Figure 1. Insight Base Main Menu.
Description
The Insight® Base Workstation software transforms a
personal computer into a powerful and economical
Insight workstation.
Insight Base Workstation provides an easy-to-use
interface to manage and control a building with a true
multi-tasking operating environment that gives the
workstation the ability to efficiently perform many tasks
simultaneously. The Insight software, combined with
the multi-tasking environment of Windows Server
2012/2008, provides ease-of-use, power, connectivity,
and manageability.
With the Insight Base Workstation, you can:
· Graphically monitor and control the facility
environment.
· Schedule and modify mechanical equipment
operations.
· Run reports on various system conditions.
· Collect and view trend information.
· Expand the workstation capabilities whenever
needed with an expandable feature set.
· Connect other Insight workstations together, with
centralized system management, using the
networking features.
Purpose
The Insight software provides the latest in user
interface design. The user interface is designed to
simplify the tasks an operator commonly performs.
Navigation
The Insight workstation provides the most advanced
graphical interface in the industry. Operators can
quickly and easily access any application on the
workstation. Additionally, you can share information
among applications by simply “dragging and dropping”.
This increases an operator’s productivity by eliminating
the need to copy data from one application and paste
to another.
Expandability
Expandability is available through the use of options
purchased separately for the system.
Flexibility
Provides support for a combination of Ethernet®,
BACnet®/IP, BACnet over Ethernet, RS-485, and
dedicated autodial connections (only with RS-485
networks) to field panel networks simultaneously.
Each Insight workstation can manage up to 64 logical
Ethernet Automation Level Networks (EALN) and each
Ethernet ALN can be defined with up to 100 nodes,
with an overall performance limit of up to 6400
Ethernet field panel nodes per Insight workstation.
