Airedale offer a solution that allow its AIRETronix controller to interface to the TREND network & Building Management System.

The TREND interface card is a small PCB (60mm x 30mm), which can be plugged into the AIRETronix controller to provide it with TREND network capability. The interface card needs to be configured (by Airedale Controls) in order that the required AIRETronix controller variables are linked to appropriate TREND parameters; these then become accessible via the TREND network using standard (text) communications.

The AIRETronix controller, fitted with the TREND interface card will sit on a TREND LAN and communicate with other TREND LAN devices using terse text communication.

A Network Display Panel (NDP) can monitor and control the TREND interface card via its display and directory modules. A PC or NDP can communicate with the interface card over the TREND LAN via CNC (or LNC), or via the virtual CNC provided by plugging locally into an IQ controller's local supervisor port.
