With the AspectFT control engine you are not limited to just one solution. As the Facilitating Technology (FT), this software platform is based upon open-standards used within multiple industries. Designed to perform control sequences and building management routines from an array of device platforms, AspectFT can communicate utilizing drivers such as BACnet^®, MODbus^®, and PUP. Through varying aspects of the software, users can scale their projects based on size as well as hardware, and still receive the level of sophistication and control they expect.

Aspect also utilizes a full Java^®-based foundation, providing both stability and reliability for logic and application projects designed within Aspect Studio, an integrated development environment for AspectFT- based products. With Java there is no need for special programming classes from the manufacturer to learn a proprietary programming language. For complex situations that require more than what AspectFT offers, users can utilize JavaScript^™ to create custom sequences. JavaScript is a common programming language taught at a variety of learning facilities.

	AspectFT : This is the control engine found on the Matrix responsible for running control sequences and building management routines. It is the Facilitating Technology.	What's Your Aspect?
	AspectFT Facility : Designed with the larger project in mind, this version comes on its own server and allows users the ability to communicate with multiple Matrix area controllers.
	AspectFT Enterprise : With integration becoming an important factor in building management, this version allows the installer the ability to choose the hardware utilized for running AspectFT with multiple Matrix area controllers.
	Aspect Studio : Through this intuitive block-based programming software, users create logic based programming projects as well as graphical representations to deploy via Ethernet to a Matrix or other hardware device.
