Preface
Preface
What is moduWeb Vision?
moduWeb Vision is a web application that enables you to simply and intuitively monitor and operate your building management system from any PC or touch device in the network using a web browser.
moduWeb Vision uses HTML 5 for this. This makes it possible to operate moduWeb
Vision independently of the platform.
The logical plant structure is displayed in the plant navigation tree. You can use this plant navigation tree to gain quick access to a particular part of the plant. The plant can be operated and represented graphically in the form of dynamic images, or as a list.
moduWeb Vision collects the historical data from the connected devices and displays it in charts and tables.
With moduWeb Vision you can operate the BACnet time programmes of the connected automation stations easily and centrally.
Access to the individual plants and equipment systems can be controlled via the user management.
To communicate with the automation stations, moduWeb Vision uses the standard
BACnet/IP protocol, which means that the automation stations from SAUTER can be assembled in a single system with those of other manufacturers.
moduWeb Vision is a pure software product that is installed and licensed on the moduWeb500 hardware when this is commissioned. moduWeb Vision is usually configured and commissioned by SAUTER or a
SAUTER system partner and then handed over to the client ready to operate.

6. Operation
6.1 Supported browsers
The moduWeb Vision windows are best viewed in the Microsoft Internet Explorer
11 browser. Other browsers such as Firefox, Opera and Chrome can also be used if they support HTML 5, CSS 3 and Java Script.
The illustrations in this manual show the windows of the application as they appear in Internet Explorer 11. These are intended as examples only. The appearance of the windows may differ, depending on the browser you use.
(
The application uses Java Script and Adobe® Flash. Java Script must be enabled in the browser and Adobe® Flash Player Version 11 or higher must be installed as an add-on.
Cookies must be enabled in all browsers for the login and session process.
An overview of the symbols used in moduWeb Vision can be found in the appendix of this manual.
6.2
6.2.1
Starting moduWeb Vision, logging in and out
(
It is assumed that the system is ready for operation, which means the moduWeb500 web server is running and available for connecting to a PC.
Instructions on starting the moduWeb Vision server can be found in section 21.2.1.
Calling up the application
Open a suitable web browser on your PC.
(
In the browser input window, enter the service with which you want to call up moduWeb Vision.
• The configured IP address, e.g. https://192.168.0.10
• A URL address, if moduWeb Vision is registered on the DNS server and has its own domain name, e.g. https://moduWebVision.dyndns.org
In a local network, you usually call up moduWeb Vision using the IP address, because there is not normally a DNS entry assigning the issued IP address to a URL address on a DNS server that can be accessed from the local network.
For security reasons, it is advisable to log in via https rather than http.
moduWeb Vision
6.2.2 Logging in
Once the connection has been made, the login dialogue appears.

The list view shows the grouped BACnet objects (also known as data points) of the selected node. These can be the following BACnet objects:
• Inputs
• Outputs
• Values
• Time programmes
• Control loops
• Heating and cooling optimisation modules
The icons in column 1 indicate the object type.
Examples of object type icons:
• Analogue value input
• Binary input
Click an icon to open the data point details window.
The icon in column 2 “Status” indicates the current object status.
Category
Normal
Normal, not acknowledged
Alarm
Error
Out of operation
Override
Device unavailable
The object is in the normal state, which means a value is within the defined range or the status corresponds to that which is automatically specified.
The object has returned to the normal state and an alarm or error is no longer present. However, the end of the alarm still has to be acknowledged. After it has been acknowledged, the status indicator changes to the “normal” icon.
An alarm is present, for example because a threshold value has been exceeded.
An alarm is no longer present but still has to be acknowledged.
An alarm is present but has been acknowledged.
An error is present when a value can not be reliably displayed, for example due to a sensor interruption or short circuit.
An error is no longer present but has not yet been acknowledged.
An error is present but has been acknowledged.
The object has been put out of operation.
A local operating unit has priority over the object. The displayed value/status is not the same as the actual value/status.
A device is unavailable, for example because it is switched off or not detected in the network.
The same icons are also used in the alarm list; see section 8.1.3.

