American Auto-Matrix was founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. in 1979 as Innovative Technology, Inc. and began as a custom engineering and consulting group manufacturing specialty electronic equipment for its European customer base. In 1982 the company became American Auto-Matrix, Inc. and introduced the AI2100 Building Brain®. It was the first facilities automation system in the world to offer an open communications protocol, generation-to-generation compatibility, distributed intelligence, direct digital control, and object-oriented programming. Through the years, American Auto-Matrix has positioned itself as a worldwide leader in providing Smart Building Solutions®.
AspectFT-Enterprise is a server-based variant that provides all of the powerful features of AspectFT-Facility™, but is installed on specified hardware.

The MatrixBBC is a high-performance, fully programmable, Native BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) designed to provide dependable global and area control functions to a connected BACnet building automation system. As a BTL-listed device, the MatrixBBC is ideal for various applications ranging from traditional area control, large mechanical rooms, and central plant applications, to other applications that require support for bulk I/O.
The MatrixBBO™ Router is an ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135 BACnet® compliant network router which allows seamless packet routing between BACnet/MSTP, and either BACnet/IP or BACnet/Ethernet networks.
Integra is a compact integration platform, specifically designed for commercial applications, that offers seamless integration capabilities for common communications protocols and legacy systems, creating a complete real-time supervisory network. The Integra suite includes a growing library of communication drivers, as well as browser based Graphical User Interface, permitting users to view and control fundamental systems without the need for dedicated workstations and client software.
The SBC Series is designed to run on the American Auto-Matrix’s Public Unitary Protocol (PUP) system allowing for stand alone or peer-to-peer communication.
Be comfortable with vSTAT, a Virtual Zone application designed for use with the American Auto-Matrix AspectFT® system. Through use of this application, users can access multiple servers anywhere in the world and specific zones within a facility. Users can change temperature setpoints, occupancy status, fan status, and more.
American Auto-Matrix’s SBC-STAT sensors are ergonomically designed two wire polarity insensitive “smart” sensors. SBC-STAT’s are designed in multiple variations to insure the flexibility you need to monitor zone temperature, modify set-points, and control parameters.
STATbus is American Auto-Matrix’s innovative sensor networking technology. STATbus is an open-topology network protocol that allows flexible connection of up to thirteen I/O devices per channel using a single non-polar, twisted pair cable. This provides unprecedented flexibility in the installation and wiring of I/O devices to the controller. Substantial saving can be realized in both wiring and installation costs as compared to conventional sensors. Also, STATbus uses digital communications signals, giving it a higher level of noise immunity than conventional, analog sensors.
The SmartOne™ line of Application Specific Controllers combines the power and openness of BACnet and BTL listing with the flexibility of distribution availability. These robust high-speed controllers support all standard BACnet baud rates and come in a variety of flavors including Rooftop, Heatpump, Fancoil, and VAV.
American Auto-Matrix believes innovation requires purpose. It was through the identified need for something more powerful than a typical STAT, but less labor intensive than a full blown front-end, that we created the API (Auto-Matrix Point Interface) line of touch-screen displays. The NB-SD (Native BACnet), SBC-SD (AAM Proprietary Protocol) and BBC-SD (BACnet version available for general distribution) allow you to interface with up to 150 unique points on the network. Each screen can have customized text as well as allow viewing and manipulation of data. In addition, the displays have multiuser password protection, allowing for different levels of access to the system. Areas that where these displays are most commonly found are outside of operating rooms, where temperature and humidity regulation is important, on walls in reception areas where multiple point changes might need to be made (i.e. reception changing the temperature in a conference room or office), and in laboratories where room pressurization monitoring is a must.
The NB-SD is a compact, addressable network display device for MS/TP based BACnet networks. It enables users to quickly monitor their system and easily make changes to the way their building is controlled. The wall mounted NB-SD has a touch-screen operator interface with permission based menu icons, allowing simple navigation to read and write BACnet values, view alarms, grouped data, and point descriptions. The NB-SD is easily configured via Windows®-based software utility.
The SBC-SD is a compact, addressable network display device capable of interfacing with SBC and SOLO-Series products that communicate using the American Auto-Matrix PUP network protocol. Easily adaptable to most standard applications, the SBC-SD provides a configurable data interface environment with an icon driven design and can have up to 50 configurable display screens and reference a maximum of 150 points from one or multiple controllers networked on the same PUP data bus. The product also provides useful maintenance utilities that allow you to access any PUP-based point on the network. Interfacing with the unit is achieved through the use of the 12-bit, 480 x 272 pixel LCD-based touch screen display.
The BBC-SD is a BACnet MS/TP-based touch-screen interface providing local display information for BACnet-based Building Automation Systems. Through utilization of the intuitive graphical interface, building owners and tenants can navigate through the local display to learn more about working variables such as temperatures, set-points, schedule parameters, alarm data and much more. The BBC-SD can integrate with systems of any size as well as interact and display information from any BACnet device regardless of manufacturer or vendor. Never before has there been such an innovative design in an affordable package.
The FHC-SD is NOT a stand-alone product and any features and/or abilities described below only pertain to a display that is connected to one of the followling fume hood controllers: NB-GPC-FHC, SBC-GHC-FHC
The American Auto-Matrix critical environments solution provides for the control of all aspects of the laboratory environment and allows simple interface capabilities for interaction with users. Laboratories can be accessed over the internet through any standard web browser.
In addition, fume hoods and laboratories can communite with most BACnet Building Automation Systems (US Patent No. 5,764,579) using the ANSI/ASHRAE industry standard BACnet® protocol.
