JASIC Open Systems - powered by Tridium NiagaraAX Framework

JASIC Open Systems controllers and software run Tridium's Niagara Framework™, which provides interfaces to open industry standard protocols including BACnet™-IP, BACnet-MS/TP, LON™, Modbus, oBIX™, and others, enabling control solutions combining ASI Controls reliability and performance with Niagara Framework open interoperability. JASIC Open Systems create opportunities for ASI resellers to upgrade and retrofit open control systems, and integrate legacy ASI systems into new BACnet environments.

The ASIC/1 and ASIC/2 lines provide system architecture options ranging from single controller sites with automated dialout capability up to campuses with thousands of networked controllers, and OPC-based integration to other building control and automation systems. Interoperability options include the BACport BACnet/IP interface, BACnet MS/TP supervisory and embedded web server controllers, BACnet MS/TP VAV controllers, Modbus RTU Master functionality to monitor and control a network of Modbus RTU Slave devices, and OPC-DA and Niagara AX drivers for extensive open systems interoperability. ASI WebLink is OPC-client software for custom front end development. Modbus RTU Master is a common standard for controlling slave devices such as VFDs, fans, pumps etc. ASI web front end software also support SSL/HTTPS, the Internet standard for secure browsing.

• Web Browser Monitoring and Control of Nationwide Networks using LAN, WAN or Internet
• Open interfaces supporting BACnet™ IP and MS/TP, Modbus RTU Master, with Niagara AX interoperability
• Standalone Remote Sites with Automated Modem Dialout or Direct Ethernet Connectivity
• Secure, web accessible energy management, climate comfort, and remote monitoring and control solutions

Multiple Ethernet Networking Connectivity Options

The EtherLink/3 enables cost-effective communication with ASI controllers and control systems via an Ethernet TCP/IP local area or wide area network (LAN or WAN). Supported USB serial-to-Ethernet converters enable very low-cost Ethernet connectivity for a single ASIC/2-7540 configurable controller by leveraging the controller's built-in USB port.
