The Building Management System Trainer PolarX - 568 is a small lab scale model for studying intelligent building automation. This Building Management System Trainer covers climate, humidity, temperature, fluid, and pressure management using PID based digital controllers. Sensors supply input signals for temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow to an advanced intelligent controller. Simulated feedback signals, including a heater, simulated fluid flow, a humidifier, and an air blower, replace large scale physical components. The control panel is pre wired with quick connectors, and optional DAQ software (National Instrument™ LABVIEW™) is available for data measurement and calculation.

Key Features
Experiments
Using the Building Management System Trainer PolarX - 568, experiments can be performed for the following applications:
Construction and Design
The Building Management System Trainer PolarX - 568 is built as a small lab scale model of a real building management system. Different sensors are fitted on the trainer to supply input signals for temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and access control. An advanced intelligent controller processes these input signals. Each controller manages its output based on programmable parameters. Instead of physical large scale components and output devices, the trainer uses simulated feedback signals. A heater simulates the heating output. Fluid flow is simulated as cold water to the evaporator. A humidifier simulates the humidity output. An air blower simulates the pressure output. The control panel is pre wired, with all input and output devices already installed. Quick connectors are provided for electrical connections. This design makes the Building Management System Trainer compact and ready for laboratory use.
Software
Software PolarX - 568 (optional)
DAQ software specially designed in National Instrument™ LABVIEW™ environment to measure and calculate the results of the apparatus. The software is optional. A set of electronic sensors is included when the software option is used. The software can be run on any Windows™ environment.
Scope of Delivery
Q1: What is the Building Management System Trainer PolarX - 568 used for?
A: It is used to demonstrate and experiment with intelligent building management functions including climate, humidity, temperature, fluid, pressure, and access control on a small lab scale model.
Q2: What type of controllers does the trainer use?
A: All controllers on the trainer, temperature, humidity, fluid, and pressure, are PID based digital controllers.
Q3: Does the trainer use real building scale components?
A: No. Instead of physical large scale components and output devices, the trainer uses simulated feedback signals such as a heater, simulated fluid flow, a humidifier, and an air blower.
Q4: Is the DAQ software included by default?
A: No. Software PolarX - 568 is optional. When the software is used, a set of electronic sensors is included.
Q5: What power supply does the trainer require?
A: The trainer operates on a 220V AC power supply.
