Trend’s Open Network Node: A Powerful Integration Tool

Redmond, WA (June 27, 2011)—Trend Control Systems (www.trend-americas.com) today launched the Trend Open Network Node (TONN), a networking device that enables the Trend system to interface and integrate with third party systems like BACnet®, LONWORKS®, Mbus®, MODBUS®, SNMP® and KNX®. The TONN utilizes the Niagara AX Framework® to integrate HVAC systems and non-HVAC systems in a building.

The introduction of the TONN into Trend’s product offering opens up new opportunities for interfacing and integrating into a customer’s Building Energy Management System (BEMS). Using the Niagara AX Framework, the TONN can communicate to a variety of building systems including meters, boilers, access systems, and many more to create seamless control and communication throughout a building. By utilizing a TONN, a building or facility manager can now view, monitor and control all aspects of a building using a centralized Trend system thereby saving time and money with a reduction in repetitive and redundant supervisory actions.
