Andover Controls Introduces INFINET II
FLASH-based Terminal Controllers Provide Increased Reliability for HVAC Control

Andover, Mass. - Andover Controls Corporation, a leading manufacturer of "Intelligent Building Systems" for HVAC, security management, and digital video surveillance applications, announces Infinet II, a new line of stand-alone controllers for HVAC applications. The company recently rolled out the first three Infinet II (i2) product models - the i2865 and i2866 controllers, both with built-in actuators for VAV applications, and the i2867 model for fan coil or terminal unit control applications.

The i2 family offers end-users increased reliability for even the most challenging control applications with features such as FLASH memory, an enhanced processor, additional program memory, and easy hardware installation.

Based upon a drag & drop concept, microCommander reduces the time involved in programming microcontrollers from man-months to man-minutes while eliminating programming errors. It enables engineers to quickly configure microcontrollers using standard proven and easily understood components such as switches, indicator lights, gauges, strip chart recorders, PID controllers and more.

A key feature of microCommander is its ability to remotely access microcontrollers over the Internet. This provides the capability of remotely re-programming a microcontroller, of controlling it and gathering information from the remote microcontroller. Intec Automation Inc. has been providing microcontrollers and software development tools to support its microcontrollers since 1993. Intec’s microcontrollers are sold mainly in USA and Canada, with a number of clients’ worldwide.

The RCM3000 RabbitCore is Rabbit Semiconductor's most powerful and feature-packed microprocessor core module. Powered by the new Rabbit 3000™—the "EMI-Free microprocessor"—the RCM3000 is the ideal option for designers who want to rapidly develop and implement embedded systems with fully integrated Ethernet connectivity.

Gigahertz-Optik's P-9710-2 Optometer features a pulse energy mode and compact size enabling on-site measurement of flashing or modulated light sources. The P-9710-2 is capable of measuring the pulse energy of single and multiple pulsed events >1 microsecond in length. Auto-ranging allows the user to zoom-in on the correct gain level with the last setting stored for future use. Other key features include adjustable sampling time and continuous offset of the pre-trigger light level as well as computation of luminous effective intensity based on the Schmidt-Clausen method. All essential detector data is stored in the detector's data coupler so that any number of sensors with associated components like optical filters, integrating spheres and other input devices can be interchanged on the optometer for error free system set-up.

Redmond, Washington USA Alertonā Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of its new high-performance network connection tool (FST-100). The FST-100 is designed to significantly reduce project labor costs and its communications design and messaging structure are BACnet compliant.
