Direct Digital Control (DDC) is also referred to a building automation systems (BAS) or energy management systems (EMS). In large commercial buildings DDC is used extensively to control HVAC equipment and electrical lighting and machinery necessary to commercial buildings.

DDC systems can also be integrated with Monitoringsystems. Additionally, monitoring and control of various applications controlled with PLC’s. HVAC DDC Systems allows operators and maintenance personnel alike to maintain an optimum efficiency. Optimum efficiency of the equipment by giving operators real time information that allows the operator to respond. Respond to alarms and small problems before they become big problems. The maintenance people can use it to maintain precise maintenance schedules based on actual run time of the equipment. The benefits of DDC systems are numerous. Added energy efficiency along with other efficiency enhancements makes DDC systems pay for themselves. Pay for themselves in a short period of time.

Direct Digital Controls DDC. DDC Systems or Direct Digital Controls offer a high level of control for building mechanical and electrical systems. Additionally, modern state of the art direct digital controls have the ability to offer trending of equipment. Trending can be used to increase efficiency and to troubleshoot problems with mechanical equipment. DDC integration can occur with any type of mechanical or electrical system in the building. Additionally, the system can communicate via the internet for remote monitoring and control.
