• LonTalk at the field controller level
• Investing in new, open standards
• Effective for newer systems and future
  installations
• Minimal capability to integrate proprietary
  systems
• Varying methods
• Replace rather than integrate - expensive.
• Investment required to develop software and
  drivers for Trane designed integration platform
  (Tracer SC)
• Time
• Schedule

7
Integration Vision

• Renewed focus on retrofit
• Ability to provide system solutions
• To the customer...

35
Eliminate the Integration Gotchas

• Integration team requires someone with specific
  knowledge of the target control system. This
  can be a client employee, integration team member
  or a third party
• Integration may require 3rd party devices be
  installed in the target system
• The end client needs to provide Integration team
  with a list of points in the target system that
  require integration and the list needs to clearly
  indentify monitor points (read) and control
  points (read/write).
• End client needs to provide the integration team
  with access to the system during the life of the
  integration project including any maintenance
  period

Our Solution Normalizes Data

• JENEsys is an integration platform
• JENEsys normalizes integration data
• JENEsys is not a gateway

39
Gateway

• Translates protocols typically using a matrix
  type equivalency table N to N relationship
• Very specific to revision level on both sides
• Difficult to upgrade either side without causing
  a problem
• Requires extensive support from vendor at the
  corporate level to implement.
• Must be cooperation between parties involved.
• Cost will vary from expensive to very expensive

Normalized Data

• Is a relational database function
• Brings all data into the platform
• Has higher data integrity
• Provides a uniform view of device data
• Is less subject to versioning issues
• Allows the data to be output into multiple
  formats (e.g. one to anything conversion)
• Provides common look and feel to all systems
• Similar to FILE EDIT VIEW TOOLS in Microsoft

43
Normalized Data
44
Takeaways on Normalized Data

• JENEsys provides normalized data
• This means
• A more robust interface
• Easier data handling for integrators
• More flexibility in providing interfaces
• One to anything capability
• Less prone to re-visioning issues

Summary Defining a Point

• The Role of a JENE
• Discover devices/points on legacy network
• Select desired points
• Map desired points to BACnet
• Only mapped points count towards sizing

73
Summary Defining a Point, Cont.

• The Role of a BCU
• Graphics
• Discover mapped points as non-Trane device
• Tracer Summit graphics dont require additional
  BCU capacity to display/control mapped points
• Trends
• Trending mapped points does not require
  additional BCU points (but you do need additional
  storage for the trends)
• Alarming
• BCU Points must be created if alarming required
• Programming
• CPL that references the mapped points does not
  require BCU points
• Scheduling
• BCU scheduling that references the mapped
  points does not require BCU points

74

• Will you require System Level or Field Bus Level
  Integration?
• Depends on your requirements and driver
  capabilities
• Integration at System Level
• Add to graphics
• Will we add graphics for status/control
• Add to programming
• Adding additional control not previously
  available
• Integration at Field Bus Level
• Duplicate removed system level control routines
  in Tracer system
• Duplicate removed system level graphics in Tracer
  system
• Supplement graphics/programming as required

77
Other Issues to Discuss

• Does your application require additional BCU
  capacity?
• Do we need to acquire legacy tools or do you have
  them?
• Configuration
• Programming
• Servicing
• Subcontracting
• Is there a guide?
• Legacy protocol technician capabilities
• What are your requirements for warrantees and
  service?

Testimonials

• Using JENEsys we can sell more Trane controls,
  not less.  And we have just touched the surface
  of the potential that can be reached by
  combining the JENEsys solution with standard
  Trane controls.  The JENEsys product opens up
  more options. For example, we have the option of
  better integration to competitors' systems. This
  opens up opportunities for more Trane controls to
  be sold, and helps connect us with new customers
  to broaden our base of potential service
  contracts. 
• Steve Brimeyer of Trane Des Moines

81
Testimonials

• Lynxspring products have increased both our
  controls and equipment business by allowing us to
  integrate into other peoples systems. This has
  resulted in both increased equipment and service
  business. We now are able to talk to customers
  that we couldnt talk to in the past. We are
  doing a job right now with a school district that
  has four Johnson schools and one Honeywell.
  Before Lynxspring we would not have been
  considered. With Lynxspring, we have the job.
• Kevin Hauser at Harshaw Trane

82
Testimonials

• The Lynxspring product has helped us secure new
  business as well as expand our horizons on
  existing or new Summit. The product has made it
  possible for us to respond to requests from
  customers to integrate other competitive systems
  into our Summit Workstation.  Recently,
  Lynxspring assisted us with integration
  information from Network8000 through Lynxspring
  to Summit and we have responded favorably to the
  customer.  We have also used it to expand from
  our Summit system on a campus of one of the
  Energy Industry customers to pick up two JCI
  buildings and integrate the information through
  our Summit workstation.
• From Al Connelly at the Hunton Group (Houston
  Trane)

83
Testimonials

• Lynxspring has top graded our capabilities by
  providing Trane Arkansas with a larger tool set
  and more flexibility. As a result our people got
  better. We were also better able to focus on
  retrofit and service opportunities. Also, we had
  lost out to Niagara on some campus and
  government contracts and Lynxspring let us come
  back to compete for those jobs.

Tactic 1 Target Competitive Controls Systems as
Service Opportunities

• Use knowledge of competitive controls to expand
  share of service customers
• Meet the owners need for comfort, reliability,
  efficiency
• Start with maintaining the incumbent system
• Leverage the lament Its not working now and
  its never worked!
