Summary
After graduation of subject Intelligent electro-installation technology of buildings, student will gain rewiev about present possibilities of automation operating technical functions in buildings and flats. Students will meet with basic properties of central, decentral and hybrid control of operating technical functions of buildings. There will be compared possibilities of common electric installation and bus electro installation. Students will gain rewiev about companies that are in this area and also about price relations of their products. There will be discussed principles and properties of systems of bus installation EIB and Nikobus. Students will meet standards that describes problems of bus control of buildings and flats. There will be discussed also problems of visualisation of operating technical functions in buildings. There will be disscused possibilities od systems with data transfer through power line IB-PL. For student motivation, there are propagation materials and propagation films of companies Moeller and Siemens available. During excercise, students will try programming and connection of microsystems LOGO! S7 - 200a of Siemens company as a example of visualisation by the help of visualisation programme Promotic. Students have option to design project of bus electric installation theoretically.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of this course is to motivate students to be able to apply lessons learned the basic principles of system bus of the building techniques for a proposed bus house wiring. Students will be able to analyze the problem, calculate the costs, implement the specification and argue the project.
