Pacific Control Systems marks a historic moment in the expansion and modernisation of Dubai International Airport expansion phase III, the intelligent Building Integration System. The Building Integrtaion 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. Pacific Controls achieved to incorporate the capability to receive and transmit the data using multiple protocols as required to communicate with the various ELV Building Systems and Aviation Systems Integration.
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) at Dubai Airport 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. 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.
