Distributed processing is carried out to the fullest extent possible in the Info-Scan 2000 architecture. While decreasing the amount of network traffic and speeding operator functions, it also permits critical processes to continue operation autonomously should the network communications be disrupted. Processes are implemented at the lowest level processors to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the control and monitoring sequences. All field panels are equipped with processors that perform input scanning, control outputs and network communications. All panels are capable of operating in a stand-alone mode indefinitely should a catastrophic failure up-line occur.

MicroScan Direct Digital Controls (DDC) are at the heart of the remote panels operation, which also performs such duties as Time-of-day scheduling, power demand management and optimized start/stop among others.

MicroScan electronic controllers can be used for applications such as heat pumps, AHUs, VAV boxes, Fancoil units, and other application specific controls (ASCs). Interfaces are also available for other manufacturers' devices. See architecture diagram below for supported protocols.
