Taicenn Panel PC for Subway BAS System
Background:
The subway BAS (Building Automatic System) system is an automated control system that combines computing and network technology with the principles of automation control. The BAS system is designed to monitor the electromechanical equipments in stations, sections, and tunnels along the entire metro line. The Monitored equipment primarily includes tunnel ventilation systems, station/section ventilation and air conditioning systems, small ventilation and air conditioning systems, air conditioning water systems, water supply and drainage equipment, escalators, elevators, rolling doors, lighting systems, emergency lighting power supplies, and section water supply and drainage equipment, as well as the operating status and system parameters of station public areas and equipment rooms.
Project Description:
The end-user customer is a rail transportation operation and maintenance solutions provider. In order to ensure stable operation of its BAS system and the operator can intuitively check the current working status of the equipment through the human-machine interface device. It requests extremely high demands on the quality and performance of its core computing panel PC unit:
- Super high computing power was required to enable communication with site PLCs and accurately upload screens and data in real time.
- To achieve real-time monitoring of environmental control, lighting, and other equipments in subway stations, ensuring a safe riding environment, stable data transmission from site to the monitoring terminal was required.
- To ensure 24/7 operation in complicate environments, the equipment needed to be suitable for harsh operating conditions.
Taicenn solution
According to the solution requirement, Taicenn delivered our flagship industrial touch Panel PC TPC-DCT215D2 to achieve the powerful computing and reliable HMI solution for BAS systems. This Pcap. touch Panel PC system is powered by Intel’s 12th Gen. Alder Lake-U Core i5-1235UCPU processor, and have the below advantage on the application.
1- Powerful Performance
This model adapts the latest 12th Gen. Alder Lake-U Core i5-1235U CPU processor. Its high computing power and powerful performance can be an ideal for real-time monitoring, uploading, and management of dynamic images and data from the BAS system host PC, ensuring data timeliness and providing a stable digital management platform.
2- Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Ports for stable networking
Dual Intel® Gigabit Ethernet ports enable to communicate with site PLCs, monitor PLC data, and upload dynamic images and related information to the host computer.
3- Rich IO and Flexible expansion
Rich IO interfaces, including 2* RJ45 (1* 2.5GbE), 2* USB3.1, 2* USB3.0, 1* USB-C (USB3.1 & DP1.4), 2* RS232/RS485/RS422 (BIOS configurable), 1* RS232 (optional GPIO), 1* SW remote switch, 1* HDMI, 1* DP, Audio, can meet different interface requirements. Furthermore, 3 high speed expansion modules slots: 1* M.2 3042/3052 B-key & 1* M.2 2230 E-Key slots, and 1* Mini-PCIe slot to support wireless network and some automation modules.
4- Stable wide voltage input
It is designed with DC terminal wide voltage 9 ~ 36v range, with over-current, over-voltage and polarity protection.
5- Continuous operation
This product features a fanless design, supporting 24/7 operation in harsh environments ranging from -10° to +50°. The front panel is IP65 dust and water resistant, preventing screen blackouts, system downtime, and damage caused by dust and moisture entering through panel gaps, effectively extending the product lifespan and ensuring safe and stable operation.
At last:
Automation control technology and BAS system create a comfortable, safe and reliable riding environment for subway lines and achieve the goal of energy saving. It shifts from equipment management to operation management and improves the quality of subway services.
