Software drivers to connect Tridium® Niagara® to other (legacy) brands of BMS and to add Niagara system functionality.

• A Niagara controller with a MaxLine driver, can replace a branded legacy controller without changing the network wiring and installed equipment.
• Different legacy systems can interconnect using a Tridium Niagara controller as the common interface.
• Drivers for advanced messaging, alarm functionality, interconnection with fire alarm systems and other special purposes are available, also Elite Dali lighting control driver and hardware.
• The drivers are written in Java and are fully scalable to tens of thousands of points at high data rates.
• The drivers work with all Niagara hardware and software controllers – JACE, Soft JACE, Web Supervisor (TCP drivers only), and the equivalents from OEM suppliers like Honeywell, Distech, etc, also Alerton controllers running Niagara4.
• MaxLine software drivers for Niagara4 and NiagaraAX install in the same way that any other driver installs on the Niagara system. The driver is added to the Niagara Java framework in the controller.

• add graphics, internet access, analytics, connectivity, remote access, security, and other Niagara advanced features to an existing installed network
• install multiple drivers to inter-connect different systems
• future-proof sites by connecting legacy installed systems to newer networks.
• continue to use existing installed plant and equipment during a phased modernization or update of a site, or several sites. Maintain connectivity and control of legacy systems during updating.
• Collect data and analytics from multiple sites or a campus with different installed systems.
• One JACE (or equivalent) controller can have multiple drivers installed to interconnect several systems.
