EMDBs, MDBs, ATS, Fire Alarm Control Panel, Security System Panel and FM200
System Panel on the other hand.
Practically, the building management system of this project consists of a Main BMS
controller room, located in the Control Room of QQ01 Building. The BMS control
room consists of both the BMS workstation and the Network Automation Engine
(NAE) enclosure:
The BMS workstation, consisting of a desktop computer, can give access to the data
of each of the Building Levels and Parking Levels. The NAE enclosure, on the other
hand, consists of three (3) Network Automated Engines that manage facilities using
information and Internet technology. The NAE uses the BACNet network to monitor
and supervise Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment, lighting,
and third party systems. In addition the NAE devices provide monitoring and control,
alarm and event management, data exchange, trending, energy management,
scheduling, and data storage.
Each NAE is connected through the BACNet (BACNet Network) cable to all the
BACNet controllers which are spread across the building levels in panels that we
refer to as the Data Gathering Panels (DGP).These BACNet controllers in turn are
connected to the different sensors and volt free contacts that consists the core of the
information the BMS system is monitoring and controlling.
The purpose of this document is to break down and detail the whole procedure of
testing and commissioning of the Building Management System of The Pearl Qanat Quartier (Apartment) J46.
Consequently, the BMS team progressively inspects all BMS device installation,
cable pulling and termination, installation of data gathering panels, point to point
checking, calibration of devices, system sequence of operation, integration on the
workstation level and fine tuning of the complete system.
In addition to the different levels that this document describes, a list of references of
all the designs and shop drawings is attached to this document along with samples
of each checklist and forms needed in order to achieve the Building Management
System of The Pearl Qanat Quartier QQ01 Building (Apartment) J46.

DESIGN PARAMETERS

Specification Reference

The specifications for mechanical, electrical and plumbing services that apply to the
building management system are described in the document: The Pearl, DP/10
Qanat Quartier Design Basis Report-Mechanical.
The building management system has been designed in a way to comply with all the
specification of the above document from all point of views: Field level, Automation
level and Management level.
3.1.1 Field Level
The controller FX16 Master Controller that Energy International supplies,
comply with the MEP Services Specifications since it possess the following
feature:
The FX16 is a protocol independent controller and can adapt to protocols
such as BACNET.
The FX16 allows up to 27 inputs / outputs with the additional possibility to
expand its I/O count through the standard XT / XP modules
The FX16 is freely programmable
The FX16 has a real time clock which allows introducing functions based
on a weekly time schedule
The FX16 is compatible with standard BAS (Building Automation System)
protocols, adaptable to any application and has a wide range of sensors
input available
Fully programmable using FX Tools package
DIN rail mounting

3.1.2 Automation Level


The BACNet is thus compatible with the automation level specifications
since the FX16 chosen for this project is fitted with a BACNet
communication card. This card enables the FX16 controllers to pass data
from one to another and to send event-initiated data to the Network
automation engine in the METASYS System or to any other, off the shelf,
BACNet supervisory system. Thanks to the BACNet features the FX16
controllers have network input and output points which can be configured
to transmit and receive data over the BACNet Bus. The transmission of
point data is managed by the BACNet network and is independent from
the supervisory functions of the METASYS Network Automation Engine. A
network of FX16 controllers, fitted with the BACNet communication card,
can be installed to share analog and digital data between controllers on a
peer-to-peer basis; a Network Automation Engine is not required unless
the network is to be supervised by a METASYS system.
Complex control strategy may now be performed in multiple FX16
controllers without the need for network data exchange routines in a
supervisory controller.
Moreover the FX16 controllers chosen for this project are UL listed and
comply with the temperature range as well as the memory required. In
addition each of these controllers is equipped with a socket for connecting
a commissioning service and has the required features as mentioned
above in the field level.
3.1.3 Management Level
The management level also goes along with the specification since each
part of the management level has the requested specification. The
management level is made of the following items:
Network Automation Engine (NAE) manages facilities using information
and Internet technology and uses the communication technologies of the
building automation industry, including BACnet protocol, BACNETS
network, and the N2 Bus to monitor and supervise Heating, Ventilating,
and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment, lighting and third party
equipment. A single NAE or a network of multiple NAE devices within a
building provide monitoring and control, alarm and event management,
data exchange, trending, energy management, scheduling, and data
storage.

