Hunter ACC and ACC2

The Hunter ACC & ACC2 protocol can be used to connect to suitably enabled Hunter Industries controllers such as the ACC99 Irrigation Controller. The Driver can read and write data, change settings and issue commands to the irrigation system.

OPC UA

The OPC UA protocol can be used to integrate OPC UA enabled devices and Networks with other protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, DNP3 etc. The Driver can fully integrate OPC UA devices into BAS and other devicves into OPC UA Systems.

Data Clients (aka Data Loggers)

A Data Client (also data logger, Datalogger or data recorder) is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to other factors and provides this data for varying uses. Data Clients read data from field Devices and use any or all of the following features.

Report: Display current values and status.
Trend: Display recent readings on a rendered chart. The number of samples and other parameters are configurable.
Log: Timestamp data and append to log files on a FIFO basis.
Archive: Append Real-time data to archive files which are zipped to save space. Many Configurable parameters.
Serve tp Web: Use JSON, HTTP to provide data-push services. Data can be pushed from site to the cloud and used in data visualization software.
Serve to Enterprise: Use XML and other enterprise protocols.
Provide Visualization: Use complex web-based GUI to animate objects with live data and create analytical charts.

Chipkin provides both Hardware versions and soft versions of our Data Loggers. Our software Data Loggers runs on any compatible version of windows. This means you can select your own computers of any format to run them on or you can run them on a server. Interested? CONTACT US

BACnet Stack

Chipkin's BACnet Stack (CAS BACnet Stack) is an application layer BACnet library for embedded systems and application development. The BACnet Stack can function both as a server (Field Device, etc…) or as a client (HMI, etc…)

The BACnet Stack is a transport layer independent library, making it easy to use with any transport layer such as MSTP, IP, Ethernet and even PTP and ARCnet. By giving you control of the transport layer, you can optimize bandwidth and performance by exploiting resources at your disposal such as multi-threading and multiple simultaneous connections.

The CAS BACnet Stack can save man-years of development when your company needs to add BACnet to their products. Interested on the BACnet Stack? Read More!
