Upgrade a Legacy Building Automation System

Over time building maintenance and building automation budgets often conflict, leading to a mix of older and newer Building Automation System components. As a result, a single enterprise system can have multiple infrastructures that are not consolidated or compatible.

Traditionally, physically separate infrastructures require their own self contained building automation systems, even though they are part of the same enterprise.

 
BACnet Integration

Using S4 Open appliances, facility managers can choose to integrate any OPC or BACnet based Human Machine Interface (HMI) that fits their needs, budget, and preference. This architecture enables you to maintain existing N2 infrastructure, while being able to manage your Building Automation System as your needs dictate. The S4 Open: OPC-N2 Router and the S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router make these options a reality.
