The EC-SUI is an iOS app designed to provide an easy to use, interface for building services engineers and other building occupants. The app works in conjunction with a .jar file installed on any EC-BOS or EC-Net Supervisor. The key benefit, apart from the high quality intuitive multi-touch interface, is the saving in engineering time – setting up the EC-SUI is much simpler than conventional NiagaraAX graphics.
The EC-SUI app works on iPhones and iPads. The iPad version has two modes of operation; Engineering views and User views. At its simplest the iPhone version offers a “zero engineering” solution as the NiagaraAX .jar file auto-discovers all the data points, schedules, histories and alarms within the EC-Net or EC-BOS station and makes them available in the app.
The EC-SUI (Simple User Interface) is ideal for a wide range of user interface applications in buildings, and as an engineering tool for Systems Integrators to improve their productivity. A Pro Tools option includes extra features to aid commissioning, enabling a commissioning engineer to walk around a site exercising plant items to then report them as working or not. The EC-SUI app allows such reports to be emailed directly from the IPad. In multi-site applications (e.g. a retail chain) both the iPad and iPhone versions use the GPS in IOS to re-order the site list according to proximity, so the nearest site displays first in the list. EC-SUI is licensed according to the size of the project using data point “bundles” which include a number of widgets, schedules and other features. The User Views mode is designed for wall-mounting applications in buildings; a range of mounting bezels and frames are available to facilitate this, enabling an iPad to be securely mounted. A library or navigation icons is included, as is a library of “widgets” which represent items being monitored and/or controlled such as luminaires, heating, A/C units, sun blinds etc. There is also a Web widget which enables the display of any URL.
EC-SUI for iPhone and iPad

Engineering Views
Log-in screen – Installing Partner can add their contact details. User access is handled via NiagaraAX user settings. Imported floor plans and other backgrounds can be used with active status items superimposed. All schedules are displayed without any set-up required and are easy to adjust using iOS style “wheels”.
iPad app has menu bar across the top of the screen, and can display any NiagaraAX Hx graphics. Data points are displayed as list without any custom engineering required. All histories are displayed without any set-up required and can be viewed as a graph or list of values.

User Views
EC-SUI has a library of icons for navigation, representing all areas of a commercial building or house. The navigation bar can be scrolled horizontally by swiping. A library of “widgets” is also included which can be associated with each monitored/controlled item such as luminaires, heating zones, etc. Graphs can be displayed in a user friendly way. Web widget enables any URL to be displayed. This can be web content, Hx graphics served by NiagaraAX or an IP camera stream.
Alarms can be viewed for various periods. By touching the top right corner of the web widget it can be zoomed to display full screen. Tapping again returns it to smaller size.

NiagaraAX Workbench set-up
The .jar file loaded into the EC-Net or EC-BOS station includes a service that, once added to the station services folder, enables an easy to use configuration process. Tis includes selecting which icons are to be used for User Views and what labels are to be applied.
User log-ins and access privileges (read/write etc) are set-up in the usual way and Hx Profile must be selected to enable display of any graphics created in Workbench.
A series of video tutorials is available to show all the steps required.
