 Let
TAC be your translator!
Chances are your building is "multi-lingual"
— your chiller talks BACnet, your lighting controllers communicate via
LONTalk, your power monitor speaks Modbus, and that older fire alarm system has it own unique protocol.
There is no one answer today when it comes to these industry-standard "open protocols". TAC supports
them all — providing interoperability between all types of devices and a strong, common platform to manage your facility
proactively.
Open Protocols:
|
|
BACnet
|
TAC's offer a full range of native BACnet controllers and workstation software that interoperate directly with
other BACnet devices in your building. No gateways or other special protocol converters needed!

LONTalk
|
|
TAC's Continuum® NetController offers an FTT-10A Free Topology interface, enabling communications up to
4,096 LONWORKS objects, or SNVTs (Standard Network Variable Types).
|
|
Modbus
|
|
Continuum® supports a direct Modbus RTU interface, allowing integration to various power meters, variable speed
drives, PLCs, etc.
|
|
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
|
SNMP is the protocol most widely used by Network Managers and IT organizations to monitor network
performance and availability. Continuum controllers can send alarms directly to Network Operations
Centers via SNMP, and also permit polling and auto-discovery.

HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)
|
The protocol of the web, defining communications on the Internet. Our products support multiple web languages such as:
- HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language): Used to define the presentation of web content within a browser. Embedded directly in our Network Controllers, as well as our enterprise-level web access solution,
web.Client.
- XML (Extensible Markup Language): Used to communicate data between multiple, disparate systems on the web. An emerging method (part of web services) for high-level building systems communication. XML documents can be served up directly from any
TAC Network
Controller.
- WML (Wireless Markup Language): Used to communicate building information to mobile devices such as cell phones and wireless PDAs. Our Network Controllers' embedded web server also supports this language, for efficient alarm annunciation of critical building conditions, as well as up-to-date building status.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
|
|
Internet protocol used to send and receive email messages. Our
CyberStation alarm delivery system allows email notification of any system alarm, delivered to a definable group of recipients.
