Building Management System

General
savic-net FX is a Building Management System
(BMS) that manages the building facilities. Inheriting
the concept of Open Evolution, we actualize the
cutting-edge BMS by maintaining the compatibility
with conventional systems and adopting versatile
technology.
The operations of supervisory terminal and system
expansion have become easier with the latest
technologies called IP* 1 /Linux/XML* 2 /SVG* 3 /Java ™
as a platform. This allows not only the building
manager, but the building owner and the end-users
to operate BMS, to manage information on BMS, and
to directly retrieve necessary information at any time.
Flexible building operations are thus enabled.
System Core Server (SCS), System Management
Server (SMS), and Data Storage Server (DSS)
enable your PC to supervise and to control the BMS
even as the center (client PC). Any PC can be client
PC as long as it has Web-browser software.
- SCS: Core of the system to consolidate the DDC
group. SCS controls DDC.
- SMS: SMS consolidates the overall system.
- DSS: Web-based server to save building energy
data.
The optimum distributed autonomous control system
is configured in the overall system including DDC.
The whole system therefore is not affected even
when a trouble occurs or during maintenance.
Integrated management for building facilities
(including HVAC, electricity, heating/cooling plant,
plumbing, security, and fire control), optimum
facilities operation by the optimum function
distribution, various control programs in coordination,
and user terminals for end-users operation provide
efficiency, convenience, and comfortable
environment as well as energy conservation.

Operability
• From data point in the graphic display, you can simply jump to trend graphs and schedules. Besides, you can
easily access to the desired information with various filtering function.
• Real time information including alarms and status change of a facility can be displayed/stored/output in data
format. Desired information can be retrieved by filtering function and modified by comment writing function
anytime you want.
• Using the System Management Server as the control tower, consolidation and transmission of various
information in the building are performed. Necessary information can be retrieved anytime, by anyone, and from
anywhere.
• The settings (ON/OFF) of AHU and lightings can be made from the PC terminal of the end-users (e.g., residents).
Outdoor information such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall is indicated (displayed) all the time to inform the
indoor users of the outdoor conditions.
• Alarms reported to client PC can be sent to a mobile phone via e-mail or Short Message Service. Therefore, you,
even away from the building, are notified of the alarms. And, you are always accessible to the BMS from
anywhere by using mobile PC (client PC).
Safety/reliability
• The reliability and maintenance ensured by modularized system with autonomous distributed control.
• System Management Server (SMS) and Data Storage Server (DSS) are specially developed for savic-net FX
BMS. Other than a built-in high-reliability hard disk, in the event of a power failure, a built-in battery for backup
supplies power until SMS and DSS are properly shut down.
• 3 direct input terminals (fire alarm, power supply status, power generator switch) are provided in System Core
Server (SCS). This assures data acquisition and system recovery in case of a power failure.
Environment-friendly technology
• savic-net FX promotes printer-less and paper-less to contribute the resource saving.

Table 2. Products overview

Product name Overview
Client PC is basically installed in the center room to supervise the whole building. It can be
installed anywhere as long as the location is suitable for network connection. It
supervises the following features:
- Monitoring: status, alarms, and measurement of each facility,
- Operation: remote ON/OFF control
Client PC
- Data output: operating status, alarm status, and measuring data
- Data analysis: operating status, alarm status, and measuring data
Client PC can be installed in multiple locations (up to 5 client PCs) so that several
operators in different locations can supervise the building. (e.g., supervising in the
building and in the fire control center at the same time.)
The primary collected data in SCS is stored as BMS base data. In addition to information
Data Storage Server
process, data for daily/monthly/yearly report and for trend graphs are collected, stored,
(DSS)
and processed in DSS.
System Management Server SMS distributes data to display, set, and control the BMS management information (point
(SMS) information, program, etc.) using the Web browser software of the client PC.
SCS is provided in response to the size of the building, its facilities (equipment), and
contents to supervise. SCS collects various management information from the remote
System Core Server units and transmits information to SMS. The collected data is stored for a certain period of
(SCS) time. SCS also performs different types of integrated control including energy saving.
Since SCS performs autonomous distributed control, it continues the operation even if
another part of the system is shut down.
Infilex series controllers are digital controllers of the respective types of terminal units.
Since the Infilex controllers perform autonomous distributed control, they continue normal
operation even if another part of the system is accidentally shut down.
Infilex controllers communicate with the client PC via SCS. They receive, for example, the
setting changes from the client PC and transmit the control data (result value).
Intelligent controllers: Following models of Infilex controllers are available:
Infilex series and - Infilex AC: AHU controller
PARAMATRIX-III
- Infilex GC: Multipurpose controller
- Infilex GD: Multipurpose (status, alarms, measuring, etc.) data collecting unit
- Infilex VC: VAV controller
- Infilex FC: FCU controller
- PMX-III (PARAMATRIX-III): Chiller controller/pump controller
Operator in a room can set and change temperature and humidity, start and stop AHU, and
Neopanel
reschedule the AHU operation to extend the operating time.

