The building management systemThe Building Integration System (BIS) is a flexiblebuilding management system which can be configuredto suit the user's specific needs.It contains a huge range of applications and featureswhich enable both the integration and coupling as wellas the monitoring and control of all technical buildingsystems.The new generation builds on Bosch's many years ofexperience in management systems and wasconsiderably influenced by the following markettrends:

• Increasing complexity of technical building equipmentThe increasing complexity of technical equipmentinside buildings requires a powerful managementsystem which combines the most varied functions(e.g. fire and intrusion alarm systems, access control,video systems and building automation... etc.) in thebest possible way. The OPC standard enables BIS toprocess and share information efficiently with a hugevariety of hardware devices and other sources.

• Using new technologies and standardsWhile the strict regulations in the field of securitytechnology ensure a high degree of reliability in

security matters, they hinder the integrated use ofnew technologies from the IT world. BIS hassucceeded in harnessing the benefits of non-security-based technologies (e.g. OPC, CAD, web) andharmonizing them with the world of securitytechnologies.

• Customers want complete solutionsFacility managers and integrators are demanding asingle building-management solution that isnevertheless able to integrate all their securitysubsystems.

System overview

The Building Integration System is a versatile productmade up of a basic package plus various optionalcomponents (also known as Engines) based on acommon software platform. The engines can becombined to tailor building management systems todetailed requirements.These main components are:

• Automation Engine• Access Engine• Video Engine• Security Engine

* not available in all countriesThese engines are described in greater detail inseparate datasheets.

Functions

System architectureThe BIS Engines provide fire and intrusion detection,access control, video surveillance plus the monitoringof HVAC and other vital systems.BIS is based on a performance-optimized three-tierarchitecture especially designed for use in Intranetand Internet environments.Subsystems are connected via the well-established,world-wide OPC standard. This open standard makesit easy to insert BIS into existing OPC-compliantsubsystems.

Organizational structure and configurationA number of automatic functions and easy-to-use toolsmake configuration installer-friendly, saving time andexpense.Hierarchical location trees can be created by theimport of existing CAD data containing layers, namedviews and detector locations. Zooming and panningallow rapid navigation through the building.The user interface is web-server-based using dynamicHTML pages. Default pages for different screenresolutions and formats are included in the installationsoftware, and the default pages can easily becustomized using a standard HTML editor.BIS automatically detects the monitor resolution andprovides the appropriate user interface.

OperationThe system’s main task is to operate as the alarm-monitoring and control center for the various securitysystems within a site. Its graphical interface isdesigned to help the operator grasp the extent andurgency of an occurrence quickly, and to take promptand effective action.

The heart of the system, the State Machine, monitorsall incoming events and operator requests and, ifdesired, can take actions prescribed by user-definedrules or Associations, thus unburdening the operators.

System securityAES encryption between BIS central server andworkstations provides additional security in additionto configurable user-access rights. If PCs within acorporate network are to be used as clientworkstations then enhanced security can be achievedby restricting operators to specific workstations or IP-addresses.

2 | BIS - Overview and basic package V4.0

Basic packageThe Building Integration System basic packageprovides many features used in common by the variousEngines.

• Customizable device condition counters to provide anoverview of the condition of subsystems across theentire BIS system

• Message processing and alarm display• Alarm queue with up to 5000 simultaneous alarm

events and detailed alarm information

• Fixed assignment of operators to workstations forhigher security

• State machine for automated event and alarmhandling.

• Web-server-based platform allows client workstationsto connect to BIS via just the Internet Explorer

• Direct support for location maps in standardAutoCAD DWF vector format reduces configurationeffort.

• Changes to architecture within a graphic (new walls,moving a door, etc.) can be implemented withoutchanging the BIS configuration, simply import a newplot file.

• Automated workflows between operators, withmessage broadcasting and customizable escalationpaths

• Huge library of standardized detector icons instandard vector format including color, event andcontrol definitions

• Direct control and monitoring of detectors via thecontext menus of their icons in the location maps

• Direct control and monitoring of detectors via thelogical tree-structure (e.g. building – floor – room) ofa site, with hyperlinks to photos, manuals,instructions

• Location tree generated automatically from the"named views" within the AutoCAD graphic

• Action management for automatic and manual controlinto connected subsystems and their peripherals

• Device overview for all connected subsystems, andtheir peripherals (detectors) and internal virtualdevices (operator, server, ...) in the form of a treestructure with detailed information about address,status, type, location and notes. Control theperipherals via the context menus of their tree nodes.

• Ability to compartmentalize the managed site intoautonomous Divisions, and to restrict operators tothe control of specific Divisions.

• Ability to provide specific information to the operatorin the form of free-form “miscellaneous” hypertextdocuments, including text, bitmaps, video images,etc.

• Highly configurable operator access rights formonitoring and control of subsystems and theirperipherals

• Event log to ensure all events are completelydocumented (including messages received andactions taken)

• Reporting services to quickly create reports from theevent log

• Linking and embedding of OPC servers from anycomputer in the network

• Online Help

BIS optional accessoriesThe optional features listed below can be added to theBIS system to meet specific customer requirements.They are usable with all the BIS Engines (Automation,Access, Video and Security Engine).

Alarm document packageThis package extends the standard alarm handling ofyour BIS system with the capability of displayingaction plans and location maps as well as the graphicalnavigation and the alarm-dependent visualization of

layers inside those maps. This ensures optimalguidance to operators especially in stress situations,such as fire or intrusion alarms.

Alarm-dependent action plans or workflows providedetailed event-dependent information such asstandard operating procedures, live images, controlbuttons, etc. to the operator. Simply create and assignone action plan to each possible alarm type in yoursystem, e.g. fire alarm, access denied, technicalalarms, etc.With the deletion of an alarm message an unmodifiablesnapshot of the displayed action plan is attached tothe event log. This ensures accountability by providinga trace of all steps performed by the operator duringthe alarm response.

• Location maps are a visualization of premises e.g.floors, areas or rooms, based on the popular AutoCADvector-graphics format. Detectors and other devicesare represented by colored, animated icons that

provide direct control via their context menus. In thecase of an alarm the system zooms automatically tothe location in the map where it was triggered.

• A location tree provides entry points to the locationmap and its graphical navigation functions (pan,zoom).

• Alarm-dependent layer control allows the display ofadditional graphical information for specificsituations, e.g. escape routes in case of fire alarms.

Alarm management packageThis package extends the standard alarm-handling ofyour BIS system by some additional features:Message distribution allows the definition ofescalation scenarios which are activated automaticallywhen an operator or operator group fails toacknowledge an alarm message within a definedperiod. BIS will then forward the messageautomatically to the next authorized operator group.The timer feature allows the setup of time scheduleswhich can be used to perform automatic controlcommands, such as closing a barrier at 8:00 pm, aswell as for time-dependent redirection of alarmmessages, e.g. within time period 1 show message tooperator group 1 else to operator group 2.

The operator alarm feature allows an operator totrigger an alarm manually from the location tree, forexample, if informed by telephone of a dangeroussituation. Such manual alarms are processed in thesame way as those triggered by a detector: that is, theassociated documents are displayed and all stepstaken are recorded in the event log.The application launcher allows the invocation of non-BIS applications by the system based upon predefinedconditions, e.g. alarms or timers. A typical applicationof this would be for an automatic, scheduled systembackup.
