Insight—Advanced Workstation
Figure 1. Insight Advanced Main Menu.
Description
The Insight

Advanced Workstation transforms a
personal computer into a powerful Insight workstation.
The Insight Advanced Workstation provides a
graphical approach to manage and control a building
from an easy-to-use interface. Additionally, the Insight
Advanced Workstation provides for facility-wide
efficiencies and cost-effective information sharing.
With the Insight Advanced Workstation you can:
 Graphically monitor and control the building
environment.
 Schedule and modify mechanical equipment
operation and automatic report generation.
 Collect, view, and analyze trend information.
 Connect other Insight workstations together, with
centralized system management, using the
networking feature.
 Perform many tasks simultaneously (multi-task)
through Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012 R2
or Windows 7/8.1.
 Troubleshoot and tune the system with Dynamic
Plotter.
 Make management decisions with information and
reporting capabilities.
 Store and retrieve long-term information.
 Edit and modify all system databases.
Purpose
Insight software provides the latest in user interface
design. This 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 in the
workstation. Additionally, you can carry and exchange
information among Insight 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.
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.
Each workstation can manage up to 4 dedicated
Automation Level Networks (RS-485 ALN), and each
RS-485 ALN can support up to 100 nodes. Each
Insight workstation can manage up to 8 autodial
modems, servicing up to 300 remote autodial RS-485
ALN sites.
