Session 5: Adding Areas, Systems, and I/O Configurations
Course Code: CX-03
Goal: Build a strong, scalable structure for commissioning execution by effectively defining Areas, Systems, and I/O configurations within CUBE Cx.
Session Overview
Duration: 1 Hour
Format: Instructor-led (via Microsoft Teams or in-person)
Level: Intermediate (Ideal for commissioning engineers, project managers, and site coordinators)
Resources Provided:
- CUBE Cx Area and System Setup Guide
- I/O Configuration Reference Sheet
- CUBE Template Library Overview
- Multi-Building Project Setup Best Practices
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define and create Areas and Systems within a commissioning project.
- Import and apply system templates from the CUBE Library for faster setup.
- Configure I/O setups for seamless field commissioning and integration.
- Use best practices to efficiently prepare large, multi-building commissioning structures
Session Agenda
CX3.1 Defining and Creating Areas and Systems within a Project
- Creating Areas:
- Definition and importance of "Areas" within a project (e.g., floors, zones, sections of a building).
- Step-by-step guide to defining Areas within CUBE Cx.
- How to associate systems and I/O configurations to specific Areas for clear structure and organization.
- Setting Up Systems:
- How to define different "Systems" within a project (e.g., HVAC, lighting, fire alarms).
- Best practices for creating a scalable system structure across multiple areas.
- Linking systems to Areas for clear project organization and management.
CX3.2 Importing System Templates from the CUBE Library
- Using CUBE Library Templates:
- Overview of system templates available in the CUBE Library.
- How to browse, select, and import system templates to your project.
- Customizing Imported Templates:
- How to modify imported templates to suit project-specific needs.
- Benefits of using templates to streamline the commissioning process, save time, and reduce manual errors.
CX3.3 Configuring I/O (Input/Output) Setup for Seamless Field Commissioning
- Introduction to I/O Configurations:
- What are I/O configurations and why they are essential in field commissioning?
- Overview of common I/O setups for different systems (e.g., sensors, actuators, controllers).
- Configuring I/O in CUBE Cx:
- How to configure I/O points within CUBE Cx, mapping inputs and outputs for seamless integration with field systems.
- Best practices for configuring I/O setup to ensure smooth commissioning and avoid errors during field execution.
CX3.4 Techniques for Preparing Large, Multi-building Structures Efficiently
- Managing Multi-Building Projects:
- Strategies for managing large, multi-building structures in CUBE Cx.
- Best practices for replicating Area and System structures across multiple buildings.
- Scalable Configuration:
- How to streamline configuration for scalability and efficiency when handling multiple buildings and complex systems.
- Ensuring consistency across buildings while maintaining flexibility for specific needs of each building or area.
Hands-On PreviewĀ (Optional if time allows)
- Create and define Areas and Systems for a sample multi-building project.
- Import a system template from the CUBE Library and modify it for a specific area.
- Set up I/O configurations for a system within a building area.
Post-Session Action Items
- Review and refine your project’s Area and System setup to ensure it is scalable and properly structured.
- Experiment with importing system templates and customizing them for your project needs.
- Test I/O configurations and ensure they are properly mapped and ready for field commissioning.
- Apply best practices for handling large, multi-building projects and verify the integrity of your configurations.
