Integrated Sites: HVAC & Security
Integrated sites: HVAC & Security If an integrated (HVAC and Security) site chooses to upgrade, they will need to have two parallel user interfaces: StruxureWare Building Operation for BMS (non-security) I/NET Seven Workstation for Security Security functionality (e.g. personnel and zone management) must still be done from I/NET; these features are not available in StruxureWare Building Operation Some day-to-day security functions can be done on a StruxureWare Building Operation WorkStation (some with the support of the I/NET Host Tool): Receive and acknowledge security related alarms Monitor/change values – e.g. door status, unlock door
Access to security objects Security controllers (e.g. SCU), and security related points will be “found” during the I/NET network discovery process Administrators can choose to separate these objects from being accessed through StruxureWare Building Operation Only perform “Upload” action on I/NET devices with HVAC points Delete “security only I/NET devices” (e.g. SCU) and security points in “integrated I/NET devices” (e.g. MCI) from the Enterprise Server tree view Optional Delete
