EVOLUTION BMS STARTER  - 100 LIMITED DATA POINTS - VIRTUAL MACHINE HW-BOUND VERSION

EVOLUTION BMS STARTER  - 100 LIMITED DATA POINTS - VIRTUAL MACHINE HW-BOUND VERSION

A compact version of the Evolution BMS with up to 100 process points and 1 gateway per protocol (instead of 5). Ideal for small projects, residential applications, and focused integrations. It delivers the same powerful multi-protocol communication (KNX, BACnet, Modbus, DALI, MQTT, and more) in a streamlined and cost-efficient format — perfect to get to know the Evolution BMS platform.

This is the software version of EVOLUTION that can be installed on any virtual machine such as VirtualBox, VMware and HyperV, allowing you to customise the HW and meet the requirements of even the most complex installations. The software license is tied to the HW where it is installed.

The installation instructions together with the license will be sent after purchasing the Evolution product.

 

EVOLUTION servers feature a multiprotocol SCADA/BMS system (BACnet / MODBUS / KNX / OPC / DALI) that monitors, visualizes and controls the building's mechanical and electrical equipment, such as HVAC, lighting, blinds, technical alarms, hydraulics, security, energy systems, etc.  

It is pre-installed on a Linux operating system with many advanced modules such as SQL queries, database management, advanced logic, logs, etc. Including new responsive HTML5 modules such as smart metering, weekly/yearly scheduler, scenes, charts, alarms, etc. all with very intuitive graphical user interfaces.

Its visualization is one of the most customizable, multi-user/project, with special user rights, multi-lingual and easy-to-use visualizations on the market.

 

CUSTOMIZABLE AND RESPONSIVE VISUALIZATION

Its visualization stands out for being one of the most customizable and easy to use, multi-user/project, with special user rights and multilingual.

Among other modules, the most outstanding are the following:

 

ANNUAL CALENDAR

Very friendly and simple Google Calendar style view, with day, week, month or year view.

Add, modify, or delete individual events, events from a series, or entire series

Add Exceptions and Execution Periods

Assign colors by categories for easy representation

Create scenes as an event list to schedule actions in the calendar

Use the scenes already created in the Scenes Module to schedule your actions

 

SMART METERING

Create and view different types of meters:

• Energy: Adds process points for active power and active power
• Liquid/Gas: Adds process points for flow and total flow

Add Rates with Price Increases/Decreases Based on Hourly Farms

Main Counters / Sub-Counters

Customize time ranges and compare different periods

Show spend in €,$,... or unit of measurement.

 

 

DALI MODULE

Monitors and controls all DALI and ECG groups on Ipas Dali e64 gateways

Automatic configuration: It only requires the IP address and port of e64 IPAS Dali Gateway and you get the "Full DALI Configuration in Seconds"

Create the structure of the building and link Dali gateways, groups or ECGs

 

SCENE MODULE

Predefined scenes can be easily modified by the user:

• Create, modify a new scene
• Add, Modify Scene Events
• Add Delays Between Events
• Record and Run Scenes from the Interface

Easy Setup

• Add Delays Between Events
• Set Up Scene Triggers
• Configure Process Point Visibility Which users can see it?

 

 

LOGIC MODULE

Graphic Editor

• Create logical pages in folder structure, copy/paste logical pages between projects, drag and drop logical blocks onto pages, links between inputs, outputs, and logical blocks
• Most common logic functions: Boolean logic, mathematical logic, comparators, gates, etc.
• Advanced timers: delay, counter, ladder, clock, cyclics, etc.
• Use any logical block and change it using a scripting language (see next page)

 

Online diagnostics

• Real-time diagnostics by visualizing the values received and sent by each logical block
• Modifies any existing values, propagating the calculated values throughout the logical map. Even offline!
• Sending to fieldbuses (KNX, Modbus, BACnet) the values calculated as a result of received telegrams or manual modifications

 

 

GRAPHICS

Comprehensive tool to display historical data easily

It aggregates multiple series on the same chart, allowing the end user to:

• Add, remove, series at will from list of allowed process points

100% configurable UI design

• Lines, Marks, Background, Axes, Tooltips, Range, Series, Offset, Transparencies, etc.

Excellent tool for users to control useful data

 

Easily navigate and zoom in/out by clicking on the series

 

USER PERMISSIONS

Assign Users/User Groups to Rights Settings

Configure Module and Component Permissions (Categories):

Allows you to create and assign users with different permissions within the modules and components of the visualization: Allows one user to view a component, another to interact with it, another not to view it

• Scene Control
• Alarm Module
• Annual/Weekly Scheduler
• Smart metering
• Administration of DALI e64

Multi-Project Configuration: each user can manage their own scenes, annual schedules, schedules, alarms, and scenes, independently of the rest.

 

NODE-NETWORK

Node-RED: Visual programming development tool for the integration of the IoT world in KNX

 

Very powerful visual programming environment to connect devices, APIs and online services in the IoT ecosystem in a very simple way:

• Easily connect KNX, Modbus, Bacnet, etc. with any IoT device or service with Evolution Nodes
• Integrations with protocols such as MQTT, REST, Websocket, SQL, HTTP, etc.
• Integrations with third-party APIs such as Telegram, PushOver, Sonos, Doorbird, NetAmo, Philips HUE, Google Voice Assistant, etc.
• Optimized to handle multiple concurrent connections in real-time
• It is the largest open source ecosystem that exists in the world (more than 4500 nodes available)
• Open-source standard for data management and processing
