Room automation

Room automation is integrated into the automation level.

The automation stations for room automation in TwinCAT Building Automation also consist of Beckhoff IPCs.

The choice and number of Beckhoff IPCs depends heavily on the building automation requirements.

Due to the extraordinarily high computing power of the IPCs, it is possible to automate very large areas up to an entire floor with a single IPC. Sensors and actuators at field level can be recorded using remote fieldbus couplers. This reduces the cabling effort and also the fire load.

Subsystems such as DALI for illumination can also be integrated into the fieldbus couplers and distributed throughout the floor.

If necessary, a floor can be divided into several areas. The areas are then each controlled by a smaller, separate IPC.
