Delta Controls Introduces the enteliBUS Manager with Increased Networking and BBMD Capabilities

Any BACnet network being currently installed faces the issue of growing throughput requirements. Increased integration of our BAS and EMS worlds places more stress on information management infrastructure. Owners expect more data from their buildings, starting with the requirements of fault detection and failure tracking to the heavy data requirements of up to the date energy usage statistics. RS-485, a network standard established in 1983 has evolved into EIA-485 and TIA-485. The evolution of a two wire network has failed to keep up entirely with growing BACnet system requirements from building owners and operators. The logging requirements of yesterday's building specs drove the need for an Ethernet backbone to facilitate the majority of data throughput.

Only a few manufacturers are paying attention to the necessity of affordable application level controllers that exist in a flat architecture on an Ethernet network, even fewer manufacturers are paying attention to the growing need of system engines to manage the throughput of all that new data potential.    

Delta Controls has produced the enteliBUS Manager, an addition to the enteliBUS lineup of controllers. We've also taken Ethernet and Power over Ethernet to the application level with our DAC-E and DVC-E lineup of controllers. This has drastically increased potential data aggregation at the system level. With a processer many times faster than our previous controllers we have responded to the growing needs of building network infrastructure. In North America, system level controllers and Ethernet networks are commonly expected to handle the aggregated data of the network coming from finer RS-485 networks distributed out in the field. The needs of larger networks are actually what started the design behind enteliBUS and its flexible lineup of I/O modules. Please click here for more information about the enteliBUS Manager. 

Featuring a full color, integrated LCD display, Distech Controls' ECB and ECL 50 Series controllers provide users with the ability to quickly view, edit, and configure a HVAC system's operating parameters, while color-coded icons and highlights provide at-a-glance indication of alarms and override conditions.
