matrix, what about no licensing do you fail to understand? Loytec actually designs and MANUFACTURES their products. They do not buy a power pc from Taiwan and load some software on it like another vendor that you are familiar with.

The basic version has a license for two users. Additional licenses for more than two users are available.
and this bit...
LWEB-820 Hierarchical structuring and changing of schedule parameter and calendar, license for 2 users
and this bit ...
LWEB-821 Efficient parameterization of L-INX and L-ROC devices, license for 2 users
...Hmm, are you sure you have a handle all your licensing requirements and costs???
I feel like I am watching a political debate for presidency.
Same thing here. It's good info-didn't know alot of it. Azzad actually turned me onto EasyIO. They have YouTube videos on their configuration. Looks pretty slick.Quote:

XcelTech,
If yer Loytec will deliver and it doesn't screw us or our customers over...then it's in the stable. Simple as that.
Bigboyz better get smart and start selling us controls. or giving tech support. or making themselves available when required....or we will just rip their 'open'-proprietary ie. Bacnet rubbish out and put in Tridium...or Loytec
The customers are starting to wise up... the consultants are already listening.
When LON was released all the consultants jumped on it, then Bacnet came and they're all on it like a seagull on a french-Fry...maybe the next thing will be IEC 61499
The thing will all this OPEN noise is that all the big boyz are on the bandwagon *****ing about licenses and complaining about proprietary etc when typically they are way more closed and restrictive than Tridium.
xarralu,
Azzad...sounds like Dazza backwards ... I think azzad may well be in the same part of the world as we are ...
He's out of Australia. He says he has been using EasyIO and really likes it. Maybe he will chime in here soonQuote:

At this point in time I use the EasyIO 30 controllers as a freely programmable. They have been the best bang for buck controller I have come across that actually work. I have had 0 failures and 0 projects I havent been able to achieve with the EasyIO 30's.
Maybe I am just lucky though.
I just need an affordable standalone front end for accessing schedules and a couple of setpoints. From what I understand they are working on that right now.

Did I forget to mention I didnt need to buy any software to program them or network them?

easy io spits out BACnet or Modbus, why not use a loytec touch screen for your front end?Quote:

Ok.
But you said you want a front end. controllers are not front end, so you gotta spend some though.
I thought infocon also sold Jace200 as easyio-J2 with no contracts, so why not use that as the front end?. I believe in your region they price J2s pretty aggressively.
That would then become more expensive then the loytech option as I would have to supply either a pc or some sort of touchscreen as well.
I know I want everything for nothing but I am just trying to provide what my customers want for the budget they have.
We are making do at the moment with setpoint adjust stats and stand alone time clocks but it will be nice to use the functionality built into the EasyIO with limited extra cost.
The interface has to be simple to use and allow access to the couple of things required, preferablly bolted to the wall and nothing else, the loytech touchscreen would be ideal if I could get them at a better price.
