Topologies
Computrols’ topologies can help you to envision how all of the working parts of a BAS system fit together. Whether you have one 9 story building, three 12 story buildings, or a whole campus of buildings, we have a visual topology that will help you.
Note: the topologies are provided in .jpg and .vsd format. Right-click and save these files to your computer. The .vsd format requires Microsoft Visio if wish to edit. Alternately, you can use Visio Viewer in your Internet Explorer browser.
