Data sheets of Alertons equipment are not clear and many important
data are not shown. Data sheets of Siemens equipment are very clear and many
important data are clearly shown, based on that the DDC
performance is must better and higher class than DDC from Alerton.
Dont support Adaptive Control Algorithm DDC Built in Adaptive Control , an auto-adjusting closed
loop control algorithm. Adaptive Control provides more
efficient, adaptive, robust, fast, and stable control than
the traditional PID control algorithm. It is superior in
terms of response time, holding steady state, and
minimizing error, oscillations, and actuator repositioning.
(10% energy saving only with this Adaptive control
