System Architecture

A layered, open, and distributed architecture designed to ensure reliability, scalability, and long-term serviceability across hospitality and commercial projects.

Architectural Philosophy

Terramatic systems are built around a modular and distributed architecture. Intelligence is placed close to the field devices, reducing dependency on centralized servers and ensuring continued operation under all conditions.

Distributed Intelligence

Local controllers execute automation logic independently at room, zone, or floor level.

Layered Design

Clear separation between field devices, controllers, and supervisory layers.

Open Standards

Use of industry-standard protocols to ensure interoperability.

System Layers

The architecture is organized into clearly defined layers, simplifying design, commissioning, and long-term maintenance.

Field Layer

Sensors, switches, actuators, lighting drivers, and HVAC interfaces.

Control Layer

Room, zone, and central controllers executing automation logic.

Supervisory Layer

Monitoring, visualization, scheduling, and system-wide coordination.

Communication & Integration

Open Protocols

DALI, RS-485, Modbus, Ethernet, and API-based communication.

Interoperability

Seamless integration with BMS, PMS, meters, and third-party systems.

Network Resilience

Continued local operation during network or server outages.

Designed for Long-Term Operation

Scalability

Supports expansion from single zones to multi-building deployments.

Serviceability

Clear diagnostics, modular components, and maintainable system design.

Lifecycle Stability

Backward compatibility and long-term platform support.
