MCA Systems Limited specialise in Control & Management  Systems for the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning  Industry

Established in 1980, MCA  Systems have built up an  excellent reputation throughout  the trade which has now made  them one of the leading Control,  Ventillation and BEMS specialists  in Northern Ireland.  The company supplies controls to  the industrial, commercial and  residential sectors.  In order to maintain their  reputation for high standards of  workmanship, commitment and  service, MCA Systems have  established policies which allow  them to maintain the required  level of quality to keep their BE  EN ISO 9002 rating. This,  coupled with the experience and  expertise of their engineers and  the provision of only quality  equipment, helps to hold them in  high esteem throughout the trade.  As well as manufacturing their  own control panels, MCA  Systems are a local agent for  Honeywell and Siemens and are  the sole Northern Ireland  Approved Cylon Systems  integrator (ACSI) and authorised  agents. Through the Cylon  Building Energy Management  Systems, MCA are able to  provide total building  management of HVAC, lighting  and automated monitoring and  targeting (AMT). Indeed, the  latest release from Cylon allows  seamless integration through  existing TCP/IP networks, giving  the end user total access to their  building controls within the  familiar surroundings of standard  web pages.  The innovative systems designed  to provide the environmental  control within the new Giant’s  Causeway Visitors Centre will  operate under the dictates of a  Cylon Building Management  System, programmed and set to  work in conjunction with Bennett  Robertson Design.  The BMS system is made  modular in nature and shall permit  expansion in both capability and  functionality through the addition  of sensors, actuators, DDC  Controllers, Application Specific  Controllers and operator devices.  DDC Controllers will be able to  access any data from any other  DDC Controller or combination of  controllers on the network without  dependence upon a central  processing device. DDC  Controllers shall also be able to  send alarm reports to a remote  workstation without dependence  upon a central processing device.  The installed system includes a  Web-based supervisory package  which will allow the BMS to be  monitored and adjusted using a  familiar web browser environment  – over the internet, through a local  intranet, or on a PC connected  directly to the BMS controllers.  It will allow the end user to  retrieve logged point data and full  alarm management with the  flexibility of alarm notification via  email if required. User log-on and  password protection shall be a  fundamental requirement, and  through this access privileges  shall be assigned.
