Automated Logic Expands OptiFlex Family with New Network Controllers for Enhanced Building Automation

Automated Logic is excited to announce the launch of two new controllers for the WebCTRL® building automation system: the OptiFlex™ Network Isolator and the OptiFlex Integration Router. These controllers enhance network security and streamline integration, offering a robust and future-ready foundation for modern building management. Automated Logic, a leading provider of innovative building-management solutions, is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. 

The new controllers feature a compact design and include dual IP ports, facilitating daisy-chain Ethernet connections for straightforward installation. They are compatible with WebCTRL v9 or later systems and feature robust BACnet routing capabilities across IP, Ethernet, BACnet/SC, MS/TP, and ARCNET networks. They are also BTL listed, conforming to BACnet standards to ensure interoperability, reliability, and compliance. 

In addition, the OptiFlex Network Isolator (part number OFISO-E2), offers IP isolation, acting as a crucial security layer by segregating building automation IP devices from business networks, thus helping to safeguard against unauthorized access and cyber threats. The device is IT-friendly, simplifying network management and installation by requiring only a single IP address for all devices on the isolated network. Additionally, it facilitates streamlined deployment with a built-in DHCP server, which reduces configuration and installation time. 

The OptiFlex™ Integration Router (part number OFINT-E2), packs all the power of the existing OptiFlex BACnet Integrator (part number G5CE) into a 39% smaller footprint while adding dual IP ports, flexible point licensing, and multi-protocol support for seamless integration to building sub-systems. Open protocols including BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, N2 Open, and KNX are supported through serial and Ethernet connections. It is scalable from 100 to 5,000 integration points and supports custom control programs for enhanced energy efficiency and occupant comfort, providing a future-proof foundation for modern building management. 

"With the introduction of the OptiFlex™ Network Isolator and Integration Router, we are delivering advanced solutions that not only enhance security and integration but also provide a scalable platform for future growth,” said Axel Reichert, President, Automated Logic. “These devices are designed with IT compatibility and ease of installation in mind, underscoring our dedication to simplifying the complexities of building automation.” 

The WebCTRL® system continues to be one of the most user-friendly building automation systems, with reliable, proven technology to create fully integrated, high performing buildings. For more information, please visit www.automatedlogic.com or contact your local Automated Logic dealer.
