Network Corp. supplies turnkey solution for the 40-story office tower.

Network Corporation of Japan provided a turn-key solution to upgrade the Building Automation system for a 40-story tower to state-of-the art technology using WebAccess HMI & SCADA software from Broadwin Technology Inc. and control equipment based on LonWorks technology from Echelon. The office tower has 40 floors plus 4 basement floors, of approximately 66,000 square feet per floor for a total of approximately 3 million square feet. The system monitors and controls lighting, heating, cooling and the associated scheduling of equipment to meet the needs of over 200 customers.  

Network Corporation of Japan provided a turn-key solution including the WebAccess software, 3 redundant SCADA nodes, redundant web server, SQL server, B-Track Gateways, advanced scheduling software, graphic displays, configuration and commissioning.

The WebAccess SCADA nodes monitor and control 120,000 network variables (NVs) from the LON network via 200 B-Track gateways. The Gateways also perform scheduling control and Change-Of-State alarming.

Network Corporation developed sophisticated advance scheduling software using a SQL server as the database to control the ever changing schedule of lights, occupancy, heating and cooling for 200 customers. Schedules are downloaded from the SQL Server to the BTrack gateways weekly or daily.