The building management system uses the Application and Data Server
(ADS) as a software management tool. The Application and Data Server
is the point of access into the building automation network and handles
the archiving of historical and configuration data. The ADS capabilities
include user graphics, alarm and event management, trend data
presentation, system summaries, reports, schedule configuration and
system security. The ADS is a scalable platform that serves multiple
concurrent users that are connected with a Web browser. The ADS
manages the long-term storage of trend data, event messages, operator
transactions, and system configuration data. As Site Director, the ADS
provide secure communication to a network of Network Automation
Engines (NAEs). The ADS Web browser interface can be used to define
and modify online the METASYS system database
The System Configuration Tool (SCT) is included in the ADS software
package. It is used to create or modify databases in an offline mode, then
to download them to the appropriate devices.
The METASYS user interface (UI) is web-enabled and provides a
powerful framework for navigating through the entire BMS, displaying
data, sending commands, and bringing critical information to the attention
of the operator. The user interface takes full advantage of the ADS
capabilities.
The integration of Information Technology (IT) and Internet
communication and security technologies enables the ADS to be used
within the existing networking infrastructure of buildings and enterprises.
The ADS can be accessed by multiple Web browsers from any location
on the network, and enterprise systems can read the data in the ADS
database for business planning and energy management purposes.
The building management system workstation will consist of the latest
Pentium Desktop computer with the latest options and best specification
which will exceed the specification given in the MEP Service
Specification.

Motor Control Centre Design


The building management system design cannot be right without the detail of
all the Motor Control Centre (MCC). These MCC give a list of all the
equipment to which they provide power. These MCC details of connection
are important since the BMS data gathering panel design is based on the
equipment MCC location rather than on the equipment location alone.

COMMISSIONING / TEST PROCEDURES


The commissioning of the BMS is divided into three successive phases.

6.1

Data Gathering Panel power test


The data gathering panel power test must be done after we make sure that
the pre-commissioning forms, of the concerned DGP, have all been filled and
signed.
The power test procedure consists of:
Checking that the ground cable of the DGP is connected
Opening the 24VAC fuse of each controller of the DGP concerned
Requesting for power from CONSPEL person in charge
Checking the main power 230VAC on the supply of the DGP using a
multi-meter
Checking the low current 24VAC supply from the panel transformer
using the multi-meter
Closing all the 24VAC fuses of the panel
Checking the low current 24VAC supply to each controller and
extension module
Upon the testing of these points, the top part of the checklist, EIC-FTC-XX001/002/003 (where XX is the name of the building) in Appendix-E, must be
filled.

Field devices/points commissioning tests


This part consists of the testing of both, the correct function of each field
device/point and the testing of the correct interpretation of its signal at the
DGP.
This procedure takes place after downloading the Input / Output program to
the controller and opening the commissioning software.
Refer to the list below, to find the proper way of commissioning each kind of
field device / point.
1.1

Binary or Digital Input

1. Choose one point


2. If the point is operational (ex: auto/manual switch that can be rotated) then
physically alternate its state from the field
3. Check on the commissioning screen of the laptop is any value is
alternating state
4. If yes, check that the software name of this software point coincide with
the field point we are testing
5. If the point indication is impossible to change, it can be simulated manually
(this is done in general for all faults and alarms) and the same steps (3 &
4) are continued
6. If the point is not operational, simulate a binary switch at the unit and label
Not Operational.
7. If the binary input comes from a sensor, check the list below for more
details in testing and commissioning.

1. Verify proper interfacing device is installed. (e.g. Relay)
2. With power OFF at controlled devices , ensure the interfacing device
responds to a Software / Manual command. The software command
comes from the commissioning software where as the manual command
can be done by applying a jumper on the coil of the relay.
3. Note that the device has been verified by making a check against the
device on the appropriate commissioning documentation. (See AppendixE, checklist EIC-FTC-XX-001/002/003).
6.2.3 Analogue Input
1. Measure the actual input variable.
2. Check the value read on the commissioning tool, and verify that it
corresponds to the measured one
3. Check that the unit on the commissioning software point is matching the
parameter we are checking.
4. Check that the input we are reading has a logical sense and does not fall
out of common sense range.
5. If the analogue input comes from a sensor, check the list below for more
details in testing and commissioning.
6. Note that the input has been verified by making a check against the sensor
on the appropriate commissioning documentation. (See Appendix-E,

INTERFACE PROCEDURE
The interface procedure is the step during which the data of the field devices
is presented in the web browser of the BMS workstation.
This procedure for this particular project is divided into two parts.
The BACNETs controllers (FX-16)
In order to proceed to the interfacing of BACNET and N2, we need to set up
the workstation computer and initialize the Network Automation Engines.
These two procedures checklists are included in Appendix-J.

