Building Automation Systems Basics Lesson 3 - BAS 101 system training simulator

Lesson 3 in the video series on building automation systems. BAS 101 training class or building automation system basics. As I go through what is a BAS, a general overview, some basic terminology, and different types of controls.
This lesson gets into the BAS training simulator purchased from DDC Support services (now iConnect). I've utilized some of the training material supplied with their system - www.DDCsupportservices.com (NOW www.iconnecttraining.com)
From the website:
The PT-181 is a portable training unit specifically designed for the DDC (Direct Digital Controls) industry. It is packaged with curriculum that is both embedded in the Trainer and contained in a written workbook resulting in a highly interactive student - trainer experience. The PT-181 incorporates some of the most popular DDC devices currently in use. The web-enabled DDC controller allows the student to access the Trainer using a standard web browser and HTML5 or JAVA WebStart®. All of the DDC devices are interfaced with the main controller via hardwired or network connections. BACnet IP (Ethernet) and MS/TP (RS485 serial) networks are utilized allowing the student to gain exposure to the most popular BAS networks in use. The PT-181s can be operated stand alone or easily networked together for use in a learning center environment. Onboard temperature, CO2, humidity, and motion sensors are included. Graphical object oriented programming is presented using the Niagara N4 Framework®

I wish I watched these videos before. I'm Currently a College student, thinking about working in controls in the future, and these are very helpful to get an idea of what I'm getting into.

[@mattdobson123]

Awesome, thank you for watching and providing feedback!

[@abdullahmusheer4238]

Soo much helpful and insightful..... inwas looking something like that . Thank you

[@edunewton1386]

Hello Matt, Great job. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks Newton

[@RubenBrizuela89]

All your videos are awesome. Very simple and helpful. Thank you.

[@rudcru5925]

The training simulator was very help; visualization speeds up the learning process. Thanks!

[@mobeekhan2013]

Wow. What a video. Very informative. Thanks!

[@simonriley7750]

Great videos, keep them rolling.

[@joseph3thomas1]

Thank you so much for your help

[@Control771]

very helpful thanks for the imformation

[@harulselbam4655]

Very good.

[@talish922]

It's very helpful for me. Thanks sir

[@PurpleHeat]

These are really great videos. Could you break down other product lines and how they might be better or worse than others given what a customer wants? Maybe from a customers point of view what are the places where they could spend more money and get more benefit?

[@maelsonfr]

you is the best...

thanks for sharing

Thanks

[@mattdobson123]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@YaredTadesse-u4x]

do you have training for beginner ? if you are giving training in the class I would like to attend the class

[@ahamed83]

sir do more videos

[@fadiabou-jmeiy6227]

great job

[@vimalbhaya3110]

Hi Matt , What is the difference between RTU, FCU and CO2/Temp sensor's temp control ? Are they all in different rooms ? Otherwise, same Zone will have multiple controls. I'm trying to understand the hypothetically deployed physical HVAC architecture corresponding to the training box. Thanks

[@edunewton1386]

Hi, I think from Matt's demonstration using the Jace box, we are looking at simulating a Single Zone VAV system. RTU: Rooftop units are packaged unit capable of supplying air to a space at a set temperature. FCU, does the same thing, however FCU is smaller and are installed in ceiling or inside a building not outside. CO2, are usually installed in return air ducts to detect the amount of CO2 level in a level. These systems could be found and installed in a single zone and connected to the JACE box (BAS)for monitoring and control. Thanks Newton

[@GREATFILMSTV]

I’m stuck on the part where you plug the Ethernet cord to your computer but still have WiFi ☠️

[@patrickjones7434]

Hi where could purchase that training box it would be very useful to have so when I go around to visit various clients

[@mattdobson123]

Patrick Jones the link is in information, but I purchased through DDC Support Services. Thanks for watching!

[@dragonflyjones5146]

Patrick Jones yeah this would be an awesome tool to have. I’m trying to get into Building Automation. I’m sure this unit has an astronomical price tag. I may have to just build my own at some point.

[@One-way]

Dragonfly jones thinking the same thing....

[@saidkamal5769]

Hello . Im interesting in major in bas technology program .Is it a dangerous job? Thanks

[@mattdobson123]

not nearly as dangerous as other jobs.. All the work is low voltage and you could lock out equipment before working on it

[@vijaymadhav3973]

🤘🤘☺️✌️

[@luisvilla799]

Can anybody tell what this would be called to get a cert or degree at community college level

[@mattdobson123]

Several schools have courses/training. I've seen them labeled as: Building Automation Systems Technician, Building Automation System Operations, and Commercial Building Automation Certificate. I would search for building automation to start

[@luisvilla799]

@@mattdobson123 thanks looks like there might be some certs in Houston area but no associates degree

[@alimohame4153]

How I can get that training.?

[@molinschado1987]

Do you have circuit diagram?

[@mattdobson123]

Sorry, I don't.. Thanks for watching!

[@yensteel]

Cheeky you, using 69. Anyways, Jace is so useful! Universities should have a set or room that people can register for to experiment.

[@Universalengineerings]

Whats the different between Bas and BMS?

[@seveneight7899]

Nothing.. one means building automation system other means building management system.. same thing essentially..

[@Universalengineerings]

@@seveneight7899 ok, Thankyou for your ekplanation...

Hi Matt, Would you please check your email? I sent you an email last week. Thanks,
