PART II: Structuring Projects and Digital Twins

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.
