The simplicity of connecting a data-acquisition system to the Ethernet within the building, and providing users with a standard HTML interface, removes the need for yet another control network.
When this is coupled with the need for the system to inform users of exception conditions using standard emails, the needs for end-user training courses disappears.
Connecting relays, temperature sensors, occupancy detectors, to the internet is now possible.
Other opportunities arise when the user can affect outputs on the system, giving him/her remote control facilities.
North's Commander product range supports upto 128 I/O: any mixture of analogue or digital, input or output, 0-10V, 0-20mA, thermistor, relay, as well as swipe-cards, alarm latching, time-control, etc.
