Invensys S
1. Hardware
 Hardware is the physical machinery consisting of :
1. Microprocessor(s)
2. Memory
3. Peripheral devices such as the sensor/actuator interfaces,
serial and parallel communication ports and operator
interfaces.
 Peripherals communicate with the HVAC sensors, actuators,
other computers and humans.
Invensys S
2. Software
 Hardware is the of instructions and procedures that tells the
computer what computations to perform and what to do with
the results.
Invensys S
3. Firmware
 Firmware refers to software instructions that are stored in
silicon, on hardware memory chips.
 Firmware has some of the attributes of both hardware and
software. It is a set of software instructions that can be
plugged into an integrated circuit socket. (EEPROM)
Invensys S
DDC CONTROLLERS
 All DDC Systems consist of :
SOFTWARE
HARDWARE
FIRMWARE

4. Local DDC Controllers
 Local Controllers directly control HVAC equipment. They are
classified in three types:
1. Application Specific Controllers
2. Application Programmable Controllers
3. Flexible (Fully) Programmable Application
Controllers
Invensys S
1. Application Specific Controllers
 These controllers are specifically designed for some
terminal units, such as Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes, Fan
Coil Units (FCU)
Fig. Page 76
Invensys S
2. Application Programmable Controllers
 These controllers are designed for very specific types of
equipment terminal units, such as Variable Air Volume (VAV)
boxes, Fan Coil Units (FCU), Heat Pumps, RoofTop Units and
Unit Ventilators.

3. Flexible (Fully) Programmable Application
Controllers
 These controllers are very flexible and freely
programmable.
 They can be used for most of HVAC applications, such as
Boilers Control, Chillers Sequencing, Full Air Handling Units
Control, Pumps Sequencing,…etc.
 Its main application is for Main Plants and Equipment.

5. Input/ Output Points
 Input/ Output (I/O) Points are the physical connections from a
DDC Controller to sensors and controlled devices.
There are 4 different types of points:
1. Digital Inputs (DI): Fan Status, Pump Pressure…(VFC)
2. Digital Outputs (DO): Fan/Pump/Humidifier/Electric Heater
Command…
3. Analogue Inputs (DI): Sensors, Transducers, Transmitters…
4. Analogue Outputs (AO): Actuators, VFD Speed Control…
Invensys S
5. Input/ Output Points
 Universal Points:
 Some controllers provide the ability for any Input to be
configured in the field as Analogue or Digital.
The same applies to Output Points.
Invensys S
5. Input/ Output Points
 Pulse Input Points:
 In some applications it is required to monitor and count the
pulses of an energy meter or a KWH meter. It is necessary to
make sure that the Digital Input can sense the number of pulses
per second.

6. Global DDC Controllers
 Global controllers are not directly connected to HVAC
equipment, but are wired to a group of local controller
 The global controllers major function is group local controllers
together, and share information between the local controllers and
with other Global controllers.
 The sharing of information is referred as “NETWORKING” or
“Peer-to-Peer”.

7. Peripheral Equipment
 Peripheral equipment are connected directly to global
controllers such as a printer or a modem.
 Each device attached to a Global Controller has a
communication speed or baud rate.
The baud rate of the global controller must much the baud rate
for the peripheral equipment for both devices to be able to
communicate.
Invensys S
8. Communication LAN
 When controllers are connected together, there are at least
two different physical arrangements.
1. Daisy chain, Bus or Trunk.
2. Star Connection
Invensys S
1. Daisy Chain
 Controllers are connected in Series.
 There is always two ends for the network.

Invensys S
2. Star Connection
 Controllers are connected in different ways (easier to wire) .
 There are more than two ends for the network.

9. Programming Methods
 There are three different approaches to writing the software
programs in DDC controllers:
1.
Line By Line Programming: It is sort of a Basic Language program
2.
Block Programming (Object Oriented): It uses predefined objects of
all pieces of HVAC equipment, Links between objects is made to
create the program.
3.
Application Programming: It is a computer program that asks the
programmer questions concerning a particular application and
creates the controller program accordingly.
