BMS system integration with Maxlogic Modbus Modules

Nowadays the number and complexity of electrical and mechanical systems in buildings is increasing as technology develops. Therefore, management of the systems gets harder and the need for central management arises. Building management systems fulfil the need for central management. They can monitor and control many systems such as HVAC, Access control, CCTV, security systems and fire alarm systems.

Building management systems can be used in different types of projects such as industrial facilities, hospitals, shopping malls, business centres, airports and residences. Management of different types of systems from a central point decreases the number of employees and operating costs. In fact, building management systems provide many advantages such as energy efficiency, comfort and security.

All the security systems should be integrated to building management systems so that life and property safety of residents are maintained. We know the importance of integration for a complete security system solution. So, we developed Maxlogic Modbus Modules for fire alarm system integration with building management systems.

With the help of Modbus Module, events in fire alarm systems such as fire alarms, fault alarms etc. can be sent to the building management system via Modbus protocol. Then the building management system can control other systems in the building according to the information taken from the fire alarm system. For example, the building management system can trigger the emergency announce system for evacuation when the signal is sent from fire alarm system. Also, the building management system can send commands to the fire alarm system like reset, silence alarm and silence buzzer.

When there is only one fire alarm control panel, Modbus card can be used instead of Modbus Module. This application provides a more economical and efficient solution for the system.

Fire alarm systems may include multiple control panels – especially in projects that include several buildings. Maxlogic Modbus Module can provide integration of network systems with a maximum 63 control panels. Therefore, Maxlogic addressable fire alarm systems installed in projects that consist of many buildings like universities and residence projects can be integrated to building management systems.

As a result, integration of fire alarm systems with building management systems is crucial for the life and property safety of residents. Maxlogic Modbus Module, which is developed through our 35 years of experience and know-how, provides communication between fire alarm and building management systems, and provides safety in case of fire.
