10、s typically have relatively few connected I/O devices, standard control sequences, and are dedicated to specific applications. BACKGROUND COMPUTER BASED CONTROL Computer based control systems have been available as an alternative to conventional pneumatic and electronic systems since the mid 1960s.

11、Early installations required a central mainframe or minicomputer as the digital processing unit. They were expensive, and application was limited to larger buildings. Reliability was also an issue since loss of the central computer meant loss of the entire control system. Advances in microtechnology

12、, particularly in large scale integration (LSI), provided answers to both the cost and reliability issues. Introduction of microprocessors, i.e., a computer on a chip, and highdensity memories reduced costs and package size dramatically and increased application flexibility (Fig. 1). Microprocessor

13、programs include all the arithmetic, logic, and control elements of larger computers, thus providing computing power at a cost/ performance ratio suitable for application to individual air handlers, heat pumps, VAV terminal units, or the entire equipment room. Microprocessor-based controllers allow

14、digital control to be distributed at the zone level, equipment room level, or they can control an entire building. A more detailed definition is provided in the ASHRAE 1995 HVAC Applications Handbook. “A digital controller can be either single- or multiloop. Interface hardware allows the digital com

15、puter to process signals from various input devices, such as the electronic temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors described in the section on Sensors. Based on the digitized equivalents of the voltage or current signals produced by the inputs, the control software calculates the required state

16、 of the output devices, such as valve and damper actuators and fan starters. The output devices are then moved to the calculated position via interface hardware, which converts the digital signal from the computer to the analog voltage or current required to position the actuator or energize a relay

17、. In each of these definitions the key element for DDC is digital computation. The microprocessor unit (MPU) in the controller provides the computation. Therefore, the term digital in DDC refers to digital processing of data and not that HVAC sensor inputs or control outputs from the controller are

18、necessarily in digital format. Nearly all sensor inputs are analog and most output devices are also analog. In order to accept signals from these I/O devices, A/D and D/A converters are included in the microprocessor-based controller. Figure 2 shows several inputs and outputs. The microprocessor usu

DDC is used in place ofconventional pneumatic or electronic local control loops. Thereare several industry accepted definitions of DDC. DDC ca

ADVANTAGES Digital control offers many advantages. Some of the moreimportant advantages are discussed in the followi

21、ng. LOWER COST PER FUNCTION In general, microprocessor and memory costs keep coming down while inherent functionality keeps going up. Compared to earlier systems, physical size of the controller is also reduced while the number of discrete functions is increased. Digital control, using a microcomput

22、er-based controller, allows more sophisticated and energy efficient control sequences to be applied at a lower cost than with non-digital controls； however, simple applications are less costly with non-digital controls. APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY Since microprocessor-based controllers are software base

23、d, application flexibility is an inherent feature. A wide variety of HVAC functions can be programmed and, in addition, the controller can perform energy management, indoor air quality (IAQ), and/or building management functions. Changes in control sequences can easily be accommodated through softwa

COORDINATED MULTIFUNCTION CAPABILITY Although basic environmental control and energy management operate as independent programs, it is best to have them incorporated as an integrated program in order to provid

25、e more efficient control sequences. For example, sensing the temperatures of several zones to determine the average demand, or the zone with the greatest demand for cooling, will provide improved efficiency and control over merely sampling a representative zone for a chiller reset program. An added

26、feature is that the sensors providing zone comfort control can serve a dual function at no added cost. These benefits require controller-to-controller communications which is discussed in the Building Management System Fundamentals section. PRECISE AND ACCURATE CONTROL Proportional control has the i

27、nherent problem of offset. The wider the throttling range is set for control stability, the greater the offset. With the microprocessor-based controller, the offset can easily be corrected by the simple addition of integral action. For even more accurate control over a wide range of external conditions, adaptive control algorithms, available in some microprocessor-based controllers, can be
