What the Automated Logic Platform Actually Is

Automated Logic builds controllers and the WebCTRL front-end natively around BACnet, the open building-automation standard. That architecture is why it suits commercial offices that expect to change, expand and integrate over decades rather than years.

Automated Logic Controllers
Native BACnet field controllers for fan coil units, VAV boxes and central plant. They communicate over open-protocol BACnet, so future equipment and meters can join the network without proprietary gateways in between.
WebCTRL Front-End
Automated Logic's browser-based supervisor. Graphics, schedules, alarms and trend logs live here — it is what your facilities team uses daily, so its configuration matters as much as the controllers beneath it.
Open Protocol, Documented Exit Options
Because everything runs on BACnet — an ASHRAE standard — an Automated Logic system is not tied to one manufacturer's continued permission for every future change. Documentation makes that real: we hand over sequences, graphics and as-built points so future work starts from facts rather than guesswork.

What Alpha Controls Does with Automated Logic Systems

BACnet/IP backbone design, addressing and commissioning
FCU, VAV and environmental plant control strategies
Extensions and modifications to existing Automated Logic systems
Sontay field device supply, installation and calibration
Metering integration — electrical, water and thermal trending
Smoke and fire damper monitoring interfaces (enable/disable and fault reporting)
Third-party BACnet integration
Fault diagnosis on inherited Automated Logic installations
Software commissioning and O&M handover documentation

Where Our Responsibility Starts and Stops

We install, program and commission the controls system, and we make your plant visible and controllable from the front-end. The mechanical maintenance of that plant normally stays with your mechanical contractor, and fire strategy logic stays with the fire system — the BMS provides the monitoring and enable/disable interfaces only.

Within that boundary, competence still matters. A BACnet network commissioned carelessly produces slow response, unlogged faults and zones that fight each other. Our commissioning is functional, not nominal: on the City of London programme referenced below, each zone was tested and witnessed before handover.

Kent Base, City of London Track Record

Our delivered Automated Logic installation is at 20 Gresham Street in the City of London: five floors, more than 250 commissioned FCU points, a full BACnet/IP backbone, Sontay field devices throughout and a metering network configured for trending — delivered over a three-month phased programme.

From Gravesend we reach Dartford, Bluewater, Rochester, Maidstone, Tonbridge, Canterbury and the rest of Kent without crossing London first. We install and commission across London, Kent and the South East; UK-wide projects are considered by arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Automated Logic Kent

Do you cover all of Kent for Automated Logic installations?

Yes. Alpha Controls is based in Gravesend, which puts us directly on the A2/M2 corridor with access to Dartford, Gravesend, Rochester, Maidstone, Canterbury and the wider county — plus Central London along the A2. Our delivered Automated Logic reference is a complete five-floor installation at 20 Gresham Street in the City of London.

Can you maintain or extend an existing Automated Logic system we've inherited?

Subject to survey, yes. BACnet's published standard means an existing installation can be assessed point-to-point by any competent contractor with the right tools and experience: diagnosing network faults, re-commissioning drifted sequences, adding zones or meters, and rebuilding front-end graphics where documentation has been lost. We always start with a survey of what actually exists, because inherited systems rarely match their original drawings.

Will an Automated Logic BMS work alongside our existing meters and sensors?

In most cases, yes. Any device that exposes standard BACnet objects can join the network — energy meters, sub-metering and third-party controllers included. Where existing sensors are hard-wired analogue rather than networked, we connect them through the controller's universal inputs using quality field devices; at 20 Gresham Street every sensor and transducer we installed was a Sontay unit.

What happens when an Automated Logic system in Kent needs a fault investigated?

We do not publish fixed response-time guarantees, and we would encourage caution around any contractor who does — attendance windows are set per contract. What we can state factually: the base in Gravesend keeps travel to most Kent sites short, urgent faults are prioritised, and diagnosis on a BACnet system usually starts at the network layer — devices that have dropped off, addressing conflicts, or a supervisor that has stopped polling. Once the cause is confirmed, we quote the fix before carrying it out.

Planning an Automated Logic Project in Kent?

New installation, extension of an existing system, or fault diagnosis on something you have inherited — talk to a contractor who has delivered the platform at scale.
