Contemporary Controls designs and manufactures the system building blocks for networking, integrating and controlling automation processes where performance and reliability are important. Our products are built upon open technologies such as ARCNET®, BACnet®, CAN, Modbus®, Niagara Framework® and Sedona Framework™, and are typically found in building and industrial automation industries. Our customers are systems integrators, contractors and mechanical and controls OEMs seeking simple and reliable networking and control products from a dependable source. With headquarters based in the US, we have operations in the UK, Germany and China with self-manufacturing in the US and China.

CTRLink® – Ethernet for Automation consists of unmanaged and managed switches, media converters, wired and wireless IP routers. These products are designed for unattended operation in environments not conducive to office grade equipment. CTRLink overcomes the challenges that Ethernet presents to the automation professional by providing convenient mounting in control panels, Class 2 power wiring, and reliability. Our switches, media converters and IP routers adhere to IEEE 802.3 standards and more. Specialty regulatory needs are addressed in selected models. From simple plug-and-play operation to fully-managed switch functionality, there is a model to meet any need.

BASautomation™ – Building on BACnet provides solutions for both small and scalable building management. BACnet, an internationally recognized building automation standard, can take a system from the field level to the Internet. BACnet routers link IP networks to BACnet MS/TP. Gateways adapt other protocols such as Modbus to BACnet. BACnet/IP controllers – Powered by Sedona Framework or Niagara Framework – do the work. Once on Ethernet, the CTRLink family – with its collection of managed and unmanaged switches, media converters, wired and wireless IP routers – can complete the connectivity process.

With over 40 years in business, four locations around the world, and a reputation for technical support, Contemporary Controls is committed to making your automation projects successful.
