Tools for every step of the process
Eikon®LogicBuilder
EIKON-LogicBuilder is the most advanced graphical programming tool in the industry. With the click of a button, you can build complex control algorithms, diagnose problems, and run real-time or simulated operational data to evaluate the performance of a control sequence. EIKON-LogicBuilder makes it easy to understand control sequences, as it does not use cryptic "line by line" computer code.
Example: Entire Standard Heat Pump program

Example: Chilled Water Loop program (Flash)
Example: Roof Top Unit (RTU) program (Flash)
Created specifically for building control applications, EIKON-LogicBuilder offers sophisticated programming features to make your building operation simple and energy efficient. Our library of pre-engineered solutions comprises advanced control algorithms and can easily be tailored to your building's mechanical HVAC systems, ensuring precise control and comfort.
Using a browser such as Internet Explorer, with no special programming expertise, you'll be able to evaluate the real-time performance of your building systems, diagnose and quickly resolve problems. EIKON-LogicBuilder offers a unique combination of power and simplicity.
Key Features
• Intuitive graphical programming tool eliminates the need for complex programming or cryptic computer code
• Powerful library of microblocks (control functions) provide the flexibility to develop simple and complex control sequences
• Universally understood graphic symbols make control algorithms easy to understand
• Flexible simulation mode enables you to view the control routines before system installation, which simplifies development and troubleshooting
• Live Graphic Function Blocks (GFBs) are a valuable troubleshooting tool that allow you to view system performance in real-time
• Complete integration with WebCTRL for OEMs workstation software for seamless facility programmingEq
• Self documentation captures development process
• An extensive library of sample GFBs provides pre-engineered solutions to many typical HVACRL control applications. They can be used
as-is, or easily modified in EIKON to meet special requirements

Field Assistant
Field Assistant is a standalone tool you can install on your computer or laptop to access a single controller, several controllers, or a network of controllers and routers. You do not need to be connected to the Internet. You can communicate with the devices using local access or over an IP network.
|
 |
Field Assistant Basics
In Field Assistant, you can use local access to connect to a single controller or multiple controllers. You can also use IP to access an entire network of routers and controllers.
After you have connected to a controller, you can:
• Upload parameters, source files (control programs, drivers, graphics, and BACview files) from the controller to Field Assistant
• Commission and start-up equipment
• Adjust setpoints and other control parameters
• View current trends stored in the controller
• Set and change schedules in the controller
• Run preconfigured reports which display locked values, points list, network I/O, alarm sources, equipment and controller status, and test and balance configuration
• Use EIKON LogicBuilder and ViewBuilder to edit or create new control programs and views
• Download programs, schedules, parameters, and BBMD tables to controllers
• Export updated source files
Prerequisites
• The device must have OEMCtrl 4.x or later drivers.
AppLoader
AppLoader is a simple tool for field downloads.
• Simple and intuitive, no training required
AppLoader 5.1 is the latest revision of the AppLoader application. Version 5.1 supports downloads via the IP port, it allows a user to configure the comm ports on the fly and will |
 |
allow the baud rate to be set to either 38.4 k baud or 115200 k baud. Version 5.1 will also allow error free builds and download when a graphic is attached to an equipment along with all of the existing benefits Apploader is known for.
