RTI simplifies large system design
Published: PRODUCTS
Integration Designer 9.0 is the latest programming software from Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI), boasting a wealth of major updates, including new features for large multiprocessor systems, diagnostics and improved performance.
The programming software now boasts a set of new features optimised to simplify the design of large systems with multiple processors, such as the ability to create independent Zigbee networks, a diagnostic driver for monitoring system performance as well as an improved overall performance.
Not stopping there, Integration Designer 9.0 introduces a new way for integrators to design large systems using multiple processors, known as the ‘master/slave mode.’ The new mode allows additional processors to be added as expansion devices to the master processor. The processors communicate via Ethernet, enabling the resources of the slave processors to be available for control of devices – even two-way drivers can be assigned to run on a slave processor. In scenarios such as a cabana or master suite, where it's challenging or impossible to bridge all processors into a single wireless network, another powerful new feature enables slave processors to form independent Zigbee networks.
To provide integrators with the ability to monitor, troubleshoot and report on many aspects of a system's performance, Integration Designer 9.0 includes a new diagnostic driver that can be loaded onto an XP series processor running the latest firmware. Using any web browser, integrators can connect to the IP address of the processor to access its diagnostics web interface to view processor vitals, controller connection status, driver usage and detailed logging information.
Version 9.0 also introduces a number of new commands for improved performance and even simpler programming, including: ‘Show All Devices on Local Network’, ‘Import/Export Driver Configuration’ and ‘Configure Template’.