7.2

BACNET interface
7.2.1. Field devices and points
The BACNETs controllers (FX16) of this project monitor and control most of
the systems. The interface points of each system are hardwired to the
different data gathering panels (DGP) spread in strategic location across the
whole project.
The input / output points of one system is different from another. Please find
in Appendix-J a list including all types of systems with their respective input /
output points going to and from the building management system.
The pre-commissioning testing and commissioning of these hardwired points
is done through the checklists already presented in Appendix-D and
Appendix-E.
7.2.2. BACNET integration
Once the testing and commissioning completed, the controllers are said to be
in standalone mode. This means that no network is connecting them to a
supervisory system. In order to have the complete input / output list shown on
the workstation and in order to be able to send and receive commands and
values, we need a supervisory system. The supervisory system is made of the
Network Automated engine (NAE). Consequently in order to monitor and
control the field points from the BMS workstation, we need to complete the
BACNET integration of the controllers with the NAE. In addition, the input /
output points of these controllers must be mapped into the METASYS system.
The riser diagram in Appendix-I Bus Network Riser Diagram Layout shows
the layout of the three trunks of BACNET cables. Each of the BACNET bus
originates from a different NAE. All two NAEs are in the same panel in the
QQ01 BMS control room. The BACNET cable connects all the Data Gathering
Panels of the same building in a daisy chain to end up at the last Data
gathering panel on the roof of each building. The integration of the BACNET
controllers in addition to their point mapping to the METASYS system is done
per NAE.

DEMONSTRATION PROCEDURES

After the interface part is completed we can see the field data represented on a user
friendly graphical interface and we can say that the BMS workstation is ready for
use. A simplified demonstration procedure can begin in the main BMS control room.
The client or client representative (which will be determined later) can come to the
control room and check in different ways the work accomplished:
9.1

Quantity check
The quantity check confirms to the client that the BMS system is complete.

We provide the client representative with a list of all systems that have to be
interfaced with the BMS (this list is still not final since all third party systems
are not yet finalized)

The client representative heads up to the main BMS control room

The client representative checks that each kind of systems from the list can
be viewed on the BMS workstation

The client representative checks that each kind of systems from the list can
be accessed from the BMS workstation

The client representative checks that all items from each kind of system are
shown on the BMS workstation

9.2

Point to point check


The point to point check confirms that each piece of equipment has been
integrated to the BMS system in the proper way
The client representative can check that:

Each kind of equipment can be accessed on the BMS workstation

Each kind of equipment has all the required BMS points(refer to AppendixD,
checklist Ref: EIC-CP-XX-001/002/003)

The readings of all points are a correct reflection of the site parameters

Sequence of operation check


The sequence of operation check is the final part that confirms the good
operation of each kind of mechanical or electrical equipment.

The client representative can reproduce, from the operator workstation, each
step of the form sequence of operation (Refer to Appendix- F, checklist Ref:
EIC-STC-001)

The client representative can check in the same time that the sequence
performed on the screen of the workstation is exactly what is happening on
site.

9.4 Fine tuning of the sequence


The NAE software has been designed specifically to meet the need of the
building owners and managers to efficiently monitor and control all the
mechanical and electrical systems in a typical building. The different features
of the software provide a guaranty to the client that the system is performing
as he require.
The Alarm and Event messages sent by the NAE and stored on the server
can be viewed at any time to trace the history of alarms and events on the
site. (See Figure-3)

The trending of any monitored value at user-defined periods ranging from a


few seconds to one week is useful for analyzing the performance of building
control systems and locating the source of system problems. (See Figure-4)

Figure-4: TRENDING

The scheduling feature allows the user to define building occupancy periods
and the start and stop times for mechanical or electrical equipment. Operating
parameters such as temperature set points and power consumption limits can
be set according to the time of day. (See Figure-5)

Thanks to the multiple features of the NAE, the Building Management System
will be closely recording all the responses of different systems. An unwanted
response (slow, illogical, alarm, system did not start) or an unwanted value
(temperature too high, pressure too low) will be taken care of by the project
engineer that will proceed with the fine tuning of the sequences, control
modules, conversionsthat will lead to a satisfying workable system.
