The Link works on top of your building management system as a supervisory controller.
The Link connects directly to your equipment: it reads data and adjusts setpoints and operating modes.
Yes, no problem. The Link can be configured to connect to the internet over wired Ethernet instead of its built-in 4G.
Yes. The Link falls back to local control, so your installation keeps running. While the connection is down, you will not see the latest data in the Integer platform.
No. With its built-in 4G module, the Link has its own connection to the Integer platform, separate from your IT network.
Your BMS and components keep their own control and safety logic, so the installation simply carries on as it did before.
