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.

Product Overview

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.
