An all-new hardware platform optimized for Niagara 4: the QHUNTER controller. This next-generation controller features a global design that functions with legacy systems and can scale for future needs. The QHUNTER controller offers significant improvements over previous generations. The QHUNTER is a compact, embedded IoT (Internet of Things) controller and server platform for connecting multiple and diverse devices and sub-systems. With Internet connectivity and Webserving capability, the QHUNTER controller provides integrated control, supervision, data logging, alarming, scheduling and network management. It streams data and rich graphical displays to a standard Web browser via an Ethernet or wireless LAN, or remotely over the Internet. The licensing model for the QHUNTER controller is simplified and features standard drivers along with optional IO and field bus expansion modules for ultimate flexibility and expandability. The QHUNTER controller operates with Niagara 4, the latest version of the Niagara Framework®, for optimum performance. In larger facilities, multibuilding applications and large-scale control system integrations, Niagara 4 Supervisors can be used with JACE 8000 controllers to aggregate information, including real-time data, history and alarms, to create a single, unified application.
