Hello all,
What is your thoughts about implementing BMS systems using PLCs and SCADA.
We did a couple of projects like that with success.
I also see a lot of examples or case studies from various PLC vendors (ABB, Siemens) where they use PLCs for buildings. Recently I came across an application example of a S7-1200 and DALI controllers.
I personally dislike pure BMS solutions mostly because (at least in my country) the market is very closed and the BMS solutions are given only to registered partners. As the market share is small nowadays in Greece, companies are not very fond of making new partners.
I understand that pure BMS systems may have "Special algorithms" for lighting control and HVAC, but what cannot be done with PLCs nowadays?
Regards