( moduWeb Vision
Column 3 “Name” contains the name of the object, along with the description, if present.
Click the name to open the data point details window.
Normally, the BACnet object name is a specific abbreviation for the building that is meaningful for the plant planners. The description is more understandable for the normal user.
The icon in column 4 indicates the control priority.
A prioritisation mechanism ensures that there are no conflicts between switchable objects when they receive commands from different sources. For example, a pump may be automatically switched on and off by a time programme and is currently switched off. The user can then attempt to switch the pump on and thus override the automatic control. Conversely, a protection mechanism for the pump may in turn override the manual command from the user.
Column 5 “Present value” shows the current value of the BACnet object in engineering units.
In column 6, the icon indicates whether an object is writeable or switchable. If the data point is not writeable or switchable, the icon is greyed out.
If the data point is writeable, you can click on the icon to open a window where you can change the value, for example a temperature setpoint.
If the data point is switchable, you can click on the icon to open a window where you can carry out the switching operation, for example switching a pump on or off.
If, in addition to the icon in column 7, there is also an icon, this indicates that there is an active manual command or manual entry by the user. Click this icon to return to automatic mode.
In column 8, icons such as or indicate that data logs or time programmes are available for this object. Click one of these symbols to view this information. If you click the icon, you can create a data log for this object.

7.2.1.2 Button group component
The component allows you to control writeable binary or multi-state data points with buttons. In this way, the component generates as many buttons as the data point supports. Each button can be configured with text and/or images.
For multi-state data points, there is an option to remove individual statuses. This makes it possible to display only status 1-2-4 instead of 1-2-3-4.

Alarms
Alarms
This section describes the “Alarms” area in the main “Info” menu.
Click “Alarms” in the menu tree in the main “Info” menu.
moduWeb Vision has two separate lists:
• Current alarms All active alarms and errors in the system or inactive alarms and errors that still have to be acknowledged.
• Alarm history: Alarms and errors that are not active and do not have to be acknowledged.
(
Both lists can be displayed in a “flat” view or a “grouped” view.
Both alarm and error messages are listed. The term “alarm” is used for both in the following section.
The displayed messages not only include messages from BACnet (for example errors such as sensor interruptions, values outside the permissible range or failure to contact configured devices), but also internal system messages from moduWeb
Vision (such as memory running out on the SD card, faulty configuration files and incorrectly configured server settings).
Definition of terms
The following section defines some important terms connected to alarm messages.
Alarm/error messages
A distinction is made between alarm messages and error messages.
• An alarm message is triggered, for example, when a value is outside the set maximum or minimum limit. This is a defined state and it can be assumed that the displayed valued are correct.
• An error message is triggered when the system enters an unexpected state, for example when there is a sensor interruption, a short circuit or a faulty configuration file. In this case, the displayed values for data points may be wrong.
Alarm and event priority
The priority (importance) of alarms is indicated by the following icons:
Risk of serious or fatal injury (priority 0-31)
Damage to property (priority 32-63)
Monitoring (priority 64-95)
Problematic (priority 96-127)
Various, higher priority (priority 128-191)
Various, low priority (priority 192-255)
moduWeb Vision
Alarms
8.1.3
(
The events are displayed based on the same principle as the alarms (in yellow) .
These priorities are based on the defined message priority classification suggested in the BACnet standard.
Alarm status
The current status of alarms is indicated by the following icons:
Category Status
Active Inactive, unacknowledged
Alarm
Active, acknowledged
Error
8.1.4
8.1.5
8.1.6
Changes of status
Changes of status are indicated by the following icons:
Category Change of status
From normal to abnormal, alarm or error active
From abnormal to normal, alarm or error inactive
Acknowledgement required
Acknowledged Acknowledgement required
Alarm
Error
The and icons only appear with alarms that require acknowledgement.
Acknowledgement The most recent change of status must be acknowledged if the settings for that alarm require it. The reason for this is to make sure that a suitably authorised person notices the alarm and marks it as “seen” by clicking the icon.
This procedure ensures that alarm handling is reliable and traceable, and is also logged in the audit trail.
Notification
Optionally, selected user groups can be notified of alarms by e-mail and SMS. The alarm priorities are assigned to the various user profiles under “Notification
settings” in the main “Settings” menu; see section 19.1.
Time stamp
Each alarm is given a timestamp. If the alarm is from the current day, the time of the alarm is displayed. If it is from another day, only the date is displayed.
You can move your mouse over the timestamp to see a box with the date and time.
(
The timestamp is generated by the automation station when the event occurs.

