Software based on latest open standards
AUTOMATED LOGIC HAS released the lat- est software for its WebCTRL building automa- tion system.
It includes support for the latest open stand- ards for building automation and control sys- tems, as well as new commissioning and data visualization tools.
These enhancements help building own- ers future-proof their building automation and control networks for accessibility, in- teroperability and security while keeping occupants comfortable and maximizing en- ergy efficiency.
Automated Logic president, Mead Rusert, said supporting open standards is a key element of the company’s strategy to lead the future of building automation.
“We continue to advance our open architec- ture so that we are positioned to offer the most scalable, interoperable and secure building au- tomation solutions in the industry, whether
those solutions are hosted on-site or in the Cloud,” he said.
Highlights of the latest WebCTRL 8 software include BACnet protocol revision 19 and BACnet Secure Connect. There is also support for the lat- est industry-standard Internet Protocol (IPv6) and Haystack Compatible Semantic Tagging.
Project Haystack is an open source initiative that provides standard naming conventions for data generated by smart devices in applications such as automation, control, HVAC, energy and lighting.
Building owners and consultants can specify Haystack conventions in building automation systems for cost-effective analysis and manage- ment of data, both now and in the future.
Another feature is Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) Floorplans, which is an open standard for vector-based graphics on the web.
It also features commissioning and data visu- alization tools. ACxelerate VAV Auto-Commis- sioning (ACx) automates the commissioning of
single-duct, dual duct and fan-powered (series and parallel) VAV terminal unit dampers and re- heat valves.
The tool, which is used by Automated Logic Dealers and Commissioning Agents, includes in- tuitive health reports to show building owners and facilities staff that their VAV systems are op- erating as designed.
Moreover, building operators can now easily sort, search and link to building data within re- ports knowing WebCTRL has the latest security enhancements.
