      Alerton has led the way in developing products based on a standard open communication protocol to give building owners flexibility in their building solutions. Alerton is the first to:

      • Pioneer Direct Digital Controls Technology
      • Offer Windows based operator's workstations
      • Offer an intelligent zone sensor-the Microset
      • Offer a top-to bottom native BACnet system

      BACnet Four Level Architecture

      For complete monitoring and control functionality, BACtalk offers a four-tiered network architecture.

      Management Level

      From virtually anywhere in the world, you can monitor and control your buildings with our easy-to-use graphical software. Use three-dimensional animation and full-color graphics to access real-time data and energy management features. As-built drawings, floor plans and specific graphics of HVAC equipment can be customized for each site. The flexibility of BACnet allows connection to local area networks and the Internet.

      Integration Level

      Intelligent BACnet programmable controllers perform global control strategies on a peer-to-peer basis for an entire facility or multiple sites. These devices integrate seamlessly with third-party building systems such as fire alarm, access management and lighting.

      Field Controller Level

      Alerton offers an entire family of intelligent, native BACnet logic controllers. Each controller is programmable to support a range of applications, from complex air handling units to terminal unit devices such as VAV boxes, heat pumps and air conditioning units. All of our BACnet controllers use Alerton's intuitive, graphical DDC programming language, VisualLogic.

      Sensor/Actuator Level

      Unique sensors like Alerton's Microset (pictured below) can serve as both tenant control centers and field service tools. The system also supports traditional sensors and actuators used in building automation.

      VisualLogic

      As a portion of the ATS Building Automation Solution, ATS engineers create custom control sequences using the easy to follow visual block diagram VisualLogic.

      Envision for BACtalk

      Using Envision for BACtalk is very simple and intuitive. Our graphics program simulates equipment status, building temperatures, and other monitored systems throughout the building. This visual, real-time graphic makes training and building maintenance simple and clean.

      Phoenix Controls is a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of precision airflow control systems, most notably variable air volume (VAV) controls for laboratory ventilation. Phoenix systems ensure the environmental integrity of critical spaces, including research laboratories, vivariums, pharmaceutical process areas, and bio containment facilities by controlling pressurization, temperature, and humidity. Phoenix Controls also provides a cost effective healthcare solution for pressure control within critical spaces and patient rooms.



      Aircuity

      Aircuity is the leading manufacturer of integrated sensing and control solutions that cost-effectively reduce building energy and operating expenses while simultaneously improving its indoor environmental quality. In February of 2005 Aircuity released the OptiNetTM System. The Optinet patented system provides a centralized sensor platform capable of analyzing a broad array of environmental conditions throughout a commercial building by means of a distributed, multi-point air-sampling network. These continuously sensed environmental parameters are then integrated in to a facility’s building management system to optimize the building’s ventilation systems for energy efficiency and environmental quality.

      OptiNet’s game-changing technology of remote sampling with centralized sensing addresses acknowledged deficiencies inherent in conventional approaches to optimizing building ventilation. The result is sensing-based ventilation control that finally delivers on the long-sought promise of buildings designed for both energy efficiency and environmental quality in response to dynamic building conditions at a time when this matters more than ever..
