standard operating system for real time control of
system interactions, including database information requests/transfers
by system hardware or by operators. Operating system shall also have
the following additional capabilities (given operator has appropriate
security access level):
- Display any
database (point) value including measured values,
controlled variables, set points, gain factors, and any other
adjustable parameter.
- Change or
override any database value.
- Error
detection, correction, re-transmission of database values, arithmetic
or logical faults.
- Alarm reporting
including sending alarms to remote workstations on network or by modem.
- Alarm buffer to
retain all alarms in order of importance without losing any alarms.
- Creating and
displaying historical trend logging any value limited only by available
memory.
- Create new
variable database values (soft points) based on arithmetic
calculation (including summation or totalizing) on other database
values.
- Add new
hardware points without overall BAS shutdown.
- All
hardware/software to update database in less than 1 second for
fast-acting control loops such as pressure control, air or water volume
control, and air handling unit temperature control, or 10 seconds or
less for all other control loops.