8.1.7
Alarms
Alarm history
Alarms and events that are no longer active are saved in the alarm history or moved there manually.
A maximum of 500 alarms can be stored, after which the oldest entries are overwritten with the new ones.
The historical alarm list contains BACnet events of the “alarm” type and events of the “event” type.
The different types can be filtered using the following buttons.
8.1.8
• Red for “alarm”
• Yellow for “event”
• Red/yellow for both
Grouped view
In the grouped view, all changes of status of a BACnet object for an alarm group are shown together. This means the current status of an alarm can be seen in one row.

• The “Special-day programme” section in the top right is for defining switching points for exception periods.
• The “Special-day programme entries” section at the bottom is for creating exception periods.
Switching points already defined in the weekly and special-day programmes are displayed.
A default value specified in the BACnet device object is sent every day at midnight
(00:00 hours). This switching point cannot be deleted.
Switching points are not automatically copied from one day of the week to the other in a time programme. If a day of the week ends with a set value (i.e. not the default), it must be set again at the start of the next day (time 00h00m00s).

12.1.1.1 Editing a switching programme
Creating a new switching point
Click the appropriate position in the weekly time programme to create a new switching point. A pop-up window appears at the cursor position. The switching point is predefined under “Time” according to the cursor position with the day of the week and the time of day.
Regardless of this, you can select any day of the week from a list, and then the hours, minutes and seconds from each list.
(
The first element in each selection list is an asterisk “*” (wild card) for periodic switching times. A switching point which has an arrow by the day of the week, for example, is added on every day of the week.
(
Then set the value or switching status in the input field or selection list to define the time programme at the specified switching time. The options for “Value” depend on the type of data point and are the same for all objects in a time programme.
If multiple data points are controlled by a schedule, the names of the switch positions for the first data point are used for binary or multi-state data points.
If you activate the “Delete previous command (ZERO)” checkbox, the command is deleted, but the time entry remains.
Finally, click “Add” to create the new switching point.
(
If you want to create a switching point for all working days, you can first apply it to all days of the week using the asterisk function and then manually delete the switching points at the weekend that you do not need.
Editing a switching point
To edit a switching point, click it and change the entries in the pop-up window. To finish, click “Save” to apply the changes.
Duplicating a switching point
You can duplicate a switching point by clicking on it and changing the entries in the pop-up window. Finally, click “New” to create the duplicate switching point.
Deleting a switching point
To delete an existing switching point, click it and then click “Delete” in the pop-up window.
12.1.1.2 Editing a special-day programme
You can use a special-day programme for exception periods such as public holidays, company holidays or extended opening hours.

(
Only the individual exception periods, rather than switching times and values, are defined here. This is done afterwards on the right side of the window in the same way as for the weekly time programme.
To create a new exception period, go to “Special-day programme entries” and click
“New”.
A pop-up window appears in which you first have to select the priority.
The priority is based on the priority property of the schedule object in BACnet. This property is defined and described in the BACnet standard. There are 16 priority levels, of which 1 is the highest. Some priority levels are reserved for certain functionalities in the BACnet standard and may not be used. The automation station is regulated with priority 16. Priority 8 is intended for manual operation (modu840, for example). A schedule can be set to the same priority level or a lower one (write priority 9, for example).
Next, select the type of the exception period from the list. The following are available:
• Calendar reference (exception based on a special calendar, see section 12.2)
• Date (exception period for one particular day)
• Period (exception for a period of time)
• Day of the week (exceptions that recur from time to time)
Depending on the selected type, you must now set the repetition cycle, the time definition and the period of validity.
To finish, click “Save”.
You can then define the switching times and values in the right part of the
“Special-day programme” window.
Configuring switching programmes
Switching programmes are usually created and configured by the SAUTER project technician in the context of engineering.
In the operating phase, moduWeb Vision also offers the user the opportunity to create additional time programmes in the automation station or to change the configuration of the time programmes.

