What is a BMS or Building
Management System?

 Table of Contents
 
In a nutshell, BMS-System otherwise called as
BAS or building automation is computer-based
control system which reduces the workforce,
automate the system, and saving the
energy consumption in buildings by monitoring
and controlling the mechanical and electrical
equipment in modern-day buildings or any
industrial plants.
 

Not only that but BMS helps to

Increasing productivity.
Increase the equipment lifetime and
better performance.
Identify the systems faults earliest.
Manag the hotel tenants in an effective
manner.

 
Nowadays any modern-day buildings built with
BMS to support facilities management to
accomplish the maintenance and save the
energy in the building from one place of
computers.

The sequence of Operation

 Table of Contents
a. Auto Mode:

When the AHU start is in AUTO mode (i.e.

selector switch installed in the MCC must be in
Auto Position), the unit is started and stopped
from the BMS via a time schedule or BMS
override command. When the start for the AHU
is initiated, the control program residing in the
controller follows the following sequence

Start-Up:

The following sequence follows with a preset

time interval per interlock equipment start-up:

1) Check Supply fan trip signal – Normal State

2) Supply Air Damper –Open Position

3) Outdoor Air Damper –Open Position

4) Return Air Damper – Open Position

5) Once the above conditions are satisfied, AHU

is enabled to start in Auto mode or using a plant
enable button on the graphics in manual mode

BMS by the operator. Once enabled, BMS will

6) Supply Fan shall start, and it’s associated

 Table of Contents
Interlock equipment in sequence. Through the
signal from the Diff. Airflow Switch, if airflow is
detected, the System will continuously run, if No
airflow is detected by the DP Switch, the Supply
Fan will de-activated and send an Alarm to the
DDC – for “No Airflow” and shut down the whole
system including its associated interlocks. If the
Airflow switch signal is proved ‘ON’ then BMS
will enable control loops.

b. Shutdown Mode:

When the shutdown command for the AHU is

initiated, the control program residing in the

controller follows the following sequence.

1) Send Stop command to stop the supply fan

2) The outdoor air, return and supply air damper

move to close

3) Move chilled water valve to close position

b. Manual (Hand) Mode:

When the AHU is the manual mode, the fans are

started and stopped from the AHU control panel.

BMS Other control except for fan on/off control shall

System function as per the Auto mode.

c. Fire / Smoke Mode:

 Table of Contents
Fire condition is determined by the Fire Alarm
Control Panel. AHU will automatically shutdowns
the whole system with associated interlocks.

4. AHU Control

The control program, on the feedback of air

handling unit operation, initiates the control

algorithm. This algorithm consists of three

controls. Each temperature, pressure and
ventilation control has its own control loop. The
pressure control loop is used to modulate the
speed of the supply air fan hence supply airflow.
The control loops design to function as per the
following explanation

a. Temperature Control loop:

The supply air temperature installed in the duct

will relay the measured signal(temperature) to
the DDC controller, the DDC controller compares
this signal with set-point (adjustable by the
operator from BMS central) and generates an
analog output to the 2-way modulating cooling
valve. Based on the difference between the two 

BMS values, a proportional-integral program will


System determine the percentage of the cooling coil
valves opening to achieve the desired condition.
The default set-point value for the supply air

 Table of Contents
temperature is 13ºC (Adjustable).

b. Pressure Control loop:

The supply air pressure sensor shall be installed

in the duct  will relay the measured signal (static
pressure) to the DDC controller, the DDC
controller compares this signal with the set-point
(adjustable by the operator from BMS central)
and generates an analog output to the variable
frequency drive (VFD) of the supply air fan.
Based on the difference between the two values,
a Proportional-Integral program will determine
the percentage of the fan speed to achieve the
desired pressure. The set-point value for the
supply air pressure for each AHU shall be
adjusted.

c. Ventilation Control loop:

Demand control ventilation employs return air

carbon dioxide controlling strategy.

A single carbon dioxide sensor sense carbon

dioxide concentration in the return air duct and
sent to the DDC controller, the DDC controller

compares the signals with return air carbon

BMS dioxide concentration (Default carbon dioxide


System level difference value 400 ppm ).

Then DDC controller generates an analogue

 Table of Contents
output to the outside air dampers and returns
air damper to modulate, based on the difference
between the values, the Proportional integral
program will determine the percentage of the
modulation of outdoor and return air dampers.

Minimum outdoor air quantity shall be governed

either by building pressurisation requirement
(Input from Building differential pressure
sensor) or 20% of the Maximum outdoor
demand of the AHU.

5. Alarms:

The following minimum alarms shall be

generated on BMS

1) Filter Dirty Alarm: This is generated when the

pressure drop on each filter exceeds the set
value to indicate dirt accumulate at filters.

2) Fan Trip Alarm: A normally open “NO” volt

free contact at the MCC panel when closed will
generate an alarm at the BMS indicating that the
fan is tripped

BMS 3) Fan Fail: In case the supply air fan fails to


System start or if the differential pressure switch across

the supply fan is not giving the signal according

 Table of Contents
to the command due to any reason then an
alarm shall be generated. In case of a fan fail
alarm on the BMS, due to abnormal behaviour,
the DDC controller will latch the alarm. The
operator has to acknowledge (reset) the alarm
on the BMS once the trouble has been checked
and removed. The operator shall not be able to
start the AHU until the alarm s acknowledged
and reset.

4) Temperature High & Low: Temperature HIGH

and LOW alarms shall be generated if the
supply/return air temperature rises above or
falls below the supply /return air temperature
alarm limit.

A list of Input and output points are

required for the above-discussed sequence
of operation for AHU

Any BMS controllers manufacturer must have

either dedicated controllers or mixing of all types

devices to choose the right transformer rating
for our DDC panel. 

How does DPS value change from NO to NC while using for Filter and
air flow status requirements?

 Table of Contents
Hamza says: Reply 
December 10, 2018 at 8:04 pm

Hi Riyz,

DPS-Differential pressure switch triggers NC to NO when the

differential pressure across the positive tube and a negative
tube is greater than the pressure range set on the DPS.

For Fan, DPS Pressure tube connected after the fan and
negative tube connected before the fan in order to identify fan
running condition, when fan starts to run, the pressure will be
high in positive side and lesser in negative where DPS
differential pressure will be greater than the negative side and
triggers the contact from NC to NO.

For Filter, we need to install positive tube before filter and

negative tube in after filter or the opposite of fan because we
need to signal from DPS when the filter gets dirty or technically
we need signal across filter when pressure builds up before the
filter more than DPS setting range.

Anyhow, let me post separate post to explain both scenarios in

a better way with the graphical presentation as soon as
possible.

Hey Hamza. This was very informative And connected a lot of dot for
me. But I was also looking for tutorials for wiring up an industrial
control panel aswell as the HMI. Plz email me if you have something of
sort as am really hoping on building these panels from scratch in the
near future for my future commercial boiler room installations.

dear Hamza,

there is DO, DI, AI,AO and SP

what the purpose of SP point?

Hamza says: Reply 

October 4, 2020 at 4:26 pm

Hi Hamed,

Except SP you refer here all hardware points which means

physical Input/output points.

Here SP refers SetPoint which created in program called

software points for internal AHU/FCU function/program to give
option for customer to change the AHU setpoint of temperature
