/PRNewswire/ -- To expand the capabilities of its independent
controls contractor channel, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. is
introducing a new version of TALON building automation based on the
versatile, open BACnet protocol. With BACnet, TALON controls offer
advanced integration capabilities and a comprehensive set of tools
to ease the design, installation and commissioning that today's
building controls contractors need to tackle the most sophisticated
projects profitably. (Logo:

controls contractors' role as building automation system
integrators is growing more prominent everyday. As the projects
they win grow more complex, so does their need for reliable access
to flexible control technologies and relevant technical
information. To help meet these critical demands, the TALON brand
is available through the company's nationwide network of Siemens
Solutions Partners -- independent integrators and controls
contractors formerly known as Staefa dealers. For years, TALON
dealers have offered the LonTalk protocol. Now with BACnet,
contractors and integrators have even more flexibility to more
effectively meet building owner and consulting engineer
requirements. Key to TALON's versatility is the broad array of
integration drivers that enable precise HVAC system management as
well as tightly integrated control of security, fire and lighting
systems and building operator-friendly management capabilities.
These features are designed to optimize building owners'
investments and allow greater owner control and management of their
systems. With open architecture based on BACnet or LonTalk
protocols and advanced tools that ensure precise control schemes
and trouble-free system implementation, TALON building automation
provides integrators with ultimate flexibility and the tools they
need to keep projects on schedule and in the black. Physical
barriers to system implementation are also virtually eliminated now
that Siemens offers a wireless controller for TALON. Enabled by
Siemens' proven mesh network technology, TALON wireless can improve
a building operator's return on retrofit investment, fulfill new
tenant needs and enable new levels of building operating efficiency
and energy management in either as-built, or new construction
environments. For more information on TALON system building
