Ogden, Utah February 21, 2014 The S4 Group, Inc. a leader in BAS integration services, announced the latest release 1.18 of the S4 Open BACnet-N2 Gateway product.  Steve Jones, Managing Partner said “I am pleased to introduce this new firmware update to the industry, as it offers several enhancements.”

System operations, monitoring, and maintenance enhancements.

•    BACnet Instance numbers are now statically assigned through device type templates instead of being calculated. Integrator partners still have the ability to edit the instance number to meet their needs but with this enhancement the instance numbers will never change once assigned, significantly lowers labor costs associated with maintenance.

•    The Watchdog timer accuracy and granularity has been enhanced to detect more failure situations and bring the system back to normal operation. False firings of the watchdog have been eliminated.
