RBC-WP1-PE
WINDOWS CONTROL PACKAGE
RBC-WP1-PE
|
The RBC-WP1-PE is a front-end software
package that controls all aspects of the air conditioning
systems installed on a site. The software is installed on a
PC, which then connects to a TCB-IFLN640TLE2 LonWorks
gateway for connection to the indoor units.
The software allows all of the units
operating parameters to be adjusted from the one PC.
It allows faults to be reported and
re-transmitted via email, fax or text message. The software
can be accessed remotely either by telephone or via the
Internet. The software can log data and provide graphical
representation of data. It has a schedule built-in for time
control and it can also be used to reset set points or modes
of operation.
When the software is installed, it will
automatically install the gateways and power meters and it
will then generate basic graphics.

Application
The software is used when a computer solution is required in
order to provide a flexible solution to allow the air
conditioning to be fully controlled from one central point. It
offers much functionality, which is suited to small and large
systems. |

Connections
The Windows Package (RBC-WP1-PE) connects to a LonWorks gateway
via the AB network.
The AB network is connected via a two part screw
terminal connector the recommended cable is 2-Core Screened
1.5mm2. The connector is mounted on a full height PCI card that
is fitted to the PC Limits
The windows package can control up to 1024
indoor units connected through the LonWorks gateways (one
gateway required per 64 indoor units).

Features of the Software
Customization
The software being very flexible, it allows for
a fully adaptable graphical representation of the building to be
included.
Frost Protection
The software has the ability to sample the air
temperature from an individual or a selection of indoor units.
Then, based on this data, operate the air conditioning to give
frost and fabric protection to the building
Energy monitoring
The energy monitoring software can be included
to calculate the running costs of the individual indoor units.
This data can then be provided in structured bills for the
building tenants. This data is calculated from the demand given
from the indoor units and the power consumed by the system. The
RBC-EM1-PE power meter is required for this function. This
option is covered in a separate data sheet.
Control of other devices
We have a simple digital Input / Output module
that we use to control other plant systems. For example, we
could enable boilers or other air-handling units. The module can
accept inputs also; examples would be an input from a fire alarm
where the air conditioners are shutdown or an input to switch on
the air conditioners from an external source. The RBCDI1 module
is required for this function. This option is covered in a
separate data sheet.
