Does Automated Logic sell or make standalone programmable logic controllers?

ALC manufactures standalone, microprocessor-based controllers that often perform the same functions as programmable logic controllers.  Although each controller is "standalone", it is intended that they be networked using ASHRAE standard BACnet communications throughout a building, campus or global enterprise, and can be interconnected with other building control systems.

How much does a typical Automated Logic system cost?

ALC products are competitively priced; however, cost can vary greatly depending on the size and type of project. Several potential factors include: whether the system will be retrofitted to an existing facility or installed in new construction; whether the system will involve control at the individual zone level or simple control of the major pieces of equipment; and if there is a need to use specialized sensors for a certain application.

Since no two buildings are alike and the needs of each facility are different, there is no standard estimate for a typical system. The best approach for determining the cost of a system is to contact Automated Logic. We can put you in touch with one of our local representatives who can assist in creating a customized budget based on your needs.
