Technology

AL Mayssan Technical Services Co. Ltd. (MTS) capitalizes on latest available technologies to serve its customers in the design and execution of Building and Industrial Applications and Solutions. Our Solutions are:



This was made possible by using today’s technology:

 

1. Internet Protocol (IP):


The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite, such as TCP/IP. IP by itself is something like the postal system. It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there's no direct link between you and the recipient.

 

Applying this technology in Buildings and Industrial Automation allows us to place all our systems on a single topology. ONE BUS FOR ALL. The bus can be Copper, Fiber or Wireless.

2. Open Systems:


Open Protocols (non-proprietary protocols) establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth. Some of those protocols are TCP/IP, OPC, BACnet, LONWORKS, KNX and Modbus. Applying this technology in Buildings and Industrial Automation allows us to communicate between systems seamlessly and easily.
TCP/IP is a protocol used in IT and it stands for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). Most operating systems in use today, including all consumer-targeted systems, include a TCP/IP implementation.
OLE for Process Control (OPC), and (OLE) stands for Object Linking and Embedding, is the original name for a standard specification developed in 1996 by an industrial automation industry task force. The standard specifies the communication of real-time plant data between control devices from different manufacturers.

BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation and Control networks. It is an ASHRAE, ANSI, and ISO standard protocol. BACnet was designed to allow communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control, lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms for computerized building automation devices to exchange information, regardless of the particular building service they perform.
LonWorks stands for Local Operating Networks (non-proprietary protocol) and is a networking platform specifically created to address the needs of control applications. The platform is built on a protocol created by Echelon Corporation for networking devices over media such as twisted pair, power-lines, fiber optics, and RF. It is used for the automation of various functions within buildings such as lighting and HVAC.
KNX is a standardized (EN 50090,ISO/IEC 14543), OSI-based network communications protocol for intelligent buildings. KNX is the successor to, and convergence of, three previous standards: the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BatiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB or Instabus). The KNX standard is administered by the Konnex Association.

Modbus is a serial communications protocol published by Modicon in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It has become a de facto standard communications protocol in industry, and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. The main reasons for the extensive use of Modbus over other communications protocols are:

  • It is openly published and royalty-free
  • Relatively easy industrial network to deploy
  • It moves raw bits or words without placing many restrictions on vendors
Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the same network, for example a system that measures temperature and humidity and communicates the results to a computer. Modbus is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

3. Fully Integrated Systems (One System for All):


By capitalizing on IP connectivity and Open Systems we are able to fully integrate all systems, easily and seamlessly. Accordingly we can harvest the benefits of integration where all systems are able to exchange data freely between them. When the network is in place and all communications established between all systems. MTS applies state of the art in house engineering skills in combination with accumulated years and years of experience by our technology partners to engineer, program and commission all systems as ONE.

4. Functionality, Comfort, Safety, Maintenance and Sustainability:


Those five elements are never compromised. By applying years of experience in our designs we insure that our systems are built to serve your needs.
