Data and communication servers (DCS) are used as management stations in
building automation and control (BAC). With DDC technology, the DCSs, as
superposed system components, allow for customer-specific solutions of all
building automation and control tasks.
Use
The DCS' application range comprises a large number of building automation and control
tasks such as:
• Process station communication at the subsystem level.
• Processing of acquired process data in real time.
• Continuous storage of selected process values (temperatures, setpoints, etc.).
• Monitoring of technical installations.
• Output of higher commands (e.g. peak load control, emergency power and network
restoration).
• Logging of plant faults.
• Alarming of internal and external service organizations.
• Sending clear text messages based on technical plant events.
• Triggering reactions based on various causes:
Time, date, process value changes and operating hours (maintenance).
• Simultaneous execution of various BAC tasks (multitasking).
