Staefa Talon

Whether it is BACnet, LonTalk, Modbus, Profibus, Rs-232, or Rs-485, we have it in the Staefa Talon System. Talon Network managers (powered by Niagara) come standard with BACnet and LonTalk, Rs-232, and Rs-485 communication ports, with the additional options of Modbus, Profibus. Being Open means having the capabilities to integrate all major forms of Open Protocol. When you limit communication, you limit interoperability. Since interoperability is the goal, why not be completely open?

Often Open Protocols are used as the means to lock out the competition under the guise of openness. The use of Specifications requiring one protocol over another often leaves the owner with few choices for best of breed, best Service provider and tends to result in higher costs. Talon lets the owner include those who choose to be Open without locking themselves into a limited number of choices. No longer can Automatic temperature control manufacturers and contractors remain at the status quo, they must all learn to integrate interpolate and remain competitive. This is the essence of Staefa Talon.

Bay Mechanical Inc. and Staefa Controls Talon system are dedicated to open communication. For more information please contact Scott McCoy.
