Digital twin
AIRWATERENERGY
Building example

Plant room and AHU, valve by valve.

Polyvalent heat pump, storage tanks, three-way valves and an air handling unit with heat recovery wheel, coils, humidifier and inverter-driven fans. Here you see control loops, sequences, energy and forecast with simulated data; one second is one minute.

With AI machine learning forecasts heating and cooling demand, optimises sequences and flags degrading valves, filters and heat recovery in good time.

Control loops · in the AHU controller, read by Link

Control runs in the AHU controller: the Suite reads the measured value, setpoint and output of every loop, stores and shows them. If a loop oscillates or stays saturated, you see it here.

Sequence —

    The controller runs the sequence; Studio triggers it from the time schedule or a button and logs every step.

    In full heat recovery, the heat taken from the air by the cooling coil goes into the hot tank: reheat comes almost for free.

        Devices in Link

        • Polyvalent heat pump · Modbus TCP
        • AHU controller · BACnet/IP
        • Fan inverters (2) · Modbus TCP
        • Energy meters (3) · Modbus TCP
        • Room sensors · BACnet/IP

        Link reads the controller, heat pump, inverters and meters and makes them available to Studio.

        Anomalies · Datathesys Cloud

        —

        Studio sends the data to Datathesys Cloud, which compares days and flags unusual behaviour.

        Time schedule, control loops and heat pump applied to the forecast weather.

          What the Building vertical does

          AHU and heat pump equipment models: tags, pages and rules together. The second AHU is a copy of the first with a different address.

          Control loops under watch: value, setpoint and output stored, with an alert when a loop oscillates or stays saturated.

          Sequences and time schedules: start and stop triggered from Studio, every step logged.

          Energy: kWh per machine, measured COP and EER, energy recovered by the wheel and the polyvalent unit.

          Condition-based maintenance: filters, running hours and defrosts, with the expected date of the next replacement.

          BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP in Link, anomaly detection with Datathesys Cloud and Operator from anywhere.
