Airport Automation Projects
Dubai International Airport Expansion (Phase II)
Building Integration System is a Software solution which
enables management level interfaces among different
sub-systems in the Airport like Fire Alarm ,Security &
Access Control System,Building Management, Lighting Control
& Monitoring System ,Power Management Units,Uninterrupted
power Supply,Emergency Central Battery System, Management
Information Systems,Integrated Aircraft Stand System,CMS-Horizontal
Vertical Transport System ,CMS Skytrain and NTP.
This is possible as BIS uses the NiagaraAX Frame work which
provides a unified platform to interface with any embedded
device imaginable, regardless of manufacturer or
communication protocol. It models the data and behaviour of
the devices into normalized software components, providing a
seamless, uniform view of device data to the enterprise via
a wide variety of IP-based protocols, XML-based connectivity
options, and open API’s
The BIS Stands as a Message broker in the Airport LAN and
creates interfaces with different sub-systems using its
driver modules. i.e a system having an OPC server when needs
to interface with and BACnet Client, BIS play the
intermediate role as an OPC Client and BACnet server, thus
enabling communication across different subsystems.
The Building Integration System (BIS) works like a gateway
between various Extra Low Voltage
Systems (ELVS). Point's Status Alarms from the Source
system, is parsed /translated to a format and protocol
understandable by the Destination System
The BIS provides a range of services/drives to meet the
requirements of ELVS and the integration System (IS). All
the ELV System Interfaces are interfaced via the BIS.
Apart from data exchange the BIS uses its driver health
monitoring or watch dog functionality to monitor the health
status of all the servers ,maintaining the health record in
its history records or logs.
Architecture
The BIS interface with different sub-systems constitute of a
wide variety of IP Based Protocols namely BACnet, OPC,
XML/SOAP, Modus/TCP, SNMP, NTP.
