TcBA PLC library

By using the TcBA library, all PLC programs, including the central heating plant, the air conditioning plant and the room automation functions can be programmed with TwinCAT PLC Control and are then available as function blocks within the building automation library.

The object-oriented encapsulation of the building automation functions offers the following benefits:

• Fast creation of system programs.
• Fast parameterization and commissioning of the systems.
• Guarantee of a very large range of system functions at all times.
• Transparency of programs (prerequisite for long-term maintainability and expandability of the systems).
• Once created, good reusability of templates for systems or system subassemblies.
• Easy training of staff.
• Straightforward extension and modification of existing systems.
• Specifications for a clear, object-oriented structure for the creation of visualization objects in MMI and SCADA systems.
• Programs are easier to document.
