You can adapt WebStation to your own region regarding units and language.

Measurement Settings

You can select between three different measurement settings in WebStation:

  • As configured in object : The unit that is configured in the SmartStruxure server is used for the object.

  • International System of Units (metric) : WebStation displays all units in the International System of Units, such as Celcius and meter.

  • United States Customary Units : WebStation displays all units in United States Customary Units, such as Farenheit and feet.

Important:

The only exception is is that values in the Alarm View are displayed as configured in the SmartStruxure server.

When you change the measurement settings in WebStation, you affect the display of units in WebStation only. The measurement settings configured in the SmartStruxure server is not affected. For example, your Automation Server is located in the USA and uses the United States Customary Units and you change the measurement settings in WebStation to International System of Units. Other users that connect to the same Automation Server, with WebStation or WorkStation, see the United States Customary Units.

All float values are truncated when converted. Typical float values in Building Operation are analog values, such as temperature. Integer values are rounded when converted. Typical integer values in Building Operation are multistate values. 

The measurement setting follows the standard for how units are converted. Units can also be converted in the server using the unit converter. This conversion affects the conversion in WebStation. For example, if the unit conversion in the server is set to convert Celsius to Kelvin, Kelvin is displayed in WebStation even when you use the measurement setting for United States Customary Units.

Language

You change WebStation to be displayed in another language. The language pack for that language must be installed on the SmartStruxure server that you use.
