SIE3015 Automation and Control in Building

EXPERIMENT 1 : BMS COMPONENTS AND DDC CONFIGURATION

OBJECTIVES

1. Introduction to the basic architecture of integrated Building Management Systems

(BMS)
2. DDC Configuration and Programming

Upon completion of the experiment, students should be able to:

1. Understand the basic concepts of BMS and the operation of Direct Digital Controller
(DDC).
2. Configure and program the DDC for the given applications or control strategies.

EQUIPMENT

1. TAC XENTA Master Controller, TAC XENTA I/O Modules (ending with A meaning
providing Analogue/Universal input channels), Mimic panel and I/O Console.
2. PC preloaded with TAC Vista Server/Workstation and Menta DDC Programming tool.

INTRODUCTION TO BMS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Operator Workstation (Head End)

- Operator window to systems (controlled and monitored systems/ groups)
- Controlling and monitoring objects
- History, Trend, Totalisation, Time scheduling and Operation planning

Local Area Network (LAN)

- Non proprietary real- time data transmission and receiving.

PC Lon Talk Adapter (PCLTA)

- Remote processing unit which is peer to OWS and communicates through DDC Network.
- provide network expandability and total facility management

Local Operating Network (LON)

- Links controllers and interfaces to the PCLTA in daisy chain
- Carries all communication between LONWORKS devices (DDCs)

Direct Digital Controllers (DDCs)

- Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning Controls and customised applications
- Standalone / networkable as LONWORKS devices

2.0. DDC CONFIGURATION (TAC XENTA 401 Master Controller) PROCEDURE

2.1 To Configure the Xenta 403 Controller with Xenta 421A and Xenta 451A(I/O
expansion) modules.

Notes: 1 no XENTA 302 Master Controller is connected to 1 no Xenta 421A and Xenta
451A via LON, expanded by 2 I/O modules: Xenta 421A (4 Universal Inputs and
5 Digital Outputs); Xenta 451A (4 Universal Inputs and 2 Analog Outputs).

2.2 Define the Controllers for Programming: (press F5 many times)

Log in to the workstation using user name –

1. Launch the MENTA Programming Tool on the desktop. (Alternatively, click Start>All
Programs>Schneider Electric>TAC Tools 5.1.7>Menta)
2. From the Menu select OPTIONS>DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS.
3. In the TYPE field, select the Master DDC to be programmed (Xenta 302).
4. Set the System and Hardware Versions (3.7 and 2) and click OK button to continue.
5. In the I/O EXPANSION Table add desired IO modules (421A, 451A).
6. Workspace is now ready for programming.

3.0. DDC CONTROL APPLICATION

 Exercise 1.1: Logic for single input and on/off control

When the alarm is received (DI1), turn on the Buzzer (DO1). {When DI-1 is true, DO-1 will be
activated.}

Figure 2: Control Flow Diagram and Truth table

 Assign the Input / Output Points as follows:

I/O points Type No. I/O module or Controller

Trip Alarm => DI 1 M1(411),
Buzzer => DO 1 M2(421A),

 Exercise 1.2: Logic for single input multi-output on/off control

When the alarm is received (DI1), turn on the Buzzer (DO1) and Alert flashing light (DO2)
simultaneously. {When DI-1 is true, both DO-1 and DO-2 will be activated simultaneously.}

Trip Alarm => DI 1 M1(411),
Buzzer => DO 1 M2(421A),)
Light => DO 2 M2(421A),

 Exercise 1.3: Control Logic for multi inputs and single output.

When the pump is at "BMS" or "Auto" mode (DI-2) and it is also a duty pump (DI-3), then turn
on the pump (DO-5) when required. {When both DI-2 and DI-3 are true, DO-5 will be
activated.}

Figure 4: Control Flow Diagram and Truth table

 Assign the Input / Output Points as follows:

BMS/Manual Switch => DI 2 M1(411), MOD 8 X2, (“BMS / Auto” = 1)

Duty/Standby Switch => DI 3 M1(411), MOD 8 X3, (“Duty mode” = 1)
Pump Command => DO 5 M2(421A), MOD 1 K3 (CH-2 STATUS)

 Exercise 1.4: Control Logic for multi inputs and single output.

When either pump 1 trip alarm (DI-4) or pump 2 trip alarm (DI-5) comes in, Standby Pump will
take over the duty (DO-6). {When either DI-4 or DI-5 is true, DO-6 will be activated.}

Pump 2 Trip Alarm => DI5 M1(411), MOD 8 X5, ( “Trip alm “= 1)
Standby Pump Command => DO6 M2(421A), MOD 1 K4 (CH-2 TRIP)

 Exercise 1.5: Control Logic for multi inputs and single output.

When the condition [(DI-2 AND DI-3) AND (DI-4 OR DI-5)] is true, and DO-7 will turn on.

4.0. SEQUENCER CONTROL APPLICATION

 Exercise 1.6:

In a pharmaceutical factory, system starts command a signal to start up pump 1 first. After
running pump 1 for 5 sec, then start pump 2. After running pump 2 for 5 sec, then start pump 3.

 Exercise 1.7:

In a pharmaceutical factory, system starts command a signal to start up pump 1 first. After
running pump 1 for 5 sec, then start pump 2. After running pump 2 for 5 sec, then start pump 3.
Any of the running pumps trips out, start stand-by pump 4 with 3 sec delay.
