Event-dependent BPS functions
Function sheet
A building automation and control system must react with predefined functions
to certain events. In VISONIK, the BPS handles automation level events and, if
programmed, forwards to the management station.
Events change states. As a rule, all BPS point types can react to events. Event
processing is explained below based on a sample for I/O module points and point
types. We distinguish between the following:
• Input points: Signaling (ML), measuring (MW), counting (ZW). They transmit change
of states from the plant and indicate to the BPS that events have occurred.
• Output points: Switching (SB), positioning (ST). They create events if the BPS issues
switching or positioning commands to the plant.

Events
Reactions
For example, the following events can be communicated via the I/O module points:
– Positioning command point ST issues a positioning command change to the valve.
– Counter value point ZW indicates the volumetric flow for synchronization pulses.
– Signaling point ML indicates the fault state of the status contact FROST.
– Switching command point SB switches on or off the valve.
– Measured value point MW acquires the change of supply air temperature.
The BPS triggers event-dependent functions, or reactions, if events are transmitted or
created. Reactions may be: Plant manipulations, report output, alarm triggers, reaction
picture creation on INSIGHT, opening of telephone connection, etc..
