Are your sequences state based? Is there a finite set of conditions that drives your control sequences? If not, you may be missing out on one of the most intuitive ways to write control sequences.
The ZIP with BACnet provides building management system (BMS) operators flexibility with economizer logic and control parameters now available over the buildings’ communication bus.
Last month, I started to explore when to use simple sequences and when to use complex sequences. Part of creating the correct sequence lies in the proper use of technology.
Should engineers create a complex sequence that utilizes freely programmable controllers or implement a simple sequence that utilizes the controls that are embedded within the equipment?
It’s the heating season here in North America and that means building operators and controls contractors will soon be scrambling to ensure their heating systems are working properly.
The control systems we use in commercial buildings today have evolved over the last 30 years to provide systems that are cost effective, and provide good performance.
Carrier introduced its new TruVu™ multi-purpose control (MPC) platform for monitoring and control of HVAC equipment. The control platform consists of a TruVu™ MPC processor, featuring built-in BACnet routing and integration capabilities, along with expansion modules that can be added to support up to 180 total input/output (I/O) points for a variety of HVAC applications.
Belimo Americas announced the release of the ZIP Economizer with BACnet connectivity. The company says the enhancement with BACnet will allow seamless integration with a BMS and provide facility managers the ability to easily configure its logic and monitor performance.
