eBuilding is your foundation for lower costs and increased
efficiency in energy management, comfort control and facility monitoring.
eBuilding maximizes your long-term value by integrating the latest
building automation standards with commercial information technology,
giving you standards-based solutions that are Internet powered, BACnet
compliant and IT friendly.
eBuilding incorporates ASHRAE BACnet/IP
for Ethernet communications and BACnet RS-485 MS/TP for I/O device
networking. Combined with eBuilding's native XML and HTTP support, BACnet
ensures your building automation investment will be preserved many years
into the future.
Anywhere, anytime access to facility management
information through a standard web browser is certainly a part of
Internet-powered facility management. But there's a lot more.
Web-enabled isn't enough. Internet-powered is the future.
Internet-powered facility management includes the ability to
remotely view animated, graphical web pages for remote system diagnostics.
Even more, it includes the ability to modify control logic and operator
screen graphics over the Internet. All through standard firewalls without
special ports, maintaining information system security.
Internet-powered also means using XML as a core component of the
system to maximize compatibility and integration. HTTP and XML are used
for controller data communication to simplify system integration. In
addition, all eBuilding network controllers include Ethernet TCP/IP ports
so there is no need for gateways or custom network
interfaces.
eBuilding employs the industry standard Apache web
server, enabling the use of off-the-shelf administrative tools and
ensuring easy migration as web technology evolves.
Bottom
line? The eBuilding line is a complete, integrated set of system
components including network level controllers, programmable and
preprogrammed unitary controllers, a modular I/O system and a fully
integrated set of configuration and user interface software.