Distribution Control System
Features
• Risk distribution
The remote units in charge of operating and controlling BMS facilities and equipment (also called ‘controllers’
and ‘sub-controllers’) peform autonomous distributed control. Their performance therefore is hardly affected
during periodic maintenance or even when a trouble occurs at a part of the BMS, ensuring high control reliability.
• Expandability
Since system configuration is flexibly designed and modified in response to applications and size of a building,
initial investment of the system configuration and cost for future sytem expansion are reduced.
In addition, platform computer for monitoring and control the system (client PC) does not require any specific
manufacturer or model. That is, your PC can be used as client PC as long as Web-browser software is installed.
• User-friendly system
SCS (System Core Server), provided not only per building facility/equipment but per section/floor of a building,
allows you to easily check the operating status of each facility and equipment as well as the overall system
configuration.
Vertical distribution and horizontal distribution
Vertical distribution control:
The vertical distribution of savic-net FX consists of the following 4 levels:
Integrated management → Data management → Management and control separated by systematic group
→ Individual control.
The data in the lower level of the system is collected by the upper level so that the whole system delivers the highest
performance.
Each level performs autonomous distributed control. This prevents the whole system from being affected when a
trouble occurs at a part of the system.
Horizontal distribution control:
In terms of horizontal distribution, the whole savic-net FX system is separated not only per building facility (HVAC,
electricity, fire control, and security) but per floor/section of a building, and the remote units (controllers and
sub-controllers) are arranged to these separated sections.
Each remote unit performs autnomous distributed control. This prevents the whole system from being affected when
a trouble occurs at a part of the system.

Functional distribution
In savic-net FX system, for safety, controllability, and operability, the functions (collection of measuring data and
operating status, collection and report of alarm data, data storage, management and control per group, and
individual control) are optimally distributed to the respective units in each level.
Optimum distribution of control functions:
The control functions are distributed to the lower level of the system. Each level is further divided in accordance with
the control type (control of a separate remote unit OR control of a systematic group including multiple remote units).
This ensures safety, harmony between remote units and facilities, and controllability of the overall system.
Optimum distribution of monitoring and management functions:
2 types of the servers (System Management Server and Data Storage Server) achieve both management and
monitoring functions that contain different requirements for real-time operation.

Description
Data points separated per systematic group are displayed in a list. Batch operation is
available for start/stop point and setpoints of a group.
With the user group list function, an operator can arrange the list by adding/deleting points
to/from the list.
Information regarding each data point in the building is displayed in the high-definition
graphic display. In the display, it is also possible to assign the toggle buttons for jump to
other relevant screens. Information spread over the multiple screens thus can be easily
obtained.
In addition, the method of displaying information on data points includes the following
functions:
Color changes in symbol graphic forms, numeric value display, animation of equipment
operating status (e.g., fan), color indication for wiring and piping in active state.
Multiple pieces of information shown in one graphic thus can be easily obtained. Static
images (photographic data, etc.) can be inserted in the graphic as well.
The graphic size can be reduced or enlarged to your window size of Web browser. Also
the size can be enlarged by specifying the range.
Registerable items (point information): 200 items (data points + screen toggle images)
Maximum of 200 operators can be registered with the user ID and password. Access to
the system is thus controlled depending on the operators’ tasks.
For the information which cannot be displayed on a single screen such as a list display,
the up-down screen can be scrolled up and down, and the required information can be
displayed or obtained easily.
2 screens can be displayed simultaneously (in piles). 2 screens are automatically
positioned in place so that an operator can obtain data from multiple screens with simple
operations.
Since forced screen reporting alarm is separately displayed as 3rd screen, it does not
interfere the operation being performed before the alarm reported.
Point information can be displayed. Start/stop operations of equipment and point
information setting can be performed as well. The detailed data including time schedule
and trend of data point is displayed in the point details display. The point display is
appeared by selecting a certain data point in the group list or graphic. This enables you to
obtain accurate point information regardless of the volume of the data points.
System status is monitored for 24 hours a day. An alarm detected is reported with
indicator (icon), message display (new alarm), buzzer. The graphic and the point
guidance display forcibly appear.
To display alarm history, alarm dashboard is called by clicking the new alarm display
window.
Up to 23 screens frequently used can be registered as user menu. Further, 3 screens out
of those can be registered as shortcuts for easy access.
Up to 20 previously displayed screens are stored to re-display.
Alarm buzzer has 4 different sounds. Each sound indicates alarm level.
Alarm can be reported with voice message. Alarm is reported either with buzzer or with
voice message. For each data point, buzzer or voice message (including message type)
is selected.

