Cost - $1500 tuition includes lunch Objective: Operator Level One is a three-day class primarily intended for end-users of the Automated Logic WebCTRL system. Covered topics include: Overviews of the WebCTRL suite of software and ALC hardware products and the operation of a WebCTRL system. After successfully completing the course, attendees will be able to operate a WebCTRL system and to customize the system to their requirements, performing operations such as: configuring operators, entering schedules, creating and viewing trend graphs, monitoring alarms and configuring their associated reporting actions, creating system reports, using time-lapse feature and basic control module trouble-shooting. Attendees will also be able to explain the benefits of using the built-in control strategies and cost saving features of their WebCTRL system such as Optimal Start, Setpoint Optimization and Demand Control.

Commissioning a building automation system (BAS) is not necessarily a simple project, but it's made easier with an attached laptop doing the work. For nearly three decades, Automated Logic Corporation (ALC), Kennesaw, GA. Has redefined the term 'innovative' in building control, notably their WebCTRL system which uses a browser-based operator interface. Although not employed during day-to-day operations, field personnel from the company's dealers utilize laptop computers to connect to the network for the startup, commissioning and troubleshooting of the BAS. A PC Card adapter, compatible with ALC's ARCNET-based ARC156 control network, would be the perfect solution for attaching to a laptop computer, but ALC had no such product. Realizing Contemporary Controls, Downers Grove, IL. Was a leader in ARCNET technology in the market, Automated Logic turned their direction toward them.

As early as the 1980s, Contemporary Controls proved its expertise with the introduction of the MOD Hub series of ARCNET active hubs and ARCNET network interface modules (NIMs). It helped to establish the ARCNET Trade Association and published the ARCNET Factory Lan Primer to advance its application within the factory environment. As time past, the company began to earn a reputation for all its product lines, beneficial in both design and system troubleshooting and good service. Within their ARCNET product line, Contemporary Controls had the missing PC Card adapter, the PCM20H, ALC was looking for. However, this product did not support the lower speed data rate of the ARC156 network. Thus, Contemporary Controls agreed to take on the project to develop one to meet their requirements. Close communication between the two companies was essential for Contemporary Controls to design a medium access unit (MAU) to match the physical layer characteristics of the ARC156 in order to communicate to the control network.

Anytone at 588 220 mhz. The result was the PCM20H-156 that is the company's standard adapter with a separate compatible MAU for the ARC156 network. 'It was a good move on the part of ALC,' says Steve Tom, Director of Technical Information for Automated Logic. 'We were able to meet our objectives through teamwork ¾ with everyone pulling together.' Real football for nokia 216 2016.

The Story For those unfamiliar with the building automation industry, most companies just like Automated Logic, will employ an existing Ethernet backbone as the building-to-building communication network when installing a typical system. While this technology may be available in large buildings to link one floor to the next, it is seldom on hand throughout locations like mechanical rooms where HVAC controls need to be located. That type of area requires the controls contractor to install a dedicated control network. Knowing ARCNET is well-established in the industry, ALC chose ARCNET at 156 kbps for is primary control network because it's fast, reliable and economical. Let me explain why. The most common data transmitted by building automation systems mainly consists of numeric and alphanumeric characters representing building conditions, historical trends, alarm conditions, etc.

Although high-resolution graphics are frequently used as part of the operator interface, they are limited to the front-end computer and are not communicated throughout the building. 'Thus, 156 kbps is more than fast enough for the control network,' says Tom. 'It's much faster than rival control networks such as MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token Passing) which typically run at 76.8, 38.4 or even 9.6 kbps. In addition to the faster data rate, ARC156 uses a communications coprocessor which relieves the main processor from the burden of having to monitor communications while executing control functions. On a heavily burdened network, the actual communications throughput of the ARC156 controllers is nearly 10 times that of the previous generation 38.4 kbps controllers.' ARC156 is reliable.
