finalizing the content for their particular projects.
3. Dynamic temperature values, humidity values, flow values and status indication shall be
shown in their actual respective locations within the system schematics or graphic floor
plan displays, and shall automatically update to represent current conditions without
operator intervention and without pre-defined screen refresh rates.
a. Provide the user the ability to display real-time point values by animated motion or
custom picture control visual representation. Animation shall depict movement of
mechanical equipment, or air or fluid flow. Provide users the ability to depict
various positions in relation to assigned point values or ranges. A library (set) of
animated symbols shall be included within the operator interface software’s
graphics application. Animation shall reflect, ON or OFF conditions, and shall also
be optionally configurable for animation speed.
b. Ability to add custom gauges and charts to graphic pages.
c. Equipment state or values can be changed by clicking on the associated point block
or graphic symbol and selecting the new state (on/off) or setpoint.
d. State text for digital points can be user-defined.
4. Colors or other visual changes shall be available to indicate status and change as the
status of the equipment changes. The state colors shall be user definable.
5. The Windows environment of the PC operator workstation shall allow the user to
simultaneously view several applications at a time to analyze total building operation or
to allow the display of a graphic associated with an alarm to be viewed without
interrupting work in progress.
6. All required software shall be provided to allow the user to add, modify or delete system
graphic background displays.
7. A clipart library of HVAC application and automation symbols shall be provided
including fans, valves, motors, chillers, AHU systems, standard ductwork diagrams and
laboratory symbols. The user shall have the ability to add custom symbols to the clipart
library. The clipart library shall include a minimum of 400 application symbols. In
addition, a library consisting of a minimum of at least100 graphic background templates
shall be provided.
8. The Graphics application shall include a set of standard Terminal Equipment controller
application-specific background graphic templates. Templates shall provide the automatic
display of a selected Terminal Equipment controller’s control values and parameters,
without the need to create separate and individual graphic files for each controller.
9. The Graphics application shall be capable of automatically assigning the appropriate
symbol for an object (point) selected to be displayed on the graphic based on what the
object represents (fan, duct sensor, damper, etc.)
S. System Configuration & Definition
1. The system shall be fully configurable from clients running in a browser, installed client
console, or Windows desktop app.
2. Users must be able to build multiple, separate, personalized hierarchical “tree” views that
represent the workstation, control systems, geographical facility layouts, and mechanical
equipment relationships.
3. Network wide control strategies shall not be restricted to a single Building Controller, but
shall be able to include data from any and all other network panels to allow the
development of Global control strategies.
4. Provide automatic backup and restore of all Building Controller databases on the
workstation hard disk. In addition, all database changes shall be performed while the
workstation is on-line without disrupting other system operations. Changes shall be
automatically recorded and downloaded to the appropriate Building Controller. Changes
