SIMATIC, the trademark for efficient automation solutions in manufacturing and process control, is also the right choice as far as solutions for industrial building automation systems are concerned. HVAC solutions based on SIMATIC provide the following advantages:
Totally Integrated Automation When implementing optimized automation solutions in industrial applications, one of the most important tasks is to implement all plant areas as well as all auxiliary systems uniformly with one single technology. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) is one of the most important auxiliary systems, decisive for production as well as for a consistently high product quality. Both the horizontal and vertical integration of the automation solution into production and the auxiliary systems ensure optimum availability, a high degree of effectiveness and the economic efficiency of the entire plant.
Cost reduction SIMATIC S7 is the leading industrial automation system in the market. It covers almost all tasks in manufacturing and process automation. With HVAC solutions that are based on SIMATIC, the user benefits from the uniformity of the industry standard. As a result, you have the following advantages: Use of one single automation system for processing/ production and auxiliary systems Cost reduction thanks to the standardization of components on the automation level Industry-standard HVAC automation quality Easy operator control and monitoring Reduced number of interfaces Simplification of maintenance and servicing
Integration The integration of automation from production to building technology increases efficiency, reliability and economic efficiency of the entire plant. SIMATIC HVAC is an open, fast, precise and extremely reliable system specifically designed for industrial requirements. Thus it offers a maximum of integration and flexibility in addition to operating safety. All from a single source integration of field devices HVAC has many different proprietary field devices. Field devices are, for example, valves, damper actuators, pumps as well as special designs and versions of sensors and actuators. Siemens Building Technology offers a wide range of these products. Thanks to the cooperation of the A&D and SBT Divisions, the customer now receives all components required for an HVAC solution based on SIMATIC from a single source.
Until now, HVAC requirements could only be met by using larger SIMATIC S7 controllers. New is the library HVAC Lite Library for small standalone applications in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems for a particularly low-cost implementation, since this library has been designed for the cost-effective mini PLCs and compact controls of the S7-300 and ET 200S CPU device family. This library can therefore be used for the automation of hall ventilation and ventilation systems, or even small air conditioning systems without separate visualization and with no or just a slight degree of networking. The HVAC Lite Library is the main component of the new SIMATIC HVAC Easy Select configuration solution for the optimized processing of simple HVAC applications. Presently, six configuration solutions have been defined:
HVAC Easy Select 1 HVAC Easy Select 2 HVAC Easy Select 3 HVAC Easy Select 4 HVAC Easy Select 5 HVAC Easy Select 6
Outside air or exhaust air ventilation systems without air treatment Ventilation system, heating or cooling with one heating/cooling coil and one fan Ventilation system, heating or cooling with one register and with two fans Ventilation system with mixing chamber, heating and cooling Ventilation system with plate heat recovery, heating and cooling, two-speed fan Complete ventilation system with heat recovery and air washer as primary system for air volume control
The configuration solutions show the optimum component selection for the respective application, for the controller and appropriate I/O as well as for a range of applicable field devices from which the required actuators and sensors have to be selected. To round it off, the HVAC Lite Library is an add-on library to STEP 7 for HVAC applications and enables the solution provider to develop a corresponding system solution with minimum overhead.
The supplied variant of the library contains sample projects for all seven Easy Select tasks, which then only need to be configured according to the data contained in the project. The HVAC Lite Library has very little memory requirements, so that small S7 controllers can be used for the respective solutions. Thus, the user is now also able to serve the industrial HVAC sector that demands such small, costeffective standalone HVAC applications. The number of SIMATIC HVAC Easy Select variants is principally not fixed. Depending on the requirements on correspondingly preconfigured solutions, further configuration solutions can be created.
SIMATIC HVAC Easy Select packages are configuration solutions that show how you can configure a specific HVAC application quickly and easily. They consist of different hardware components from SIMATIC controllers to I/O units right up to a selection of corresponding field devices. The heart of the SIMATIC HVAC Easy Select package is the add-on HVAC Lite Library for STEP 7, which you can use to configure the required application quickly and conveniently. And to make it even easier for you, we have included a sample application that matches the particular task specification to be covered by the package.
The advantage of the room supply air or extract air cascade control is the considerably enhanced control performance compared to a regular room temperature control. Thus you can achieve an enhancement of the control quality by a factor of 5 to 8 and accelerate the control compared to when using a room temperature sensor. Furthermore, the use of recirculated air saves heating energy. The cascade control makes it possible to limit
the maximum supply air temperature, which cannot be done with a regular room temperature control. The HVAC Lite Library also includes STEP 7 sample applications for configuring the described HVAC task. The SIMATIC HVAC Easy Select configuration solution thus helps you to reach your goal faster.
