TREND CONTROL Systems is launching IQ 5, the latest in its range of building controllers to support the digitisation of new and existing buildings.

Designed with the emerging modern built environment in mind, Trend’s IQ5 controller enables secure, real-time data communication using deterministic Ethernet technology, robust ISA-grade security and support for up to 300 I/O points. This means that, without authentication, there is no ability to see or manipulate the data within the controllers or IO modules, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical building control data.
IQ5 controllers use a new I/O bus technology based on T1L Ethernet, which enables high data transfer speeds of up to 10 Mbps across long distances. The technology also facilitates low-latency asynchronous communication over cable lengths up to 300m, all with end-to-end data encryption.
In addition, the IQ5 offers a hierarchical control functionality, ensuring that communication with critical equipment is prioritised. Utilising a system architecture which has a high speed IO Bus gives the ability to drive the IOT devices to the edge with reliable and fast connectivity.
