SOLO-DX-1
|
The ultimate American Auto-Matrix® unitary controller, the DX1 offers complete stand-alone control and monitoring without host supervision and has full peer-to-peer capabilities with other controllers—like the MC1, GC1, or GX1—on the same PUP network. With support for the SAGE Programming Language (SPL), the DX1 is an ideal solution for complex control applications. Typical uses include the control, optimization, and coordination of large built-up air handling units; controlling combinations of heaters, chillers, and pumps; central plant control; and maximum demand and load shed algorithms. Built-in control functions include full PID control; run-time totalization, scheduling and alarming; output supervision, and input pulse counting. User defined SPL programs can greatly expand the base features of the DX1 by providing control blocks that respond to arbitrary PUP channels and attributes.

Statbus
|
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.

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.

SBC-SD
|
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.

Various products require specific sets of commissioning tools to accomplish programming. The tools have been designed to lower installed cost and reduce onsite time through the development of online configuration and flash capabilities. Through the use of the Aspect-FT-Matrix, AAM controllers can be flash upgraded and commissioned over an IP network. Thereby reducing the need to go onsite to accomplish specific changes.
