1 Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8 BUILDING CONTROL BY INTUITION CREATING A CLIMATE FOR GROWTH

2 Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8 Developed for people, naturally. The new-generation Priva building control system features an unprecedented combination of speed, reliability and ease of use, thanks to the game-changing Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8. You can install hardware and wiring in a fraction of the time previously required. TC Engineer, the updated engineering software from the Top Control 8 software suite, has undergone extensive development. And, thanks to the web-based management software, TC Manager, it is easier than ever to use during operation and servicing.

3 Priva 2-wire Priva 2-wire makes almost any twisted-pair cable suitable for IP communication. When renovating building control systems, for instance, it is advantageous to reuse the communications cables that are already present. Other significant advantages of Priva 2-wire are: freedom of topology, high data transfer speeds and bridging distances to a good 500 metres! A best-fit solution every time No two projects are ever the same. Priva solutions are used in new builds and in renovations, in large and small projects. The products and services must, therefore, be suitable for every conceivable situation. Blue ID and Top Control 8 have been developed with precisely this idea in mind. Priva Blue ID communicates via a large number of protocols. This gives users and installers freedom of choice to communicate with 3rd party devices and peripheral hardware via Ethernet or serial communication. This is confirmed by the BACnet-certified controller. And, as a result of the specifications for the inputs and outputs, a wide range of field equipment can be connected directly to Blue ID. Running out of space in a control panel is not a problem: the modules are smaller than usual and the system is fully modular and can be built flexibly. Priva 2-wire (see boxed text), one of Priva s highest profile innovations, allows users and installers to reuse existing cabling during renovation work. In addition, longer distances can be bridged using Priva 2-wire than by using Ethernet. This saves on both time and costs. With Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8, you can provide your customers with the best-fit solution every time.

4 Software configurable inputs The analogue inputs on the universal input module in Priva Blue ID can be fully configured using software. There is, therefore, no longer a requirement for complex actions or separate, external hardware components such as resistors. The universal input module can be configured for various functions, including: resistance measurement, voltage measurement and current measurement. This makes the process easier and gives installers a great degree of freedom. Speed and ease on all fronts Whether it s the push-in spring terminals in the wiring concept (installation without the need for tools), the modular construction or changing modules while live (hot swappable), speed and ease are still some of Priva s most important characteristics. This also applies to our software suite. In TC Manager, you can create your own environment, with extensive sorting and filtering options. This means that you always have the most relevant information immediately to hand. TC Engineer provides you with accurate insight into the optimal system set-up. You can also easily configure multiple I/Os simultaneously. There is a single hardware variant of the controller. You can always have the desired number of I/O points, by upgrading via the software for increased capacity. The analogue inputs are also simple to configure this is done using the software, rather than fitting an external resistor. So you ll never get it wrong when looking for the correct resistor. That is what Priva means by speed and ease. Faultless construction Innovative applications can be found in various components of Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8. In most cases, this means that errors will be a thing of the past. Innovation can be found in the following areas: the wiring, such as the one-wire-one-terminal system and the own field power supply for each I/O as part of the flexible backplate concept; the unique keying concept that makes it impossible to fit a functional module to the wrong base; software configurable analogue inputs, which makes the use of physical resistors superfluous (see boxed text). Should a failure occur in the system despite this, then the impact is low - thanks to the modular structure. Each functional module is easy to remove and replace while the system remains live. The software configuration of inputs significantly reduces the risk of errors. And the galvanic isolation between individual I/Os and the system prevents damage, measuring errors and loss of time in the event of wiring problems. Innovative safeguards help in the construction and maintenance of a faultless system. Total control of projects When Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8 were developed, serious consideration was given to the total control of projects and processes. This is why the system continuously saves data on the SD card in the controller. The project database is saved here, too. This means that you always have to hand the latest project database, the complete data history and the most important information for servicing and maintenance.

5 Sustainable and safe long-term investments Intuitive building control has reached new levels thanks to the combination of Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8. Part of the concept is connections with existing Priva solutions, such as the Compri HX range, or in other words, backwards compatibility. Through software updates, Priva will be further enhancing the level and ease of integration with previous Priva generations in one of the next releases. Just as it has done in the past, Priva will continue in the future to offer optimum support for existing solutions, so that customers are assured of a future-proof investment.

6 Comprehensive data-logging graphs The extra analytical power of the data-logging graphs in TC Manager provide considerable added value for the installer and end user. You can now display up to 16 data-logs simultaneously in a single graphic overview. The graphs show where irregularities occur and provide insight into the reasons behind this. You can even make year-on-year comparisons.

7 Energy efficiency: naturally With Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8, you can automatically offer your customer energy efficiency. You activate Priva TC Energy, the online suite for supporting energy management, at the same time as using Top Control 8. This gives your customer direct insight into energy flows, allowing the customer to manage their own energy more effectively. New modules are being added to TC Energy all the time, giving your customer even greater control over their energy efficiency. The system saves the data for all measurements and controls over a very long period of time. TC Manager allows you to then visualise and analyse this data. The status of each digital input is indicated by a multi-coloured configurable LED. Together, the additional blue LEDs on all modules form the Blue ID Lifeline. Should a problem occur, then the Lifeline is interrupted. Whether you are at the control panel or viewing via TC Manager, you can see where the problem is at a glance. The on-board manual override switches are electronic, which means that you can take control of the system remotely with complete reliability both via the controller and via TC Manager. The extensive options for personal displays and data-logging graphs in TC Manager (see boxed text) are powerful analysis resources that can be fully customised to suit your personal preferences. This gives you total control of the project at all times, wherever you are. Efficient to the Nth degree Ease of use and intuitive operation were top priorities during the development of Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8. You will immediately see this in practice. It s now possible to master systems more quickly and design, build and maintain a project in less time, while the risk of errors is reduced considerably. The use of standard IP and Ethernet technology also ensures that the system communicates quickly and effectively with all types of installations. In addition to this, because the system uses an embedded web server, installing and maintaining PC software is superfluous and you can easily operate the system via the Internet. What s more, because there is a limited number of base modules, project implementation becomes far more flexible. There is only one type of controller and you use the software to select the correct capacity of I/O points per project. If expansion is required, you can always upgrade the controller later, via software, without having to replace the hardware. In addition to this, the packaging is specially adapted to your operating processes: you automatically unpack the products in the sequence that is most logical for you. Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8 make efficiency tangible. Building control by intuition Build systems and control buildings intuitively. It sounds like a contradiction, but we think that it should be this easy. With the introduction of Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8, we have taken a giant step forward, towards a more intuitive style of building control systems for both project implementation and throughout the operational phase. The innovations in this brochure are just a few examples of the range of improvements and state-of-the-art technologies that are used in Priva Blue ID and Top Control 8. If you would like more information, or want to make an appointment to test out the system for yourself, please telephone or your account manager, who will be happy to help you.
