The BMS Field Level, also known as Building Management System Field Level, refers to the physical components and devices that enable data acquisition and control within a building automation system. This includes sensors, actuators, controllers, and other connected devices at the field level that allow for monitoring and control of various systems such as HVAC, lighting, security, and energy management. The BMS Field Level is responsible for collecting and transmitting data from these devices to the higher-level controls and software applications for analysis and optimization. It plays a critical role in ensuring the efficient and effective operation of a building's systems and optimizing energy usage.
Below is the list of devices and components used in a BMS Field Level can be reordered based on classification:
