2 Durable. Functional. Flexible. True innovation requires flexibility. That is why American Auto-Matrix offers a multitude of architectural solutions that provide flexibility beyond comparison in the building automation industry today. Whether your project requires a single controller with a touchscreen small display, has a significant number of points and requires a web interface solution, or entails an enterprise level of sophistication, we have the right architecture for you. Providing Smart Building Solutions for over 30 years, our controllers have all been designed to be backwards compatible. With sites worldwide utilizing controllers installed from the early 80 s until the present, we know the importance in our network of Solution Integrators having the available support and technology they need to maintain or upgrade their sites without high costs. This means no built in obsolescence. In addition to providing quality HVAC control, we also develop and manufacture solutions for Critical Environment Control, making it possible to integrate both systems. Combine this with truly open protocols, BACnet capabilities, and LON connectivity, and you have exactly what you need: Flexibility that enables innovation. From the beginning, it has been our intention to deliver the smartest solutions for our integrators; purposefully designing our products with the ability to be used for a variety of applications and functions, while still maintaining a level of support and functionality unprecedented in the industry. We have been successful achieving our goals, and know that with our technology, our customers will continuously have the solutions they need to effectively provide for their customer base, now and in years to come. 1

3 Example AAM Installation Sites For over 30 years, American Auto-Matrix products have been installed throughout the world. Laboratories, universities, hospitals, sporting arenas, and museums are among the types of facilities that rely on our controls to provide affordable, dependable, and easily maintained solutions. Our controls were utilized at the American Museum of Natural History in order to regulate the climate for Leonardo Da Vinci s Codex Leicester: A Masterpiece of Science, an exhibit which held the last privately held manuscript of Da Vinci. American Museum of Natural History New York We also control the temperature and humidity at the Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space, where the Zeiss Star Projector, one of the most advanced projectors in the world, is used. The University of Maryland uses our Auto-Flow line of Lab & Fume Hood Controls because it allows for maximum efficiency and increased energy savings while providing precise temperature, humidity, and pressure control throughout the day for students and faculty alike.

4 Building Integration for Your World with AspectFT. With the AspectFT control engine, you are not limited to just one solution. Through our Facilitating Technology (FT), the AspectFT product line is based upon open standards used within multiple industries. Designed to perform control sequences and building management routines from an array of device platforms, AspectFT can communicate utilizing drivers such as BACnet, American Auto-Matrix PUP, and Modbus. Through these varying aspects of the software, users can scale their projects based on size as well as hardware, and still receive the level of sophistication and control they expect. Flexible by design, AspectFT products provide affordable area control, field-bus network data routing, rich database connectivity options, and the ability to take data available through web services and apply it to traditional control applications and sequences. Integrating into today s technology, AspectFT also brings building information and control into the palm of any user s hand through integration with services like Twitter, RSS, , Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple ical. With compatible and common web platforms, you can access your building in a variety of ways from a variety of devices. In many cases AspectFT will integrate with your current computer or smart device through programs already on those devices. 3

6 Integration By utilizing open protocols such as BACnet, Integra and AspectFT family products can coexist on the same system architecture with one another and maintain harmonized control and interaction with their respective systems. As our industry continues to push the envelope to leverage open standards in data layers implemented across Ethernet and Internet-networked connections, American Auto-Matrix provides and maintains a feature-rich road map to support both cutting-edge product families. While each product family contains different philosophies, approaches, and differentiators, both maintain the same course. This provides distributed control and network based access to building automation systems in a reliable and efficient manner to meet the needs of building owners around the world. 5

8 Integra The Integra Architecture provides a robust platform for integrating multiple networks into one unified source. Powered by the NiagraAX Framework, Integra is a powerful embedded web appliance capable of integrating American Auto-Matrix PUP, BACnet, legacy PUP, and a variety of popular open protocols into a cohesive real-time control network. A single Integra controller contains up to four EIA- 485 ports, up to two EIA-232 ports, one 10/100 MB ethernet port, and a dedicated FT-10 port for LonWorks applications. With standard area controller capabilities and multiple configuration modes, Integra provides a web-based graphical user interface, providing users with the means to monitor and modify control system elements from any standard web-browser. All data processed by Integra controllers can be directed back to Integra Supervisor, a PC-based software package designed to provide server storage of histories, alarms, and many other data elements kept within an Integra controller, creating high-level enterprise capabilities. 3 7

10 Legacy For nearly two decades, the SageMAX Area Controller empowered AAM s system architecture to provide connectivity between users of a building, and the control system itself. Introducing distributed control and network area control, this architecture made American Auto-Matrix a global leader in providing Smart Building Solutions. With the advancements in network-centric technology, AAM continues to support its philosophy of backwards compatibility with the introduction of the Matrix-PNC. The Matrix-PNC is a high-speed network controller designed to assist with the migration of SageMAX installation to take advantage of AspectFT technology with less labor and programming required. Supplying assisted migration of custom logic developed in a SageMAX via SPL, the Matrix-PNC can be used to expand existing system architectures and even phase-out SageMAX Area Controllers. Provided that an existing SageMAX utilizes a current revision of the Sage OS, AspectFT can be used to communicate to legacy devices networked to it, as well as new products like the Matrix-PNC. 9
