HVAC management and
automation
New solutions for superordinate
building automation
Application Controllers automate entire HVAC automation
functions. They can be seamlessly integrated into higher-level
building management systems.

Full energy management

ABB’s Application Controllers manage all super-
ordinate HVAC automation functions. They sup-
port heat demand calculations, schedules, data
recording, device monitoring, and more. In addi-
tion freely programmable modules can be created
to automate entire HVAC systems. They allow a
seamless integration of HVAC automation into
higher-level building management system thanks
to the open BACnet interface.

Integrated
BACnet­ interface

Application Controllers, AC/S

Run predefined automation modules for a holistic
HVAC automation solution from central HVAC to
room. For example heat demand calculation,
schedules, and trends logs. The automatically
created web user interface includes all installed
ClimaECO devices.

• Own automation modules can be created

• BACnet variant connects KNX to BACnet systems
