1.2 Operating system for building automation and
control system
All data servers, operator stations, etc., for the BAC system must be compatible
with the most current, generally available Windows 64-bit operating system.
As a result, the current version of Windows (at least 6 months after release by
Microsoft) as well as a minimum of the last Version is supported. Modifications to
the customer network must be possible. The BAC system must therefore be
installable on any common PC or on tested embedded/industrial hardware and
offer a multitasking environments where a user can run multiple applications
simultaneously.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Ecosystem
The system must provide the means to develop proprietary drivers, not supported
by the system natively for communication with 3rd party subsystems and devices,
or exchange of data with external applications.
The system must also provide possibilities to extend the functionality by adding
new libraries containing scripts, graphic symbols, graphic templates or object
models to support subsystem integration or optimize automated tasks.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Long term storage
The system must be able to store and archive data for a period of more than 10
years, allowing as an option segregation of stored data in different groups that can
be tuned individually with different recording frequencies. Remounting of offline
archived data must also be allowed.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Validated and critical environments
The system must allow compliance to regional certifications for validated
environments, such as GMP Annex 11, US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or similar. A
special technical document verifying the compliance of the system in critical
environments must be present.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Migration
The system must allow a smooth migration of an existing management station. Via
its embedded software utilities, it must be able to accumulate existing graphic
pages and Trend Objects or datasets, from a legacy management station to the
new software.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Distributed architecture
The platform must allow a distributed architecture across different systems to
enable scalability (up to 500,000 objects) and separation by discipline and / or
location.
The distributed architecture must provide a single system image to the end user.
The functionality that is available in a single system must be also available in a
distributed architecture.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
Integration of BACnet Elevators/Escalators
The system must natively support the integration of BACnet Elevator and Escalator
objects with models and graphic libraries to perform the following actions:
