BASview data SHEET BASview — a simple web-based graphical interface BASview is a stand-alone, embedded, web-based graphical interface for building automation and process automation systems. It can be accessed from any web browser — providing client functionality to any BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP system. By using Contemporary Controls BASrouter or BASgateway products, additional protocols such as BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII are supported. Additional USB modules are available which allow the BASview to communicate directly with MS/TP, Modbus RTU and LON devices. BASview will automatically toggle outputs and change setpoints on schedule, collect runtime and trend data, and monitor alarm conditions. As an embedded device, BASview uses Flash memory for internal storage instead of a hard disk to maintain its ruggedness. The BASview is totally self-contained, requiring no external PC or application for its use. Any number of web browser users can access the device. The only requirement is the installation of an Adobe Flash player in the browser. There are no other licensing requirements to use the product. The BASview is simple to install and use. A 10/100 Mbps The BASview is ideal for small to medium buildings or Ethernet connection is all that is needed. Client features processes that require a simple-to-use graphical include animated graphic screens, scheduling, historical interface with no licensing requirements. trending, runtime accumulation and alarm monitoring.

Data Sheet — BASview BASview — Overview The BASview is housed in a compact metal enclosure that is panel mounted. It requires a 5 VDC voltage source and is shipped with a universal mains input power supply. Internally powered by a 200 MHz ARM9 CPU, it has 64 MB SDRAM and 512 MB NAND flash memory for data storage. Besides the single Ethernet RJ-45 shielded connector, there are two USB ports reserved for proprietary I/O expansion. The device has a watchdog timer for automatic recovery and a battery-backed real-time clock. Simply connect the device to a BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP Ethernet network...

Data Sheet — BASview The User Home Page — Toolbar Each user has access to a personal home page that contains a custom toolbar at the top and a device tree on the left side. Depending upon user rights, the user can add devices and points from the system being monitored and define services such as scheduling, trending and alarming. Up to 100 users can be authorized to belong into one of 100 possible user groups. User groups define the permission levels. The toolbar at the top of the screen is used to access several features. The exact buttons displayed depend on the access permissions of the...

Data Sheet — BASview The User Home Page — Device Tree The device tree appears on Ihe left side of the main window. It displays all interactive items in the system. Each type of item is represented by one of the following icons: Alarms — Monitors specified conditions and then —■ generates alarm message and optional email . , Calculations — Reads the value of one or more points and performs a calculation on them. For example, averaging several temperatures. Devices — Any physical device, panel or I/O unit Drivers — A physical network or logical grouping of devices based on the protocol they...

Data Sheet — BASview Configuring a System The first step in the configuration process is to add a driver based on the network protocol being monitored. There are five possible resident drivers and multiple drivers can be loaded, if desired. BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP are Ethernet-based and thus require no additional hardware. These can be used with external Modbus serial to Modbus TCP routers such as the BASremote or BASgateway or BACnet MS/TP to BACnet IP routers such as the BASrouter. The BASview supports direct connection to Modbus RTU and MS/TP networks using the modules shown to the...

Data Sheet — BASview Scheduling Schedules allow for control of several points based on the time of day within a seven-day week. A schedule is active if the current time of day falls within one of its specified time periods. Up to 32 points can be controlled by a schedule. An active and inactive value are defined for each point. For example, the schedule is active from 8 am to 6 pm and a setpoint is modified to 72°F during active periods and to 78°F during inactive periods. Each day of the week has a horizontal bar where time periods are displayed. These settings can be changed if the...

Data Sheet — BASview Trending Trends automatically record point values at specified intervals of time to allow for later viewing. Up to six points may be specified for a trend. Both a graphical line chart and a tabular text view are available per trend. A pop-up calendar makes it easy to choose the date and time. An option allows you to export your data. better viewing. Up to six variables can be trended on the two charts. In the background a grid shows where the value and time scales intersect. With the mouse hovering over the intersection of a chart line and a grid line, information about...
