BACnet Building ControllerHigh-performance CODESYS V3 PLC for industrial and building automation

Efficient building automation with intelligent control solutions. When it comes to efficient building automation ecological and economic factors are decisive, particularly in the energy-intensive sectors of heating, air-conditioning and ventilation technology. Optimal efficiency coupled with minimal expenditure represents the ideal to be aimed for, something which Berghof also regards as a prerequisite. We satisfy this requirement by providing intelligent, customised, software-based automation products that, like the compact BACnet Building Controller, are distinguished by their comprehensiveness, reliability and transparency.

Controllers with systemAt the core of the Berghof building auto-mation system is the BACnet Building Controller EC Compact with its numerous I/Os and interfaces. The PLC program on the EC Compact controls and visualises all processes within the system, communi-cating smoothly with all levels.

Networked building automation with the BACnet Building Controller EC Compact

→ Simple integration in the Ethernet-based building communication.

→ Remote and effortless access via the internet or Ethernet is possible from any location.

→ A clear and well laid out visualisation of processes is achieved with an Ether-net terminal.

→ An integrated 3-Port Switch makes it possible to connect a wide variety of Ethernet components.

→ The control system can be extended with Berghof EtherCAT I/Os.

→ The RS232 and RS485 (Modbus) interfaces and CAN bus make further expansion of the system possible.

→ Internet TCP/IP

Integrated concept

The BACnet Building Controller is based on a uniform BACnet concept currently being certifi ed. Everything is integrated and designed to be user-friendly and straight-forward in operation, from the tried and tested BACnet stack on the controller right through to the BACnet confi guration in the CODESYS V3 IEC61131-3 programming tool.

CODESYS – total management with just one tool

CODESYS is a reliable standard soft ware tool which can be used to manage all auto-mation soft ware. From control to commu-nication to target and web visualisation, all areas are covered with just one tool. Communication plays an important role here, and established communication pro-tocols like EtherCAT, CANopen or Modbus are provided. In building automation the BACnet network protocol also plays a role, with the compact unit making the entire

building automation possible. This means effi cient soft ware development as well as a clear and structured system overview, even when debugging. Errors can be identifi ed signifi cantly faster and be rectifi ed more easily than is the case with conventional systems.

Open system

The open control architecture guarantees fl awless communication between diff erent manufacturers’ equipment, thus providing maximum autonomy.

Reliability coupled with the assurance of long-term availability

Control solutions using the BACnet Buil-ding Controller EC Compact are available on a long-term basis. The controllers, which have been developed by Berghof, are based on proven and reliable hardware and soft ware.

An example of use: the air-conditioning system for an IT centre

Range of applications

As a BACnet Building Controller the Berghof EC Compact is suited to a wide range of uses within building management. The EC Compact has proven itself particularly in the case of demanding applications in the heating, ventilation and air-condition-ing fi eld such as climate control for IT centres, inspection rooms, clean-rooms and operating theatres.
