A building management system (BMS) is a computer-based control system that manages the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, security and other systems in a building. The BMS is programmed to meet the needs of the occupants and the environment, and can be controlled manually or automatically. The BMS includes hardware and software that collect data from sensors and devices in the building, and then uses this data to control the systems.
The interface between the BMS and the devices it controls is important to ensure that the BMS works correctly. The interface definition should include all of the information needed by the BMS to control a device, including: -Device type -Location -Inputs -Outputs -Device settings By having a clear interface definition, the BMS can be used to its full potential and provide a comfortable and safe environment for occupants.
