Open Protocols / Enterprise Integration
Choosing the automation system to control your building is a major investment. It’s a large capital purchase that you’ll live with for many years. What should you be looking for in order to get the most out of that investment?
Open protocols are the solution. BACnet gives you more choices than any other protocols. Multiple systems from different vendors can interoperate from top to bottom, from smart networked devices like BACstat™ thermostats and BACnet based VFDs, to central plant controls and Operator Workstation Software. Delta’s system is BACnet from top to bottom and has been listed by the 3rd party BACnet Testing Laboratories as being the most capable BACnet system available.
Complimenting the openness of the BACnet system, Delta has developed the Delta ODBC Driver, which allows you to integrate your building systems with your business-level products. Integrate with your accounting or maintenance packages, run reports using off the shelf reporting packages, collect electrical demand costs from utilities and send commands back to the Delta network to load shed.
Open protocols put you in the driver’s seat, saving you money and allowing you to make the most of your investment.
