Betten Reiter has begun the comprehensive modernisation of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems at its headquarters in Leonding and other locations to increase transparency, identify the potential for optimisation, and to improve its climate balance. The project is being carried out by Elin in Linz and the goal is to enable the uniform control of all shops and warehouses in a central host system. Planning was started in the year 202 and implementation began in February 2023.

Start at the Headquarters
The modernisation consists of an update of the control system, the distributors, the Honeywell controllers on EAP, and the implementation of a new energy management system. The entire control logic is completely programmed in XAMControl. Over 30 hardware components from WAGO and Siemens are used to measure energy and a range of other media. Despite initial delivery issues, the project could be efficiently and rapidly implemented thanks to the openness of evon XAMControl. evon XAMControl supports numerous suppliers and thus enables the rapid exchange of individual components since there are many complete classes in the ACCStore for many products.
The new evon EDMS (Energy Data Management System) enables comprehensive transparency of costs, energy distribution, and potential for optimisation via its use of heat maps and numerous new SQL reports. The entire system intelligence is centralised in evon XAMControl, which also monitors the complete network.
A central, virtualised server coordinates the system while sub-controllers at the individual locations (RDS for visualisation) ensure local control. This guarantees the efficient and versatile management of all HVAC components.

Technical Features

• 5 couplers/PMC distributor
• 7 couplers/energy measurement
• 36 energy meters (7 thermal, 29 electric)
• 1136 IO data points

Particular Advantages of evon XAMControl in Projects

• C# programming: The possibility to program directly in a higher-level language allows rapid and efficient planning and implementation of a range of APIs.
• Comprehensive support from evon: The direct and competent support from evon makes implementation and maintenance easier.
• Finished components in the ACCStore: These enable the rapid and simple integration of new components, which reduces the engineering effort. Every project that is implemented using XAMControl means that this advantage continues to grow

Next Steps
The next step after the successful modernisation of the headquarters in Leonding is the implementation of the system in Wiener Neustadt. Betten Reiter operates 18 subsidiaries in Austria that will all eventually be integrated into the host control system.
This modernisation improves energy efficiency and helps lower operating costs while increasing the comfort and reliability of the building infrastructure.
