Satchwell IAC Satchnet Driver

Overview

Satchwell Intelligent Advanced Controllers (IAC) are quite interesting devices: they could be used as configurable (for VAV, terminal units, zone control) and programmable for custom applications using graphical tool “Bubbleland”. While being a legacy product, they still successfully operate in many building around the world.

IAC controllers could be used as standalone or as a part of a larger building management system. They use SatchNet Protocol – also known as SNP – on RS-485 interface. There could be up to 32 devices connected to a single line.

• Communicates via RS-485 port
• Enables point read and write
• Overrides outputs for maintenance
• Supports automatic device discovery
• Supports automatic point and property discovery
• Maps Satchwell units into Niagara units
• Synchronizes time in all devices
