General Product
Description
1.
The Facility
Management System shall be capable of integrating multiple building functions
including equipment supervision and control, alarm management, energy
management, and historical data collection and archiving.
2.
The system shall
be modular in nature, and shall permit expansion of both capacity and
functionality through the addition of sensors, actuators, standalone DDC
panels, and operator devices.
3.
System
architectural design shall eliminate dependence upon any single device for
alarm reporting and control execution.
Each DDC panel shall operate independently by performing its own
specified control, alarm management, operator I/O, and historical date
collection. The failure of any single
component or network connection shall not interrupt the execution of control
strategies at other operational devices.
4.
Standalone DDC
panels shall be able to access any data from, or send control commands and
alarm reports directly to any other DDC panel or combination of panels on the
network without dependence upon a central processing device. Standalone DDC panels shall also be able to
send alarm reports to multiple operator workstations without dependence upon a
central processing device.
G. Networking/Communications
1.
The design of
the FMS shall network Standalone DDC Panels.
Inherent in the system’s design shall be the ability to expand or modify
the network either via the a local area network, or auto-dial telephone line
modem connections, or via a combination of the two networking schemes.
2.
The controller
for the absorber installation shall be connected to the campus automation (N2
bus). The local controller shall transmit all alarms, as noted in the sequence
of operation, to the campus central terminals.
H.
Local Area
Network
1.
DDC Panel
Support: DDC panels shall directly reside on a local area network such that
communications may be executed directly between controllers, directly between
workstations, and between controllers and workstations on a peer-to-peer basis.
2.
Dynamic Data
Access: All operator devices, either
network resident or connected via dial-up modems, shall have the ability to
access all point status and application report data, or execute control
functions for any and all other devices via the local area network. Access to data shall be based upon logical
identification of building equipment.
3.
Access to system
data shall not be restricted by the hardware configuration of the facility
management system. The hardware
configuration of the FMS network shall be totally transparent to the user when
accessing data or developing control programs.
4.
General Network
Design: Network design shall include the
following provisions:
a.
High speed data
transfer rates for alarm reporting, quick report generation from multiple
controllers, and upload/download efficiency between network devices. The minimum baud rate shall be 1 Megabaud.
b.
Support of any
combination of controllers and operator workstations directly connected to the
local area network. A minimum of 50
devices shall be supported on a single local area network.
c.
Detection and
accommodation of single or multiple failures of either workstations, DDC panels
or the network media. The network shall
include provisions for automatically reconfiguring itself to allow all operational equipment to
perform their designated functions as effectively as possible in the event of
single or multiple failures.
d.
Message and
alarm buffering to prevent information from being lost.
e.
Error detection,
correction, and retransmission to guarantee data integrity.
f.
Default device
definition to prevent loss of alarms or data, and ensure alarms are reported as
quickly as possible in the event an operator device does not respond.
g.
A PC workstation
may serve as an operator device on a local area network, as well as a dial-up
workstation for multiple auto-dial DDC panels or networks. Alarm and data file transfers handled via
dial-up transactions shall not interfere with local area network activity, nor
shall local area network activity keep the workstation from handling incoming
calls.
