ZAcore - Control Platform
One Platform. Full Control. Highly scalable to meet future requirements.
In many fan-related applications, the overall system can quickly become complex and difficult to manage. Different standalone components such as controllers and gateways, numerous interfaces, and a lack of system continuity significantly increase the complexity of integration, operation, and future expansion. The result: You lose transparency. System states become difficult to track, alarms are harder to interpret, and coordination efforts increase. This leads to higher engineering effort, more complex commissioning, and unnecessarily high costs throughout the entire lifecycle.
This is exactly where ZAcore comes in: As a central control platform , ZAcore has been specifically developed for fan applications and brings together all relevant functions within a consistent system architecture.
Control, closed-loop regulation, condition monitoring, communication, and gateway functions are seamlessly integrated into a single platform instead of being distributed across multiple individual components.
With ZAcore, your fan becomes part of a clearly structured, end-to-end system.
You can significantly reduce complexity, maintain full visibility and control at all times, and commission your application faster and with greater confidence.
The result: Less effort, greater operational reliability, and a solution that remains fully under your control.
1. Integrated Communication & Gateway Function
ZAcore integrates fans and field devices of various types and from different manufacturers into building and IT systems in parallel via BACnet and Modbus. Existing infrastructure is retained, and modernization takes place gradually without disrupting system operations.
2. Flexible Automation on a Common Platform
From simple speed control to complex, application-specific control logic: ZAcore supports various levels of automation within the same system architecture—without requiring changes to the underlying system design.
3. Centralized Data Availability & Monitoring
Operational and status data are available in a structured format on an ongoing basis and can be viewed centrally via a web-based user interface, as well as optionally through cloud services. This creates transparency, which serves as the foundation for efficient operation, proactive service, and data-driven optimization.
More Efficiency, Less Effort – The Digital Value for Your Fan Operation
ZAcore supports you throughout the entire lifecycle of your fans, from commissioning and daily operation to data-driven optimization. Save time and costs, increase operational reliability, and create the foundation for long-term efficiency and digital services.
SETUP
Get productive faster from day one
Fans are integrated into the IT network in a structured manner and managed centrally. Individual fans as well as complete fan arrays can be specifically controlled and regulated, ensuring transparency and control right from the start.
Your benefits:
- Significantly reduced commissioning times
- Less manual effort and lower risk of errors
- High transparency and reliability from day one
SERVICE
Prevent issues instead of reacting to them
During operation, relevant parameters are available centrally and can be accessed independently of location. Clear alarm structures and push notifications provide early indication of deviations and support targeted intervention.
Your benefits:
- Supports proactive fault management
- Reduced on-site service visits
- Potential to reduce service and operating costs
ANALYSE
Turn data into knowledge
Long-term and trend data provide a solid foundation for evaluating system performance. Optimization potential becomes visible, corrective actions become predictable, and new digital services become possible.
Your benefits:
- Well-founded, data-driven decisions instead of guesswork
- Improved efficiency and system performance
- A future-ready foundation for additional digital applications
Scalability and Modular Architecture
The Right ZAcore Variant for Every Application
Based on this modular platform concept, ZAcore is available in clearly defined variants, each tailored to specific requirements and application scenarios. The entry point to the platform is ZAcore Fan Gateway. All functions included in Fan Gateway are an integral part of the higher-level Fan Control and Open Control variants, which extend the functionality with additional capabilities.
Fan gateway
Gateway & Monitoring
Designed for:
Gateway & Communication – Protocol translation between systems (e.g. Modbus ↔ BACnet)
Transparency & Access – Local and remote access to all operating and status data, including cloud connectivity
Fan Control – Start/stop commands and simple setpoint control (e.g. speed)
