Description
Summary:This paper demonstrates a Building Management System that uses X-10 PLC, sensors, actuators, and microcontroller to control the lighting, the electrical outlets and switches depending on several conditions inherent to BMS. The unique feature of this BMS is the anticipation of an anomaly in the gas sensor like disconnection during renovation or malfunction which makes it inoperable thus exposing the tenants or occupants of the premises to unbeknown hazards. If an anomaly exists, the switches and the outlets are disabled so as not to cause arcing which is the common source of ignition for the leaked LPG gas. Another unique feature of this system is that it does not need to install new wiring since X-10 PLC uses the electrical wires as the communications medium. © 2016 Penerbit UTM Press.
