Operator Interface
An operator issues commands or requests to the PXC Compact using an operator
terminal and the operator interface. The operator interface is the software that allows
the operator to communicate interactively with the PXC Compact Series. The operator
interface does the following:
Interprets and processes commands entered from operator terminals.
Formats and sends all output directed to the operator.
Provides levels of operator access that control an operator’s authority to perform
certain functions.
The operator interface is described in detail in the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's
Manual (125-3019) or the APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-
3020). This manual is designed to help you become familiar with and use the operator
interface. It describes the functions necessary for everyday operation of your system,
plus the higher-level functions for commanding, displaying, editing, scheduling,
networking, alarm management, and others.
Field Panel GO
The Field Panel GO license provides a Web-based user interface for your APOGE
Building Automation System. It is an ideal solution for small or remote facilities with
field panels on an Ethernet TCP/IP Automation Level Network (ALN).
A Field Panel GO Web Server-enabled controller can accommodate an unlimited
number of user accounts, with up to two concurrent operator sessions. And each user
account can be defined with customized levels of access and privileges to the system.
Field Panel GO encompasses the following operator applications:
Alarm Status and acknowledgement
Graphical Monitoring and Control
Point Commander
Schedule Overrides
Status Reporting
Historical Data Reporting
Setup and Customization

GO.
