Building automation system manufacturer Computrols has added a BTL Certification and the ability to route proprietary protocols as BACnet IP points as add-on options to an already feature-rich LX Controller.

The LX provides installers and users supreme flexibility with its software-programmable universal I/O and unique two-piece board design. This parent-level controller supports state-of-the-art TLS (Transport Layer Security) and a variety of both open and proprietary communication protocols.


Manufacturers are required to successfully test their products with a Recognized BACnet Testing Organization (RBTO) and maintain a Product Listing in order to use the BTL Mark. These organizations conduct rigorous independent testing to confirm that products correctly implement a specified set of BACnet features. Computrols is thrilled to have met all requirements with its 8-LX, 16-LX, 32-LX, and 64-LX Controllers.

Computrols CEO, Drew Mire stated, “We are very pleased to have the LX Controller carry the BTL Certification. The BACnet protocol has become an undeniable standard in our industry, and we are excited to have this validation for both our customers and distribution partners.”
