Digital Realty Trust: Data Centre BMS Upgrade
Sirus undertook the upgrade of BMS at Digital Realty’s Blanchardstown Data Centre in 2013/14.
The main requirement was to extend the life of the facility and enhance the controls package appearance, functionality, capacity reporting & connectivity.
The Solution
This project was conducted in a live environment and involved upgrading an old Cylon BMS to current Unitron Series Controllers.
Modbus interfaces with chillers etc. include:
- Edpac CCU’s (Carel Controllers)
- Stutz CCU’s (C1002 controllers via a MIB network controller)
- Sitewide PDU metering (c.200 meters via a North Integrator back Cylon via Modbus)
- Leak Detection (Tyco TTDM128)
- 200 DPU meters
- Utilities metering
- UPS metering
- Real-time PUE / COP
- % Capacity Data Suite alerting
The Result
Sirus delivered a greatly enhanced and more user-friendly solution with on and offsite web connectivity with a more robust alerting solution that provides on-call technicians instantaneous plant status anywhere internet connectivity is available.
This project was successfully delivered in a Live Data Centre Environment, where the main requirement of zero downtime was achieved thanks to the cooperation between Sirus and Facilities Engineers.
