Capstone: Day-2 Week 2

Capstone: Day-2

Week 2

Our team objective on day-2 was to finish remaining installation on fire panel,access control and then move on to integrating these systems to OpenGN software platform. Today we individually explored,practiced with OpenGN software and focused more on researching it to understand how systems will be integrated 

Our team received FX2000 from Professor Leo, the OpenGN station is to be moved again to the main entrance of C527 as soon as the area is cleared out. All related manuals and also training video's regards to Mircom devices were found on the Mircom website with JC's account.    

Mircom building automation course has been working on communicating both fire panel and access control panels through TX3 software. The wiring and data memories are still in progress for next week Lab. The fact that any system being integrated to OpenGN first needs to be fully configured itself. We individually did critical research to theoretically understand how to commission Fire,Card access panels and DSC system to OpenGN. On Tuesday our group will share each research materials and come up with the best solution on how to commission it. We will proceed with the integration on Day-3 with JC's permission. 

Capstone: Day-1

Week 1

First day to start off capstone, the Mircom project group member were assigned. Our group task was to finish installation on card access panel and fire alarm panel in room C527. Majority of our group member were taking Building sub-systems & Integration course, so we had basic knowledge on how these panels worked. With Professor JC’s account we downloaded both systems manual through Mircom website and studied it. 

Once we were on the same page, we worked as a team by dividing tasks. Finding sub components on fire panel system and mounting them on the board, configuring how wiring should be completed with both systems and lastly configure/move Open GN system to room C527.We have successfully finished all task, but one of the fire alarm subsystem component was missing, which was reported to Professor Leo.

                                                     Mircom OpenGN Platform


Description

 Mircom has been a long time supporter of our Building Automation program and has hired several of our students over the past years as well as integrating some of our ideas on to their OpenGN platform. This project will continue to work with OpenGN to display information on the status of the connected building systems such as Fire and Card Access panels as well as research other building systems that can be added to the platform. Integration with BIM will also be investigated.

 Deliverables

 1. Re-commission existing Fire and Card Access panels using the latest OpenGN software platform. 

 2. Explore the Digital Twin features of OpenGN and include the DSC alarm system.

 3. Design a network connected I/O interface that can be used to display status points of the devices connected to it. (Example, if the room is occupied or lights are on or off)

 4. Connect other labs on the 5th floor to OpenGN.
