LonWorks Communication Modules

The LonWorks Communication module interfaces directly to LonWorks communications network. LonWorks is a key open system protocol used in building automation, transportation, and process control. Providing a standard generic profile allows most of the more common Standard Network Variable Types (SNVT's) to be bound to the module for data transfer. The LonWorks Module provides two-way connectivity to energy management systems, HVAC controls, VFD, generators and building control systems available from such manufacturer's as Honeywell, Circon, Johnson Controls, Distech Controls, Echelon, Tridium, Loytec, and many more.

BACnet Communication Modules

BACnet is a widely used protocol used by major building automation system manufactures in control systems and devices to monitor and control building operations. In process control plants it is often necessary to interface the building management information with the process control information. The BACnet module is the only device capable of interfacing BACnet data directly to ControlLogix. These modules are available for BACnet PTP, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet Ethernet and BACnet IP.

Metasys N2 Communication Modules

Johnson Controls Metasys N2 is used in building control systems and devices manufactured by Johnson Controls and their broad range of Metasys by Johnson Controlspartners. The JCI Metasys Module can act as a Master or Slave and can handle over 3000 addresses.

Building Automation Systems Communication Modules

Building Automation Systems (BAS) include BACnet, Metasys, and proprietary protocols such as Carrier, Caterpillar, Cleaver Brooks, Data Aire, McQuay, TAC, York and many others. Building Automation Protocols are utilized by a wide variety of building devices including HVAC, VAV, boiler controls, chillers, air conditioners, fume hoods and more. The BAS drivers normally enable two-way communication from ControlLogix platform to these devices.

Notifies NCA Fire Alarm Panels

We have drivers for most Fire Alarm Control Panel manufacturers, including Notifier, Simplex, EST (GE Security), Fike Cheetah, Grinnel TFX/Minerva, Hochiki, Siemens, VESDA, Spectronics, Gamewell, Silent Knight, Secutron and others most Fire Alarm Control Panel protocols are primarily one-way communications due to the restrictions set by the NFPA.
