BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS

CONTROL GRAPHICS

Many digital control strategies require fine tuning to assure
systems are staged and loaded without excessive surging and
cycling. Such strategies are often more comprehensive if
presented as a "Dynamic Sequence" where the specified
sequence is repeated with dynamic commandable values
embedded (Fig. 9).

DATA PENETRATION

Figures 7, 8, and 9 present data penetration concepts from
the macro to the micro levels. Graphics should be designed for
each specific operator type. For example, a security guard is

required to monitor certain critical alarm points after hours,
design special graphics of only those points, with simplified
explanations, and specific operator response messages. Use
simplified floor plan graphics with appropriately positioned
dynamic space temperatures for zone controllers. Selection of
the VAV icon (controller) presents the specified points (setpoint,
min-max airflow, damper position, etc.) on a terminal unit
graphic.
All system points should be positioned on graphics and certain
points should be specified on multiple graphics.
