To achieve the best energy efficiency class A in accordance with EN 15232, Beckhoff offers the TF8040 TwinCAT 3 Building Automation library that supports room automation functions based on the VDI 3813 guidline. Comprehensive room automation exploits the interdependencies of facade control, lighting and climate control to create a pleasant room atmosphere. At the same time, efficient room and zone control also affects the primary systems: the heating and cooling demands and the air quantities are regulated according to need. When designing the heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning systems, the needs arising from the specific use of the building must be taken into account. A further benefit lies in the way in which a majority of the optimization functions can be realized within the software on a single system during commissioning and operations. As a result, no reconstruction work impedes operation and the time required for software adjustment also remains within reasonable limits. In certain cases, many modifiations can be made by accessing the system remotely, without the need for a service technician to visit the site.

With NEXT, the Swedish company Airwatergreen AB is breaking new ground in the dehumidification of air in industrial buildings and warehouses. The patented CVP technology reduces energy requirements and ensures an indoor climate that prevents corrosion and mold growth. PC-based control from Beckhoff regulates this innovative process and – due to its open nature – enables networking and remote maintenance of the systems, including energy tariff-optimized and thus cost-saving operation.
Fire alarm systems work independently of the building automation system. Having detailed information about the state of the fire protection technology would make the work of many facility managers easier. Schrack Seconet has developed a flexible gateway using ultra-compact industrial PCs and TwinCAT from Beckhoff, which can be used to flexibly convert a customer-specific communication protocol to a wide range of transmission standards such as BACnet or OPC UA.
Is a fully autonomous building mere science fiction? No, it is already a reality, as the Belgian ASL Group in Liège is proving with a state-of-theart, 24/7 terminal for private flight operations. Beckhoff Solution Provider Boolean BV supported the implementation of this with end-to-end building automation.
Zhejiang Dafeng Industry is a leading solution provider from China serving the tourism and cultural sectors. When a branch for a national pavillion in Hangzhou was built, Dafeng was contracted to develop an intelligent folding wall system. With its greenish tile surface, the installation resembles a famous landscape painting. In the synchronized movement of the 251 walls weighing several tons each, PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology from Beckhoff ensures functional safety.
The scalability, modularity and reliability of the components make PC-based control from Beckhoff the ideal tool for implementing all building technology applications. Intelligent networking of all applications on one central platform is essential for ensuring optimum functionality and reducing energy consumption.
