What Metasys sites support spaces and equipment?
What is a space?
A space is the physical location or area that is served by a piece of equipment. The Spaces tree in the Navigation panel lists the spaces that are configured for your site. For more information about how to create spaces, refer to the SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) .
What is equipment?
Equipment is the broad term used to describe the equipment that makes your building run. Equipment includes boilers, chillers, air handling units, lights, meters, security systems, and anything else that is used to maintain your building's environment. Equipment can serve spaces and other equipment.
How do I view my pieces of equipment?
You can view equipment by selecting a space from the Spaces tree. After you select a space, the Space dashboard shows information for the equipment serving the space in various widgets.
You can view all equipment configured to a site in the Building Network tree. The Building Network tree lists equipment and objects, as displayed in the All Items tree in the Site Management Portal (SMP).
You can configure the items and values that are shown for a piece of equipment. Contact your system administrator to change these points in the System Configuration Tool (SCT). For more information, refer to the SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) .
How do I see more information about a piece of equipment?
Tap or click the name of the piece of equipment in any widget to navigate to the Equipment dashboard for that piece of equipment. Alternatively, tap or click the piece of equipment listed in the Building Network tree.
What if multiple pieces of equipment serve the same space?
If multiple pieces of equipment directly serve the selected space (for example, if multiple VAV boxes serve a room), click the piece of equipment to the left or right, and the next piece of equipment appears. Another piece of equipment is available to view when a portion of the equipment pane appears to either the left or right of the current piece of equipment that you are viewing. You can tap or click MORE to view the points for the piece of equipment.
What is a dashboard?
A dashboard organizes and presents the Metasys information in a modular way.
Dashboards are customizable using the Dashboards Manager. For more information, see Dashboards Manager.
What is a widget?
A widget is a container that groups related information together in the Metasys UI . Widgets are organized and presented on the dashboards. Maximize a widget to see a larger view of the information.
What is a viewer?
A viewer is a container similar to a pop-up window. The Metasys UI contains the Custom Trend Viewer that allows you to view historical trend data for up to four points on several pieces of equipment at the same time. You can view up to a year of historical trend data. The Metasys UI also contains the Alarm Manager viewer on desktop and tablet platforms. The Alarm Manager viewer allows you to view all alarms in your Metasys system. The Alarm Manager viewer is an alternative to the Alarm Manager stand-alone, accessed through the separate URL.
