Energy Dynamics Limited is the Caribbean's representative for ALERTON. ALERTON provides 100% BACnet systems (open protocol) and manufactures energy management control systems for the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry, as well as complete Building Automation systems (Security Access CCTV & Web-based systems).

Management Level From virtually anywhere in the world, you can monitor and control your buildings with its easy-to-use graphical software. Use three dimensional animation and full-colour graphics to access real-time data and energy management features. As-built drawings, floor plans and specific graphics of HVAC equipment can be customized for each site. The flexibility of BACnet allows connection to local area networks and the Internet.

Integration Level Intelligent BACnet programmable controllers perform global control strategies on a peer-to-peer basis for an entire facility or multiple sites. These devices integrate seamlessly with third-party building systems such as fire alarm, access management and lighting. Alerton’s VLX and other high-performance controllers are designed specifically for larger, more complex point applications-central plants, large air handling units and other critical systems. Modular global controllers like the BCM drive Alerton’s flexible approach to systems integration.

These controllers economically support BACnet control networks today and accommodate tomorrow’s growth. Field Controller Level Alerton offers an entire family of intelligent, native BACnet logic controllers. Each controller is programmable to support a range of applications, from complex air handling units to terminal unit devices such as VAV boxes, heat pumps and air conditioning units. All of the BACnet controllers use Alerton’s intuitive, graphical DDC programming language, Visual Logic. Sensor / Actuator Level Unique sensors like Alerton’s Microset can serve as both tenant control centers and field service tools. The system also supports traditional sensors and actuators used in building automation.

I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on the best ways to prevent vendor lock when installing a new BMS system. In case that isn't a term used everywhere it means that it is easy to limit who can work on a BMS due to hardware/software constraints which seriously limit your ability to change contractors after the system has been installed. I believe the Niagra platform allows this as long as the vendor does not lock down the system (using NiCS). Any insight or resources would be very helpful!

Independent BMS Consultant here. (I don't rep or sell any brands) in my experience, if a company or branch of a company is expending effort to lock access to a clients BMS. They should be dropped immediately. It shows they are insecure in the quality of their work and fear the client might bring in someone else. A company that is really good at what they do, doesn't fear competition.

And for those that say they are trying to 'protect' the system from an untrained client: first train the client, second if the client is making changes without calling you, it's because they don't trust you or think your worth the money - you have the power to change that. Edit: agree with definitely include in the contract that you have administrative password to system including passwords to the panels and copies if the programming. For extra points, ask the vendor provide flow charts along with the the sequence of Operations a bit of pain for them to generate, but usually a lot easier to diagnose issues than reading their code for GPL • • • •. I totally get that first part. Request passwords for the panels as well as the main system is a good idea. I always require a sequence of operation before commissioning so that is take care of.

I guess my question is that a lot of products are claimed to be open but they are really not. As an independent do you have any hardwares/softwares that you would recommend that end up with the most flexibility? I'm seeing a lot of Alerton, Delta, Vykon/Niagra. Recommendations for good reading as well would be great! Thanks so much • • • • •. I would stick with Niagara, just keep in mind that even if a vendor says they are open they can still lock you out.

Request to see the license files in JACEs and verify that they are unlocked. Request both Station and platform credentials from the system integrator.

Tridium is great because its purpose is flexibility. You can use bacnet mstp/ip, Lon, modus and others all on the same system. The new version (N4) will not require license upgrades to get driver access to the standard communication protocols. You can find a lot of sales brochures here: • • • • •. I am a controls tech and I come across this fairly often. The company I work for sells Alerton as well as Tridium products (Vykon and JENEsys brands).
