EGC's ControNet software offers a solution for central control and monitoring through distributed networking of our environmental chambers.
ControlNet software and the C5 controller interface represent the latest in growth chamber and controlled temperature room environmental control technology from Environmental Growth Chambers (EGC). Designed to run under Windows operating systems, ControlNet offers the most comprehensive solution for distributed control, data collection, and reporting available in the field. It will operate with our current TC2 microcontroller and C5 computer controls.

Installations of two or more chambers should consider the advantages of a central control and monitoring system. Centralized control aids the site administrator by controlling access to chamber programming and data, while also providing a central location for site monitoring. Our ControlNet software gives the researcher:
* Ability to network any number of C5 controls via an ethernet network
* Communicate with multiple workgroups of TC2 controllers with up to 32 units each
* Full centralized programming and download support to individual chamber controllers
* Real time viewing of process and setpoint data from any unit in the network
* Centralized collection, logging, and reporting of process data from all chambers
* On screen display of alarm conditions from any chamber on the network
* Full programming and reconfiguration from central computer
* Capability to interface with other I/O boards for additional data collection
* Facility for remote monitoring and diagnostics of connected devices
* Multi-level password control with complete flexibility to configure user group access
Collecting data at a central location adds redundancy to the local storage of chamber histories, as well as eliminating the need for, and the expense of, a chart recorder at each chamber. It also provides for fail safe performance since individual controllers maintain chamber conditions in the event of a network failure. For safety, the system also provides for phased restart of all units after a power outage.
