A generic framework for life-cycle-management of heterogenic building automation systems
The ongoing development of technologies has in recent years lead to a significant increase in the available technical equipment of private as well as commercial buildings, which makes a computerized monitoring and control of mechanical, electrical and energy systems, possible. Known as building automation products and systems that lead to a significant improvement of individual life, safety and working conditions are all combined in this term. With the introduction of building automation techniques like function cycles in systems automatically enforced according to preset parameters make the servicing and monitoring easier. However, products from different manufacturers have to work in any combination with each other, this is very beneficial for customers, butfrom the perspective of manufacturers and system integrators it poses major problems. The reason for this is the heterogeneity of the products and the difficulty to implement interoperability. During the life cycle of a building it comes repeatedly to changes in the buildings technology for example. This begins with the planning phase and goes on to the commissioning and the continued use of buildings, the space requirements change, leading to a new configuration of the initial automation and manual intervention within the different levels of communication is necessary. Such changes are particularly burdensome especially when a large number of different components from different systems are affected, resulting in a considerable requirement of resources due to the multiple entry of data, inconsistency and incomplete documentation because ofknowledge islands. Thus even small changes evolve to complex reconfigurations. The following article deals with a software framework that outlines this problem and allows major simplifications in the administration and modification of complex spatial configurations in the building automation. It shows how digital 2D building plans can be evaluated so that geometric data contained on automation components are automatically read-out so that they can be managed with total control from the central framework.
