InduSoft Announces InduSoft Web Studio Driver for Cylon Controls Building Energy Management Systems

Indusoft provides HMI/SCADA for one of Europe's largest BEMS supplier

AUSTIN, TEXAS-May 15, 2008 - InduSoft announces the release of a new Cylon Controls driver for their HMI/SCADA software, InduSoft Web Studio. Cylon Controls is one of the largest independent Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) equipment manufacturers in Europe.

This new driver eliminates the need for an OPC Server. As a result, installation and system engineering costs of the Cylon solution will be less costly, easier to configure, and will potentially realize healthy performance gains. The driver also ensures the ability to support Windows CE, which-in some cases-can be a complex task when OPC server implementations are required. InduSoft Web Studio makes it possible to provide an HMI that monitors and integrates not only the building HVAC system, but also the pumping systems, energy, gas and water measurements, lighting control, shutter control, alarm reporting, security and video surveillance, and many other functions as well.

The driver enables seamless integration with numerous devices, such as HVAC Direct Digital Controllers, that Cylon uses in their BEMS solutions. In fact, the new driver has become a key element of Cylon solutions on a number of successful projects.

The first project to benefit from the driver is the Aquapura Hotel-a five-star hotel located in Douro Valley, Portugal. The hotel was outfitted with a Cylon BEMS solution boasting more than 6,000 I/O points. The project was so successful it was named the CylonPortuguese Project of the year 2007, and the award was delivered by the Irish Ambassador to Portugal on April 4, 2008.

José Mota, CEO of Dosapac S.A., the systems integrator in Portugal that installed the system at the Aquapura Hotel, says "The reliability of every project is important to us. Without InduSoft Web Studio, the sheer number of I/O points would have swamped most systems-but InduSoft, coupled with their new driver held up surprisingly well. We couldn't be happier with the result."
