56 4 Basic Functions 4.17 Regional Settings 4.17 Regional Settings You can adapt WebStation to your own region regarding units and language Measurement Settings You can select between three different measurement settings in WebStation: As configured in object: The unit that is configured in the server is used for the object. International System of Units (metric): WebStation displays all units in the International System of Units, such as Celcius and meter. United States Customary Units: WebStation displays all units in United States Customary Units, such as Farenheit and feet. Important The only exception is is that values in the Alarm View are displayed as configured in the server. When you change the measurement settings in WebStation, you affect the display of units in WebStation only. The measurement settings configured in the Enterprise Server or Automation Server is not affected. For example, your Automation Server is located in the USA and uses the United States Customary Units and you change the measurement settings in WebStation to International System of Units. Other users that connect to the same Automation Server, with WebStation or WorkStation, see the United States Customary Units. All float values are truncated when converted. Typical float values in Building Operation are analog values, such as temperature. Integer values are rounded when converted. Typical integer values in Building Operation are multistate values. The measurement setting follows the standard for how units are converted. Units can also be converted in the server using the unit converter. This conversion affects the conversion in WebStation. For example, if the unit conversion in the server is set to convert Celsius to Kelvin, Kelvin is displayed in WebStation even when you use the measurement setting for United States Customary Units Language You change WebStation to be displayed in another language. The language pack for that language must be installed on the Automation Server or Enterprise Server that you use. WebStation en, October

59 4 Basic Functions 4.20 Panels 4.20 Panels Panels are a way to create workspaces that display two or more components in Building Operation, for example graphics, trend charts, trend list and alarm viewers. Panels are normally created by the engineer or the site administrator. The main advantage with panels is that a lot of components can be reached very easily at the same time. A panel can also be adapted for a specific type of user. For example a user responsible of a specific part of a site may have a panel that displays an alarm view with relevant alarms and trend logs that measures the energy consumptions for that part of the site.

85 8 Alarms 8.1 How Alarms Work 8.1 How Alarms Work You are notified by alarms when some important event occurs. For example, if the temperature is too low or too high in a building, if a window is open, or if something is broken, such as a fan. The system administrator sets up the alarms and decides to whom the alarm is sent. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm is displayed in a list together with information about the alarm and its current status. In the list, you can manage the alarms, for example, acknowledge, accept, and comment alarms. In addition, you can sort, hide, and disable alarms in the list. You can also open a detail view to get information on all properties of an alarm. Figure: Alarm list Alarm Acknowledgement When you acknowledge an alarm, you let other users know that you have seen the alarm. Acknowledging an alarm does not necessary mean that you are responsible for solving the cause of the alarm.

These event records can be viewed in the Events pane or in an Event View. Events can tell you when someone logged on or off the system, when a setpoint was changed, if a notificaton was written to a file, if an notification was sent or not and when an object was created. For example, Events can tell you when a trend log or an alarm was created, and by whom. The event log also records when servers were online or offline and when the software was upgraded. The event log is useful for tracking down all information in your system. You can create and use more than one Event View. Each Event View and the Events pane can be customized with an event filter to only show the information you are interested in. You can view all events that have been generated from one object in the system using the View command in the Actions menu.

A trend chart series that presents a trend log in local time is automatically updated with the latest records, provided that Live update is activated. A trend chart series that presents records from a field controller trend log needs to be refreshed manually. There is no upper limitation of how many trend logs a trend chart can present. However, the performance decreases as the number of displayed trend logs increase.

142 12 Trends 12.7 Trend Charts Figure: Trend chart, schematic When a trend chart presents records live from an extended trend log, the latest records of the connected trend log are frequently transferred to the extended trend log. This decreases the delay that can occur when the extended trend log has to wait for the transfer threshold to be reached before new records from the trend log are transferred. With this method, the trend chart presents the latest records. WebStation en, October

The real-time plot is an instant reflection of the variable, so the history of the real-time plot is lost when the trend chart is closed. However, the history is not lost for I/O points that have implicit logs where approximately 500 records of history are displayed. A realtime plot has to be displayed in local time mode because the variable is displayed in real time.

