Upgrade your Satchwell system with minimal disruption, less downtime, and without changing the wider infrastructure. 

Across the UK and Europe, many buildings continue to operate Satchwell BAS2000, BAS2800 and Sigma systems within established control panel environments. 

A controller-level upgrade provides a structured way to modernise these systems – while maintaining ongoing building operations. 

Upgrade the Controller, Not the Entire System 

In many installations, Satchwell controllers are housed within control panels connected to sensors, actuators and field devices. 

Much of this infrastructure remains fully operational. 

A controller upgrade allows you to modernise system performance while keeping: 

• Existing wiring  

• Sensors and actuators  

• Control panel structure  

The upgrade is focused – replacing the controller while retaining the surrounding system. Tridium Niagara integration
 

Maintain Operations During Upgrade 

Controller-level upgrades can be carried out while maintaining ongoing building operations. 

By working within the existing control panel, upgrades can be delivered in a controlled manner – helping to minimise disruption and reduce downtime during implementation. 

This allows buildings to continue operating while systems are modernised. 

Enable Communication with Modern Systems 

A key outcome of a Satchwell controller upgrade is enabling communication with modern building platforms. 

Retrofit interface solutions allow legacy systems to connect using protocols such as Modbus, creating a link between existing control panels and connected building environments. 

Integrate with Modern Platforms 

Once communication is established, upgraded systems can be integrated into platforms like Tridium Niagara (JACE / IONA). 

This enables: 

• Centralised system visibility  

• Improved control across building services  

• Greater flexibility for future integration  

All while maintaining the existing infrastructure. 

A Structured, Practical Upgrade Path 

A controller upgrade provides a controlled and structured approach to modernisation. 

Rather than replacing everything, it allows systems to evolve by upgrading the control layer while keeping what already works. 

This approach helps organisations:  

• Extend system life  

• Reduce complexity during upgrades  

• Prepare for future building requirements  

Conclusion: Upgrade What Matters 

Satchwell BAS2000, BAS2800 and Sigma systems continue to support building operations across many facilities. 

A controller-level upgrade provides a practical next step – enabling modern communication, integration and performance without changing the wider system.
