Scott Muench - Technical Sales Manager “Driving Internet Connectivity to the Building Device Level” October 2006 Scott Muench - Technical Sales Manager

Industry Trends IP networking has become less inexpensive, more pervasive and easier to implement IP performance continues to rise, faster speeds and greater bandwidth IP Device and System Proliferation: Office Equipment Phones Kitchen Equipment Irrigation Lighting Control Systems Chillers Plumbing and Restroom Isn’t an AHU, Boiler, Pump worthy of the same high level network access?

Impact of Trends BAS architectures are flattening Previously only the Work Station or Network Manager had access to the building or corporate LAN System and Equipment controllers can now sit directly on the IP backbone Using Niagara Fox, BACnet IP, Modbus TCP, OPC, oBIX, and many others Unitary controllers will sit on IP next – some are already there Wireless networking is prolific as an alternative to the hard wired networks

Current Physical Architecture Web Browser Application Server Multiple Busses Multiple Protocols Local Area Network Niagara IP LON over IP BACNet IP Modbus TCP Many Others Multi Protocol Area Controller Area Controller Router Gateway Access Point LON FTT-10 Devices ModbusSerial Devices Wireless Devices MSTP Devices Many Bus Types MODBUS®

New Physical Architecture Web Browser Application Server Common Physical Backbone Many IP Protocols Local Area Network Niagara IP oBIX BACNet IP OPC Modbus TCP Many Others Equipment Controller Access Points / Gateways Multi Protocol Area Controller Area Controller Equipment Controller Power Meter Lighting Controller

Why IP Based Controllers? Speed and Throughput 100 megabit is common, Gigabit speeds are a reality Cost LANs are a given in almost any building – now the “4th Utility” Standardized connections to all smart devices lowers the cost of installation, operations, and maintenance Fewer layers, fewer implementation steps, fewer tools Upgrade and revisions via the Web, WAN, LAN Technology access – devices are now part of the Enterprise Equipment controllers can utilize Web based technology Integral user interface and programming tools Email alarms, text messages Archive trends to remote databases Web Services drivers, new standards - oBIX

Equipment with IP Connections The Market has promoted these devices from field bus level to the network level: VFDs Lighting Controllers Chillers Pumping Packages Roof Top Units Irrigation Switchgear Breaker Panels Meters Security and Card Access

Issues Currently IT only knows business applications not facility or building applications The IT department must be part of the solution at the design stage so they are not part of the problem at the commissioning stage CIOs are starting to see the need to treat the building as a group of intelligent devices that all need a connection to the enterprise. CFO requesting more real time data and access to building information that impacts finances and costs

The IP Controller

Benefits of IP Based Controllers Eliminates layers of complexity, more cost effective Easier installation and faster deployment Area controller capabilities now at the equipment level Connectivity and building intelligence direct to the enterprise Remote access by all members of design, installation and operations team Integral programming tool from top to bottom for control logic, field bus network management, graphics design Advanced features: Equipment controllers can talk multiple IP protocols Integral Web server for real time data and 2–way control Engineering tool built-in to standalone controller Web Browser is the only software needed!
