Expedite configuration with FX exclusive auto tagging

Take configuration time from weeks or days to hours. Leading the productivity tool suite, FX Exclusive Auto Tagging automatically adds data tags during station import, based on CCT standard applications and is built on Haystack and custom tag libraries.

Next generation equipment controllers maximize performance

Reduce installation costs while boosting system performance with the next generation VAV Box and General Purpose Application Controllers. They deliver high capacity memory, fast processing, easy programming and fast installation.

The highly resilient MRP ring-enabled IP controller solution

This is your highly resilient, easy-to-implement IP controller solution. FX IP Controllers enable faster data access and troubleshooting, while Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Switches connects all IP controllers with the engine and supervisory controller via a ring-topology network. The only Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)-enabled BAS solution in the market, this network protocol for ring topologies enables networks to rapidly overcome failures and support more devices per ring.