197 18 Schedules 18.1 How Schedules Work 18.1 How Schedules Work Schedules are used to schedule the operation of part of the building management system, such as a fan, a door, or a setpoint. Using a schedule, a fan can be set to operate between 08:00 and 17:00 every workday. Schedules can be overridden by different types of exceptions. For example, if you want to shut the fan down the last Friday in every month due to maintenance, you can use a calculated exception. The exception is added to the schedule and turns off the fan the last Friday in every month. If you want to shut down the fan during the summer vacation, you can use a Calendar exception. In this case, you use an already created calendar that defines the summer vacation. This calendar is added to the schedule as an exception and the fan will be shut down during all days of the summer vacation defined by the calendar en, October 2012 WebStation 197

209 18 Schedules 18.9 Schedule Events 18.9 Schedule Events A schedule can have two types of events: weekly events and exception events. Weekly events occur every week at a specified time. Exception events occur when the schedule deviates from the weekly schedule, such as during holidays. Exception events occur instead of the weekly events. For each schedule, you can set a default value. The default value goes into effect after the exception events and weekly events are complete or relinquish control. For example, the weekly event for a fan ends at 17:00. The fan ran at a value of 3 (high) throughout the event. There are no scheduled events after the weekly event. Because you have assigned 0 as the default value, the fan adjusts to the default value and turns to 0 (off). The value remains at 0 until the next scheduled event. Events occur in the following order of precedence: Exception events Weekly events Default value Weekly Events in WorkStation A weekly event occurs every week for an extended period of time on a regular basis. You can schedule more than one weekly event for each day of the week. For more information, see WebHelp Weekly Events in WebStation A weekly event occurs every week for an extended period of time on a regular basis. You can schedule more than one weekly event for each day of the week. For more information, see section Weekly Events in WebStation on page Exception Events in WorkStation An exception event occurs instead of the scheduled weekly events for either a single date, a date range, a calculated date, or a calendar reference.

210 18 Schedules 18.9 Schedule Events Priorities Priority is a number that corresponds to a preassigned level of importance. When used in schedules, priority numbers include 1 through is the most important and highest priority. Exception events always take precedence over weekly events. When two exception events conflict, there is a specific way to determine which event takes precedence. For exception events you can assign priorities to determine the order of their precedence. By default, all exception events have a priority of 16, which is the lowest priority. You can change that number to a higher priority from 1 to 15. For more information, see WebHelp Time Zones When you create a schedule, the time zone of the server that contains the schedule determines the execution of the events. If the schedule is copied to a server in a different time zone, the specified dates and times relate to the new time zone. For more information, see WebHelp. WebStation en, October

211 18 Schedules Weekly Events in WebStation Weekly Events in WebStation A weekly event occurs every week for an extended period of time on a regular basis. You can schedule more than one weekly event for each day of the week. For example, in an analog schedule, for Monday, you schedule an air vent in a gym to open to 40 % at 08:00 for a yoga class. For a more intense class at 10:00, you schedule the air vent to open to 100 % until 13:00. Finally, at 13:00, you schedule the air vent to close to 60 % until 20:00.

219 18 Schedules Schedule Types Schedule Types You can create three types of schedules: Digital, Multistate, or Analog. You create a digital schedule if the schedule needs to control a device with two output states, such as On or Off. You create a multistate schedule if the schedule needs to control a device that has output states based on multiple states, such as low, medium, or high. You create an analog schedule if the schedule controls a device that gauges the output in real numbers. You create schedules using WorkStation Analog Schedules An analog schedule controls a device that gauges the output in real numbers. The real numbers include positive or negative numbers, fractions, and decimal values. For example, a thermostat controls the temperature in a room. To regulate the temperature, you can adjust a thermostat by tenths of a degree to accommodate the needs of the people occupying the room. For more information, see section Analog Schedules on page Digital Schedules A digital schedule controls a device that has an on output state and an off output state.
