The PT-181 is a portable training unit specifically designed for the DDC (Direct Digital Controls) industry. It is packaged with curriculum that is both embedded in the Trainer and contained in a written workbook resulting in a highly interactive student – trainer experience. The PT-181 incorporates some of the most popular DDC devices currently in use. The web-enabled DDC controller allows the student to access the Trainer using a standard web browser and HTML5 or JAVA WebStart®. All of the DDC devices are interfaced with the main controller via hardwired or network connections. BACnet IP (Ethernet) and MS/TP (RS485 serial) networks are utilized allowing the student to gain exposure to the most popular BAS networks in use. The PT-181s can be operated stand alone or easily networked together for use in a learning center environment. Onboard temperature, CO2, humidity, and motion sensors are included. Graphical object oriented programming is presented using the Niagara N4 Framework®

Thursday May 15, 2025..Good morning, Matt, Thank you very much for your excellent BAS Training Videos. I've been an HVAC Technician since May of 1989. The main focus of my Career has been hands on mechanical/electrical troubleshooting repairs and pm's. I just recently started to change my focus to HVAC/R and Security Controls, watching allot of free training Videos and will be attending Tridium Niagara N4 Certification online training hopefully next month. In all honesty I've watched your first 7 free training Videos and they have been the very best. You're an Excellent Teacher. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Sincerely, Bob from New Hampshire.

Hey man, I hope you read and answer my comment, I'm from Brazil and I work on site as an English/Portuguese Interpreter and translator for companies here in Brazil as a subcontractor with Wärtsilä and Man, (we are building three power plants now). Anyway, I find your videos when looking for videos on Automation so I can improve my vocab in this area and provide a better service. I have to say thank you very much for sharing these videos, it has been so helpful to me. God bless you.
