In a hyperscale or co-location facility, controls can’t live in silos. Cooling, containment, leak detection, and critical power monitoring have to land in one operational picture built on a secure backbone and delivered with commissioning-ready documentation.
Process Equipment and Controls is a building management system integrator and data center controls contractor for BMS, EPMS integration, and data center SCADA. We engineer Honeywell-based architectures that communicate over BACnet/IP and secure Modbus TCP, supported by a fiber backbone.
MEP engineers, commissioning agents, GC PMs, and owners need integration partners who can translate design intent into installed, testable systems. Our scope is structured to match how data centers are designed, built, and proven so there’s less ambiguity and fewer turnover surprises.
You get one team for design documentation, field execution, programming, and handoff support. That continuity reduces the “vendor gap” between mechanical, electrical, and OT contractors.
We design and integrate the supervisory platform that monitors and controls mechanical systems supporting IT loads, while coordinating the electrical visibility required for unified operations built for uptime.
Typical BMS subsystems include:
For EPMS and SCADA, we define clear data boundaries and exchange only the required points, often read-only. The result is better correlation between cooling performance and power conditions without introducing unnecessary control dependencies.
Integration succeeds or fails on communications architecture. We develop redundant Division 27 fiber backbone strategies that support OT segmentation, deterministic addressing, and VLAN plans so controls traffic stays where it belongs and integrations remain verifiable.
Field communications commonly use BACnet/IP for BMS and Modbus TCP for EPMS/SCADA exchange. We document point naming, network diagrams, and interface rules so commissioning teams can test confidently and operations can troubleshoot quickly.
Our design and engineering packages are developed for the way data centers are reviewed, coordinated, and commissioned. Deliverables typically include control schematics, I/O schedules, network diagrams, and coordination drawings aligned to mechanical and electrical disciplines.
We also produce detailed control narratives and sequences of operation (SOO) for each major system, plus addressing and VLAN documentation consistent with OT requirements. This keeps testing predictable.
We mount and terminate Honeywell supervisory and field controllers, I/O modules, and sensors, and we integrate leak-detection cable and sensor arrays under raised floors. Control panels are typically Owner-Furnished / Contractor-Installed (OFCI) unless directed otherwise.
Control cabling often includes Cat 6A STP and 18/2 plenum routed via J-hooks, ladder tray, and Division 27 supports. We label cables and devices per TIA/EIA-606-B and Section 260553 so as-builts are consistent and handoff is painless.
We program Honeywell controllers to match the facility’s performance intent, including chiller plant lead/lag, CRAH staging, supply-air reset, and pump speed control sequences. We build alarms, trends, and operator graphics that help teams see issues early and respond with confidence.
For integrations, we exchange required points with EPMS and data center SCADA over secure Modbus TCP links. When needed, we implement user authentication through Active Directory (AD) integration to align controls access with the owner’s policies.
Integration isn’t complete at “download successful.” We execute 100% point-to-point verification for all I/O so every sensor, status, and command is validated end-to-end before functional testing begins.
We support Level 4 Functional Performance Testing (FPT) for each mechanical system and Level 5 Integrated System Testing (IST) with mechanical, electrical, and commissioning teams. Final trend validation confirms temperature, humidity, and pressure stability so operations inherits a system that behaves, not just a system that runs.
Our data center work extends beyond software integration—we also deliver the physical pathways that make reliable communications possible. Recent work has included OSP campus connectivity and in-building fiber pulls and terminations, including 6-, 12-, 24-, 96-, and 288-strand runs for multi-building connectivity.
We’ve also supported bonding in data halls, basket tray for power and data, and pathway scopes such as under-slab routing, manhole sets, and directional boring. On many sites, we’re concurrently engaged for low/medium voltage work, temporary power, security, transformers, and grounding—coordinated to keep the campus moving.
If you need data center BMS integration with clear Division 25 scope, a Division 27 backbone strategy, and commissioning-ready delivery, contact us today to discuss architecture and testing expectations.
