Choose Metasys 14.0 for features like these
Flattened architecture
Metasys can now integrate up to 800 IP devices directly into a Metasys server
without the need for additional hardware, providing the flexibility to meet
the needs of both new construction and retrofit installations.
ASHRAE G36 waterside applications
Proven, repeatable, factory-tested ASHRAE G36 airside and waterside HVAC
applications drive standardization and save system commissioning time.
Implement across an owner’s building portfolio to optimize building energy use
along with comfort.
Connected Workflow lifecycle tools
Streamline commissioning and project management with our Connected Workflow
Application (CWa), providing industry-standard, persona-based workflows
through the convenience of a mobile application tailored for the task at hand
(e.g., airflow balancing).
IPv6 & IEEE 802.1x compliance
IT managers will welcome the flexibility of the IPv6/IPv4 dual mode operation,
which enables Metasys SNx engines and servers to use expanded IP address
space, auto-configuration, added network security, and more efficient routing,
accommodating the ever-changing needs of smart buildings – both on-premise and
in conjunction with cloud-based analytics such as OpenBlue. IEEE
802.1x compatibility lets IT managers explicitly control device access and communications within a building’s IT network to provide safe, secure connectivity.
Device health indicator
Improve Metasys SNx engine troubleshooting and reduce downtime with this
green/yellow/red traffic light indicator. Monitor 28 predefined and up to 15
customer-defined communication and performance attributes to help identify
areas to optimize engine and network performance.
Metasys user interface (MUI) enhancements
The world-class MUI continues to evolve, offering intuitive navigation and
delivering key information in fewer clicks with features like these:
- Current alarm status is now displayed in System Activity, helping users quickly identify and act upon critical alarms with fewer clicks to streamline interactions.
- Graphics Manager user permissions allow non-admin users to view, add or edit graphics, increasing efficiency while protecting the full database.
Single sign-on enhancements
IT managers can now simplify user management and permissions through
integration with IT enterprise software to ensure only users with appropriate
enterprise credentials have access to the Metasys system.
Energy dashboards (preview)
New preconfigured energy dashboards, available with a trial license, help
visualize and report energy usage and consumption. Operators can quickly
access and understand energy use by type and space to make better decisions to
drive toward energy and sustainability goals.
