2 S y s t e m C a p a b i l i t i e s The Controls MACH-System enables you to: 1B uild native BACnet systems exclusively with Controls products U se the BACnet protocol to interface with Original Equipment Manufacturers products. A dd to another vendor s native BACnet system using Controls products. M ix legacy Controls products BACnet protocol networks into one system. U pgrade all earlier versions of MACH controllers (Air, Zone, 1, 2, Net) to native BACnet networking. C onfigure a controller for either BACnet or Controls protocol while in the field. O perate a Controls native BACnet system with another vendor s BACnet software.

3 N a t i v e B A C n e t What does native BACnet mean? It means the BACnet operating stack is embedded directly in the device. Every Controls panel has the BACnet stack at the board level. Every Controls panel is peer-to-peer. There are no additional management devices required for communications with other vendor s products. Our BACnet implementation lets the controllers do all the talking reinforces the simple, flexible, economical benefits that are the hallmarks of Controls. F u t u r e - P r o o f i n g Your building automation system will begin paying dividends immediately through energy savings improved comfort. Future-Proof your facility by insisting on native BACnet control products realize the following benifits: S A V E S BACnet will not become obsolete. It is an open stard protocol that can easily be ex tended with new features to meet the rapidly changing dems of our industry. This is accomplished without introducing any incompatibility or compromise in function with existing BACnet networks products. Eliminate obsolescence save money. Y O U BACnet eliminates the need for gateways. These are expensive to purchase to maintain, often create communication bottle necks service-related issues that compromise your performance. Installing native BACnet devices from the field-bus level through to the workstation eliminates the need for gateways saves you money. MONEY BACnet allows you to break free from the chains of sole sourcing. When you need replacement controllers customer support, you have the freedom to choose products services from hundreds of competing BACnet manufacturers around the world. Competition is good will save you money.

4 I n t e g r a t i o n E a s y a s The Controls RC-Studio 2.0 BACnet Operator Workstation software makes integrating BACnet objects from any device a snap. Simply open the BACnet System Tree browser view all the native BACnet devices in the system. Then click on the BACnet device to open its complete object list. Then drag drop the BACnet objects from the object list to the destination graphic or code. It s fast easy as 1, 2, 3. Open the BACnet System Tree browser. 1 Drag drop the object to the graphic user interface (GUI). Browse for the desired BACnet object. 3 2

6 The BACnet Manufacturers Association (BMA) is a non-profit organization whose members include companies involved in the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, maintenance of control equipment using BACnet. Formed in early 2000, the BMA promotes the interoperability of equipment manufactured by its members through workshops testing procedures. The BACnet Testing Laboratory (BTL) is the testing arm of the BMA responsible for ensuring interoperability. Products passing the BTL test procedures may display the BTL mark. Controls has been a member of the BMA since December 2000 regularly participates in the plugfests promoted by other member organizations. Controls products are listed on the BMA Product Catalog found at BMAProductCatalog.html.
