Automation in buildings, machines and systems

It is essential to have the most important operational functions run automatically such as monitoring, air conditioning and lighting when operating today big and even small buildings in a secure and cost efficient way. However, this naturally increases the requirements for building installations and in most cases conventional equipment is no longer able to provide the necessary
performance. Consequently building automation is more and more using serial bus systems that control the information transfer between sensors and actors, switches and superordinated management systems.

These bus systems offer different advantages:

• Easier planning and installation of building functions
• Higher flexibility in building utilisation because functions are freely programmable and thus reconfigurable at any time

In the meantime, due to micro controllers and reduced size and prices of electronic components, automation found its way also into areas which formerly were not considered for field bus solutions due to high cost. Serial bus systems perform useful services particularly when crosslinking sensors, actors and control units inside of machines and when crosslinking devices within measuring, control and monitoring systems.