Fig. 72 Combined charts, colour selection
Depending on the type of chart, different settings are possible:
• You can change the pre-set colour by clicking on the colour of the data point. (All data points)
• The assignment to the left or right Y-axis is only possible in the standard chart.
The value range of the Y-axis is automatically determined according to the currently visible area. You can use “left” and “right” to define where the Y-axis is to appear in the chart.
• A display in the form of lines or steps is only possible in the standard chart.
• Clicking on the symbol enables you to adjust the Y-axis range manually and add lines with a constant value. This is only possible with standard and meter chart types.
If the value range is set too high, the recording will only appear as a straight line.
For example, if the value of “Y-Max” is less than the smallest value, the recording cannot be seen at all.
All the data points are displayed as “steps” as standard.
You can click on “Preview” to see the combined chart that results from this configuration.

Roles (user groups)
moduWeb Vision distinguished the four following preconfigured roles (user groups):
• Administrator
• Specialist
• User
• Guest
The roles are assigned different rights to access the functions and information in moduWeb Vision. The availability of menus and the ability to edit parameters and values differ according to the role. The role is assigned by the administrator when the user is created.
The users themselves cannot change their roles or authorisations.
Users who are registered as administrators still have the option of individually allowing or prohibiting access to individual equipment systems and nodes when creating and editing users. Prohibited equipment systems and nodes are not visible to the user.
At least one user must be created as an administrator. If only one administrator has been created, it cannot be deleted.
The following table shows an example of how individual authorisations can be assigned to roles:

Configuration and start-up
21. Configuration and start-up
21.1 Connection
In accordance with the product data sheet “moduWeb500: web server for BACnet network moduWeb Vision” PDS 96.005 and fitting instructions “EY-WS500”
P10006978 A.
21.2 Programming and parameterisation
moduWeb Vision is usually parameterised and configured by SAUTER or an authorised system partner using CASE Suite.
moduWeb500 is supplied without software. The device will not work until the moduWeb Vision software (EY-WS505F010 or EYWS505F020) is installed. The software is installed during initial installation with CASE Sun.
During the engineering phase, the plant structure, the navigation, the dynamic images and the charts are created.
21.2.1 Starting the moduWeb500 web server
After a restart, moduWeb Vision is initialised. moduWeb Vision reports all the data points alarms and notifications for the BACnet devices. This process can take several minutes. moduWeb Vision can only operate correctly once the initialisation has been completed.
1. Turn the switch on the moduWeb500 to ON.
The “STATUS” LED lights up orange.
2. Wait 2 minutes until the system loads and the “STATUS” LED lights up green.
21.2.2
The system is ready.
Loading may take longer, depending on the capacity of the SD card.
If someone logs into moduWeb Vision from a PC before loading is completed, the browser displays a waiting screen.
(
Users who are logged in as administrators can also use the restart function in
moduWeb Vision (see section 20.3).

FAQ
Engineering and commissioning
• May I use the power supply connector for a redundant power source?
No.
Using both power inlets at the same time will damage the EY-WS500F005.
• My USB disk is not detected.
Cause:
The USB port of moduWeb Vision supplies only 250 mA. Most USB hard drives without an external power supply require more power.
Solution:
• Use a USB stick as the storage medium (recommended) or
• Connect the USB disk to an external power supply unit or
• Provide the USB disk with an additional power supply via USB hub (powered
USB hub)
• I cannot send e-mails with product-smtp.
The checkbox “SSL active” in the mail server settings must be unchecked.
• After a CASE download no changes take effect.
Cause:
The download failed due to several causes:
For big configuration downloads you need to adapt the Backup Failure Timeout
Setting in Case Engine. Here you have two options:
- adapt the property in the devices' properties by using the BACnetbrowser
Solution:
- Download only the BACnet Config by checking during the download only this field. After that you can perform a download with both options activated.
• CASE Engine download fails.
Cause:
The download time varies with the size of your project. On big projects this may cause a timeout error.
moduWeb Vision
Appendix
23.1.2
Solution:
If necessary, you can increase the value of the property “Backup Failure Timeout” in the device object of moduWeb Vision.
Three steps are necessary:
1. Please Check first if Daylight saving time is activated in the Case Engine project. Otherwise the Config file will not be read.
2. In CASE Engine, you change this setting in the device properties of modu-
Web Vision. Then download only the BACnet properties.
3. Make a complete download with CASE engine To save time, instead of performing the first download, you may change the property directly with a
BACnet browser
Historical data and charts
• moduWeb Vision: In the combined charts there are missing values
Cause:
A chart combination of data points with a large data volume and a small data volume in one combined chart may lead to different presentation of the chart each time the interval is loaded again, due to optimization algorithm.
Solution:
This behaviour has been fixed with Version 1.1.2 A good value for big configurations here is 900 (value is coded in seconds).
• Can I read out the SD card with a PC?
No.
The SD card is an internal component of moduWeb Vision and should not be removed. Removing the SD card during operation may cause data loss.
Also note that:
In order to preserve the SD card from premature wear, moduWeb Vision uses a file system specifically designed for continuously writing to flash memory. This file system cannot be read with a PC.
• In the Log Settings list there are corrupt entries.
Cause:
If you have corrupt entries in the Log Settings list, then there is a problem in the
CASE Vision configuration. In Case Vision there is currently no check whether the data points defined as logs are also in the SVO. This is required in modu-
Web Vision, however.
Solution:
Go back to your CASE Vision project and check if the log data points are also included in the SVO (Navigations).
• White content after selection of Charts/Logs view
Cause:
The problem may be caused by caching behaviour of the browser.
Solution:
moduWeb Vision
23.1.3
Appendix
1. Empty the cache in the settings window of your browser
2. It is also important to delete the plug-in data.

