What is BMS ?

Provides a single sea for Monitoring and

Control of various parameters in a
building for all utilities, integration with
Fire & life safety systems, to offer
precision control, automation, safety
lockouts, energy savings and advanced
information management systems to
enable take corrective actions pre and
post the events

How do we achieve this ?

Place intelligent Systems at various locations
in a building
Capture important and critical parameters
Measure and gather field data through
intelligent field devices and sensors etc.,
Process the applications through DDC
technology
Analyze current performance and take
corrective actions

Why do we need BMS ?

Every piece of equipment in a building today
is highly intelligent
Complex algorithms to be processed
Multiple buildings and a single seat of access
Energy Costs are increasing
Occupants want faster, quality and timely
response
Building functions keep changing
Buildings are an asset to the owner
Safer and healthier place for occupants

What is a typical application in BMS?

HVAC

Monitor and control high side equipment including chiller through

integration on Modbus /Bacnet for trending of parameters
Monitoring and control of Pumps and other associated equipment
for High side
Monitoring and control of AHUs, VFDs, IAQ parameters
Monitoring of CO levels in basement
Integration

server
room/switch/hub/IDF rooms

Control Loop

The process of controlling an HVAC

system involves three steps. These
steps include first measuring data,
then processing the data with other
information and finally causing a
control action. These three functions
make up what is known as a control
loop
achieved through Direct Digital
Controllers

PROTOCOLS used in BMS

BACnet
ModBus
LonWorks

Gateway
A device that translates one set of
communication rules to another. It
connects networks that use different
protocols, allowing them to pass data to
each other. A gateway is sometimes called
an integrator or bridge.

Integration
Combines several functional systems into
one (for example: security, metering,
lighting, HVAC, and fire-alarm systems).
Signals from these systems travel over the
same digital network, and they can be
controlled from the same workstation
using uniform commands and graphics.
