Data shall be output from the BMS in the appropriate protocol to the appropriate ELV
Building System. Note that it shall be possible to output the same data in different protocols
to different ELV Building Systems.
D. Information shall be output from the BMS when:
1. Requested by the operator. This includes requests made by the operator for the
immediate output of specific information and requests for information that are
optional and have been pre-programmed by the operator for display.
2. Scheduled by the operator. An example of this might be the output of a report at an
operator-defined time of day.
3. An alarm condition has been detected by the BMS. All alarm conditions detected by
the BMS shall be annunciated as detailed elsewhere in this section.
E. The operator interfaces for the Operator Interface Workstation and the Portable Operator
Terminal shall be the same.
F. The graphical user operator interface shall be "user friendly". The interface shall be such
that there is no need for the operator to reference documentation other than "help" menus on
the system in order for the operator to perform his normal duties after the training has been
received, as detailed in these specifications.
G. The operator interface shall be English language with metric units. The system shall be
capable of converting all engineering unit displays into the equivalent English values and
displaying such values with the appropriate unit identifiers. The switchover from metric to
English and vice versa shall be done with a single operator command. The engineering unit
switchover shall be for all measured and displayed variables and calculated points. Unit
conversion and display shall be carried through all possible display view including graphical
displays, text base displays, and software application packages.
H. The performance criteria detailed in these specifications for the operator interface shall
apply when all BMS are in their completed form and all software and hardware functions
are operational.
I. The terminal server operating system shall be Microsoft Windows 2003, Enterprise Edition,
operating software or the latest version of this software at the time of implementation. The
terminal Server applications software shall have a history of application in multi-vendor
environments.
J. The software
shall be acceptable to all potential BMS Specialists. The terminal server
software package shall have a successful history of use with BACnet/IP and shall
incorporate all drivers required to meet these specifications.