Website Data and Settings
Web interface, page structure
• What works and what doesn't without a Flash Player?
Everything works except:
• The charts
• The SVO configurator (needed only for engineering)
It is therefore possible to navigate through the SVO tree, operate in the list view, view and acknowledge alarms, and edit schedules and calendars.
• Schedule data is not up to date.
Situation:
Assume a network with at least one moduWeb and a moduWeb Vision. While working with moduWeb Vision, a change is made in the time programme through a direct login into a moduWeb Station. The change is not displayed in the moduWeb Vision station.
Workaround:
There is no synchronisation mechanism foreseen for this situation. Therefore, it's necessary to manually refresh the page in the browser.
In the case of IE9, press F5 to refresh, or even CTRL+F5 to erase the cache and refresh the page.
• Loading a list view takes a long time and causes a script warning
Cause:
In Internet Explorer, the execution of scripts is slower than on most other browsers.
On long lists this may cause loading times of more than one minute, making the
IE warn about the long execution time.
moduWeb Vision
Appendix
23.1.4
Parameter
username password pid oid did from
Solution:
• You can accept the warning and wait until the page is loaded (click “Continue”).
• You may consider using a faster web browser like Chrome or Firefox.
• You may consider restructuring your project in order to avoid long lists.
• Acknowledging alarms takes a long time and runs into a script error
Cause:
In Internet Explorer, the execution of scripts is slower than on most other browsers.
When acknowledging more than 100 alarms at the same time, the execution may take more than one minute, making Internet Explorer warn about the long execution time.
Solution:
• You can accept the warning and wait until all alarms are acknowledged.
• Acknowledge fewer alarms by selecting, for example, “all on page”.
• You may consider using a faster web browser like Chrome or Firefox.
Data acquisition (getCSV)
How can the data be saved in a CSV file using one command (URL in browser)?
Cause:
You would like to save the data quickly and easily in a CSV format using just one command.

IT security recommendations
The following is a list of recommendations that provides minimum IT security.
Due to the rapid changes in the IT sector, only instructions for minimum IT security are provided.
SAUTER cannot guarantee 100% protection.
Appendix moduWeb Vision
SAUTER basically recommends getting a professional to set up the IT infrastructure and implementing the latest security measures (where compatible).
• Changing the password: On delivery, mWV is supplied only with an admin user account and the related password. When you log in for the first time you will be requested to change the standard password. During an upgrade of mWV, the strength of the existing passwords is checked. If they are not strong enough, the individual users are requested to change their passwords. Delete any user accounts that are not required.
• Password strength: Keep the passwords secret. A minimum length of 12 characters is recommended.
• Encryption: Use encrypted navigation if possible (https). An advanced configuration of the IT infrastructure can force this (e.g. reverse proxy).
• Internet access must be in line with the latest technology. Make sure that only authorised persons and applications have access to your infrastructure.
• Avoid open access to the computers that have been configured for operation.
Do not use “Keep me logged in” on computers that are openly accessible. Use the time-controlled logout.
• Data backups should only be carried out by authorised personnel and should be stored in a safe place.
You will also find basic principles of IT security on the SAUTER extranet under
