Wattstopper® Architectural Dimming Platform Offers Robust Capabilities for BACnet® IntegrationSAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legrand, North America today announced BACnet support for its Wattstopper architectural dimming platform, extending BACnet integration capabilities to its award-winning Lighting Control and Automation Panel (LCAP) series. This allows building automation and management systems to control all LCAP dimmer loads, buttons, and occupancy sensors. Now, all projects requiring BACnet/IP can have LCAP panels specified on the job. A growing number of commercial projects now require building management systems (BMS) to be capable of interfacing via BACnet/IP. The Wattstopper solution, the BACnet-enabled InFusion Controller, helps industry professionals meet this requirement in the most cost-effective and simple way. The ability for the BMS system to have greater control and receive feedback from the Wattstopper architectural dimming platform provides opportunities to increase energy efficiency, building optimization, and user convenience. Available in two models to meet any project goal, the economical InFusion Controller Lite is ideal for smaller projects while the InFusion Controller II is applicable for larger applications where networking and expansion are posibilities. These controllers meet demands for delay-free and precise control of small to large complex systems. When the BACNET-IC-IP option is selected for InFusion Controllers, no additional hardware is required and the programming options for individual system personalization through the latest Design Center 3.7 software are included. The software provides robust control options, with BACnet object support, for system components that are accessible for use and control by the BMS system. "Our expanded BACnet capabilities highlight the seamless integration of our lighting controls solutions with a building's BMS, helping facility managers and specifiers operate their buildings as efficiently as possible," said Jon Null, Product Marketing Manager, Architectural Dimming at Legrand. "The added benefit with Wattstopper solutions is that we mitigate the complexity of code compliance and provide a path to higher building performance." About Wattstopper About Legrand Media Contact:
