VISTA SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
TAC VISTA INTEROPERABLE OPEN SYSTEMS CREATE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
To satisfy the accelerating building control requirements of today’s building owners
and occupants, the controls industry focuses on information technology for building
management – Building IT.
By merging communications, data collection, information sharing and networking into
a single, interoperable system, TAC Vista creates efficient, economical building control
solutions that fit seamlessly with other products based on open system architecture.
Combining industry-standard technology with an easy-to-use interface, TAC Vista
produces an integrated building management solution that is reliable, flexible and
cost-effective. Full integration of environmental control as well as facility and energy
management in a single software package allow you to customize TAC Vista for any
building and security management application.
OPEN SYSTEM FOR OPEN CHOICE
TAC Vista is based on totally open architecture, which gives customers freedom of
choice in selecting products from a wide range of suppliers, yielding true vendor inde-
pendence. TAC Vista runs on Microsoft

Windows

with standard LAN communica-
tion on Ethernet

or fiber optics using TCP/IP and standard network equipment. Field
bus communication features the open L

ORKS
®
technology, which is used by more
than 3,000 vendors worldwide.
TCP/IP OFFERS A VARIETY OF NETWORKING ARCHITECTURE OPTIONS
Using TCP/IP, TAC Vista host workstations can communicate across the Internet and
existing commercial WAN/LANs.
TAC VISTA’S FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTURE MAKES IT HIGHLY SCALABLE
TAC Vista is eminently suited for any building management application, regardless of
the building size, the number of buildings or what distances separate the buildings.
TAC Vista manages multi-campus office parks and district-wide school systems just as
efficiently as single, small office buildings.
