Using RealTime Control Systems Products, GBC specialises in the development of BMS hardware and software solutions for integrating BMS control systems. GBC has a wide range of experience in the design and use of BMS controls as well as knowledge of a wide range of HVAC systems. In conjunction with RealTime, GBC are particularly focussed on LonWorks systems and has experience in both developing LonWorks based products as well as designing, installing and engineering LonWorks control systems.

Hardware/Products
RealTime has developed a number of LonWorks hardware platforms that are the basis for various different products. A number of products have been developed for interfacing LonWorks systems to various BMS manufacturers products as well as to other HVAC systems such as VRF and DX air-conditioning products. The company has experience in producing custom software for both in-house as well as other manufacturers LonWorks hardware using a variety of different programming tools.

RealTime has experience in working with many BMS and HVAC manufacturers in the development of advanced controls algorithms for application to the monitoring and control of a variety of HVAC systems. Should you have any requirements for development of such systems please contact
Global Building Controls Ltd for further details.

LonWorks Engineering

The company has extensive experience in the design, installation and commissioning of LonWorks BMS solutions incorporating both RealTime and other manufacturers products. The company has consulted on a number of LonWorks projects and is capable of providing detailed design guidance.

RealTime has installed a variety of different types of LonWorks solutions on a large number of sites including

Pure LonWorks solutions, both stand-alone and with LonWorks front-ends

With Dupline-Online you can monitor and control basically any remote facility via the Internet - the only requirement is GSM coverage or Internet access at the remote site or building. For more details on this product, click on the LOGO above.....


As part of the Carlo Gavazzi company, DuplineŽ - the versatile bus for Industrial Applications and Building Automation. Dupline is used for transfering analogue and digital information over distances up to 10 km. It can be used stand-alone or as part of a PLC or BMS based control system. There are no special protocols to learn - all modules are simply and quickly configured with a small hand-held device.

Dupline is used extensively in mining (ventilation, lighting, and conveyor control), elevators (for signal transmission), irrigation systems, water treatment facilities (signal monitoring, control), facility alarm systems, and in building automation (temperature and lighting control, security).

GBC is proud to have been selected as a Dupline Partner. We are also happy to demonstrate some of the products in operation and have incorporated the lighting control products into our Demo/Training room. We have retro-fitted the controls to existing florescent light fittings and have replaced the standard chokes with dimmable ballasts. Using the Dupline product, we have programmed a number of scenes to demonstrate the ease of using the product. This is a cheaper solution than the DALI lighting products and it can also be integrated into a number of BMS products, including Trend Controls.

 

Flexible installation keeps financial markets buzzing
Published: 01 September, 2005

Managing the essential services of large commercial buildings can be daunting at the best of times. Firstly, the large number of systems to be monitored and controlled requires numerous channels of communication between input modules, output modules, and a central control unit. Inputs include switches, light and temperature sensors, control panels and smoke detectors, while output modules are typically relays that control equipment such as lighting, heating or air-conditioning units, fans, boilers, and pumps. Secondly, flexibility is a must, as unforeseen changes and modifications are a fairly common occurrence. Finally, disruptions to a building's operation must be kept to an absolute minimum, as they can incur heavy financial losses.
