The ALTITUDE Server can bring data together from all of your building services under a simple and easy to use Web graphical user interface. Using your existing IT network infrastructure or the Internet, you can monitor and control in real time the operation and efficiency of your buildings, wherever you are. Based on proven communications standards, an ALTITUDE Server is also fluent in most building system protocols, industry-standard or proprietary, including LonWorks (LNS), BACnet, OPC, Modbus, TAC I/NET and Trend. The ALTITUDE Server is available ready installed on an ALTITUDE NETSERVER or as a software only solution to be deployed on your preferred hardware platform. The ALTITUDE Enterprise Manager enables centralized management of a network of ALTITUDE Servers providing a powerful tool for the effective management and control of a portfolio of buildings, delivering substantial benefit to the Enterprise .

 

Powerful yet easy-to-use.

Modern buildings comprise a multitude of sophisticated technologies to control costs and conditions; however, the complexity and variety of user interfaces often reduces their actual effectiveness. The Plexus ALTITUDE Servers provide you with a common look and feel for all your building services. Using familiar Web browsers with associated authentication, users gain real-time visibility through crisp and easy to navigate.

Graphical Web pages. Data from these disparate systems can be displayed and monitored in a common format providing the ability to quickly re-think, plan and improve building operational efficiency, with measurable results.

 

Reduces business risks.

The ALTITUDE Servers constantly monitor building status and can promptly notify impending problems or malfunctions through one cohesive alarm management system. Clear messages allow you to react swiftly and thereby dramatically reduce impact on occupants and costs, such as energy bills. All events are automatically logged on the ALTITUDE Servers for further consolidation and reporting.

Open and scalable technology.

The ALTITUDE Server is fully scalable and infinitely expandable. Built around proven industry-standard technologies, the system can grow in line with your needs. The ALTITUDE Server can bring lower operating costs and improved management to all types of organisation and facilities of all sizes. A full Plexus Enterprise Automation System can be created to manage multiple sites by incorporating an ALTITUDE Enterprise Manager, to unify data from each individual ALTITUDE Server, including security, configuration, backup/restore and maintenance management. Further applications are also available such as the ALTITUDE Energy Suite and bespoke solutions can be created to meet your specific requirements.
