There are a lot of existing temperature control systems that are not currently being supported or do not operate correctly.  Wouldn’t it be great to update these systems into something operable?  How about converting them from a proprietary system into an open protocol system like BACnet?  With Alerton’s BCM-FPCS  you can do just that with any existing Siemens P1   network.  This controller will convert the P1 data into BACnet objects which can then be read by the Alerton front end.  This simple conversion can bring a building up to date for as little as 1/3 the cost of a direct Siemens replacement.  With this      conversion you automatically gain features such as schedules, trendlogs, alarms, optimum start, demand limiting, and tenant activity to save on energy bills and service.

P1 Protocol Converter

· Convert Existing Siemens P1 to

      Alerton BACtalk.

· Keep existing unitary controllers.

· Go from a proprietary to an open protocol system.

· Acquire web access for remote

      capabilities.

· Gain ability for schedules, alarms, trendlogs and more.

· Start saving energy.

Question:   Multiple BCM-FPCS’s can be installed in one system.  How many P1 devices can each FPCS control?

                   a.) 16          b.) 32          c.) 64          d.) 128
