Building Automation System

Building automation systems (BAS) integrate a building's various systems through a common network infrastructure. BAS monitor and control functions like HVAC, lighting, security, and life safety to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety. Programming BAS involves configuring control stations and developing application programs to control components via common protocols like BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, and PROFIBUS.

HOW DOES BUILDING AUTOMATION WORK?

In a traditional building, unrelated systems such as HVAC, lighting, security, and life safety have their own controls and sometimes different cabling. In an automated building, all of these systems are integrated with the use of a common network infrastructure or a common fiber backbone. This fiber backbone allows these integrated systems to talk to each other. The data from these systems is delivered to a single monitoring interface that can be accessed via the internet for 24/7 monitoring.

BACnet Data communication protocol for BA and control networks The rules relates specifically to the needs of BA equipment Has been developed under the auspices of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers ( ASHRAE)

LonWorks Also known as the LonTalk protocol and ANSI/EIA 709.1. A layered, packet-based, peer-to-peer communication protocol. Can be built using most types of LAN cables, including twisted paur, coaxial, power line, radio frequency, infrared and fibre optics.

Modbus Emerged in the mid-1970s as an early protocol for linking terminals with Modicon PLCs using a master-slave relationship. Involving four basic elements, including device address, function code, data and error checking. The sequence is always the same , which makes passing very fast and efficient.

PROFIBUS Consist of three compatible versions offering very high integrity and a capability appropriate to the need, there are ; PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS FMS, PROFIBUS PA The network consists of several stations, including masters and slaves

A typical network architecture of BAS (Shengwei, 2010)


Field control networks typically connect the field control stations. The control stations are interfaced with the building services system via sensors, detector and control actuation devices. Network control stations serve as the router/converter to integrate the field control networks into the management network. Network control stations may have input and output for interfacing with building services systems directly.

The office worker faces the working environment. Examples of used-connectivity with the computer, lighting and the window ( Himanen. a Derek, 2004)

The programming software tools may be installed on the center computer stations where the programmers can configure control stations, program the control station and download the control software into the control stations from the central computer station through the network. Many control station are provided the programming tools which typically run on PCs or notebook computers, linked to the control stations directly via the serial port, USB port, or the like, when programming them.

Programming a control station typically involves two main categories of tasks, configuring the control station and developing and downloading the application program to the control station. The programming environments provided by the programming tools of different supplier may be very different, and can be group into three categories: Graphic/symbolic format Template or table format Text format high-level language programming

Developers tend to separate two platforms due to the fact that the monitoring and management platform needs to manage a number of BAS subsystems from different manufacturers or using different standards
