Vykon HVAC
Vykon HVAC provides a dramatically simplified approach to creating heating, ventilating and air-conditioning control applications within a standard Tridium JACE controller. Powered by the industry-leading NiagaraAX Framework, it speeds up control system engineering whilst ensuring consistency and accuracy of set-up.
The Vykon HVAC system consists of two aspects; the hardware and the software. The Vykon HVAC application program is built on the NiagaraAX Framework and runs on the JACE hardware platform. It is designed to utilise the Vykon HVAC range of I/O modules which are connected to the JACE by an RS485 Modbus network. The Vykon HVAC software is able to automatically recognise each module and configure these with failsafe settings.
For more details on the Vykon HVAC modules go to the Vykon HVAC Modules page.
The Vykon HVAC software consists of a set of software components and a configuration wizard which greatly simplifies the process of creating an HVAC control solution. Both control strategies and the associated graphical visualisations are created automatically by the Vykon HVAC application once the user has entered key information about the plant configuration.
Key Features
- Covers most HVAC applications for heating, cooling and air handling
- Uses proven and sophisticated control algorithms and strategies for a high quality result
- Automatically generated control strategies are consistent and reliable
- Automatically sets up alarms and logging
- Automatically created visualisation graphics in clean and modern 2D representational style
- Plant schematics show status of each item of plant dynamically
- Automatically produces I/O wiring schedules in PDF format
- User manual in PDF format which is stored in the JACE (so can never be lost!)
- Can be easily customised using NiagaraAX engineering to cope with non-standard aspects of a project
- Embedded web-serving avoids need for Supervisory PC on small sites
Benefits
