Solutions
Solutions to every problem
Nearly every building is unique. Inevitably, management and control requirements differ from one facility to another, too. But the modular nature of the North product range means that you can mix and match integration products to your specific building automation and management needs. Whether you need an integrated, intelligent network for building controls, field-based data-acquisition or web-enabled services, North has the answer.
Compass is an integration network with the power to transfer data between building-control systems even if the systems are inherently incompatible. Compass supports both industry standard and proprietary, manufacturer-specific protocols, and allows extensions to legacy building-control systems with new technology, reducing the need for expensive replacement.
Commander is an embedded, multi-purpose integration and control platform for IP situations. With time-clock functions, extensive alarm handling (including transmitting alarms via e-mail) and a HTML web server, Commander connects building-control systems to IP using Ethernet.
ObSys provides a powerful user display and processing environment for integration, graphics, alarm handling, data logging, time control, and much more. With support for IP infrastructure and in-built HTML web services, ObSys caters for applications with true client/server applications. Commander even has the programmable ObvEngine integration controller built in, making it the ideal platform for a complete building control solution.
Zip gives cost-effective, distributed, data-acquisition. It supports standard analog and digital inputs and outputs, as well as more advanced devices such as door card/token readers and monitored (tamper-detect) digital inputs foir secure applications.
In this section, you will find a number of applications examples covering a small number of the possible uses for North products.

Case Study
Motorola Offices, Basing- stoke.
At Motorola's UK corporate head- quarters, a small Compass network is passing information
from the power monitoring and fire systems to the HVAC system. This enables the HVAC
system to log data from the power monitor and to take action in the case of a fire alarm.
