§ 01 · SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Five protocols in, five subsystems out,
one server in between.
No cloud by default. The server sits on the same network as the controllers, so losing the internet only means losing remote access — the site keeps running.
§ 02 · WHO IT IS FOR
Past a certain number of devices, nobody can say what the building is doing right now.
Office buildings and industrial offices with central plant
Chillers, air handlers, water pumps and common-area lighting each come from a different vendor, with their own box, their own software and their own password. Only once they share one screen can the person on duty take it all in at a glance.
Existing sites with mixed equipment brands
Delta and Siemens PLCs, BACnet HVAC and Modbus meters coexisting is the norm, not the exception. All five protocols run on one server, so a handful of odd devices does not justify a second system.
Buildings pursuing intelligent-building certification
The system is designed against the six indicators of the 2024 Intelligent Building Evaluation Manual — what gets monitored, how alarms flow, scheduling, and how long history is kept all line up with the assessment items.
Integrators commissioning site after site
Points, alarms, schedules and every screen — background images included — export as one package, so a commissioned site can be cloned onto the next one. The second building costs far less than the first.
For a single piece of equipment, the vendor’s own controller is usually cheaper and enough. SynBA earns its place the moment the device count and the number of brands go up.
§ 09 · START THE ASSESSMENT
Three questions will tell you
whether this fits.
- CHK-01Which subsystems does this building have, and who installed each one?
- CHK-02Can you still find the point list for the Modbus devices?
- CHK-03Do you need to watch status, or to actually control?
- We prefer to ask the questions before quoting. A price given before the point count is settled is a price that will change.
