Product overview

At Johnson Controls, the evolution of Metasys® continues to spur the evolution of our graphics. We currently offer graphics in three formats: standard graphics, advanced graphics, and Graphics+. Standard Graphics is the default package used to design graphics in a scalable, vector-based format. Our Advanced Graphics Application is for more advanced graphics, like those with animation and changing colors. Graphics+ graphics are designed with the Graphic Generation Tool (GGT) – a powerful diagraming tool that helps designers create compelling representations and bind them to data objects.

Features

Thermographic display of temperature conditions of a floor – Summarizes in a glance the status of the monitored space. Specific colors, customizable by the user, convey each status.	Easy and consistent access to room information – Provides information critical to controlling a space in a single graphical window. View information without ever leaving the floor plan graphic.
Summary data of multiple buildings in a single graphical view with navigational aids – Lets you easily assess the status of the entire complex, with the ability to investigate specific buildings or floors in need of attention.	Ability to quickly and easily switch from tabular to graphical views – Satisfies the viewing preferences of any user. The graphic view lets you send commands to a specific zone or room, while the tabular view lets you send global commands to an entire floor.
Stand-Alone graphic generation tool – Lets users create graphics offline using an archive database, or online when connected to the Metasys® Site Director. Saving and opening a graphic is a seamless process. Graphic elements are bound directly to Metasys items.	Extensive library of prebuilt dynamic symbols and templates – Enables fast and cost-effective graphic development and implementation using a set of dynamic elements and templates in a contemporary, photorealistic design.
Dynamic Symbol Capabilities, including commanding, flashing, changing color, showing and hiding elements, navigation, and context menus, for enhanced user experience – Provide the ability to create dynamic building data representations using a rich set of effects in order to communicate more information in the same amount of space on a graphic.	HVAC library elements pre-populated with aliased binding strings – Improves productivity for creating graphics when standard naming conventions are used. Any Metasys item defined in the database can be bound to a graphic element.
Historical Trend Information available directly within a graphic – Allows a faster and more complete diagnosis of building and system conditions.	Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) file import capability – Provides an automated method of importing and converting industry-standard building elevation and floor plan files for use in graphics.
Right-click functions, Short-cut keys, and user-configurable symbols properties – Reduce the number of mouse clicks required for some of the simple operations in assembling high-quality graphics.	Comprehensive representation of facility support systems – Allows building operators to easily monitor the condition of the facility using a real-world, intuitive interface.
Multiple Language Support – Enables the sale of the product to many different markets throughout the world.	Optimal graphics display performance – Allows users to view data-linked equipment and floor plan graphics within seconds in the Site Management Portal (SMP) and the Ready Access Portal.
