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 of precision air conditioner for 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.
