With the ADS-Lite-A, Johnson Controls has combined the latest industry-standard software with more than 130 years of control experience to create a powerful information management tool. The ADS-Lite-A is the point of access into a building automation system (BAS) and archives historical and configuration data.
The Metasys UI has been designed to encourage system use and reduce training needs with intuitive operating procedures. Operators quickly learn to use the system effectively and take full advantage of the ADS-Lite-A capabilities, which include user graphics, alarm and event management, trend data presentation, system summaries, and reports. The integration of IT and Internet communication and security technologies enables the ADSLite-A to be used within the existing networking infrastructure of buildings and enterprises. The ADS-Lite-A can be accessed by multiple client computers from any location on the network, and enterprise systems can read the data in the ADS-Lite-A database for business planning and energy management purposes.
The ADS Lite-A manages the collection and presentation of large amounts of trend data, event messages, operator transactions, and system configuration data. As Site Director, the ADS-Lite-A provides secure communication to a network of engines including the NAE45-Lite, SNE110L and NIE29/NIE39/NIE49. The ADS-Lite-A supports robust features and capabilities that continue to position the Metasys system as the leading building automation system in the industry, including:
• Building Network tree allows for faster delivery of the Metasys User Interface (UI) by enabling its deployment prior to the spaces and equipment configuration process. It also provides a familiar navigation experience for Metasys operators who have previous experience using the All Items tree of the Site Management Portal.
• Advanced Search and Reporting in the Metasys UI allows Metasys operators to find and report on operational data and make bulk commands to restore order more quickly. The Advanced Search and Reporting feature provides Metasys users the ability to quickly search Metasys objects by Building Network, equipment, equipment type, or space.
• Custom Dashboards for the Metasys User Interface. Custom dashboards enable Metasys UI designers to create dashboards that provide the most relevant and critical information to Metasys operators for enhanced productivity and creates an experience that mimics users operational styles for ease of use.
• Graphics Custom Behaviors provide Metasys UI designers the flexibility to use custom symbols that are required for their individual building or campus needs or their local standards.
