Components

Core Server and Studio
  • Server: main component - communicates with the devices, stores or processes data point values and provides building management functions
  • Studio: User interface for configuring and managing the data points
Web Manger

The Web Manager is a web-based user interface for managing the building management functions such as alarm management, planning, trend display and visualization. The web-based visualizations are also provided by the web manager.

Visualization

The visualization is an additional Windows-based software. This serves as an editor for creating web-based and PC-based visualizations as well as for executing PC-based visualizations.

Logic Editor

This Windows-based software is used to create logics for the core server with graphical programming.

SQL database

The SQL database is used to store persistent data such as historical data point values and alarm logs. The NETx BMS Platform supports various SQL backends such as MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL, ...
