Features
Operability
From data point in the graphic display, you can simply jump to trend graphs and schedules. Besides, you can easily access
to the desired information with various filtering function.
Real time information including alarms and status change of a facility can be displayed/stored/output in data format.
Desired information can be retrieved by filtering function and modified by comment writing function anytime you want.
Using the Management Integration Server or System Management Server as the control tower, consolidation and
transmission of various information in the building are performed. Necessary information can be retrieved anytime, by
anyone, and from anywhere.
The settings (ON/OFF) of AHU and lightings can be made from the PC terminal of the end-users (e.g., residents). Outdoor
information such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall is indicated (displayed) all the time to inform the indoor users of the
outdoor conditions.
Alarms reported to client PC can be sent to a mobile phone via e-mail or Short Message Service. You, even away from the
building, are therefore notified of the alarms. And, you are always accessible to the BMS from anywhere by using mobile
PC (client PC).

Safety/reliability
Modularized system with autonomous distributed control ensures reliability and easy maintenance.
Communication via BACnet protocol allows to integrate various building facilities into savic-net FX BMS without interface.
Management Integration Server (MIS), System Management Server (SMS), and Data Storage Server (DSS) are specially
developed for savic-net FX BMS. Other than a built-in high-reliability hard disk, in the event of a power failure, a built-in
battery for backup supplies power until MIS, SMS and DSS are properly shut down.
Management Integration Server (MIS), System Management Server (SMS), and Data Storage Server (DSS) are applicable
to redundancy. And, 48-hour data of the points are saved in System Core Server (SCS) so that the data will not be lost in
case that SMS or DSS is in trouble or shuts down.
3 direct input terminals (fire alarm, power supply status, power generator switch) are provided in System Core Server (SCS).
This assures data acquisition and system recovery in case of a power failure.

Environment-friendly technology
savic-net FX promotes printer-less and paper-less to contribute the resource saving.

Table 2. Products overview

Product name Overview
Although client PC is basically installed in the center room to supervise the whole building, it can be
installed anywhere as long as the location is suitable for network connection. It supervises the
following features:
- Monitoring: status, alarms, and measurement of each facility
- Operation: remote ON/OFF control
Client PC
- Data output: operating status, alarm status, and measuring data
- Data analysis: operating status, alarm status, and measuring data
Client PC can be installed in multiple locations (up to 5 client PCs) so that several operators in
different locations can supervise the building. (e.g., supervising in the building and in the fire control
center at the same time.)
Primary collected data in SCS is stored in MIS as BMS base data. In addition to information process,
Management Integration Server data for daily/monthly/yearly report and for trend graphs are collected, stored, and processed in MIS.
(MIS) MIS distributes data to display, set, and control the BMS management information (point information,
program, etc.) using the Web browser software of the client PC.
Data Storage Server Primary collected data in SCS is stored as BMS base data. In addition to information process, data
(DSS) for daily/monthly/yearly report and for trend graphs are collected, stored, and processed in DSS.
SMS distributes data to display, set, and control the BMS management information (point
System Management Server (SMS)
information, program, etc.) using the Web browser software of the client PC.
SCS is provided in response to the size of the building, the facilities (equipment), and contents to
supervise. SCS collects various management information from the remote units and transmits
System Core Server
information to SMS. The collected data is stored for a certain period of time. SCS also performs
(SCS)
different types of integrated control including energy saving. Since SCS performs autonomous
distributed control, it continues the operation even if another part of the system is shut down.
EDS collects point data (digital, analog, and totalized points) from BMS and saves as database. The
Energy Data Server
database is totaled for daily/monthly/yearly/year unit reports to illustrate energy consumption and
(EDS)
operating status in graphs and graph data.
Infilex series controllers are digital controllers of the respective types of terminal units.
Since the Infilex controllers perform autonomous distributed control, they continue normal operation
even if another part of the system is accidentally shut down.
Infilex controllers communicate with the client PC via SCS. They receive, for example, the setting
changes from the client PC and transmit the control data (result value) to the client PC.
Following models of Infilex controllers are available:
Intelligent controllers:
- Infilex AC: AHU controller
Infilex series and PARAMATRIX-III
- Infilex GC: Multipurpose controller
- Infilex GD: Multipurpose (status, alarms, measuring, etc.) data collecting unit
- Infilex VC: VAV controller
- Infilex FC: FCU controller
- Infilex SC: Simple AHU controller
- PMX-III (PARAMATRIX-III): Chiller controller/pump controller
Operator in a room can set and change temperature and humidity, start and stop AHU, and
Neopanel
reschedule the AHU operation to extend the operating time.

