Mikrodev PLC, DCS, IOT Protocol Converter and SCADA products provide solutions in many areas such as HVAC, lighting control, energy monitoring in BMS (Building Management System) and campus automation.
BMS & Campus Automation systems provide automatic management of all systems of a building or campus based on factors such as energy efficiency, security, comfort and control. These systems usually operate through a central software and hardware platform and can automatically monitor and manage physical systems, electrical, heating, ventilation and water systems, security systems, lighting systems and other functional elements in buildings.
In building management systems and campus automation, there are many advantages of performing all automation processes in the building from a single center. One of the advantages is that a possible malfunction is intervened more quickly. Thus, the workload of technical personnel is reduced and they can be used more efficiently. Energy saving is achieved by providing timed system control in lighting systems and by providing heat preservation with automatic control in air conditioning systems via SCADA. Energy values are monitored on the system, and fines are avoided in case of exceeding the consumption rate. Billing can be made based on the monthly consumption values of electricity meters, water meters and heat meters.
Thanks to these details, energy efficiency increases with building and campus automation systems, security and comfort are ensured, and managers are provided with the opportunity to monitor the status and performance of buildings continuously. The use of Mikrodev products in building and campus automation systems, while providing a better quality of life experience for individuals, means a more active and efficient administration and energy management for campus or building management. Within the scope of that, Mikrodev PLC, DCS, IOT Protocol Converter and SCADA products provide solutions in many areas such as HVAC, lighting control, energy monitoring in BMS.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) System
Mikrodev products are used in many areas in HVAC systems. In the air handling unit, fans in the ventilation ducts are controlled, proportional damper control, humidity and temperature values are monitored. The ambient temperature can be kept at the desired value by PID control. Pump controls are made to ensure that the heated water in the boiler room reaches the air handling unit. Mikrodev products are programmed to control the pumps with co-aging. The pressure and temperature of the water passing through the pipes are controlled by sensors. In order for the water cooled in the chillers to reach the air handling unit, the pump controls are also made through Mikrodev products. Chiller control is also done via MODBUS protocol. Temperature monitoring and pressure monitoring of the outgoing and returning water are also done via sensors.
Within the scope of building and campus automation systems, installing HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems, which includes Mikrodev products, provides multiple advantages to both the residents of the building and the building management. The primary advantage is energy efficiency, doubtlessly. Providing that the HVAC system control is used in building automation systems, it provides higher performance results in terms of heating, ventilation and air conditioning and provides energy savings. Consequently, the system contributes to energy efficiency.
In addition, automation systems using Mikrodev products continuously monitor the air temperature, humidity and air movement in the building, and can make automatic adjustments when necessary; thus, building occupants experience a higher level of comfort.
HVAC automation systems that work integrated with Mikrodev products have the opportunity to work more stable. In addition, the system is under constant monitoring, thus minimizing the risk of unexpected malfunctions and failures of the devices. HVAC solutions, which are included in automation systems, make it easier to monitor and report system efficiency and performance; all of these provide advantages in terms of the management of the building.
Lighting Control System
Mikrodev products are used in indoor and outdoor environmental lighting. Lighting lines inside the building are controlled automatically or manually. Timer blocks in the program can be used for lighting control. Lighting in the building can be controlled locally via SCADA.
Outdoor lighting can be controlled in a similar way inside the building. Lighting control can be done automatically by programming over astrotimer blocks. The latitude, longitude and time offset of the region are defined in the program, so that the exterior lights are turned on at sunset and turned off at sunrise.
The use of a lighting system integrated into the automation system, as in HVAC systems, increases the performance and efficiency of lighting systems and offers very significant advantages. Lighting control systems, in which Mikrodev products are used, increase their efficiency and save energy and significantly reduce the energy bills of the users.
These lighting control systems, as being the part of the building and campus automation, operate the outdoor lighting fixtures in the building or on the campus via DALI protocol, also fault information and causes, dim adjustments are made via Mikrodev DCS and DALI expansion module.
By controlling the luminaire radiation on the system according to the intensity of use, it is ensured that the luminaire is used in a long-lasting and efficient manner with energy saving. In addition, according to the fault values of the luminaires monitored over the system with the DALI protocol, information about the source of the fault is obtained and correct intervention is ensured in order to eliminate the fault.
Lighting control systems enable monitoring and report the performance & efficiency as a whole. The misuse of energy resources is becoming a wide problem in today’s world therefore lighting control systems ensure maximum efficiency of energy resources and also supports the principle of sustainability.
Energy Tracking System
In building automation energy monitoring, the analyzer and relay data in the transformer are transferred to the remote system via Mikrodev’s DCS, PLC and IOT Gateway products. In addition to these, consumption values can be tracked and invoiced with remote meter reading applications.
MDC100 series IOT gateway product family is used to convert OBIS codes in electricity meters to MODBUS protocol. The data converted to MODBUS protocol sends the data to the remote system via Ethernet, GSM or Wi-Fi. More than one meter can be read with a converter.
MMS100 series gateway products convert M-BUS protocol in water meter, heat meter (calorimeter) and natural gas meters into MODBUS protocol. It is possible to query the meters with the primary (Slave ID) and secondary (Serial Number) addressing methods. The converted data can be read over the serial port or over TCP/IP access ports (Ethernet, GSM, Wi-Fi).
Consumption values of companies within buildings and campuses can be tracked by meter data monitored through IOT gateway products, and monthly consumption values can be calculated to generate invoices for companies. Energy efficiency can be calculated based on consumption values. Furthermore, malfunctions occurring in the monitored meters are identified through the system, enabling quick meter replacement.
Possible penalties can be avoided by calculating ratios based on consumption values monitored through Mikrodev IOT products and ViewPLUS SCADA software. Pre-alarms defined through the system enable preventive measures to be taken before incurring penalties.
