PC-based control for intelligent control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems

The control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems is very important in building automation, both concerning the well-being of the user and the reduction of energy consumption as well as in protecting the building itself. Alongside the standard hardware portfolio for integration of all data points, Beckhoff provides the software tool TF8040 TwinCAT 3 Building Automation that covers the entire scope of functions of an intelligent HVAC control system.

The TwinCAT 3 Building Automation software library offers programmers and users the following benefits: efficient parameterization and commissioning, a consistently high level of system functionality, good readability and expandability of programs, ease of maintenance over many years, flexible expandability of systems, improved reusability of templates for plants or plant aggregates modules, easy training of service personnel, definition of a clear, object-oriented program structure, and good documentability of programs.