Description
Equipment runtime and ON/OFF count are totalized, and the equipment operating status is
monitored. As maintenance indicator, a certain level of runtime and ON/OFF count of each
equipment is preset, so that an operator can tell when each equipment requires
maintenance.
Runtime and ON/OFF count of each equipment are totalized from when each equipment is
started up for the first time (grand totalization), and from when each equipment is started up
after the maintenance (post-maintenance totalization). Equipment runtime and ON/OFF
count are preset for post-maintenance totalization.
List of all the targets (monitoring equipment) or of the targets reaching the preset runtime
and ON/OFF count can be displayed and manually printed.
Request for extending the air-conditioning operation schedule (ON-time) from the client PC
and from the user terminal Neopanel is stored in Data Storage Server (DSS). Each piece
of request data in DSS can be displayed and printed in the result list. This allows an
operator to constantly obtain and manage the status of air conditioning operation schedule
extended and to effectively control heating/cooling plant equipment.
Request data can be stored in 2 months, and the following lists can be displayed and
printed for effective management.
- Results list: Request result data is displayed and printed in a list. (1 list/1 target
air-conditioning unit)
- Monthly total list: Monthly request result data of each air-conditioning unit is displayed
and printed in a list.
- Past request list: Past request list for a specified period are displayed and printed.
Meter-reading data of tenant utilities (electricity, gas, water, etc.) and overtime running
data of tenant air conditioning are automatically collected and calculated for monthly
charges.

Air-Conditioning Management
savic-net FX provides the most efficient control system with lean management in response to various
air-conditioning control system. Based on the preset environmental conditions including temperature and humidity,
optimum control is performed referring to outside air temperature and humidity, seasonal conditions, and room
conditions. In addition to the preset temperature and humidity, the setpoint entered by an end-user using the user
terminal device and energy-saving cost-saving setting are also the factors to harmonize for the optimum
environmental control.

the calendar information. Schedule information for 1 week (from the current day) is
transmitted to the target remote units including Infilex series controllers. (The connected
remote units actually perform the start/stop operations in accordance with the schedule.)
The earliest startup time and the very last shutdown time are combined among multiple
time schedules to perform effective time program control.
This eliminates the setting operation of the unit with multiple time schedules. (e.g., light in
a shared area)
Multiple pieces of facility equipment perform link control. Link control is also executed in
case that alarm is reported.
Initiation factor of the link control is determined by logical operators AND and OR.
Seasonal information used for energy-saving control and for digital controller control, is
sorted by cooling mode, heating mode, cooling/heating mode, and fan mode. The modes
are switched over on the specified dates. Start/stop operation can be commanded to
equipment on the switchover date.

Table 6. Air conditioning management function (2/2)
Description
When setpoint (target temperature, etc.) needs to be changed for the seasonal
changeover control, setpoint with the switchover date is preset so that setpoint is
automatically changed on a specified date.
In terms of energy saving, electric power driven equipment including air conditioning
units, ventilation fans, and exhaust fans are intermittently operated providing comfortable
temperature environment.
When outdoor air enthalpy is lower than indoor air enthalpy, Infilex AC / Infilex GC uses
outdoor air for cooling. Natural energy thus is effectively used for energy conservation.
Learning algorithm is used for this control, so that room temperature reaches the preset
temperature when the scheduled time for air-conditioning unit startup has come, with the
shortest period of the unit warm-up operation.
As for the unit shutdown time, the unit is shut down ahead of the scheduled time if the
room temperature is determined to satisfy the preset temperature environment until the
scheduled time.
This learning algorithm is applicable to the various conditions. (e.g., room conditions after
a holiday/consecutive holidays.)
Additionally, the optimum start/stop operation schedule of air-conditioning units is linked
to heating/cooling plant equipment, and heating/cooling plant equipment therefore
performs optimum operation.

