BMS for Automotive supplier

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.
