Invensys Building Systems
I/A Series MicroNet Controller - VAV
80:00:16:50:0A:04:04:0A

(Editors note: the following description is for the four Invensys products listed above).
The IA Series WorkPlace Tech Tool 5.x (WP Tech) is a cohesive, flexible system-engineering tool compatible with MicrosoftŽ WindowsŽ 2000 Professional or WindowsŽ XP Professional. It uses a Microsoft VisioŽ 32-bit drawing interface for graphic representation of control applications and control objects. WP Tech is designed for use with all I/A Series MicroNet controllers. Using WP Tech, a user customizes an application to fit specific job requirements, compiles the application, and downloads the application to a standalone or networked controller. WP Tech allows a user to program IA Series MicroNet controllers using its extensive library of specialized, individual control objects. WP Tech features easily understood drag-and-drop graphic representations of common control algorithms and functions, and easy-to-use wizards that automate controller configurations.

I/A Series MicroNet Controller - Rooftop
80:00:16:50:1E:04:04:03
80:00:16:50:1E:04:04:12

(Editors note: the following description is for the two Invensys products listed above).
The I/A Series MicroNet 100, 150, and 200 Controllers are interoperable controllers designed in accordance with LonMarkŽ guidelines. When programmed using WorkPlace Tech Tool, or loaded with a pre-engineered application, these controllers provide control for packaged rooftops, heat pumps, fan coils, unit ventilators, and similar applications. Controllers feature Sensor Link (S-Link) support, LED indication, screw terminal blocks, as well as DIN rail or panel mounting ability. These controllers can function in either standalone mode or as part of a LonWorksŽ TP/FT-10 Free Topology communications network. The 100, 150, and 200 series controllers use the same physical packaging, but differ in the onboard I/O points they provide.

(Editors note: the following description is for the two PureChoice products listed above).
[an error occurred while processing this directive] PureChoice has established a new benchmark for indoor air quality monitoring technology. The NoseŽ Monitor combines multiple sensors into a compact, single-printed circuit board mounted in a thermoplastic housing. The Nose, which is LonMarkŽ certified, measures the key IAQ parameters - temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and organic odors and gases (VOCs) and is available with all five sensors or three (temp, rh and CO2). In developing The Nose, PureChoice selected the highest quality sensors available with respect to price. Sensors used are manufactured in several different countries, resulting in demanding circuit design since each sensor requires unique power, signal and communications protocol. Microprocessors control the operation of all sensors, including thermal regulation, initial setup and calibration, conversion to engineering units, digital messaging and data transfer. All calibration and trimming are conducted by digital communication with remove workstations, so the calibration environment is undisturbed. All other circuitry, microprocessor, memory and power conversion circuits are also assembled on the same board.

Trane
Tracer LCI-C for CH530 RTA
80:00:2A:50:28:03:04:06
The LCI-C, available factory installed of field retrofitted, is an integrated communication board that enables the chiller controller to communicate over a LonTalkŽ network. While monitoring alarms and status, the LCI-C is capable of controlling chiller setpoints and operating modes. The Trane LCI-C adds, to the standard chiller profile, an additional set of points to satisfy a broader range of system interoperable applications. These added points, or open extensions, build on the standard LonMarkŽ chiller profile.
