INTRODUCION
 BMS is a computer based control system installed in every building.
 To monitor mechanical and electrical equipment.
 Consists of software and hardware.
 Software program configured in a hierarchy, comprises protocols like C-Bus
and Profi-Bus.
 Supports internet protocols and open standards such as DeviceNet, SOAP,
XML, BAC net, Lon WORKS and Mod-bus.
CHARACTERISTICS
 BMS are most commonly implemented in large projects with extensive
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. 
 Systems linked to a BMS typically represent 40% of a building's energy
usage; if lighting is included, this number approaches 70%.
 Improper installation causes malfunction of the system and loss of energy.
 The four basic functions of a central, computer-controlled BMS are:
 Controlling
 Monitoring
 Optimizing
 Reporting
PROTOCOLS & OPEN STANDARDS
 DeviceNet
•  Network system used in the automation industry to interconnect control devices for data exchange.

 SOAP
•  Exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer networks.

 XML
• Defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

 BAC net
•  Communication protocol for building automation and control networks.

 Lon WORKS
•  A networking platform specifically created to address the needs of control applications.

 Modbus
•  A serial communications protocol for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
BACnet(building automation and control networks)
 BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control
systems for applications such as HVAC, Light control system, Access control system etc.
 Provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange
information, regardless of the particular building service they perform.
 Overview of this protocol is that many services that are provided or installed can
communicate between building devices.
 Services are used for device and object discovery.
 Defines a number of Objects that are acted upon by the services.
 Objects include Analog Input, Analog Output, Analog Value, Binary Input, Binary
Output, Binary Value, Multi-State Input, Multi-State Output, Calendar, Event-
Enrollment, File, Notification-Class, Group, Loop, Program, Schedule, Command, and
Device.
LonWORKS(Local operation network)
 Lon WORKS is a network platform specifically created to address the needs of control
applications.
 Platform is created by Echjelon corporation for networking devices over media such
as twisted pair, power lines, fiber optics and RF.
 Two physical layer signaling technologies are used
1)Twisted pair-free topology
2)power line carrier
 The two-wire layer operates at 78 kbit/s, while the power line achieves either 5.4 or
3.6 kbit/s, depending on frequency.
  LonWorks platform-based control applications are being implemented with some
sort of IP integration, and accomplished with the web services and IP routing
products.
BUILDING AUTOMATION
 The advanced functionality provided by the control system of a building.
 The control system is a computerized, intelligent network of electronic
devices designed to monitor and control the mechanical, electronics, and
lighting systems in a building.

 Figure depicts the whole network

which is installed in a building.
BUILDING AUTOMATION
 Topology
•  Building automation networks consist of a primary and secondary bus which connect high-level
controllers with lower-level controllers, input/output devices and a user interface.
• Protocols such as Lonworks, Bacnet, ASHRAE, ZigBee.
• Inputs and outputs are either analog or digital

 Infrastructure
• Controller
• Occupancy
• Lighting
• Air handlers
• Central plant
• Alarms and security
LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM
 An intelligent network based lighting control solution that incorporates communication between
various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central
computing devices.
 Lighting controls
• Stand-alone control of the lighting within a space, may include occupancy sensors, relays,
photocells, touch screens
 Automated Control
• Chronological time (time of day)
• Astronomical time (sunrise/sunset)
• Occupancy using occupancy sensors
• Daylight availability using photocells
• Alarm conditions
• Program logic (combination of events)
MAINTENANCE & APPLICATIONS
 Since the system is computerized, it is easy to maintain and regulate or control.
 Installation is very complex and cost effective.
 Ease of information availability problem.
 Computerized maintenance scheduling.
 Effective use of maintenance staff.
 Early detection of problems.
 More satisfied occupants.
 System integration.
 Energy saving.
