MCE BMS-LINK provides elevator visibility and control through your Building Management System

BMS-LINK™ from Motion Control Engineering allows integration of iControl, Motion 2000, and Motion 4000 into your Building Management System and third party monitoring systems.
Powered by ASHRAE’s standard and developed by MCE, BMS-LINK makes available the BACnet™ open protocol to Building Management Systems.

For the first time, vertical transportation systems are open to the BMS, providing occupant visibility on real-time car position, current and intended floor information, door position, direction of travel, active floor calls, selected direction, and current car mode/service status. Each BMS-Link can connect to up to 4 elevator systems
(groups or simplexes) to the buildings monitoring system. Additional BMS-Link gateways can be added to scale to any project size.

Through BMS-LINK, you can connect the elevators to any third party monitoring systems that speak BACnet™ over IP. Our gateway has two independent ethernet ports to allow for keeping the elevators detached from the building monitoring network.

The BMS-Link provides a data connection to system integrators. Graphical user interfaces are not included, but can be developed outside of MCE with this data to match the rest of a smart Building Management System.

Test screen included in BMS-LINK to verify proper receipt of data. Use as a data template to create a screen to suit your environment.

BMS-LINK Connectivity

BMS-LINK uses the Niagara Framework developed by Tridium. The framework is a field-proven Java implementation that provides a reliable structure through which intelligent equipment may connect in a machine-to-machine environment. Motion Control Engineering and Gemini Information Systems developed the software structure that integrates MCE iControl, Motion 2000, and Motion 4000 elevator controls and Motion 3000 escalator controls into this robust environment.

*MCE Legacy and third party manufacturer controls require an MCE-provided interface and must meet certain criteria. Please contact MCE for more information.
