BMS Interfaces

By Anonymous -


BMS (Building Management Systems) are systems for the integrated management of all the technological functions of a building, including access control, safety, fire detection, lighting, intelligent elevators, Air-Conditioning, etc.
The development of these systems has meant that control systems made by different companies often need to be connected together, and consequently and consequently not only is a common electrical standard required, but also a common language, or communication protocol. 
The resulting advantages of such solutions (simpler and more efficient management of the building from a single control station, reduction in running costs, possibility of statistical analysis of all data, immediate identification of and response to faults and alarms, etc..) amply justify any extra cost of the individual devices.
Today, then, not only are the quality and the reliability of the instruments important, but also the degree of external connectivity they can offer.

Carel has always designed its controls to communicate with other systems, and has constantly followed the evolution of technology in the communications sector.
For this reason, Carel controllers, both parametric and programmable, can now:

  • Be integrated into systems consisting of instruments made by different manufacturers, with which they share information:

  • Be managed remotely via modem and via Internet, even by simply using a browser;

  • Inform authorised personnel, wherever they may be, of any alarm situations, including by SMS message.

“Proprietary” protocols, that is, those developed separately by individual companies, are now being replaced by “independent“ standard protocols promoted by international organisations. Nonetheless, a single dominant standard has yet to emerge, and for this reason Carel offers a wide range of solutions that allow its controllers to be connected to the main BMS currently available. With its two new products WebGATE and PlantVisor, Carel can also interface its controllers to Ethernet™/TCP-IP networks, allowing the use of technology developed for the Internet for the transmission and display of the data.

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen! Picture the scene, you've just downloaded a fresh new piece of software onto a controller but rather than the a new interface, you're met with a big fat 'NO LINK' message on the display. Or maybe you've just ran a factory reset to default settings and have come up against the same issue?  These are all possible causes for the common problem encountered by many of our customers, deemed the 'NO LINK' screen! (capitals for emphasis) As well as the two already mentioned, other common causes of the issue are a result of: A faulty connection between the Controller and the Display A faulty Controller  In any case, this issue is relatively simple to fix and our Managing Director, Stefano - having been in the Industry for 15+ years - has put together a video guide on how to do so. Watch the video below to see how to overcome the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!   www.i-acs.co.uk

Cold Rooms for food storage

By Anonymous -

Food storage uses various procedures that vary based on duration: Refrigeration, if the food must be stored for a short period of time (0…7 ° C). Freezing, deep freezing and lyophilisation (freeze drying) if it must be stored for long periods. When deep freezing the product it must reach a temperature of -18 ° C in less than 4 hours while for regular freezing the product can take more than 4 hours to reach -18 ° C. During lyophilisation the product is dried following a forced evaporation of the water component of the product. In the food industry, refrigeration is one of the most delicate and complex applications because food requires treatment at different temperatures depending upon the processing phase. Refrigeration slows the growth of bacteria on food. The technique is based on the extremely quick and intense action performed by the cold temperature that allows the organoleptic qualities of the food to be kept intact, prolonging storage time. Systems...
