Building Automation

Amplicon have worked with many high-profile building controls manufacturers and installers to produce high reliability networks.

Over the years, we have seen a rapid transition from serial (RS232, RS422 and RS485) to Ethernet based BMS Systems. This change in the way that PC's, outstations and controllers are networked together has left some companies in need of assistance with Ethernet / IP network design.

Amplicon has a long history in supplying data communications and networking solutions, along with offering cost competitive solutions and providing a wide range of services including design, consultancy and installation.
