Central HVAC systems
Integrated building automation
The control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems is very important in building
automation, both concerning the well-being of the user and the reduction of energy consumption.
Alongside the standard hardware portfolio for integration of all data points, Beckhoff provides
a software tool that covers the entire scope of functions of an intelligent HVAC control system.
The TwinCAT PLC HVAC software library offers programmers and users the following benefi ts:
effi cient parameterisation and commissioning, a consistently high level of system functionality,
good readability and expandability of programs, ease of maintenance over many years, fl exible
expandability of systems, improved reusability of templates for systems or system modules, easy
training of service personnel, defi nition of a clear, object-oriented program structure, and good
documentability of programs.
The system is rounded off by manual operating modules for
integration into control cabinet doors; these allow monitoring and
operation of the system without having to open electrical cabinets.
Process data is represented directly using the K-bus in the PLC. The
coloured confi gurable LEDs give a clear view of the system status.
Energy data collection
Running a system effi ciently requires a lot of measurement
technology. Besides its standard portfolio of hardware and software,
Beckhoff offers as part of its TwinCAT Building Automation Library
function blocks that simplify using the KL3403 Power Measurement
Terminal considerably.
These function blocks provide effective and peak values for current,
voltage and power. In addition, the free M-Bus library offers many
options for reading data from M-Bus slaves with the KL6781 and
processing it directly in the PLC. In combination with the multi-meter
terminal, TwinCAT Scope 2 provides an easy-to-use tool for collecting
data and analysing signals graphically.
