By utilizing Automated Logic, the new BAS system will match the existing Automated Logic WebCTRL System Extended Architecture system currently used throughout the School District. The new Automated Logic BAS consists of a network of interoperable, stand-alone digital controllers communicating on a native BACnet open protocol communication network to a host computer within any new facility and communicating via the intranet to provide remote computer access.
