Tips to Improve Performance of BACnet Field Panel
Web Server
Allow Browser Caching of Adobe Flash Player
This setting will be particularly helpful once the panel database is stable. This allows
the BACnet Field Panel Web Server to keep information about the panel database
without needing to continuously read it from the panel.
1. Right click while in a browser and accessing the BACnet Field Panel Web Server.
2. Click Settings.
3. In the Adobe Flash Player Settings window, open the folder (icon) tab.
4. Choose a local storage setting appropriate to the system being used.
Distribute Points from a Particular Panel among Several Graphics
Loading a graphic with a large number of points from a single panel may degrade the
performance of the panel and will cause it to take longer to load and report changes of
values (COVs). Particularly, the loading of a graphic with points from a PXC-16 or
PXC-24, or their associated FLN devices, will occur more slowly, since these panels
use a slower processor with lower memory.
To improve performance when loading graphics, distribute the points from the panel
among several different graphics files.
Use Device Template Graphics for Viewing FLN Device Points on a
Graphic
For information about creating Device Template graphics (also called
relativizing ), see
the
Create Device Templates section.
Limit Open Tabs to Six
In order to improve performance, in the Siemens FINlite graphics utility program and in
the Web Server user interface, it is recommended to limit the total number of tabs that
are open simultaneously to six (6). This means that exceeding six open tabs in any
combination of editors or graphics files may diminish performance.
