| Profiles/Applications
Profile/ Application is a predefined configuration generated from the Intelligence embedded algorithm, that can be preset based on available control, signal inputs, and outputs that drive the hardware products to act accordingly.
Profiles are based on the main HVAC equipment used and the type of conditioning required in the building.
There are two types of profiles supported by the 75F BMS.
- System Profile: A profile that controls the system or building-level equipment.
- Terminal Profile: A profile that controls the terminal or zone-level equipment.
| Overview of 75F Profiles
Under the above-mentioned types and based on the conditioning required and the terminal devices used the profiles summary supported by 75F BMS is as follows.
System Profile
The system profile or application is the one that is configured in the CCU that determines the type of control for the system-level equipment such as Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Roof Top Units (RTUs).
75F support three categories of control for the system-level equipment.
Dynamic Airflow Balancing (DAB)
75F Dynamic Airflow Balancing (DAB) is a proactive zone control system that remotely monitors and controls conditions in individual spaces for superior comfort and efficiency. Predictive machine learning algorithms optimize heating and cooling capacity by redirecting conditioned air to the spaces that need it most.
It uses SmartNodes connected to zone-level dampers to control the airflow based on the individual zone-level requirement. Based on the outside temperature during the day, different zones would expect different kinds of conditioning during different times of the day. To satisfy this condition, Dynamic Airflow Balancing (DAB) uses an algorithm to provide a dynamic airflow to the zones.
Under the category Dynamic Airflow Balancing (DAB) system profile 75F support five types of system profile.
Staged RTU
A staged RTU is a profile where the input from the RTU is controlled in stages to provide the required conditioning. The stages of conditioning are the heating and cooling stages, and they are triggered based on preset conditions in the algorithm. The staged condition is enabled or disabled using relays.
For more information refer to DAB Staged RTU- Wiring/Configuration
Staged RTU with VFD
Staged RTU with VFD is a profile similar to the Staged RTU but uses a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control the fan speed during the staged conditioning.

Modulating AHU
Modulating AHU is a profile where the input from the Air handler Unit (AHU), system-level equipment, is controlled using a modulating analog signal of 0Vdc to 10 Vdc to provide the required conditioning.

Advanced AHU
Advanced AHU is a profile where the input from the Air handler Unit (AHU) which is system-level equipment is controlled either by a staged control using relays, or a modulating control using a modulating analog signal of 0Vdc to 10 Vdc to provide the required conditioning.

Modulating AHU with DCWB
Modulating AHU with DCWB is a profile that not only controls the air side by, controlling the input from the Air handler Unit (AHU) which is system-level equipment, but is controlled using a modulating analog signal of 0Vdc to 10 Vdc to provide the required conditioning, it also controls the chilled water supply required for the conditioning using the concepts of Dynamic Chilled Water Balancing.

Variable Airflow Volume (VAV)
75F Variable Airflow Volume is a concept of varying the airflow from the system-level equipment based on the needs of the zones or the spaces that are conditioned.
It uses SmartNodes connected to zone-level dampers to control the airflow based on the individual zone-level requirement. regardless of the outside temperature or condition.
Under the category Variable Airflow Volume (VAV) system profile 75F support six types of system profile.
Staged RTU
A staged RTU is a profile where the input from the RTU is controlled in stages to provide the required conditioning. The stages of conditioning are the heating and cooling stages, and they are triggered based on preset conditions in the algorithm. The staged condition is enabled or disabled using relays.

Terminal Profile
The terminal profile or application is the one that is configured in the CCU, which determines the type of control for the terminal level equipment such as Fan coil units, heat pumps, etc. The control is achieved via 75F terminal-level devices such as nodes and stats.
