Applications or Application Requirements
The center of the Touch4 system is the System
Controller (HTC), which communicates with Johnson
Controls and third-party products to enable office
automation and interaction of individual devices.
The Touch4 system is made of a combination of
Johnson Controls or third-party devices that are
controllable using BACNET, TCP/IP, Infrared (IR), RS
232, contacts, relays, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.
The Touch system provides a customizable navigation
device user interface. It has the ability to easily tie all
the devices to the system to easily program
interactions between devices on the system.
On the Touch4 system, you set up the system using
Composer software that resides on the PC. The PC
communicates to the System Controller using a Local
Area Network (TCP/IP). You need to use the Composer
software to define locations, devices, and the
programming interaction between the controllable
system devices on the Touch4 system.
When you arrive on-site, you need to establish a
network connection using your normal method, such as
WiFi (wireless) or Ethernet (Category 5 cable).
You need to place the System Controller at a location
where there is an Ethernet port available to the Local
Area Network, such as a direct connection to the
router, switch, or Ethernet port on the wall.
