Looking for a Great BAS Automation Controls Training?
Contemporary Controls has you covered with a two day hands on class April 7 & 8!
Contemporary Controls will be hosting a two-day BASautomation training session at the College of DuPage (COD) in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, April 7 and 8, 2020. The training will focus on what you need to know to apply BASautomation in real-world applications. Our goal is to help you “Build on BACnet” for your building automation and energy management systems. The hands-on training will include:
• An introduction to BACnet networked DDC Controllers.
• The use of BASview supervisors to provide a visual interface to your process.
• Routers and their ability to route messages between BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet, and BACnet MS/TP networks
• Gateways, which can provide an interface to “foreign” devices (such as a Modbus) and allow them to appear as part of the network.
• Interfacing to Input/output devices such as sensors, switches, motors, dampers, etc.
• Creating applications using wire sheets and powerful drag-and-drop function blocks.
• How to obtain secure remote access to your job site using Virtual Private Networking (VPN).
The training at COD will take place in the state-of-the-art HVACR lab, located in the Technical Education Center (TEC) on the college campus and led by an industry expert in DDC sequence of operation programming, mechanical HVACR equipment, and BACnet integration. In addition, Contemporary Controls staff will be present during the sessions to
answer any technical and product questions as well as assist students in understanding core concepts of the training topics. COD is conveniently located in DuPage County, one
of the collar counties of the Chicago metropolitan area. It is a short ride from both Midway and O’Hare airports, with numerous hotel and dining options nearby.
More information on the training and registration will be coming on our website shortly but mark your calendar now. Please note that seating for these sessions is limited. For additional information, or to reserve a seat contact us:

Episode 350 ControlTalk NOW features Ken Sinclair’s Automated Buildings February, 2020 Editorial Theme: “Born Again Connected”
"It’s an understanding that’s completely changed my life, about how our thinking is separate from who we truly are. We are not our thoughts. Nope, quite the opposite. We have a constant stream of thoughts meandering through our minds. That’s part of being human. However, we get to choose which of those to engage with." Ken Sinclair

Ken Sinclair’s Automated Buildings February, 2020 Editorial Theme: “Born Again Connected”
"Open" Your Mind, Get Out of Your Head
In his February edition of Automated Buildings, Ken Aristotle Sinclair introduces (possibly, for the first time) metaphysics into the world of Building Automation: “I struggle daily with how old would I be if I did not know the day I was born? Perception of our reality is everything we need, a method to disconnect from all that we perceive and imagine ourselves “Born Again Connected.” Great stuff! Read all of it!
We all are struggling with what the word “Open” truly means. We keep approaching the problem with a history of biases of what it has not been in the past. Step away from your hectic life. Strive to diversify, step out of your comfort zone. open your mind, unhinge your biases, get out of your head.
