Click here for more information on KMC Controls KMC's BAC-5050 Router Now with Address & Port Forwarding  The venerable BAC-5050 "FullBAC" Router from KMC Controls, long known for its connectivity and robustness, has now been augmented to support address and port forwarding for foreign device registration. This feature, formerly Addendum O to the BACnet standard, enhances the capability of the BAC-5050 when connecting BACnet networks together across the Internet. KMC's Router Configuration Tool Version 2.1.0.14 or later is required to set up the address and port forwarding feature. KMC's Firmware Upgrade Tool and Flash Kit module can be used to add the new firmware to an existing router. While routers are not BTL-Listed BACnet devices, they become useful when networks using different BACnet transport options (such as IP and MS/TP) need to exchange data.

Product Enhancement: BACnet-N2 Router Release Update
Major S4 Open Product Line Update Nears Release

------------------------------------------------- Click here for more information on Trend Control Systems Introducing Trend's IQView8Trend Control Systems USA today debuted the IQView8, an eight-inch, customizable, color, touch screen display that provides an interface into the Trend system. The sleek, modern, design of the IQView8 allows it to be placed nearly anywhere within a building. The IQView8 can be configured to display as much or as little detail of the building's energy management system as desired, and can even be used as a dashboard to allow visitors to a building to receive an inside-view of how a building is performing.
The IQView8 is more than just a simple display. The IQView8 can be used as a window into a larger system supervised by a central front end, like Trend's 963 Supervisor, or can be used as a small building control system. It allows for complete system access viewed via schematics on a touch-screen. The depth of detail projected on the display can be as complex or simplified as you want.
"The IQView8 display has a variety of features that lead to savings for a building owner including the ability to utilize graphics previously created in the 963 Supervisor, thus reducing engineering and programming labor," says Gene Jarvi, Product Manager with Trend Control System. "Also the ability to receive alarms, make system schedule changes and adjust set points all from a the display level reduced the amount of time a facility manager uses to make minor adjustments for building occupants."
The ability to track energy savings within a building can be displayed with an IQView8. This display can serve as a low-end dashboard that will report energy data to building occupants. Tenants will receive a constant reminder about waste and energy consumption, and visitors to a building can view companies' commitment to energy conservation.
All Trend products are available through authorized Trend Technology Centers (TTCs). For product order and technical information, contact your local TTC, call Trend at 425.897.3900 or visit www.trend-americas.com.
