Introduction to WEBs-N4

2
 Why is it important?
Because it is .
Easier to use with new user interface using HTML 5 technology
Simpler for developers to create custom user interface
Saves time in programming with new features like Tagging &
Templates
Faster because of fewer clicks, optimized workflow, search & find
Better in creating charts and reports on a dashboard
Secure by default with Role based Access Control

3
Why is it important?
New User Interface
HTML5 technology which is widely used in web today.
Unified experience between Desktop, Tablet & Smartphone
Simpler
Developers to use and adopt Open API to create custom User
Interface Spyder/Stryker tools
Easier Integration
Ability to Create and Reuse Templates for Devices.
Better User Experience
Independent of java plug-in applet for client side browsers
4
Why is it important?
Saves time
Templating allows Niagara to apply Tags to devices automatically.
Implemented optimized workflows fewer clicks
Tags allows you to search your data quickly.
Create custom dashboards using Charts and Reports.
Better Visualization of charts makes it easier to compare data
Drag & drop data onto dashboard in real time
Secure
By Default. Strong Credentials & Data Encryption, including Audit Logs.

Security New Features

Module code signing

Verify that the modules are not tampered or altered once released
Role-based Access Control
In the AX world, we create the first operator and make 19 more
copies, but adding a new role would be going to each one and
making the change. With N4, we can do it once for all 20 users

WEB-8000 Controller
Flexible Capacitive licensing allows you to be competitive
Create your part numbers based on Devices & Points (5:50
ratio)
8005 5 devices and 250
8010, 8025, 8100 and 8200
All license and stations are in microSD card
Includes power supply & standard drivers in price
BACnet, ModBus, LON, SNMP and KNX
Includes WiFi connectivity can be used as an Access point.
