THE CHALLENGE

The core of the implementation is the site-wide energy network by Saia Burgess Controls (SBC) together with MST Systemtechnik which connects available energy sources directly on site through innovative solutions. Renovating the historic buildings on this site presents unique challenges, particularly due to unforeseen obstacles with listed buildings. This is where the flexibility of Saia PCD control systems becomes invaluable. Our systems allow for seamless integration of third-party systems, significantly easing the renovation process.

THE SOLUTION

At the field and control level, over 80 Saia PCD controllers and 70 control cabinets will be integrated by the expected completion date in 2035, and the system topology is correspondingly complex. The Saia PCD3 controller used is particularly robust and designed for demanding applications. Up to five integrated communication interfaces are available and the plug-in modules allow individual expansion, a detail that is worth its weight in gold for projects that require a high degree of flexibility. In addition, investing in a flexible, high-quality system with a long-life cycle, for which Saia PCD controllers are known, also makes sense financially.

RESULTS

Over 80 Saia PCD controllers have been integrated at both the field and control levels, contributing to a complex system topology. In fact, depending on the situation, geothermal energy or river water is used for efficient heating and cooling. The collaboration between MST-Systemtechnik and SBC has been successful.
