Zip is a modular data aquisition and control system that combines "plug-and-go" engineering with data transfer across Compass and IT networks via Commander. Zip is ideal for distributed monitoring and switching applications where network communications are essential.

Typical uses include monitoring and generating alarms for temperature, humidity and doors in IT server racks, or monitoring the the status of uninterruptable power supplies and stand-by generators. Zip can also be used for collecting data for environmental logging, such as temperature values in refridgeration units and cold stores.

Flexibility to the fore

Zip is designed for flexible, cost effective data acquisition. Zip modules can be fitted with fixed function control software. For example our Boiler controller is fixed function, yet retains the standard ZiP networking features enabling it to work side by side with freely programmable modules.

There are a wide range of Zip modules with various combinations of inputs and outputs, designed to meet all of your requirements. To work out which cards you need we even have a simple pricing tool, which allows you to enter your points schedule on a panel by panel basis and will output a spreadsheet file detailing which modules you will need for each location.

• Reliable - Zip network - proven RS485 system bus
• Intelligent - All Zip Modules are programmable
• Smart - All Zip Modules auto-initialise on power up
• Responsive - 400 messages per second, every second
• Compatible - All Zip devices are 12Vdc powered
• Practical - Engineered using ObSys software
