 The customer wanted enhanced visibility of their control systems, to monitor and react to real time conditions. IAS proposed to replace the legacy supervisory controls with Delta ORCAview. The challenge was to keep the Johnson Supervisory Conrollers operational in parallel with Delta Controls ORCAview. Because of the size and complexity of the project, the S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router was the only viable option for integrating to the legacy Metasys system. The migration went smoothly and the
customer is very satisfied.

End-of-Line Terminator
 Reliable Controls® is pleased to announce a new product called the "End Of Line Terminator". Many third-party BACnet® integrations require a connection to Reliable Controls® MS/TP devices, and it has become increasingly evident that many of these third-party devices do not come with built-in end-of-line terminators. As a result, these third-party devices sometimes function as the physical end; but have no means to terminate.
After listening to its Authorized Dealer network, Reliable Controls® has created a solution to this growing problem. The Reliable Controls® End- Of-Line (EOL) Terminator provides the ability to properly terminate EIA-485 twisted pair networks. The EOL has 24VAC input power and is a biased terminator similar to those found on all of Reliable Controls® controllers. The device has a red power LED to indicate the device is powered correctly and comes with convenient mounting screws and removable 5mm rising cage terminal blocks.

S4 Open: BACnet-EnOcean® Gateway Open Systems and Best Practices
The S4 Group's initial products integrated legacy building automation systems and published them to open protocols such as OPC and BACnet. Therefore, we have been following the discussion on automated buildings about Open Systems with great interest. We look at our products as being the enablers of open environments. This experience leads us to the belief that Open should not only refer to the implementation of technology but to the philosophy driving the way that a company conducts its business. That is you not only need to talk the talk but you need to walk the walk to offer a truly open system.

| BACnet Stays on Course for Success
The BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) set new standards at light+building 2012. 17 exhibitors presented their innovations and proven BACnet solutions at the BIG-EU joint booth. 900 guests attended the booth's lecture series on BACnet developments and reference projects.
BIG-EU President Volker Röhl pointed out the continued success of open communication standards in building automation at the press conference: "From the numerous expansions to the standard, one can see that BACnet is always on the cutting edge of technology." The latest expansions include the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), lighting and elevator control.
"BACnet.Live@light+building"
The motto for this year's booth, "Scalable solutions for every need," also framed the lecture program at the BIG-EU joint booth. In 35 presentations from prominent speakers such as BACnet inventor Mike Newman, the audience learned more about the history, development and applications of BACnet, as well as its potential. The focus was on applications in cloud computing, smart grids and public sector construction projects. Users, integrators and manufacturers all reported on their experiences in BACnet projects.
The biggest BACnet booth ever
Mike Newman summarized the success of the BACnet trade fair appearance: "The growth of the BACnet standard is reflected in the size of this booth." At 200 square meters, the biggest-ever BIG-EU joint booth was the meeting place for the building automation industry, opening new perspectives beyond proprietary solutions.
