Integration Solutions
The integration solutions developed
by Siemens for buildings can be
found on this page.
Fire Alarm and Security -
Integration Solutions
DESIGO integration with fire alarm
and security systems enables better
accessibility and information
sharing, reduction of investments in
existing systems, reduction in the
number of utilities and activation
of smoke control, lighting and CCTV
systems.
You can monitor and
confirm alarms, silence or reset my
site, and collect diagnostic
information for your fire alarm
system.
Hotel Systems - Integration
Solutions
Providing visitor comfort and
controlling the temperature in rooms
even when normal setpoint recovery
routines are not allowed. For
example, if the customer is not in
the room, they are allowed to
recover some setpoints. When the
general spaces such as the corridor
are controlled by DESIGO, setpoint
recovery and temperature adjustment
functions can be used automatically
in these locations depending on the
building load. (fidelio etc.)
HVAC - Integration Solutions
The integration of all HVAC systems
in the building ensures that all
systems are seen from a single
point, save money spent on
investment, and save on training and
updates in the long term. With
DESIGO's advanced messaging,
reporting and trending features
across all systems, you can increase
the value of your investment.
Key
gain: It allows to change the
temperature set values in full
coordination depending on the
instant requirement of the building.
Lighting Integration -
Integration Solutions
The integration of lighting control
systems provides energy savings and
increased comfort due to presence
detection.
Integration provides a
single user interface for system
time programs, graphical control and
monitoring.
You increase
productivity when you use Web
access, messaging, and alarm
management.
Power and Energy -
Integration Solutions
Real energy management with the
integration of energy meters, HVAC
equipment controllers, lighting
control, generators and other energy
needs and load information.
Integration also provides the
advantage of reducing energy
consumption, site power generation
and other energy management
strategies.
Integration can be
your power protection and backup
power. This is particularly
important for critical systems such
as UPS, backup generator, automatic
transfer switches and power
distribution units.
Variable Speed Drives (Frequency
Converters) (VSD) - Integration
Solutions
Communicating with Variable Speed
Drives enables you to realize your
energy management control
strategies. It enables the load
shredding operations required to
operate the distribution equipment.
Standard Protocols - Integration
Solutions
Standard protocols allow you to
select competitive solutions for
future facility updates and
expansion. Having a single user
interface also minimizes unnecessary
system training.
BACnet®,
Modbus®, OPC® and LonWorks® are the
most common and popular standard
protocols for building automation
systems.
Security and Access Control -
Integration Solutions
Bina You can improve the building
performance and operation by
integrating the security and access
control system with the DESIGO
system. A more secure and energy
efficient environment is created by
enabling setpoint changes depending
on CCTV, lighting and asset
detection or life safety events.
Internal expense distribution by
following the transitions in the
working hours.
Monitoring and
acknowledgment of security alarms or
transmitting acknowledged alarms
from the security station.
Delivery of security alarms to
phones by message or call with
DESIGO Insight software. Remote
access to security information over
the web.
Control of relays with
hand or time programs and release of
doors.
Critical Environments -
Integration Solutions
There are more than simple
temperature and humidity controls
behind the creation and guarantee of
precise ambient conditions in
critical environments. Many other
factors should also be considered:
the number of cycles and the
practical amount of air, changes in
floor plans, room pressure, drawer
configurations, weather changes and
regulatory guidelines.
You can
develop the developmental
information archiving and reporting
features of the InfoCenter Suite®
solution in all systems in areas
such as regulatory compliance,
information security, and
operational efficiency. Thanks to
the advanced alarm management of the
DESIGO Insight software, you can
send the alarm status to the
relevant personnel as a printout,
message or email at any point in the
monitored location.
Fuel Tanks - Integration
Solutions
Underground storage tanks for large
buildings and campuses are used for
fueling emergency and backup
generators. The integration of the
fuel tank sensor and probe values
into the building automation system
is often used as a legal requirement
for tank level monitoring,
distribution and inventory control
and leak detection.
Industrial Systems - Integration
Solutions
The Building Management System (BMS)
is frequently required to monitor
and control the values in PLC
networks and SCADA systems. BMS
should also respond to changes in
industrial systems by direct
integration into processors or
software platforms.
For upgrades
at your plant, Siemens offers you
system advice, reprogramming
existing PLCs, and technical support
for your applications.
Air Compressors - Integration
Solutions
Compressor control systems; they
enable the monitoring and adjustment
of simple air compressor functions
such as loading, unloading and
pinching. The integration of
compressor control systems into the
building automation system ensures
that they are part of the overall
energy saving strategies implemented
in the BMS.
All on-site trend
analysis, additional monitoring and
operations such as preventive
maintenance timelines and remote
monitoring reduce maintenance costs,
potential equipment failures,
unscheduled time, and replacement
costs.
Elevators - Integration
Solutions
Typically, elevator control systems
are integrated into the building
automation system by third party
software and hardware monitoring,
which collects elevator information
by contactors and cabling. With
integration, monitoring and control
of alarms, faults, personal
information and real time values are
obtained.
Operator Terminals - Integration
Solutions
The building management system (BMS)
and the information it provides are
valuable for the plant personnel as
well as for the production, finance,
accounting and IT departments.
The integration of SCADA and
production systems ensures the
centralization of industrial process
control systems and BMS data, the
use of a common database and
software architecture. With a single
software package and user interface,
you can monitor, control, link to,
or troubleshoot, these critical
information.
