Direct Digital Control of Building Systems: Theory and Practice
Direct Digital Control of Building Systems Theory and Practice Author:H. Michael Newman Direct Digital Control Of Building Systems From a brief historical look at the evolution of DDC to some thoughts on the future uses of artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic, this practical new work provides a systematic discussion of the theory and application possibilities of:
Sensors and actuatorsfor temperature, humidity, press... more »ure, flow, and indoor air quality;
DDC hardwareincluding microprocessors, microcomputers, and microcontrollers;
DDC softwareoperating system, utility, and applications software and the methods of configuring DDCs;
The operator-machine interfacefor field devices, workstations, and multivendor displays;
Data communication systems for DDChardware, software, protocols and the ISOs Open Systems Interconnection 7-layer architecture;
BACnetASHRAEs building automation and control networking protocol, from its design philosophy and the communication services it provides, to issues of extensibility, conformance, and specification;
DDC design methodologya complete case study, showing how to build system schematics, I/O and mode summaries, and logic flow diagrams;
DDC implementationissues of design, specification, installation, commissioning, training, and operation and maintenance.
