Notes on integration
• Its Not Magic
- Controlling equipment and system integration is not the same
- Each control manufacturer has nuances
• Have the right tools and skills
- You need native tools and skills to maintain the existing system.
- Many “open” protocol systems may require native programming tools
• Some systems are easier than others
Done Properly Integrations Work
• Target your Market
- Concentrate on the largest install base and best opportunities
- Prepare to invest more labor on your first integration
• Find your resources
- Employ or contract people experienced with your competitors products
- Lynxspring can help you find the proper resources
• Service Master
- Done right, product differentiation is limited, your Trane rules
Session 5 Takeaways
• JENEsys™ is an IP based product/system
• Integration projects are inherent in JENEsys™ design and architecture
• Drivers for integration come from 3 sources
– Direct from Lynxspring
– From 3rd parties for which Lynxspring is a distributor
– From 3rd parties that Lynxspring references and for which Lynxspring
will act as a liaison
• Lynxspring Professional Services will do driver development using the
FlexSerialDriver API
• Be prepared for integration projects

Introduction to Niagara AX and ProBuilder
• Niagara AX Characteristics:
– Java-based: uses Java VM as a common runtime
environment across various o/s and hardware
– Heterogeneous system integration: designed to be
“protocol agnostic”; assumes no one standard; integrates
cleanly to all networks and protocols
– Programming for non-programmers: Java APIs combined
with graphical programming and config tools
– Embedded Systems: wide range of processors from small
embedded devices to server class machines
– Distributed systems: scalability in highly distributed
systems with thousands of nodes and range of network

Web Server Option
• All JENEsys™ platforms can be made into web
servers with the addition of a WEB UI license file
– With the addition of WEB UI, any Internet browser (e.g.
Internet Explore, Firefox) can access the JENEsys™
platform directly
– Platforms can serve up web pages as defined by the
ProBuilder application
– Possible applications include configuration and
diagnostics data if required by the end user
Web Required or Not?
• As an Internet controller and server, JENEsys™ can output information
to any device that can access the internet.
– If visualization is required, the JENEsys™ must have Web UI Services
installed
– If sending a text-based message, Web UI Services are not necessary on the
JENEsys™ controller
Embedded ProBuilder
• Provides ProBuilder functionality on the JENEsys™ controller
• Requires Web UI Services license on the JENEsys™ controller
