WorkStation Overview
WorkStation is your main interface to your EcoStruxure BMS. You use WorkStation to perform all work on a daily basis in the EcoStruxure BMS.
You log on to WorkStation to securely access the functions in WorkStation. You log on to WorkStation as a Windows user or an EcoStruxure Building Operation user. Your system administrator decides which type of user you log on as.
For more information, see Log on to WorkStation or WebStation .
System Registration
As the owner, you register your EcoStruxure BMS to ensure that you are informed in the unlikely event of any critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities that have been discovered in the version you are running, and your system integrator for some reason is unavailable. The information we collect makes potential onboarding to other digital services from Schneider Electric quicker and easier. The information will also help Schneider Electric make more informed decisions in future product development.
For more information, see System Registration .
User Experience
The Work area in the EcoStruxure Building Operation user interfaces may vary depending on how it is set up. A typical EcoStruxure Building Operation workspace contains panes and views.
For more information, see User Experience .
Customization
In WorkStation you can customize your workspace to some extent. You can, for example, decide where workspace components, such as Alarms, are displayed.
For more information, see Customization .
Basic Functions
To get a better view of the objects in views and lists, you can use a number of functions like filtering, grouping, and sorting.
For more information, see Basic Functions .
Handle Values
You can change and force values using a graphic or the Properties pane. Using the Watch pane in WorkStation, you can dynamically monitor a value.
For more information, see Modify Values .
How Alarms Work
You are notified by alarms when some important event occurs. For example, if the temperature is too low or too high in a building, if a window is open, or if a fire device is out of order. The system administrator sets up the alarms and decides to whom the alarm is sent.
For more information, see How Alarms Work .
How Events Work
All system events, as well as information and circumstances, are recorded in the Event log. These event records can be viewed in the Events pane or in an Event View.
For more information, see How Events Work .
How Schedules Work
Schedules are used to schedule the operation of parts of the BMS, such as a device or a setpoint. For example, a you can set up a schedule to make a device to operate between 08:00 and 17:00 every workday.
For more information, see How Schedules Work in Building Operation .
How Trend Logs Work
You use trend logs to record values from devices, such as sensors. A trend log can also log consumptions, such as energy consumption or water consumption.
For more information, see How Trend Logs Work .
How Graphics Work
You use graphics to display building overviews, display the status of detectors and alarms, display the value of sensors, or change setpoints. A graphic can also contain links to trend charts, trend log lists, Internet sites, or views in WorkStation and WebStation.
For more information, see How Graphics Work in Building Operation .
How Documents Work
You can open documents stored on an EcoStruxure BMS server using the default program associated with the file type. For example, a txt-file opens Notepad and a ppt-file opens PowerPoint.
