ETA devices and controllers in a control panel.

ETA Line Overview
   BAPI’s Electronic Technician Assistant (ETA) products are a uniform line of interface and communication devices that compliment a DDC installation. They consolidate many of the components being used at present and provide a more complete picture of the system than a laptop computer alone.
   The ETA line offers a number of benefits including simplifying the task of wiring and troubleshooting the system, cutting down on control panel clutter and providing additional feedback to the facilities manager and technician.
   The ETA devices simplify wiring and troubleshooting by providing a screw terminal for each and every wire in the system – communications, sensing or control. All the screw terminals are pluggable making it easy to break the system into sections to quickly isolate a problem.
   The ETA devices cut down on control panel clutter because they plug into specially designed backplanes which distribute power through the mounting connectors, greatly reducing the number of wires in the panel. The backplanes are also powered by a single power supply and mount the ETA modules vertically to save space and allow straightforward access to displays, wiring connectors and switches.
   The ETA devices provide additional feedback because they are a practical and inexpensive way to pick up feedback signals which are ignored in many systems at present, such as non-critical alarm points or actuator feedback signals. Having convenient LED display of these signals at the control panel, or summarizing multiple feedback signals into a single input to the controller, provides a more complete picture of the system than a laptop computer alone, helping the facilties manager and technicians keep the system performing at it’s optimum level.
