12. or Workstation User s Manual PC Groups Slide Show Password The PC group level of organization allows operators to group related systems For example operators might want to group all systems from one side of a facility in a PC group called WESTWING A PC group can contain systems or other PC groups PC groups can be up to three levels deep The PC group level is for the convenience of the operator only Since it is not global data it is unique to the workstation where the group is defined and is not used by the Metasys program to identify objects only system object names are used to identify objects However PC group names are included in change of state and alarm reports at the workstation to help operators quickly locate the source of alarms When no one is currently logged on to the OWS a slide show appears This slide show is a series of images that can represent a company logo or the buildings floor plans and equipment in your facility Each image is displayed for a defined period before the slide show cycles to the next image If a slide show is not defined the Johnson Controls logo appears on the screen or an error message appears stating that no slide show is defined Note Critical Alarm messages display over the slide show However operators must log on to respond to the alarms Passwords protect the security of the BAS The password determines facility access For example if your password does not allow you
13. rmation about all the objects in a facility Operators can monitor the current value and status of objects and display point history trend and totalization data Operators can also command an object from any window displaying the object and schedule commands to take place at specific times Each object has a number of attributes that characterize it For example an object s name current value and high alarm limits are all attributes Some attributes are assigned values when the object is originally defined For example the object name is assigned in the object s Definition window Other attributes reflect the realtime status of the object For example the current value of the object is dynamic data and changes according to field conditions and control processes View and modify attributes in Object Focus windows Objects are grouped together in systems For example all the hardware and software objects related to the operation of one air handling unit might comprise system AHU1 To uniquely identify an object the OWS uses both its system name and object name For example AHUI RET FAN is the system object name of an object corresponding to a particular return air fan in the AHUI system The entire Metasys system knows whether this fan is On or Off because the continuously updating databases contain records of current values and states for all objects These records are kept according to the object s system object name 1 4 Operat