Heating / Cooling Plant System Management
Wide range of heating/cooling plant equipment is available today including heat pump chiller, turbo refrigerator,
absorption refrigerator, etc. Also there are various piping systems such as close system, district heating and cooling
system, etc.
savic-net FX system offers the various controller systems corresponding to these different types of heating/cooling
plant systems. Highly efficient operation is best suited to energy saving control, not only for heating/cooling plant
equipment but for the supply system.

other heating/cooling plant corresponding to the characteristics of electric refrigerator and chilled water generator is
equipment performed for efficient operation as well as energy saving.
In combination with PARAMATRIX-III Pump Controller, multiple units control and capacity
Multiple units control and capacity control of pumps in parallel are optimally performed based on supply water
control of chilled/hot water pumps temperature/return water temperature/water flow rate/water supply pressure for energy
saving.

Electricity/Lighting Management
For safe and efficient use of electricity,
• Power, current, and power factor are measured.
• Conditions of power receiving and of power inputting to relay, ground fault/leakage, operating status of power
generator are monitored.
• Electricity is overall controlled based on the measured and monitored data, and controlling data is recorded.

Table 8. Electricity/lighting management functions

Function Description
Power consumption per 15 minutes forecasted based on 15-minute moving average is
called ‘demand value’. If the demand value is forecasted to exceed a specified rate, some
of the units in operation, which are preset to shut down, are shut down, and inverter output
value is modified. The actual power consumption thus does not exceed the specified rate.
This function is applicable to the electric power control contracted with your utility
company.

4 systems maximum/system)
Power factor improvement control
(1 system maximum/SCS,
4 system maximum/system)
Power failure/restoration control
Generator load distribution control
(1 system maximum /SCS,
4 systems maximum/system)
Specified power consumption rate of the power demand control can be switched
automatically depending on the seasons and time zones for energy saving control.
The results of the power demand control can be displayed as graphs of daily or monthly
demand values and load for historical data management. Also, the graphs are applicable
to analyze the trend of power usage.
Detailed data for historical data management
- Daily demand value: Demand values for 24 hours are displayed.
- Monthly demand value: Highest demand values of the day for 31 days are displayed.
- Load: Percentage of demand value out of the specified power consumption rate is
displayed.
To improve the decreasing power factor of receiving power due to air conditioning load and
plumbing system operating load, synchronous condenser is turned on and off to control
power factor at the target level.
When power failure occurs, unnecessary alarms are controlled, and the units, which are
preset to start up, are started up. When power is restored, the loads in the system are
controlled for recovery (start output control) so that the unit operation status is the same as
what is supposed to be at that time.
During power failure, units are started up and shut down in the order previously specified in
accordance with the power generator load.

supply pressure from the tank is constant.

Fire Control System Management

Fire control system, which is a sub-system of BMS, is composed of automatic fire alarm receiver, various types of
fire protection equipment, and the like. Building fire control facilities and equipment are monitored, controlled, and
managed for its interlocking operation.
Fire control system is connected with System Management Server (SMS) and other sub-systems. This allows the
fire control system to be monitored and controlled from the client PC and to interlock with other facility equipment.

Table 10. Fire control system management functions

Function Description
Air conditioning units shutdown for When fire is detected in a zone, air conditioning facilities and ventilation facilities in that
fire zone are shut down to prevent the spread of the fire.
Fire alarm reports received by an automatic fire alarm receiver and by a gas leakage
Monitoring receiver are sent to the operator logging on the system via the client PC.
On the client PC display, fire spot is shown in plan and in section of the building.

Neopanel (NP): User Terminal Device
End-users in separate locations (e.g., room residents) can respectively create preferable environment of their own
spaces by setting temperature and humidity, turning on and off their air-conditioning units. The BMS center can
control the end-users operations via Neopanel, on the other hand. The BMS center enables/disables operations
from Neopanel depending on the time zones, sets high and low limits of temperature and humidity, monitors the
Neopanel operations, and saves the Neopanel operation records. Energy used throughout the building is therefore
saved.
Neopanel also indicates outdoor information including wet weather indication.
