Systems Integration

Control Network Services, Inc. is an authorized resellerof Richards-Zeta in the state of Colorado.
Richards-Zeta manufactures flexible, powerful
and inexpensive controls for building automation.
RZ was one of the first to incorporate integration of
third party systems, Lonworks and BACnet.
Proprietary and legacy systems can be managed
through a single RZ interface. Furthermore, RZ allows end users to view and control RZ, LonWorks, BACnet, Modbus and 3rd party control system information across the Internet.

RZ offers an enterprise-wide, advanced
integration platform, TCP/IP control and monitoring software which connects end users to their building automation system 24 hours a day. Using RZ's perfectHost software, building managers can perform graphical programming of multiple control systems, manufacturers and protocols with one tool and one common graphical user interface.

The most advanced building automation system and systems integration platform is formed when the Mediator is coupled with Richards-Zeta perfectHost for Windows Graphical Application Programming and Monitoring Software. The Mediator MPX fully communicates with the multiple control systems. The Mediator MPX enable two-way communication over a TCP/IP network between control systems and all of the sensors, devices, and other networked systems within a facility. It collects data from multiple sources, including multiple control systems that use disparate protocols and are otherwise unable to intercommunicate. By converting the data into a single, widely used format such as XML, the end user is provided with information in a uniform presentation. It enables users to specify the type and quantity of information they want to receive, and omit anything they consider unessential. The Mediator can run multiple services and protocols simultaneously and still have the capability to respond immediately to events generated in the network environment.

The RZ MoZaic Gateway controller is a gateway that integrates mutiple control systems, third party communication protocols, and LonWorks controls all under one roof. The RZ MoZaic is capable of being attached as a node in any LonWorks® system while siimultaneously interfacing with other building automation system controllers. Graphical Application Programming and User Interface are accomplished using perfectHost Software running on an operator workstation computer (thick Client).

Richards-Zeta perfectHost for Windows operating system is a powerful software tool that provides control system graphical programming and monitoring in one package, offering a graphical approach to entering control programs and sequences of operation into a building automation system. PerfectHost for WIndows creates the programming for controller hardware using a schematic drawing of the sequences of operation on your computer screen using templates, or functional blocks of logic. (An example of programming with perfectHost is below)

The sequence of operation flows through the template from the inputs, through processing logic of the functional blocks, and then to the outputs. The functional blocks, and the connections drawn between them, determine the sequence of operation of a given program. When the drawing is complete, perfectHost converts it into a computer program that is downloaded into the controller hardware. The picture is the program.
