Room automation
4.3
Examples of application
In addition to the right selection of components, the architectural structure and the basic concept play a decisive role. There are many
possibilities and approaches for implementing room automation. However, there is no “single” solution for all areas of application.
Depending on the purpose, the choice of the best concept will vary. Some approaches and features:
Example of a room box for hotel rooms:
Fully pre-assembled, easy commissioning and replaceable if defective.
For example the operation of a conference room:
Each browser and every mobile device can now serve
as a control station. Each room is thereby represented
accurately and shows each user group only what it
requires.
Networked room automation
Full networking of all plants and services is increasingly
required. One example of application is that the cooling
requirement (HVAC service) in summer can be reduced with
controlled blinds (electrical plant). All plants also only require a
single control unit rather than several different devices.
A web-based control concept can be created using Saia PCD
including Web + IT functionalities. This can be used
subsequently for commissioning, operation and service.
Room boxes
These are ideal if the rooms or their applications are largely
identical and/or are numerous, i.e. in hotels and office rooms.
The boxes are manufactured and tested prior to installation in
accordance with the requirements. The commissioning can
thereby be 100% planned and controlled based on the
installation time. Only the mounting, connection (usually with
finished cable), testing, etc. is carried out on site. …
The simple and efficient maintenance and servicing of the
system is also possible. The plug-in system of box A ensures
quick and seamless “plug & play” installation
and replacement. Servicing is less time-
consuming. POM for commissioning and
servicing.
Room automation with distributed intelligence
Components are distributed throughout the floor or room.
These are also installed where they are needed, i.e. the controller
for the shade system located near the blinds. The cabling
takes less time, the devices also function independently
(= secure operation).
Room automation from a central point
A sub-distribution per floor or section supplies several rooms.
The control of lighting with DALI for several rooms would be a
practical example of application. More cabling is involved with
this variant. However, all components are located at a central
point, which makes maintenance work more efficient.
