The visualization of technical functions and operating conditions is a key element in building management systems that simplifies system operations and prevents operator errors. In the visualization of your building systems, you will benefit in particular from the following B-CON functions:

• Quick visualization data points in a tree structure for display and control
• Comprehensive single letter is for visualization of systems like lighting, shading, single-room control, ventilation, heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, burglar alarms, fire alarms, central locking systems, swimming pool technology, video surveillance, and many more.
• Direct visualization of input and output modules in HTML5
• Graphic logic editor for wiring in cabinet logic
• Freely configurable dialog structure without page number limits
• Support of any screen resolution for flexible set-up of touch panels, notebooks, desktops, or mobile applications

We have collected the most important B-CON functions for you in a brochure. You may download it here.

In many building management applications using B-CON, the central management station is not continuously attended by staff. In addition, technicians may require access to your management system while working elsewhere in the building. The B-CON software enables visualization and control of the system on a wide variety of end-user devices, such as the desktop PC at the operator workstation (OWS), a tablet, or a smartphone.

Any B-CON project can be expanded easily to make all relevant functions available on a on a wide variety of mobile end-user devices. Facility technicians receive and process alarms and fault messages while on the go and may modify system parameters on their smartphone, tablet, or notebook.

B-CON gives you access to functions and information no matter where you are. At the desktop PC, on the touch panel for system or room control, or on mobile end devices such as tablets or smartphones: B-CON supports your facility management processes and seamlessly integrates into your IT and process environment.

By default, the B-CON OWS server supports the following operating concepts after installation:

• Operation directly at the server
• Client installation for operator stations
• Operation via web browser (pure HTML5, no plug-in installation required)
• Operation of the room automation via tablet or smartphone
• Operation of the room automation from the desktop PC's Windows taskbar via the tray tool

B-CON also sets the standard in IT security and supports comprehensive requirements for access security and data encryption.

Buildings primarily need to function. This requires maximum transparency with regard to potential malfunctions in the various systems and applications in the building. B-CON provides maximum support for the building management system, e.g. through

• Central administration and processing of operation and fault messages for all applications
• Alarm notification via e-mail, SMS, or pager
• Mobile processing via alarm and event manager
• Storage of instructions for staff
• Direct navigation from the alarm overview to the system screens
• Comprehensive documentation for processing of malfunctions and performing system interventions
• Automated creation of reports and distribution via e-mail
• Operation as a manned or unmanned control station

Powerful timer functions are among the most important management functions for effective building operation, because they ensure that all the functions operate in the right place and at the right time. With B-CON, your facility management benefits from

• Timer programs across applications and systems
• Any number of switching cycles per daily or weekly program
• Calendar function for exception programming (e.g. public holidays or seasonal breaks)
• Intuitive input interfaces, such as the schedule module for easy representation of room and system utilization plans
• Automated synchronization of stored programs on all operator stations.

These are the functions that are particularly beneficial for trend recording, analysis, and reporting using B-CON as your building management system:

• Cyclical, event, or threshold-oriented recording for any number of data loggers in one system
• Internal or external data management for storage and backup of history data
• Evaluation of up to 8 loggers simultaneously for analysis of interdependencies and report creation
• Easy report creation as a graphic or spreadsheet; export as HTML or Excel file
• Automated distribution of reports via e-mail; Aggregation of all applications in one system
• Easy visualization on the intranet/internet

Immediately after connecting B-CON to your building systems, you have comprehensive options for intervention, documentation and data access functions at your disposal via the building management system. You benefit from, for example:

• Aggregation of all applications in one system
• Easy networking of distributed sites
• Centralized fault messages and alarm processing, as well as troubleshooting
• Centralized management of timer functions
• Central visualization and system operation
• Central energy monitoring and cost center allocation
• Central data logging and backups
• Virtually unlimited scalability
• Operation as a manned or unmanned control station
