We're excited to announce our new partnership with Kander and PurpleSwift, two powerful Systems Integration lines now available at Cochrane Supply. These products empower HVAC controls contractors and Systems Integrators with the tools they need to deliver superior integration solutions.
Kander: JCI to N4 Made Easy
Kander is designed to simplify the process of converting Johnson Controls databases to Niagara4 stations. They reproduce your existing control logic (GPL, LCT, interlocks) in the Niagara4 station wire sheets. The translated control logic allows the JACE to seamlessly replicate the functionality of the N30, NCM, NAE, or SNE it replaces.
Creating Clean and Consistent Databases
A one-to-one conversion of your existing Johnson Controls database is brought into the Niagara4 stations, allowing everything - points, controllers, trunks, alarms, histories, schedules, and shares – to be brought over to the JACE. You will maintain access to everything you need. As part of the conversion process, Kander can update the names of your points and controllers per your specifications. Whether you need a specific format or to clean up inconsistent naming, it ensures a clean, consistent database.
Key Features of Kander:
- Seamless JCI to N4 Conversion
- Comprehensive Data Migration
- Accurate Control Logic Reproduction
- One-to-One Database Conversion
- Clean and Consistent Database Naming
- Reliable and Cost-Effective Integration
- Enhanced System Performance
- Tailored Solutions for HVAC Contractors
PurpleSwift: BACnetP2 – Integration Made Simple
