BMS for data centres, from design to integrated testing.

We design, build, program and commission BMS for data centres. Our software is based on AVEVA System Platform, and we have gained long-standing experience on Equinix sites across Europe.

Power, cooling, integration

Scope of work

  • Control system design: concept, detailed design, order lists and schematics in EPLAN Electric P8 and WSCAD
  • Electrical side of the BMS: LV and generator switchboards, MV transfer, UPS, ATS/STS, diesel generators and power quality meters
  • Mechanical side of the BMS: chilled water, air handling units, CRAC/CRAH, DX/FCU and leak detection
  • Software based on AVEVA System Platform, Modbus communication, testing and commissioning

What we deliver

  • Design and supply of PLC/RIO panels, sensors and HMI panels within the agreed scope
  • BMS software integrated with the site subsystems
  • Unit, functional and integration test records

From inputs to handover

  1. Step

    Design and supply

    We develop the concept and detailed design and prepare panels and equipment.

  2. Step

    Unit tests

    We calibrate sensors and check I/O, Modbus communication and data sent to SCADA.

  3. Step

    Functional tests

    We test HVAC, power source switching, alarms and control sequences.

  4. Step

    Integrated System Test (Level 5)

    We test failure scenarios and subsystem integration and prepare records for the final audit.

Before we start

  • In Equinix data centres: commissioning in Frankfurt, service and integration on further Frankfurt sites, support in Hamburg and Munich, and remote commissioning support in Paris.

  • Yes. We configure and test hardware and software supplied by other companies. We work alongside general contractors, commissioning firms and equipment suppliers.

  • We can assign a dedicated team with a lead who learns your team’s standards and methods.
