WebCTRL^® Building Automation System

The WebCTRL System for data center facilities skillfully maximizes uptime while facilitating the delivery of PUE and adherence to strict environmental conditions set forth in a client Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The WebCTRL system is easily deployed on your secure intranet and accessed through any standard browser from a desktop, laptop, web-enabled cell phone or tablet computer, delivering a high degree of precision and perfection in executing our work. From Time-Lapse™ graphics to Fault Detection and Diagnostics, the WebCTRL system for data centers helps to ensure systems are operating at their peak efficiency.

Industry Leading Data Visualization

Turn data into actionable information. From thermographic floor plans to the Energy Index tool to Time-lapse™ Graphics, Automated Logic has been a pioneer in providing visual data to help building owners and managers make smart decisions. And with the WebCTRL system for data centers, we’re taking that leadership even further. The WebCTRL system supports LDAP and hierarchal servers so that you can see and control your entire portfolio of facilities in one system. It’s an intuitive tool that allows you to monitor your building and leverage data to save on operating costs.

System and Location Audit Reporting

The WebCTRL system for data centers tracks and documents all procedural actions. Any attempted change to the environmental control system prompts user verification, including the electronic recording of “reason why”, in a secure audit log. To verify activity, system administrators can easily query the system’s database by operator location.

Advanced Trending and Scatter Plots

Information is power, and Automated Logic gives you both with the delivery of a fully capable trending tool. Trend all of the points in your system and have the full benefit of robust historical information. With the WebCTRL system’s high speed architecture and distributed trending, all physical parameters – temperature, relative humidity, dewpoint, CFM and pressure – can be historically trended and securely stored. In addition, all environmental data, both current and historical, can be shown in tabular format or graphically displayed with a mouse click.

Our scatter plot displays deliver a firsthand diagnostic perspective on your major equipment, allowing you to assess system efficiency versus load to further optimize your operation.

With the ability to simply create graphs from data anywhere in the system, the operator has the immediate ability to effectively analyze, diagnose and troubleshoot any aspect of their facility’s operations in real time. That same capability provides the necessary backup and documentation to demonstrate your operating effectiveness.

The frequency of trend sampling is controlled by the user. Operators can retrieve data by specifying month/day/year, and historical trend data can be exported “on the fly” with a mouse click. For additional data analysis, the WebCTRL system uses web services to interface with your enterprise or analytics software.

Fault Detection & Diagnostics and Advanced Alarming

Measures, anticipates, provides insight, and automatically responds to system conditions that are not necessarily critical, but may be trending that way – all with the goal of improved operational performance.

Accessed through any standard browser, the WebCTRL system’s advanced alarm reporting and archiving tool logs all authorized operators’ responses concerning alarm acknowledgement and follow-up action. Alarms can be routed to local printers, network printers, external databases, email addresses and SNMP traps simultaneously. Reporting data is securely stored on the WebCTRL system server for the time period specified by the system administrator.
