 Unified Web Front End for Intelligent Buildings

WebLink is a web browser based interface providing real-time displays of building control system information, and is the heart of the ASI unified intelligent building interface. WebLink users can easily be setup to access ASI ZoneDial afterhours overrides management software over a single sign-on integration. WebLink also seamlessly integrates CCTV and DVR video feeds, access control, and other building control web servers to provide a truly comprehensive building automation system front end. Automated notifications can be sent individual recipients, or a group, via cell phone or email. You manage user logins, and grant security privileges appropriate to the level of responsibility. You control what data shows up on each view screen, and who can change setpoints or other system parameters. WebLink connects ASI systems to the internet, and can also be used on an intranet or direct connection.
 

 Energy Use Accounting and Invoicing for Cost Recovery

ZoneDial provides users with a web browser and/or telephone interface with which to manage afterhours overrides and other building services on an ASI Controls building automation system. Features include tenant self-administration, unlimited scheduling of future overrides, optional tenant invoice previews, formatted tenant invoices, and more. ZoneDial creates an audit trail for every step of a user’s interaction, providing detailed information to resolve any billing questions. An ASI Controls integrated solution combining WebLink and ZoneDial enables scheduling of energy use with accountability, can reduce building engineering and management support requirements, delivers automated system event notifications via email or text message, and simplifies tenant energy cost recovery.

ZoneDial can be deployed in conjunction with WebLink to provide a smoothly integrated single sign-on experience for users. WebLink provides security filtering by role, group, and login to enable context-appropriate access for every building user.

 Graphical Drag-and-Drop Controller Configuration

ASI Visual Expert drag and drop graphical configuration software provides visual programming of ASIC/2 configurable controllers. Data is displayed live on the configuration screen to simplify initial setup and assist with remote troubleshooting. This Microsoft Windows based application includes drag and drop assembly of control sequences, intuitive "connect the inputs and outputs" logic, self-generated HTML bitmaps to document the project control sequences and more. Portions of a sequence can be exported as a function group and re-used on other projects, boosting your productivity and enhancing quality control. Visual Expert simplifies the job of configuring building automation controls so you can focus on the bigger picture without getting bogged down in line by line programming.

MobileXpert is a lightweight, feature-rich version of ASI Visual Expert that runs on a Windows Mobile based PDA or smartphone such as the Samsung i760 device. MobileXpert is a valuable tool for field service personnel, onsite maintenance personnel, and for building engineers involved in system commissioning. It includes built-in screens to support air balancing, and can be used to adjust setpoints and initiate afterhours overrides.

ASI Controls offers the ASI LinkOPC Server to enable connectivity to other controls manufacturers' OPC Servers. OPC is a data exchange standard that is commonly used in industrial process control settings. With hardware and software that supports the OPC standards, users can interoperate OPC enabled controllers and devices from multiple manufacturers.
