Section Two - Project Description
2.0 Project Description
The Flexgateway is a device, which collects data from CAM Units over serial port or LAN
interface. The CAM units can be connected directly over serial connection.
The integrated web server provides web pages to visualise the state of the units and to
configure the units. No additional Flexvisor software is needed.
2.1 Flexgateway Connected on Serial Port
Figure 1 – CAM Installation with Flexgateway



The example in Figure 1 shows us an installation with two CAM units.
The Flexgateway is connected to the installation by serial port.
All Flexfaces need to be connected to the Flexgateway which collects data from the
units.

2.2.1 Typical installation with two or more floors
Figure 3 – Typical Installation




Figure 3 shows a typical installation over two floors. On every floor there are up to
twenty four (24) CAM’s possible.
Each CAM can handle up to twenty four (24) Master xTU’s.
One network switch (by others) is necessary per floor, which collects data from the
CAM units.
Additionally there is the possibility to connect a Flexgateway – BMS to pass the CAM
data to a BMS by Bacnet protocol

Section Three - Flexgateway
3.1 Web Interface
This chapter describes the web interface of the Flexgateway. Google Chrome browser is
recommended for the best user experience.
3.2 Password Protected Web Interface
To get access to the web interface it is necessary to insert a correct user name / password
combination. Presently there are two different security levels available.
1. User-Level:
This security level allows the operator to visualize standard values such as “actual zone
temperature”, “actual zone humidity” etc. as well as changing the “zone temperature set
point”.
2. Expert-Level:
In addition to the above points, the operator is also permitted to change configuration
settings of the CAM.
The predefined usernames and passwords are shown in Figure 4.

3.2 Navigation
Figure 6 – Start Page
The Flexgateway web interface is subdivided in two main navigation areas. On the left is
shown a tree structure of your configuration and on the right the actual content with context
dependent tabs.
The tree helps to navigate through all your devices. Every root node represents a floor,
followed by the CAM units and xTU’s. The tree shows limited information on the devices for
easy reference, e.g. current temperature and the unit state. A warning icon appears when an
alarm occurs. Its tooltip provides a quick way to view the alarm descriptions (Figure 7).
Active xTU’s are represented with an animated fan icon.
8|Page
Figure 7 – Alarm Tooltip
3.3 Listview All Units
Figure 8 – Listview All Units
Clicking on the root node opens a list of all active Units in your configuration. This view
allows the user to activate/deactivate all Units with one click or to set the Setpoint for all
Units to the same value. The buttons on the lower left activate or deactivate all Units. A
click on one of the buttons on the lower right opens a form dialog where you can modify the
corresponding Setpoint (similar to Figure 16).
9|Page
This view should not be used to check the single values of the Units as with a high number
of Units the update rate decreases rapidly. This should be done with the Listview grouped
by floors (refer to section 3.4).
3.4 Listview
Figure 9 – Listview
To open a device’s configuration, double click on its tree node, or right click on the same
node to open the context menu with the open option (Figure 10). With a single click on the
small black arrow near each node, the sub tree can be expanded or collapsed.
Figure 9 shows the Listview. The Listview is the default view when a double click is applied
on a floor node. This list shows all connected CAM units on the selected floor and displays
various values. Double clicking on a list entry will open the corresponding unit overview
(described in Section 3.6).
In this view it is possible to activate/deactivate and set the zone and humidity Setpoint for
all units at once. To activate or deactivate all units on this floor, press the Buttons on the
lower left. To set a new value for the Setpoint press the Button on the lower right and a form
dialog appears (Similar to Figure 16).

3.5 Roomview
Figure 11 - Roomview
11 | P a g e
For each floor it is possible to configure a Roomview in the Roomview Designer. This view is
available after uploading a background image and positioning the CAM units and xTU’s.
The devices are represented by rounded rectangles. The colour and icon of the rectangle
indicate a CAM or an xTU. xTU’s are again represented with animated fan icons if they are
active.
Clicking on an element will open the unit overview (described in Section 3.6) or the xTU
overview, (described in Section 3.12).
With the buttons on the top right corner it is possible to zoom in and out. When zooming out
the appearance of the devices will change. The additional information will be hidden and
only the icons will remain, however the information is still available in the tooltips.

