Product Information
Supervisor with 1 Niagara network connection.
The Niagara 4 Supervisor is an IoT (Internet of Things) software platform used in server-class applications. It makes managing all buildings at an enterprise level possible, giving facilities managers the ability to quickly respond to problems and insights to optimize their system.
The Niagara 4 Supervisor allows multiple Niagara-based JACE® controllers, along with other IP-based controllers and field devices, to be networked together. It serves real-time graphical information to standard Web-browser clients and provides server-level functions. These functions include centralized data logging/trending, archiving to external databases, alarming, dashboarding, system navigation, master scheduling, database management, and integration with other enterprise software applications through an XML interface (oBIX standard). Also, it provides a comprehensive graphical engineering toolset for application development.
Features and Benefits
• Centralized system management
• Quickly navigate to individual buildings using tags to diagnose problems
• Compare data between buildings
• Export system data to external databases
• Integrate BAS to other enterprise applications
• Integrate to other applications, such as work order management, analytics, etc.
• Single tool used to program JACE controllers and Supervisor
• Remotely back up JACE applications to Supervisor
• Batch provisioning of JACE firmware upgrades from Supervisor
• Robust built-in analytic capabilities supported by standard Niagara components and visualizations
• Compatibility with VYKON Integrated Analytics 2.0, adding data source, functional and mathematical programming blocks to enable sophisticated analytic algorithms
Specifications
• HTML5 and Java-enabled user interface (UI); JavaScript data interface library included (BajaScript)
• Supports an unlimited number of users over the Internet / intranet with a standard Web browser (depending on the host PC resources)
• Optional enterprise-level data archival using SQL, MySQL or Oracle databases and HTTP/HTML/XML, CSV or text formats
• “Audit Trail” of database changes, database storage and backup, global time functions, calendar, central scheduling, control and energy management routines
• Sophisticated alarm processing and routing, including email alarm acknowledging
• Access to alarms, logs, graphics, schedules and configuration data with a standard Web browser
• HTML-based help system that includes comprehensive online system documentation
• Supports multiple Niagara-based stations connected to a local Ethernet network, or the Internet
• Provides online/offline use of the Niagara Framework® Workbench AX graphical configuration tool and a comprehensive Java Object Library
• Optional direct Ethernet-based driver support for most Open IP field bus protocols (see supported drivers document)
• Niagara follows industry best practices for cyber security, with support for features such as strong hashed passwords, TLSv1 for secure communications and certificate management tools for authentication
Compatibility
| Niagra AX: | Niagara 4 Supervisors can connect to JACEs running Niagara AX versions 3.6u4, 3.7u1, 3.8R and higher |
|---|---|
| R2: | Niagara AX and Niagara 4 Supervisors can connect to JACEs running R2 through the oBIX XML interface only. oBIX is included in all Niagara AX and Niagara 4 Supervisors as a means of integrating Niagara-based Release 2 (R2) JACEs. With Niagara Release 2.3.522 or higher, the oBIX driver can be added to expose all data points, schedules, trends and alarms to a Niagara AX or Niagara 4 system. This oBIX driver is both a client and a server. |
Platform Requirements
Niagara 4 Supervisors may run acceptably on lower-rated platforms, or may even require more powerful platforms, depending on the application, number of data points integrated, data poll rate, number of concurrent users, performance expectations, etc.
