Trend

Trend was founded in 1980, it's first controller, the IQ150 was the first ever truly intelligent building services controller, both programmable and networkable. This technology and system architecture was the proving ground for many systems we see today and has been universally adopted.

In 1994 Trend released the IQ200 series of controllers and four years later we saw the release of the successfull IQL LonWorks based terminal unit controller. Trend's latest controller range was released in 2003 and has functionalities such as Ethernet connectivity, a built-in web server and modular design, the IQ3 series. Trend have always designed for backward compatibility thus every controller developed since the first IQ100 series is able to communicate and interact with every controller range preceeding it, something not all manufacturers can claim..
