upgrade path with our "upgrade kit" packages. They add all our latest features and innovations to fielded equipment by providing the latest web browser control, touchscreen, remote control features, plus the latest security and operations for all our systems. It smoothly interfaces with our control software platform RoutwarePRO as well.
Get Started
To get started, contact our sales department with your unit serial number (usually located on the bottom of the system). We can then verify and quote you the exact kit for your specific unit(s). As always, all our equipment comes with unlimited factory technical support so you can have complete confidence with your upgrade package.
Applications
Here is a list of a few of the products that can be upgraded with these kits:
Many times, today's global economy can force extended product life demands on fielded equipment. While keeping a leading-edge pace on the control technology for our products, Universal Switching has introduced our C3 Controller. Its major technological advancements in system control are directly coupled to our front panel touchscreen design.
We've designed these upgrade kits for most of our legacy systems where the benefit of all our advancements can be harnessed. The kits include a new front panel sub-assembly that is simple to install, a C3 Controller, all required hardware, and easy to follow field replacement instructions. To better illustrate the upgrade process, below is a sample upgrade installation video, plus a video demonstrating some of the excellent new features.
What do you get?
Our C3 Controller is integrated within all our new systems, however the following control improvements and features can be added to your legacy system with the installation of an upgrade kit:
Elegant color touchscreen
Choice of 4.3" or 10.1" screen size for 5RU and larger systems
Custom labels for inputs, outputs, and cross-point configurations
Real time diagnostics (power supply, temperature, fan speed)
microSD slot (optional microSD chip for HIGH SECURITY environments)
Intra-matrix capability
Built-in web browser GUI
Backwards compatibility mode
Flash memory (no dead batteries!)
User customize TCP/IP ports numbering
User customize mDNS host-name
Firmware updates over Ethernet

NOTE: The C3 Controller does not include a built-in GPIB port capability, so when upgrading a 2RU G2S400CE mainframe, there will be no GPIB port available. Likewise, when installing the C3 Controller in a unit where it installs at the rear, you will gain USB capability but again no GPIB port. We do have a GPIB-USB adapter for such needs.
