Daikin Smart Control System (SCS) Overview
The Daikin Smart Control System (SCS) is the latest innovation in managing hydronic HVAC plants, simplifying system design, installation, and operation. SCS provides a fully integrated Daikin solution, controlling chillers, heat pumps, air handling units (AHUs), and fan coils. The system connects via Modbus protocol through an external panel, ensuring seamless communication and optimised performance across all units.
Daikin Smart Control System (SCS) Overview
The Daikin Smart Control System (SCS) manages and optimises the operation of Daikin HVAC products, including heat pumps, air handling units (AHUs), and fan coils, through Modbus/RS485 communication.
Key components managed by SCS include:
-
Common water outlet temperature sensors connected to the first chiller or heat pump
-
Pumps mounted on chillers
-
Manifolded pumps for larger systems
Scalable Control System Configurations
Daikin’s SCS offers three scalable configurations to suit various project sizes and budgets:
-
Light (up to 500 data points): Manages up to 20 fan coil zones or 10 AHUs
-
Medium (up to 1250 data points): Manages up to 70 fan coil zones or 10 AHUs plus 50 fan coil zones
-
Full (up to 2500 data points): Manages up to 120 fan coil zones or 10 AHUs plus 100 fan coil zones
Each fan coil zone can include up to 30 fan coils, controlled by dedicated Daikin controllers.
