Data center monitoring (BMW FIZ)

Date: ongoing
Contracting entity: ERS – Elektrotechnik
End customer/site of installation: BMW Group, Research & Innovation Centre (FIZ)

Project description:

We continuously maintain and expand the monitoring control systems of the data center to permanently record and evaluate various measurement signals (temporary I/Os, currents). For this, we use various PLC controls, which are centrally visualized via WinCC. An ACC system displays the operating status and triggers an alarm if necessary. In addition, energy consumption is measured and evaluated. Recirculating air-cooling units are centrally controlled for each smoke section. The control system provides the IT equipment with constant cooling while consuming as little energy as possible.
