North Building Technologies is a provider of powerful, easy to use integration products and BMS systems hardware and software to link more than 200 building-control systems. This provides simple solutions to integration where networking is a requirement including Echelon, BACnet, EIB, Modbus, and TCP/IP or HTML across Ethernet, VPN or WAN.

In every building, different systems exist – Building Management System, Fire, Sprinklers, Lifts, UPS etc. The modular nature of the North product range means that you can mix and match integration products to your specific building automation and management needs. These can provide an integrated, intelligent network for building controls, field-based data-acquisition or web-enabled services.

The systems available are:
Compass is an integration network with the power to transfer data between building-control systems even if the systems are inherently incompatible. Compass supports both industry standard and proprietary, manufacturer-specific protocols, and allows extensions to legacy building-control systems with new technology, reducing the need for expensive replacement.

Commander is an embedded, multi-purpose integration and control platform for IP situations. With time-clock functions, extensive alarm handling (including transmitting alarms via e-mail) and a HTML web server, Commander connects building-control systems to IP using Ethernet.

Obsys provides a powerful user display and processing environment for integration, graphics, alarm handling, data logging, time control, and much more. With support for IP infrastructure and in-built HTML web services, ObSys caters for applications with true client/server applications. Commander even has the programmable ObvEngine integration controller built in, making it the ideal platform for a complete building control solution.

Zip gives cost-effective, distributed, data-acquisition. It supports standard analog and digital inputs and outputs, as well as more advanced devices such as door card/token readers and monitored (tamper-detect) digital inputs for secure applications.