3.8 Timer Settings
Figure 17 – Unit Time Settings
The Timer Settings View provides a simple interface to modify daily temperature automation.
The view is divided into three parts:
Day settings: When enabled it is possible to select on which days the timer settings will be
applied. If days are not selected, the unit will remain off (timer off). It is possible to set four
different timers for the selected days. To modify the settings, click on a specific value; this
will open a form dialog (Figure 16 – Change Value Dialog).
Exception days: Exception days will override the day settings, if day settings are enabled.
Unselected days operate either in standard timer mode or in standard mode.
Yearly Exceptions: When enabled it is possible to add up to eight (8) dates where the unit
is off. This setting will override all other timer settings for the specified day.
16 | P a g e
3.9 Unit Events
Figure 18 – Unit Event Log
Each unit has its own event tab where all active alarms and the event log are displayed.
When this tab is opened, all active alarms are listed. With the button in the top right corner it
is possible to switch to the event log and vice versa.
The Event Log shows all past and present events (60 entries / Unit) in chronological order;
including information such as description, timestamp and event type.
17 | P a g e
3.10 Messaging
Figure 19 – Message Recipients
The messaging menu handles all tasks related to the messaging capabilities and SMS
forwarding of Flexvisor.
This is where the configuration of which recipients are to be informed of events occurring in
the selected unit. Alternatively a recipient for all units can be added by checking the option
“Add to all Units”.
There are two messaging formats:
 Email, when the events of configured units must be sent via messaging system.
 SMS, when the events of configured units must be sent to mobile phones.
It is possible to choose between three different notification types - “Events”, “Alive” and
“Events & Alive”. Existing recipients can be selected in the recipient list and tested by
sending a default test message. Removing a recipient will remove it from all registered units.
18 | P a g e
3.11 Unit Charts
Figure 20 – Unit Charts
The chart tab shows different charts on time based data for each CAM unit, for example,
temperature changes over the previous eight days or twenty four hours. The chart data and
time range can be changed with the selection boxes above the chart.
Charts are available for “Zone Temperature”, “Zone Humidity” and “Supply Temperature”,
each from the previous eight days or twenty four hours.

3.14 Customisation
Figure 24 – Customise
The customisation tab allows you to upload a custom start screen. This is done by clicking
on the “Upload Startpage content” button. This will open an upload window similar to that in
Figure 27. It also allows the user to upload a custom logo.
The start page document has to be named “start.html” otherwise it will not be recognised.
The page must start and end with an html div (<div>....</div>) tag. Custom html code can be
inserted between this.
Images can be uploaded from the path “resource/flexvisor/startpage/” or a suitable custom
image. Permissible image extensions are .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif. Figure 25 shows a
sample of the current default start screen code.

3.15 Roomview Designer
Figure 26 - Roomview Editor
With the Roomview Designer it is possible to create or modify the roomview configuration,
which stores information regarding names, IDs (and position for CAM and xTU) of the
Zones, CAMs and xTUs.
Using the main window’s toolbar it is possible to import or export the configuration file.
If it is necessary to cancel all data you have entered, press the button “Empty configuration”
and all existing elements will be deleted, but the configuration file will be only altered when
the data is exported.
Be aware, that when the configuration is cancelled and after that export it, all data in the
configuration file will be deleted!
Refer to Appendix: New Floor Creation Guide for further instructions.
If an existing configuration that contains existing data is loaded, it will be displayed in a
treeview in a hierarchical order. Each zone can contain units, and each unit has twenty four
(24) xTUs.
23 | P a g e
It is also possible to create new zones by pressing the button “Create a new zone”. This
action will bring up a dialog box, asking for the zone name
Figure 27 – Entering a New Zone’s Name
After a name is entered the Zone Editor window will be opened
Figure 28 – Entering a New Zone’s Name
24 | P a g e
The grey background colour indicates that no background image has been loaded yet. After
the button “Load background image” in the Zone Editor’s toolbar is clicked, a dialog box will
pop up and request that a background image is loaded.
Figure 29 – Loading a Background Image
When the button “Choose a background image” is pressed, a dialog pops up that allows the
choice of the file to be uploaded.
Figure 30 – Choosing a Background Image
After an image file has been uploaded, the image data will be stored in the configuration file,
so even if the image is lost after uploading, it is still available via the configuration file.
25 | P a g e
Background image files can be in .png or .jpg format, and should be of sufficient size, so the
symbols for CAM’s and XTUs can easily be placed on their locations according to the
architectural plan without overlapping or requiring excessive space.
After loading a background image the CAM’s and xTUs can be added to the new zone by
pressing the button “Create a new unit”. This will bring up a dialog asking for a name and ID
for the unit.
Figure 31 – Creating a New Unit
After entering a unit name and ID, new CAM unit and xTU symbols will be created.
26 | P a g e
Figure 32 - The CAM and its 24 xTUs
The CAM and xTU symbols can now be moved around by moving the mouse over the
symbol and pressing and holding the right mouse button. After the mouse button is released
the symbol will stay in its new location, and the configuration data will be updated
accordingly.
A right click on a Unit opens a context menu with the option “Change xTU count”. If the
button “Cancel” is pressed, all actions in the Zone Editor window will be ignored. By
pressing “close” modifications are saved.
After the altered configuration is exported, it will be saved in the configuration file and will
become active in the roomview; otherwise all modifications will be lost after the roomview
designer is closed.
The Roomview in “Remote Maintenance” will now show the CAM’s and xTUs according to
the altered configuration file.
From the treeview it is possible to edit or delete each zone. This means that when a zone
item in the tree is clicked with the right mouse button, the following context menu opens up.
27 | P a g e
Figure 33 - Context Menu for Zone
“Designer” opens the Zone Editor window. With “Edit” it is possible to change the name of a
Zone and “Delete” deletes the Zone and all its CAM units and xTU’s.
It is also possible to delete single units in the same way, selecting a unit and clicking the
right mouse button in the treeview opens another context menu:
Figure 34 – Context Menu for Unit
With “Delete” it is possible to delete a unit and all its xTU’s. Single xTU’s cannot be created
or deleted.
