Largest open, interoperable building automation demonstration shown in LonMark booth at AHR Expo. Demonstration featured 36 products from 21 different suppliers representing multiple applications including HVAC, access control, lighting, public safety. LonMark International and its members created an impressive demonstration of open, interoperable products at AHR Expo 2006.
The demonstration contained 36 products from 21 different vendors, linked together with eight different Human Machine Interfaces (HMI's), showing the dynamic nature of open, interoperable solutions.
LonMark open systems support the complete level of interoperability expected by industry professionals.
By specifying LonMark open systems it is possible to select the 'best of breed' products for a given project.
Given the wide variety of network tools and user interfaces available, users are not 'locked in' to a particular vendor's solution.
Unlike other industry alternatives, LonMark certified products are not limited to HVAC.
There is a broad selection of products available to satisfy the real demands of automated buildings, including chillers, drives, VAVs, AHUs, thermostats, access control, automated doors, window blinds, life safety, emergency generators, boilers, electricity meters and more.
Companies participating in the demonstration included Adept Systems, Circon Systems, Continental Control Systems, Control Solutions, Danfoss, Delmatic, Distech Controls, Douglas Lighting, Echelon, FieldServer Technologies, Functional Devices, Honeywell, Invensys Building Systems, Loytec, Matrix Controls, McQuay International, Onicon, PureChoice, Staefa Control, Tour Andover Controls, and Viconics Electronics.
Other companies supporting the Open Systems booth include ARC Informatique, Engenuity, Phoenix Controls and Raypak.
'With nearly 700 products to choose from, building owners and operators now have the freedom to select the best products at the best price,' said Barry Haaser, executive director of LonMark International.
'This simple demonstration provided AHR attendees with a good snapshot of what is possible in buildings today.'
