Interfacing City Resources Management System with SIMATIC WinCC

This paper describes the use of the SIMATIC WinCC software for interfacing City Resources Management System by using a network implemented with high performance industrial programmable logic controllers. This system assure all the requirements of operating the energy resources in a city with the industrial precision and offer to the building occupants an interface with the capability of been accessible from every place of the building. The communication between programmable logic controllers and servers, WinCC use the Industrial Ethernet Protocol, fact that make the monitoring and control of the building accessible from distance clients. Also this type of communication interface permits future expansions and interconnections between other buildings for energy exchanges and resources management.
