At Optergy, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a commitment. We’re proud to spotlight two powerful edge controllers that are revolutionizing how BMS projects are deployed: the Optergy P864 and the Optergy P442. Whether you’re managing large central plant systems or fine-tuning small zone control with VAVs and FCUs, we have the right solution for you.

Optergy P864 – Built for Performance and Flexibility

The Optergy P864 fully scales any BMS project—from small VAVs to large chiller plants. It is our most versatile controller, delivering advanced capabilities for comprehensive building optimization. Ideal for:

• Central Plants
• Large Built-Up & Packaged AHUs
• Chilled Beams & Induction Units
• Fan Coil Units
• Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems

Key Benefits

• Powerful Processing: Quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB flash for reliable high-speed control.
• Modular Expansion: Supports up to 7 Optergy 864e modules, scaling projects to 144 hardware points.
• Browser-Based Programming: No special tools or licenses required; web-based with built-in SSL encryption.
• REST API Support: Secure integration with third-party systems.
• Airflow Sensing: AFS-864 sensor with high accuracy, no hysteresis, long-term stability, and field-replaceable; mass flow up to ±500 Pa.

Optergy P442 – Smart Simplicity for VAV & FCU Projects

The P442 controller delivers cost-effective, scalable control for VAV and smaller FCU applications—ideal for high-density deployments where reliability and simplicity matter.

Ideal Applications

• Individual zone and room control
• Distributed VAV systems
• Compact BMS implementations

Key Features

• Compact Yet Capable: 4 universal inputs, 4 binary outputs, 2 analog outputs (12-bit resolution).
• Airflow Ready: Ships with field-replaceable Optergy AFS sensor—same high-quality airflow measurement as P864.
• Protocols Galore: BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus IP/RTU.
• Wireless Integration: Works with Optergy Air wireless gateways and sensors.
• Smart Logic: Latest DDC engine, programmable via desktop app—no licensing fees.

Coming Soon: Optergy Studio – Your Project’s New Best Friend

Optergy is introducing Optergy Studio, a free software tool designed to simplify VAV project setup using the P442.

• Open & Free: No license needed. Available to all customers and end users.
• Purpose-Built for P442: Configure, program, and commission VAV applications end-to-end.
• Future-Proofed: Will evolve into a full-service platform for deploying and managing entire BMS projects.

Simplified Maintenance with Removable Sensors

Both the P864 and P442 support field-replaceable airflow sensors. If a sensor is damaged or worn, it can be swapped without replacing the controller—saving time, cost, and reducing downtime.

Conclusion

Whether you’re building out a robust, scalable building automation system with the P864 or deploying a fleet of VAV controllers with the P442, Optergy has your solution. With Optergy Studio on the way, programming and commissioning will soon be faster, more flexible, and more accessible than ever. These edge products also pair seamlessly with the Optergy Air range—enabling even greater flexibility and wireless connectivity across your building projects.
