SelectPro Software Accurately sizes and selects your control valves in
minutes.
SelectPro provides a fast, user-friendly and flexible means for
accurately sizing and selecting control valves for hydronic and steam
applications in HVAC systems. Software capabilities include: Calculating
control valve cost for any size project; Generating valve/actuator
submittal data for project; Printing project data, valve data and
pricing; Exporting project data and selected products to Excel data
format; Saving projects in .xls or .bel file format for future editing
or ordering; Automatically uploading data through web interface for easy
ordering. When sizing a valve, the SelectPro™ process begins by
entering pertinent data, such as pipe diameter, flow rate, valve
pattern, and other required conditions. Inputs can be changed at any
time, allowing users to quickly edit project details and immediately see
the results. SelectPro is Free of Charge!

Contemporary
Controls Announces Sedona Framework Support added to the BAS Remote
We call the BAS Remote a versatile building automation appliance since it can function as a BACnet/IP compliant device with universal I/O points; a Modbus serial to Modbus TCP router, and it can serve up web pages. However, the versatility of the BAS Remote has just improved since it now supports Tridium’s Sedona Framework. With the addition of a Sedona virtual machine (SVM) in the BAS Remote, the BAS Remote can now execute standalone control schemes while benefiting from the ease of drag-and-drop programming. The BAS Remote retains its web server configuration capability and its ability to communicate over a BACnet/IP network while functioning as a true application specific controller (ASC).

Energy
Controls Co. Introduces The PESC-F100
The PESC-F100 utilizes the same established energy savings attributes of existing DDC Energy Management Systems. The difference is that the PESC-F100 costs 1/4 of the price. The PESC-F100 is an alternative to costly DDC retrofits of pneumatic systems which can cost $2000 or more per thermostatic zone. Existing pneumatic control systems control great, but they are like the straw man in the Wizard of Oz....they have no brains! The PESC-F100 provides the existing pneumatic system with a simple on-off-auto switching valve and the brains to provide all the energy-saving attributes of the proven DDC control systems that are popular today.

Efficient Building Automation Corp Introduces Circon's AX Wizards Software Programs
AX Wizards are software programs that allow
integrators to configure and program Circon controllers from within Tridium's
NiagaraAX WorkBench. AX Wizards ensure error-free configuration of a
controller's I/O points and application configuration properties, using a
familiar point-and-click interface. AX Wizards include device support
files that improve the usability of Circon controllers when implementing
graphics, logging and scheduling with the NiagaraAX WorkBench environment.

MetricWise
by RLE Technologies
MetricWise by RLE Technologies is a cost effective, easily deployed, Web based appliance that collects metered information to calculate Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE). In the past, obtaining these two metrics was a complicated process that required deploying expensive, intricate systems. With MetricWise, gathering these important benchmarks is simple—attach up to 10 meters at key power locations in the datacenter and MetricWise does the rest. The Web interface is simple, but powerful. The system dashboard displays dynamic gauges, charts, and graphs to help baseline, measure, and improve outcomes of various greening efforts, such as conserving energy. MetricWise can store up to two years of historical data, which can be viewed and exported to provide trends of PUE and DCiE over time. MetricWise supports SNMP, BACnet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/IP so readings can be easily integrated with other management systems.

Saelig
Introduces New Series of Fully Integrated Capacitive Temperature and Humidity
Sensing Products
Saelig Company, Inc. (Saelig) has announced the recent addition of a new line of fully integrated capacitive temperature and humidity sensors and sensing modules for ambient environmental measurements. The sensors offer 0.25-second rise times and consistent, reliable operation that is completely unaffected by condensation or water immersion. They are ideal for use in a myriad of applications, such as air conditioning (HVAC), meteorology/weather measurement, home appliance, aeronautics, museum or gallery archival conservation and military and qualification laboratories, among others. Sensors incorporate patented, four-layer technology, exclusive to the manufacturer, which allows the products to offer consistent, exceptional thermal stability under environmental conditions of 0 to 100% relative humidity, in temperatures ranging from -90 to +85°C. Their miniature (9 x 8 mm) passive sensing elements vary capacitance with humidity and resistance with temperature, and are all fully interchangeable, without need for recalibration.

BACnet Newsletter
What's New
Over the past few months we have released several new versions of our software
applications and an entirely new BACnet Device Simulator. If it has been a while
since you downloaded any versions of our software, you may want to check our
website for the latest versions.
BACnet Device Simulator
The all new BACnet Device simulator can simulate 1 or more BACnet device. It has
an advanced object property editor to allow any property, such as the weekly
schedule, to be configured. Project configurations can be saved and reloaded or
exported to a text file for editing. We have a beta version of the simulator
available which includes all of the new objects in the BACnet 2008
specification. For anyone wishing to test their products with the new objects
like eventLog and TrendlogMultiple, please send an email to
support@scadaengine.com
BACnet Server API
The latest version of the BACnet Server API is release 2.0.22. If you don't
already have this version then we suggest you download and install it. There
some bug fixes, as well as better support for Importing/Exporting EDE files,
support for 64 bit operating systems and new sample applications. The next
release of the API due in October will have all of the addendums in the BACnet
2008 which include objects for EventLog, TrendlogMultiple and others.
BACnet OPC Server
This product has been redesigned from the ground up with input from Johnson
Controls to suit large Building Automation projects in North America. The
resultant server for BACnet is a powerful application featuring Data Access
(DA), Alarms and Events (AE) and Historical Data Access (HDA). There is no need
to purchase 3 separate OPC Servers for DA, AE and HDA when the SCADA Engine
BACnet OPC Server combines all of them into one. This BACnet OPC Server has all
of the features required for complete control over a BACnet system.
