1 The MATRIX-2 Series
DESCRIPTION
The MATRIX-2 is an IoT (Internet of Things) embedded ASPECT® Control Engine now available in the familiar
Cylon controller form factor. It is designed to provide flexible site control applications for medium to large
scale building automation systems. It can be used to connect with Cylon CB Series and AAM NB Series of
BACnet® MS/TP field level controllers. The MATRIX-2 supports serial communications protocols such as
BACnet, AAM PUP, and Modbus®. Additionally, TCP/IP communications using FT/Net, BACnet, Modbus and
Cylon’s Unitron (when used with the UC32.netK) protocols are available when using the RJ-45 connection.
APPLICATION
A capacity-based licensing model makes the MATRIX-2 family of controllers scalable for medium to large
buildings applications, including a campus environment when combined with the ASPECT-Enterprise server
software. The MATRIX-2 provides network management and integration of the supported field level RS-485
and TCP/IP communication protocols.
When deployed with embedded ASPECT Runtime Engine, the MATRIX-2 is capable of supervisory-based
control functions including but not limited to energy management routines, custom sequencing, alarm and
event annunciation, historical alarming and trending, and master control scheduling. Additionally, streaming
of live connected data is displayed rich HTML5 graphics using a web browser.
ASPECT uses secure web technologies to enrich the user experience through common internet applications
for alarm annunciation and scheduling. Receive alarms either from the integrated alarm console or through
e-mail clients, or Twitter®. Schedule your building equipment through an integrated scheduler or by using
common scheduling platforms such as Microsoft® Outlook®, Apple iCal, Google Calendar™.
