RemoteFlash - Building
Services Engineering
Intelligent building management concepts for
office buildings, shopping mals and as well in
private homes and flats are meant to decrease
energy consumption, raise the security level and
to provide higher comfort and economy of time by
means of process automation and handling.
Cooperating electronic control units meter,
control, diagnose and manage a dynamic overall
status of the considered place, and for that
purpose they exchange data with eachother.
Controllers herein are responsible for the data
flow between control centers, detectors, and
sensors/transmitters.
Modern process control engineering is quite
multifaceted. Elements need control and must be
managed in dependance of eachother may, for
example, be
- lighting installations,
- building services management,
- ventilation and air conditioning systems
(airing, pumps, heating),
- energy schemes (pot. with integrated load
control),
- access control systems and
- burglary prevention devices.
In private home environments room temperatures
could be cut down during the night for cost saving
purposes. Of course, personal use cases must be
observed, e.g. TV sets must be shut down and time
should not be before 22:00 o'clock in the evening
when turning of the heating automatically.
Perfectly timed before wake-up time heating will
be reactivated to provide the desired daytime
temperatur. Of course, this is just an example
that illustrates applications; time-controlled
additional components enlarge the figure,
e.g.
jalousies/blinds (depending on daylight), the
coffee machine (when the shower has been used and
is turned down), phone call rerouting (after
closing the front door), etc.
In property management there are even more
applications for controller systems and their
interworking. E.g. in security systems and energy
management:
Netowrked locking systems and master-keyed systems
may allow allow access for cleaning service personal
by fingerprint only plus restrictions to certain
certain time frames and allowance for particular
parts of a buildings/rooms. Sensors at windows and
doors inform about status and status changes in
their positions; closing or opening may invoke
defined actions automatically. In cases of an alarm
complex process chains will be activated.
Overloads in the energy cycle are prevented by
feedback control of all connected appliances, and
freezes might be managed in their energy consumption
depending on the time period back to the last
opening event and the current filling level. |

Building engineering is a complex task that nowadays
incorporates a modular and extendable network of
interworking controller units. Often high costs for
maintenance are raised in such complex networks
where each component must rely on the others. All
control units more or less dependent on others, and
it is most important to have all controllers fulfill
the latest state of the art. Thus, it is a clearly
understood demand that controllers must be updated
to new, corrected software on demand. New formal
definitions may require changes on the controllers
as well. And so, this maintenance process typically
takes a lot of money for technical personal on side.
The adisoft solution for SmartHome and SmartBuilding
applications enables mobile software distribution to
real-time controller networks by means of a special
and secure wireless data transmission mechanism.
Concurrent and "silent" software updates can be run
and controlled by a central backoffice update unit
for all concerned controller devices. No technical
service is required on-site any more. The delivery
of the software updates is carried out via some
available wide-area network, e.g. available cable
networks and/or mobile and wireless networks like
WiFi, WiMAX, UMTS/HSDPA, GPRS, CDMA2000 or
GSM. The design of this innovative remote
maintenance solution based on mobile networks covers
all specific requirements from highly secured data
transfer up to real-time flash updates and roll-back
to earlier software releases in case of errors
during automatic system checks.
