Innotech Control Systems Australia has been designing and manufacturing controls
for over 26 years. Innotech products are high quality, innovative, and are supported
by a network of local and international distributors.
The advantage of using Innotech products is that our clients are able to throw off the
shackles of contemporary control companies. This is because Innotech is open protocol
in the Maxim range, which allows any company to maintain or tune the system following
installation. Training is free to anyone who requests it.
Recent changes in the market have led to the consolidation of the BACnet protocol
as the main internationally recognised control protocol for HVAC systems.
Innotech and Control Concepts are at the forefront of these developments and
have been interfacing with BACnet devices from a variety of manufacturers with
excellent results. See our recent projects for further details. Control Concepts is
also capable of providing one-off boxed control solutions.
Building Management Systems
Control Concepts specialises in creating customised building management systems (BMS)
capable of encompassing HVAC, water, lighting and electrical systems.
Our BMS packages allow our clients to view, control and report on their building plant.
Each package is customised to the specific requirements of the project, and all control
logic is custom written for New Zealand conditions, instead of standard libraries written
for overseas conditions.
Our Graphical User Interfaces (GUI's) are built to work for those who use them. GUI's for
HVAC systems are often built to exclusively cater to those who are familiar with
commercial HVAC and engineering, leaving staff who must use the system but are not
competent in HVAC to struggle with non-intuitive interfaces and pages covered in jargon.
Our interfaces are built in such a way that those desiring a more simplified user experience
are catered for, while still making available the layers of information required by
maintenance staff and administrators.
Some of the functions our BMS systems are capable of:
Logging, Trending of All Points
Billing/Report Production on Electricity, Water Use & CO2 Production
Touchscreen or Mouse Driven Display - 22" Minimum
Simultaneous Multiple User External Access
Full Email & SMS Alarm Capabilities
High Level Interface to 3rd Party Devices & Plant Items
O&M Manuals Incorporated Into User Interface
Innotech BACnet Interface
Control Concepts is experienced in providing BACnet interfaces for VRV/VRF systems,
power meters, and general plant. To date we have successfully completed contracts
interfacing with VRV/VRF BACnet gateways from all the leading manufacturers,
including Daikin, Mitshubishi Heavy, Toshiba etc. It is not uncommon for us to
troubleshoot BACnet problems for other controls companies in this area.
BACnet has lately gained traction as the world standard in comms protocols for
building automation and control networks. The Innotech BACnet gateway and Icomm
database allows us to seamlessly interface with any BACnet device as part of the
solutions we offer.
Innotech Maxim Series
The Innotech Maxim series is a state of the art processing system that has the
capability of controlling various types of industrial, commercial, and domestic systems.
The Maxim series offers great flexiblity for smaller scale or less complex automatic
plant operation.
The Maxim series can operate as a standalone device, using its own universal inputs
and analogue and digital outputs to receive information and control external
equipment, or as part of a network of Innotech devices that support Global Netcomms.
The Maxim hardware works together with the Maxim Software Range which offers very
simple to use, yet powerful configuring, monitoring/debugging, simulating, and
extracting tools.
Examples from the Maxim range:
Innotech Genesis Series
The Innotech GENESIS II system is a state-of-the-art processing system that has
the capability of controlling various types of industrial systems. Although the
GENESIS II system is flexible and can be adapted to a variety of applications, it is
primarily designed to control large scale heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems. The main unit of the GENESIS II System hardware is the
GENESIS II Controller, which is operationally tailored to the customer’s specific
application requirements by GEN2 Software applications and several types of
hardware modules. These modules are referred to collectively as Remote
Expansion Modules (REMs). Several types of software programs are used to
configure the hardware to the customer’s intended application and to assist in
plant-monitoring, data logging and analysis, data exchange and troubleshooting.
