Reliable Controls has released an updated version of its popular MACH-ProView LCD controller.
The MACH-ProView LCD is a freely programmable BACnet building controller and BACnet operator display.
According to Reliable Controls, it provides attractive, customisable, high-resolution graphical interfaces that facility managers can use to access, monitor and control the comfort and energy performance of a space.
“In spring 2021, in the midst of launching an entirely new generation of hardware, Reliable Controls made a nimble pivot to redesign the MACH-ProView LCD after learning one of the processors it depended on was no longer available,” says the company. “Redesigning the MACH-ProView LCD gave the company an opportunity to improve controller performance in several meaningful ways, with a new processor, new memory, and other revisions.”
Reliable Controls says the start-up time is now almost half that of the previous version of the controller. Users can switch themes 10 times faster, and EQUIPMENTview – a customisable screen view that lets users display and access objects on the LCD – performs more efficiently.
Many Reliable Controls team members played a critical role in overcoming supply chain challenges and making the redesign of the MACH-ProView LCD a success, says James Puritch, Vice President of R&D at Reliable Controls.
“I am very proud of the hardware, firmware, and software teams’ ability to pivot projects and take on huge uncertainty to deliver a revised product that is even better than before – in as short a time as possible,” says Puritch. “Our plan was made possible due only to the tireless efforts of our purchasing team to secure parts and build a new product pipeline.”
Around the same time in 2021, global supply chain issues also forced a halt in the manufacturing of non-LCD models of the MACH-ProView. All six models of the controller are now available for order through the company’s global network of factory-certified authorised dealers.
“The MACH-ProView empowers people to interact with their space in a simple, seamless, unique way,” says Levi Tully, Executive President of Sales at Reliable Controls. “When supply chain and raw material constraints disrupted our ability to produce it, we knew we could not stand by and wait for things to return to normal.
“I could not be prouder of the tremendous effort our team devoted to doing whatever it took to get that power and experience back in the hands of users worldwide. A truly outstanding effort.”
