Interoperability and adaptabilityat every levelBACnet protocol performs across multiple systems,providing the necessary foundation for future expansion.The BACnet SolutionTALON offers the functionality of a nativeBACnet Web-based system protocol. WithBACnet incorporated into every level —from the workstation or controllerembedded Web server down to the fieldlevel network devices — facility operatorsare empowered with a system that bringstogether standard protocol interoperabilitywith time-saving features and functions.Boost productivity and enhance efficiencywith remote paging, reporting andarchiving, and Web-based functionality.BACnet is the Heating, Ventilation andAir Conditioning (HVAC) industry standardprotocol, according to its foundingorganizations, American Society ofHeating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),International Standards Organization (ISO),and American National Standards Institute(ANSI). Its reputation and growing usemake it the best choice for a standardprotocol across a system, or to use as aninteroperability tool to help knit together acohesive, tightly integrated system despitedisparate technologies or vendor systems.BTL (BACnet TestingLaboratories) listedcomponents provideassurance thatcontrollers arecertified asinteroperable andcompliant to the BACnet protocol.Full programmability and flexibility ofapplications provides a complete,adaptable, and scalable Web-basedsolution that focuses your investment onvalue added capabilities.The benefits of open TALON building automation with native BACnet:• Simplified operation of complex building controls andmulti-building sites• System-wide control and operations management througha single, easy-to-use interface• Anywhere system access and Web programmability• Fast interpretation of control data for system optimizationand cost savings• Centralized programming throughout architecture for timeand labor savings• Cost-efficient retrofits and expansions within existinginfrastructures• Address and incorporate future trends, such as zero-energyand carbon neutral buildings• Plug and play controllers• Seamless interoperability of system level controlapplications• Incorporation of industry standard BACnet protocol• Backward/forward compatibility protects investments andeliminates system obsolescence• Flexible, programmable, and field configurable controllersfor terminal boxes11
