INDUSTRY:
Automotive
FOCUS:
Ensuring optimal conditions for the office and r&d areas, while obtaining maximal energy efficiency.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective was to fully automate the system, making it accessible remotely to reduce maintenance staff and decrease response times during system failures.
SOLUTION:
- Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs
- Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation
- Modbus, BacNet, LON, MBUS, and Profinet communication protocols
- Siemens sensors
PROJECT DURATION:
8 months
THE PROJECT COMPRISED OF:
In this project, the client required a sophisticated Building Management System (BMS) for their 15,000 sqm new building, with mixed usage for office, R&D and production.
The project involved:
- Developing the system architecture and functional design based on client specifications.
- Constructing control panels and performing the electrical installation.
- Programming the PLCs (Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500) and SCADA system (Ignition, Inductive Automation).
- Conducting IO checks and commissioning the system.
The main components integrated into the BMS included:
- Monitoring temperature and humidity from busbars using Schneider sensors.
- Integrating electrical energy meters and gas meters.
- Managing the heat distribution station and associated boilers.
- Monitoring chillers and pump groups.
- Tracking coupled/decoupled states and trips from all electrical panels.
- Monitoring and controlling both exterior and interior lighting.
- Monitoring and controlling Variable Air Volume (VAV) units.
- Monitoring and controlling ventilation fans in sanitary groups.
