September 5, 2008—To expand the capabilities of its independent controls contractor channel, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. is introducing a new version of Talon building automation based on the versatile, open BACnet protocol.
With BACnet, TALON controls offer advanced integration capabilities and a comprehensive set of tools to ease the design, installation and commissioning that todays building controls contractors need to tackle the most sophisticated projects profitably, says the company.
Key to Talons versatility is the broad array of integration drivers that enable precise HVAC system management as well as tightly integrated control of security, fire and lighting systems and building operator-friendly management capabilities. These features are designed to optimize building owners investments and allow greater owner control and management of their systems.
For years, Talon dealers have offered the LonTalk protocol. Now with BACnet, contractors and integrators have even more flexibility to more effectively meet building owner and consulting engineer requirements, says the company.
