Introduction to software tools Lonix Project Creation Tool (PCT) COBA Editor COBA Client
COBA Client Lonix LXP-file (configurations) Lonix LXP-file (configurations) CSV-file (bindings) Implementation process • Lonix PCT • Parameterization of configuration parameters • Binding of LON network variables • Project documentation in electrical format (e.g. PDF) • COBA Editor • Modeling of the system • Graphical editing of UI • Graphical object library of control groups • Importing floor plans etc as images • COBA Server • Configuration of services • Adding users & roles Lonix PCT COBA Editor controls.xml estate.xml UI.res (ui.xml + images) COBA Server
PCT - features • PCT is designed for easy management of a large number of I/O points • Modules and I/O points are categorized into logical entities • Based on location • Based on system • Online- and Offline-configurations and bindings • Modules are configured for the project using Offline-mode before going to the site • Online-configuration when connected to LON-network • PCT produces project documentation in PDF format • List of I/O points • Configuration data • Cable list • Testing table • Building Modeller
COBA Editor- features • Software for creating Graphical User Interfaces • Drag & drop templates for commonly used devices • Creation of system pictures with static images and dynamic values • Importing floor plans from image files • User defined areas in pictures as links
COBA Client Software - features • Local and remote usage of several sites with one client software • Views: System view, Floor plan view, Trends, Reports, Alarms and logs • Dynamic resource download from server after login • Configurable layout
