System integrator
Confido operates as a Honeywell System Integrator for building management systems in the UAE.
Confido's scope includes engineering and commissioning Honeywell building-management solutions and integrating them into the wider building environment. The work is developed around the building's control requirements, connected systems and operational priorities.
Honeywell BMS engineering
Engineering the complete control environment.
A building management system depends on more than individual controllers. Confido develops the architecture, control intent, operator interface and commissioning process as connected parts of one maintainable system.
01
System architecture
Supervisory, controller, I/O and field-network layers are defined around the building systems, operating requirements and integration boundaries.
02
Control philosophy
Sequences, setpoints, operating modes, schedules, interlocks and fail states are translated into a coordinated control strategy.
03
Controller & I/O engineering
Control points and I/O requirements are developed for connected plant, equipment, sensors, actuators and monitored systems.
04
Supervisory operation
Graphics, alarms, schedules and trends are organized so operators can understand conditions, respond to events and review performance.
05
BACnet integration
Compatible BACnet systems and devices are integrated at the appropriate network layer with a point structure suited to the project.
06
Testing & commissioning
Point checks, functional testing, sequence verification, alarm review and operator-facing checks support a controlled handover.
Control architecture
Honeywell Optimizer Suite
Honeywell Optimizer control architecture can support distributed building control, with Niagara-based supervisory technology providing a coordinated operational view. The final architecture is selected according to the project's systems, networks, scale and control requirements.
- Honeywell Optimizer control architecture
- Niagara-based supervisory technology
- Distributed control
- BACnet/IP
- BACnet MS/TP
- Compatible third-party integration
HVAC & chiller plants
Coordinated control for HVAC plant and air systems.
Control sequences can coordinate central plant, pumps, air systems, terminal equipment and variable-frequency drives. Plant sequencing and interlocks are developed around the intended operating modes, equipment interfaces and project requirements.
- Chillers
- Chilled-water pumps
- Cooling towers
- AHUs
- FAHUs
- FCUs
- VAV applications
- Ventilation systems
- VFD integration
- Plant sequencing & interlocks
System integration
Interfaces selected around the connected systems.
Honeywell BMS integration can bring compatible building, plant and metering systems into a coordinated supervisory environment. Protocol and interface selection is project-specific and depends on the capabilities, topology and integration requirements of the connected equipment.
- BACnet/IP
- BACnet MS/TP
- Modbus TCP
- Modbus RTU
- M-Bus where applicable
- Compatible third-party interfaces
Retrofit & modernization
A staged path from existing BMS infrastructure.
A BMS retrofit begins with an assessment of the installed controllers, networks, field devices, supervisory system and operating requirements. The modernization strategy can then address replacement and migration in controlled stages.
Suitable existing field infrastructure may be reused where technically viable and compatible with the updated design. Recommissioning verifies the renewed control sequences, interfaces, alarms and supervisory operation.
- Existing system assessment
- Controller replacement
- Supervisory migration
- Network modernization
- Staged modernization
- Reuse of suitable field infrastructure where technically viable
- Recommissioning
Maintenance & lifecycle support
Supporting the BMS beyond commissioning.
Lifecycle support helps maintain control logic, operator visibility and system records as the building and its operational requirements evolve. The appropriate scope is defined around the installed system and site requirements.
