The Launch Pad is an Adobe AIR-based application
that allows you to do the following:
● Launch Adobe AIR-based UI that allows you to
interact with Siemens Ethernet BACnet Field
Panels and provides a more intuitive user
interface for database interaction in comparison
to line-by-line command prompts.
● Deploy browser-based Application MC to field
panels.
● Deploy licenses to field panels.
● Add shortcut buttons so that other commonly-
used Building Automation System applications
are easily accessible and can be launched from
Launch Pad.
● A shortcut button is automatically added, if WCIS
has been installed along with Launch Pad.
Routed FLNs
A Routed FLN is a software configured network that
allows you to group BACnet IP or MS/TP devices by
network number. A network that resides in a field
panel but does not have a physical connection to a
piece of equipment.
Global Information Access
The HMI port supports operator devices, such as a
local user interface or simple CRT terminal, and a
phone modem for dial-in service capability. Devices
connected to the operator terminal port gain global
information access.
Multiple Operator Access
Multiple operators can access the network
simultaneously. Multiple operator access ensures that
alarms are reported to an alarm printer while an
operator accesses information from a local terminal.
When using the BACnet/IP ALN option, multiple
operators may also access the controller through
concurrent Telnet sessions and/or local operator
terminal ports.
