The introduction of automation and dispatching systems for engineering communications at various sites increases the efficiency of operation of equipment installed in the building:

• lighting devices;
• ventilation;
• heaters;
• pumps that are responsible for the operation of sewer, heating, and water supply systems.

    The popularity of ACS for water supply systems, heating networks, and power engineering is associated with increased energy efficiency requirements. The introduction of ACS for engineering systems will create the most comfortable environment for residents, staff, and visitors. Creating an effective automatic control system requires the involvement of professionals who can implement a truly effective management system. The specialists of our company will help to implement ACS and dispatching at an object of any purpose. We have extensive development experience in this area. Our specialists have developed and implemented a large number of automated control systems for engineering services.

Purpose of ACS for engineering systems

    Automatic communication control systems allow extending their service life and reducing the cost of repair and maintenance of engineering systems. With the help of ACS, energy-saving technologies can be used with maximum efficiency.

    It is impossible to manually operate modern energy-saving communication systems at modern facilities. This approach requires an increase in the number of employees who must constantly monitor and maintain engineering systems. Statistics show that the main cause of all accidents is considered to be the human factor. Reducing it to a minimum after the introduction of an automatic control system makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of accidents on heating networks, sewerage, power supply, water supply, and ventilation.

    The automated control system will take control of all temperature indicators, ensure optimal pressure in the system, monitor the voltage in the network, and control the temperature level in the heating circuit. ACS can solve various tasks for monitoring the communications used. If necessary, ACS can be implemented in any technological cycles to reduce downtime due to breakdowns and improve product quality, reducing equipment maintenance costs.

• An individual set of automatic control system functions is developed for each client at the design stage, depending on its configuration and type. Our engineers can develop projects for any objects, taking into account the specifics of their operation. The basic ACS provides the following functions:
• managing the operation of modules that include heating, air conditioning, and ventilation. ACS will promptly collect performance indicators and check all characteristic values;
• to set in motion all dampers and valves in automatic mode in emergencies;
• ensure safety in the event of failures in the systems in the form of lack of airflow, lowering or increasing temperature values, the appearance of ice in the heating circuit, which can break the system, and other failures in operation;
• protection of all working modules from increased load during operation, short circuits, overheating, elimination of errors when connecting systems,
• regular monitoring and assessment of the status of working modules;
• adjustment of the operating modes of engineering communications by the needs of the object where they are installed so that it is possible to reduce energy consumption;
• indoor air temperature monitoring;
• change of operating parameters in automatic mode, without involving personnel in this process.

    ACS can be implemented in any system, starting with heating and power supply, ending with video surveillance, alarm, and other communications.

    The use of ACS reduces accidents to minimum values. If serious deviations from the set parameters are detected, the automated control system sends a signal to the central control panel, which allows the operator or computer to make an optimal decision promptly.

    If the sensor detects that the pressure has dropped in the water supply system, the automated control system will turn off the section of the water supply that is in an emergency, which will avoid inefficient water consumption.

    If a problem with the heating element in the form of an increase in its surface temperature is noticed, the system will automatically turn it off.

    The operator at the central control panel will be able, thanks to the automated control system, to change operating modes in all systems promptly, reacting promptly to changes in external conditions.

    For example, if the room connected to the Central heating system becomes cold, the temperature control sensor sends a signal to the control room about the need to increase the capacity of the boiler equipment.

    If the system notices voltage failures in the power grid operating in autonomous mode, it will automatically immediately turn on stabilizers, powerful modules, or spare generators to prevent the electricity from turning off.

Main elements of the ACS

    Our company uses industrial-type controllers to create basic ACS modules. Their advantages are versatility and functionality. They can be used to manage any process cycles and engineering systems. They are suitable for controlling heating, power supply, water supply, etc.

    Before choosing a suitable controller, engineers first study the customer's object and the specifics of its operation. The choice of controller depends directly on the type and number of control sensors used and the number of digital and analog connectors.

    Before starting the installation of the ACS line, specialists always check the performance of the computer analog in a special program. Thanks to this, before the automatic control system is physically installed, it is possible to accurately identify its weaknesses and eliminate them on time.

ACS for ventilation and air conditioning systems

    To automatically control the operation of life support systems for buildings, the module scheme for forming a complex of air conditioning and ventilation of premises must be developed. To create the module, temperature sensors are used that monitor the air temperature in the room and air ducts. The sensors send the received information to the controller, which increases or decreases the power of the ventilation and air conditioning system by the needs of the object.

     ACS for ventilation and air conditioning are particularly effective at large facilities where a complex system of air ducts and ventilation is installed. With automatic control systems, you can save at least 50% of the electricity that such equipment consumes.

     A properly functioning ventilation system ensures the creation of a comfortable microclimate for staff, which saves on sick days and downtime that occur as a result of employees' illness. Statistics show that it is a malfunction of the ventilation and air conditioning system that causes colds and respiratory diseases of staff. It is enough to simply set the optimal working mode on time to avoid the cost of paying sick leave, delays in the delivery of important projects, and staff shortages in the off-season because half of the employees are on sick leave.

Benefits of introduction

    When using ACS and dispatching, you can get tangible advantages:

• reduce utility costs and energy costs;
• synchronize the operation of all engineering systems, thereby reducing operating costs;
• automate the collection of operational data that is required for maintenance;
• ensure the safety of any facility and its personnel by continuously monitoring all systems and networks. This means that any deviation from the operating mode will be detected and eliminated in time;
• creating a comfortable and healthy microclimate that increases productivity.

    Who can use the implementation of ACS and dispatching of engineering systems?

    Automation of maintenance and management of engineering systems will be an excellent solution for shopping centers, offices, leisure centers, night clubs, and other objects that have a large area and many rooms.

    In such buildings, pipes, wires, and air ducts are often located in places that are difficult for personnel to reach for routine inspection and maintenance. As a result, in such places, there are breaks or other emergencies that lead to tragic cases.

    The introduction of automation in the process of managing various life support systems will help to get rid of such risks completely. ACS includes a number of the following devices:

• complexes that are needed to execute commands, sensors, and connections. This unit provides control of overall equipment.
• controllers and control modules that collect signals from sensors, process them, and control the equipment used according to this data;
• monitoring devices that are responsible for the interconnectedness across all elements of the ACS.
