How it works
Automated Integration Systems are Software created by automation integrators which allow devices to communicate with each other, as well as collecting and reporting data or feedback. These are becoming more commonly installed in construction projects due to societal advancements in technology and the industry’s adaptation to faster, simpler systems.
In large commercial buildings, a Building Management System (BMS) is often installed to monitor the internal environment of the building and adjust various components to maintain an optimum internal environment.
BMS Compatibility
A building management system (BMS), otherwise known as a building automation system (BAS), is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that control and monitor the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems.
OWT’s electric gearing is compliant with these systems and each unit possesses different levels of integrational capabilities.
All of our electric units are capable of being connected to pre-existing home automation system, or Building Management Systems (BMS). These integrated systems vary in levels of control, communication and feedback required from gearing.
Compatible Units
The following units are able to be connected the any BMS or AIS system and perform as dictated by the software.
- TOPP chain drives
- Nekos Chain Drives
- WindowMaster
- Interlock
- Electric Shaft & Lever
Window Master Motor Link
The new patented MotorLink™ technology was developed by WindowMaster to create a new standard for an interface between BMS systems and window actuators. This technology enables precise, two-way communication with every single window actuator in the building.
The functions of this new technology are;
- Digital data communication to every single window actuator.
- Precise control and actuator feedback
- Three-speed actuator operated
- Genuine synchronisation between multiple actuators on the same windows
- Reducing risk of entrapment when closing via Pressure safety function
- Reversing function to protect weather seals
- Fault indication
- Online parameter set up
If the BMS requires position feedback or wants to communicate between the BMS and the actuators then the WindowMaster chain drive and electric linear actuators are your best option.
