Changing the Measurement System

You change the measurement in WebStation to adapt WebStation to a new region.

Show More
action_close

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

Language

You can display WebStation in another language. The language pack for that language must be installed on the EcoStruxure BMS server that you use.

The change of language affects all users of WebStation that connect to the same EcoStruxure BMS server.

For more information, see Adding a Language in WebStation .  

Measurement Settings

You can select between three different measurement settings in WebStation:

  • As configured in object: The unit that is configured in the EcoStruxure BMS 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.

  • As configured in browser: The unit that is configured in the EcoStruxure BMS server is used for the object.

Important:

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

When you change the measurement settings in WebStation, you affect the display of units in WebStation only. The measurement settings configured in the EcoStruxure BMS server are not affected. For example, your SmartX 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 SmartX server, with WebStation or WorkStation, see the United States Customary Units.

All float values are truncated when converted. Typical float values in EcoStruxure BMS are analog values, such as temperature. Integer values are rounded when converted. Typical integer values in EcoStruxure BMS 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 EcoStruxure BMS 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.

For more information, see Changing the Measurement System .

Date, Time, and Number Format

You can change date, time, and number format so that it suits your needs.

The date, time and number format change is done on user account level. That menas that every user can change date, time and number format so that it suits them. The date, time and number format is not dependent on language setting. For example, it is possible to use English as language but Arabic as date, time and number format.
