Alerton recognized the benefits of BACnet and introduced the industry's first total BACnet system, BACtalk. This forward thinking is consistent with Alerton's rich history of technology innovation. BACtalk is BACnet implemented at all system levels.
From our remarkable Windows®-based operator workstations, to network controllers and routers, to central plant controllers. Even a complete family of unitary and zone controllers. Such a total BACnet-based system gives you ultimate flexibility to integrate other BACnet-based systems and components. A BACtalk system can fit buildings of any type or size, from office buildings, schools, and hospitals, to universities, factories, hotels, and military installations. And because BACtalk is based on BACnet, you are assured of a system that will interoperate with systems of the future.

Alerton pioneered DDC technology and advanced it throughout the entire mechanical system, right down to the terminal unit. This concept of total control has long since become the industry standard and gave rise to our family of controllers which can accommodate virtually any application. Our high-performance operator workstation, Envision™ for IBEX™, is Microsoft® Windows-based software offering an intuitive platform that can view, monitor, and control facility operations located anywhere in the world from a single graphical workstation.

To integrate diverse systems a physical connection to a device's network is required. The Java Application Control Engine (JACE) is the mechanism that provides this connectivity to systems within a building. JACE allows interconnection of common network protocols such as LonWorks, BACnet, and Modbus, along with many proprietary networks.
