Johnson Controls Facility Explorer

Facility Explorer is the building automation platform at the core of every system we install. It runs the daily work of your building — HVAC sequencing, scheduling, alarming, trending, and energy management — through a family of supervisory and field controllers built for environments where downtime isn't an option. And because it's a Johnson Controls product with a global install base, parts, documentation, and certified support are never more than a call away.

Tridium Niagara

Niagara is the open framework Facility Explorer runs on. It takes equipment speaking different languages — BACnet, LON, N2, Modbus, from any manufacturer, any era — and normalizes all of it into a single supervisory layer with one login and one interface. Legacy controllers and third-party sub-systems integrate instead of getting ripped out, which is exactly what you want in a retrofit.

The Equipment We Run

• Supervisory: Facility Explorer FX80 supervisory controllers — Niagara 4 framework, BACnet/IP, browser-based HTML5 interface
• Field control: FX-PC series programmable controllers — BACnet MS/TP, application-specific and fully programmable variants
• Protocols: BACnet, LON, N2, Modbus — native, not bolted on
• Access: web-served interface from any device on the network — no proprietary client software

• Full facility control in one system
• Reduces redundancy
• Increased risk mitigation
• Standardizable across multiple facilities

An open system means your building answers to you, not your service provider and not the OEM. Every system we install is built this way — so the equipment, the data, and the service relationship stay under your control for the life of the system. No proprietary lock-in. No single-vendor dependency.
