Flexible method of interfacing with 3rd party systems

• BACnet over IP
• Enhanced Custom Language (TCL)
• Standard IQ configuration modules
• Serial auxiliary board option (RS232 or RS485(2/4 wire))
• All standard IQ3 features

I Q3/XNC enables interfacing between the IQ system and 3rd party systems. The functionality can be divided into three sections: System, Firmware, and Hardware. Special additional firmware can be provided by a TCL application; These are created by Trend Interface Specialists (TIS) such as GBC who can provide both bespoke applications and generic applications for commonly used equipment. GBC may provide the application in soft format, or pre-loaded into the IQ3. The application can be tied to one controller or available for general download.

GBC  are delighted to announce that we have now become a Trend Integration Specialist (TIS) Partner.

Information about the TIS's can be found on the Trend Partnernet website.

For more details on how GBC can seamlessly integrate Trend with 3rd party products and systems, contact our development team on the e-mail below:

Spinwave has developed its products to address the unique characteristics of wireless sensor networking. The end result is a wireless product line that is extremely scalable, robust, and easy to deploy and maintain in real world environments. GBC has successfully integrated these sensors into a Trend IQ3 system using RS485 MODbus RTU.
 

HVG Custom Energy Displays Teekay Controls Limited had to supply a "Bespoke " display panel for their Castle Drogo project in Devon, which was required to show the information as shown on a similar Display to the one pictured. GBC has successfully integrated values from a Trend system into the display using RS232 Serial communications & an IQ3/XNC.
 

Using RealTime Control Systems Products, GBC specialises in the development of BMS hardware and software solutions for integrating BMS control systems. GBC has a wide range of experience in the design and use of BMS controls as well as knowledge of a wide range of HVAC systems. In conjunction with RealTime, GBC are particularly focussed on LonWorks systems and has experience in both developing LonWorks based products as well as designing, installing and engineering LonWorks control systems.

The IQ3/XNC/BAC Controller provides a flexible way of interfacing the IQ system with 3rd party systems. It utilises both standard IQ configuration modules, and the Trend Custom Language (TCL) to present information from other systems as though it were from an IQ controller. It also allows parameters within the 3rd party system to be adjusted from IQ system Supervisor and Tool software. The optional serial auxiliary board (/SER/) provides an additional RS232 or RS485 (2/4 wire) (or also RS422) port for communicating with other devices.
