Data and communication servers (DCS) are used as management stations in
building automation and control (BACS). Being a higher system component, the
DCS together with DDC technology allow for customized solutions covering all
tasks to be carried out in building automation and control.
Use
The DCS field of use includes a large number of building automation and control tasks
and functions such as:
Communicating with process stations on the subsystem level.
Real-time processing of recorded/acquired data.
Continuous storage of selected process values (temperatures, set points, etc.).
Monitoring of technical installations.
Output of higher commands (e.g. peak load limiting and network restoration).
Reporting plant faults.
Alarming for internal or external service organizations.
Sending clear text messages based on plant events.
Triggering reactions based on different causes:
Time, date, and process value changes and operating hours (maintenance).
Simultaneously executing multiple BAC tasks (multitasking).
Presenting process values, consumption variables, degrees of efficiency, and further
operational or system-related information by means of clear displays.
