Notes on System Architecture
The Barber-Colman Network 8000 Enhanced Driver
provides communication between the APOGEE
®
Automation System and the Barber-Colman Network
8000 Building Management System.
Maximum numbe
r of devices that can be accessed with
one driver is
128 through the ASD bus.
LCM block functionality and LCM bus
integration are not supported with the
Barber-Colman 8000 Enhanced Driver.
Functionality
The Barber-Colman Network 8000 Enhanced Driver
can be loaded into PXC Modular hardware. The
driver is a microprocessor-based, multitasking platform
designed for multi-system communication and control.
The Barber-Colman Network 8000 Enhanced Driver
communicates with Insight
®
software, other APOGEE
field panels and controllers, and Barber-Colman Network
8000 System.
Through th
e Insight workstation, the Barber-Colman
points ca
nbemonitoredandcommanded. The
Barber-C
olman points integrated into the APOGEE
Automati
on System can be accessed by system
applicat
ions such as Powers Process Control Language,
scheduli
ng, trending, and alarming.
The Barber-Colman Network 8000 Enhanced Driver will
not affect, in any way, the operating sequence or safeties
as factory programmed into the Barber-Colman Network
8000 System.
Keys to Success
Ensure that all Barber-Colman equipment to be integrated
is supported by the Barber-Colman Network 8000
Enhanced Driver.
Benefits
Systems integ
ration brings the powerful facility control
capabilities
of the APOGEE Automation System together
with the Barbe
r-Colman Network 8000 System’s ASD
bus. Integrat
ion provides marked advantages in the
following:
• Reduced operating and training costs.
• Increased employee productivity.
• Increased dia
gnostic capabilities to extend
equipment li
fe.
• Improved systems information and control.
• Maximized energy savings.
