BacRouter
The Taco Comfort Solutions BacRouter is a multi-port BACnet router. This compact router is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician’s service tool.

GCE-8000 IOT Controller
The GCE-8000 is a compact, embedded Internet of Things (IoT) controller and server platform for connecting multiple and diverse devices and sub-systems. With Internet connectivity and web-serving capability, the GCE-8000 controller provides integrated control, supervision, data logging, alarming, scheduling, and network management. It streams data and rich graphical displays to a standard web browser via an Ethernet or wireless LAN, or remotely over the Internet.

Programmable Controller
Taco Clarity^3® FPC series controllers are designed to control building systems and HVAC equipment. The integrated alarming, scheduling and trending enable these BACnet Advanced Application Controllers to be powerful edge devices for the modern smart building ecosystem.

VAV Programmable Controller
Taco Clarity^3® series controller-actuators are designed to operate VAV (Variable Air Volume) terminal units. The integrated alarming, scheduling and trending enable these BACnet Advanced Application Controllers to be powerful edge devices for the modern smart building ecosystem.

Programmable Expansion Module
Taco Clarity^3® CLAR-EM-FPC series input/output expansion modules are designed for use with CLARFPC series controllers. Multiple EM-FPC’s can be connected to a controller via a CAN bus. Each EM-FPC supports up to eight inputs and eight outputs. For example, a CLAR-FPC with four connected EM-FPC’s could access up to (internal and external) 42 inputs and 40 outputs connected via terminal blocks.

NetSensors
Taco100/200 series NetSensors are wall-mounted digital space temperature sensors designed for use with Taco Clarity^3®series controllers.

ASC Controllers
Taco Clarity^3® ASC series controllers are designed to operate unitary and terminal equipment. The integrated alarming, scheduling and trending enable these BACnet Advanced Application Controllers to be powerful edge devices for the modern smart building ecosystem.