Distribution Control System

Features
Risk distribution
The remote units (also called controllers and sub-controllers) in charge of operating and controlling BMS facilities and
equipment peform autonomous distributed control. Their performance therefore is hardly affected during periodic
maintenance or even when a trouble occurs at a part of the BMS, ensuring high control reliability.
Expandability
Since system configuration is flexibly designed and modified in response to applications and size of a building, initial
investment of the system configuration and cost for future sytem expansion are reduced.
In addition, platform computer for monitoring and controlling the system (client PC) does not require any specific
manufacturer or model. That is, your PC can be client PC as long as Web-browser software is installed.
User-friendly system
SCS (System Core Server), provided not only per building facility/equipment but per section/floor of a building, allows you to
easily check the operating status of each facility and equipment as well as the overall system configuration.

Vertical distribution and horizontal distribution

Vertical distribution control:
The vertical distribution of savic-net FX consists of the following 4 levels:
Integrated management Data management Management and control separated by systematic group
Individual control.
The data in the lower level of the system (sub system) is collected by the upper level (host system) so that the whole system
delivers the highest performance.
Each level performs autonomous distributed control. This prevents the whole system from being affected when a trouble occurs
at a part of the system.
Horizontal distribution control:
In terms of horizontal distribution, the whole savic-net FX system is separated not only per building facility (HVAC, electricity,
fire control, and security) but per floor/section of a building, and the remote units (controllers and sub-controllers) are arranged to
these separated sections.
Each remote unit performs autnomous distributed control. This prevents the whole system from being affected when a trouble
occurs at a part of the system.

Functional distribution
In savic-net FX system, for safety, controllability, and operability, the functions (collection of measuring data and operating
status, collection and report of alarm data, data storage, management and control per group, and individual control) are
optimally distributed to the respective units in each level.
Optimum distribution of control functions:
The control functions are distributed to the lower level of the system (sub-system). Each level is further divided in accordance
with the control type (control of a separate remote unit OR control of a systematic group including multiple remote units). This
ensures safety, harmony between remote units and facilities, and controllability of the overall system.
Optimum distribution of monitoring and management functions:
Management Integration Server (or System Management Server and Data Storage Server) achieves both management and
monitoring functions that contain different requirements for real-time operation.

Fire Control System Management

Fire control system, which is a sub-system of BMS, is composed of automatic fire alarm receiver, various types of fire protection
equipment, and the like. Building fire control facilities and equipment are monitored, controlled, and managed for its interlocking
operation.
Fire control system is connected with System Management Server (SMS) and other sub-systems. This allows the fire control
system to be monitored and controlled from the client PC and to interlock with other facility equipment.
Note: Management Integration Server (MIS) may be used instead of System Management Server (SMS) and Data Storage Server (DSS)
for your system.

Neopanel (NP): User Terminal Device

End-users in separate locations (e.g., room residents) can respectively create preferable environment of their own spaces by
setting temperature and humidity, turning on and off their air-conditioning units. The BMS center can control the end-users
operations via Neopanel, on the other hand. The BMS center enables/disables operations from Neopanel depending on the
time zones, sets high and low limits of temperature and humidity, monitors the Neopanel operations, and saves the Neopanel
operation records. Energy used throughout the building is therefore saved.
Neopanel also indicates outdoor information including wet weather indication.
