Included Software Tools
Export Utility
The Export Utility extracts historical trend, alarm, and
audit data from the system and presents the data in a
variety of formats. Using these flexible formats, in
programs such as Microsoft Excel and Access, users can
easily sort, compare, and archive data in spreadsheets
and databases. For details, refer to the Metasys Export
Utility Product Bulletin (LIT-1201800).
Metasys Database Manager
The Metasys Database Manager allows you to monitor,
manage, purge, and back up Metasys system historical
databases on an ADS/ADX. For details, refer to the
Metasys Database Manager Help (LIT-12011202).
System Configuration Tool (SCT)
The SCT is included with the ADS/ADX software package
(Figure 17). It allows you the convenience of defining and
modifying Metasys system databases offline, supported
by wizards that guide you through the entire process.
SCT uses the same Metasys user interface used with all
other components of the system (ADS/ADXs and network
engines). You do not have to learn a different mode of
operation when working with SCT.
Figure 17: System Configuration Tool
With SCT, you can perform all configuration features
required to set up an automation system, including:
• defining all ADS/ADXs and network engines
• defining field controllers
• configuring field points and operating parameters
• setting up the navigation tree structure including user
navigation trees
• configuring system features such as user graphics,
programmed logic control sequences, alarms, trends,
and event message destinations
• configuring spaces and equipment for the Metasys UI
• configuring Demand Limit and Load Rolling (DLLR)
to monitor energy meters for electricity, gas, steam,
or water, and automatically shed equipment loads
according to user-defined levels. Demand Limit helps
manage utility demand charges. Load Rolling controls
equipment operating levels to reduce total energy
consumption.
• creating optimal start logic
• simulating control logic
• downloading, uploading, and archiving network engine
configuration databases
Controller Configuration Tool (CCT)
CCT is used to configure, simulate, and commission Field
Equipment Controllers (FECs), Advanced Application
Field Equipment Controllers (FACs), Input/Output
Modules (IOMs), and VAV Modular Assembly (VMA) 16
devices on the MS/TP bus. For details, refer to the
Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147).
