second to one day• Standard and customized reports • Historical records of all event

information and operator actions• Access to Internet and Intranet

information without leaving the display• Trending capabilities• Ability to retrieve and analyze archived

data

The bottom line: The HoneywellSymmetrE™ system helps you domore with fewer resources. Itprovides a powerful new way tooptimize your operations andreduce your operating costs.

The industry’s most open, flexible architecture

Simple, convenient access and use SymmetrE™ joins its flexible architecturewith features and functionality formaximum data access and ease of use.Just point and click to go directly todetailed buildings information, without theneed for custom buttons or complexnavigation paths.

Operators aren’t the only ones to benefitfrom SymmetrE™’s user-friendly features.The system also provides tenant controloptions via a Web browser or telephone.So you can give occupants theconvenience of making simple changes,such as adjusting the setpoint or turningthe lighting or air conditioning system on,while maintaining the integrity of yourfacility management operation.

The Honeywell SymmetrE™system’s cutting-edge architecturesupports leading open industrystandards, including: • LonMark®, which supports LonWorks®, a

network of interoperable devices frommultiple vendors

• BACnet, the ASHRAE standard for implementing both BACnet client andBACnet server functionality

• Modbus, the defacto standard communications protocol for interfacingto different controller types

• OPC, which supports OLE (Object Linking and Embedding), which bridgesbetween Windows-based applicationsand process control hardware

• AdvanceDDE, the standard for data exchange among a wide range of third-party servers

• ODBC, an industry standard for database access

The solution also supports Honeywell’spopular EXCEL 5000® line of controllers.

SymmetrE™ communicates seamlesslywith third-party controllers, devices andcommunications interfaces without theneed for gateways, giving you maximumflexibility. The system also functions as adata server, using open protocols to makecontroller information available to othermanagement systems.

Configuration options that meetyour needsSymmetrE™ scales easily to provide state-of-the-art control whether you manageseveral facilities or serve multiple tenantsat one site.

Its cost-effective client-server architecturepermits configurations ranging from asingle workstation to an extended systemwith multiple SymmetrE™ workstationsand a server connected across a LAN,WAN, Intranet or the Internet. Usingstandard TCP/IP network protocols,SymmetrE™ also allows communicationsto other Intranet/Internet systems and PCnetworks.

Comprehensive control at your fingertips

Simplified alarm handling The Honeywell SymmetrE™ systemdelivers the industry’s best technology forprompt, effective HVAC alarmmanagement. You can define whatconstitutes an alarm and determine itspriority. The alarm summary page permitssorting and filtering of all alarms bypriority, area or acknowledged status.

When an abnormal building event occurs,operators are notified immediately viaaudible alarms and a dedicated alarm lineon every SymmetrE™ screen. The AlarmPager option allows alarms to be routed topagers and cell phones, providingimmediate notification wherever your staffmight be.

Powerful historian SymmetrE™’s history and trendingcapabilities give you the data totroubleshoot potential problems and analyzeequipment performance. SymmetrE™

collects point data on both a “snapshot” and“average” basis, permitting you to view whatwas happening in your system at a givenpoint or over a defined period.

SymmetrE™ seamlessly integrates your equipments’ myriaddata streams for analysis and reporting.

SymmetrE™ helps save time by allowing an operator tomanage HVAC and lighting systems from a single screen.

Using a Web browser, SymmetrE™’sintegrated maintenance applicationprovides a single, efficient tool toidentify equipment maintenanceneeds, schedule service, track workorders and review repair records.

Additionally, SymmetrE™ is the onlysystem that allows you to simultaneouslycollect data on the entire system, not justa few points at a time. You can use thedata in reports and application programs,or even cut and paste the informationdirectly into Microsoft® Excel.

Convenient global scheduling Equipment scheduling is quick andconvenient with SymmetrE.™ The systempermits the operator to schedule andmanage all HVAC and lighting subsystemsfrom the workstation, using a variety ofschedule options and customized choices.

Automated maintenancemanagement SymmetrE™’s Integrated MaintenanceManagement (IMM) facility helps youproactively address equipment needs,reduce costly downtime and trackmaintenance histories. IMM tracksindividual field device data such as dutycycles, run hours and high limit datavalues, then generates a work order for apiece of equipment when it meets certaindefined conditions. You can createstandard or customized maintenancereports for convenient, centralized tracking.

Information and insights for better decisions

In the past, building management systemshave focused on helping you control andmonitor equipment. The SymmetrE™

system goes beyond, giving you theintelligence to better serve both occupantsand management, identify optimizationopportunities and proactively control andimprove costs.

Broad reporting capabilitiesWith SymmetrE,™ there’s no need foradditional software tools to track and reportyour facilities’ key parameters. Theworkstation’s advanced software providesboth standard and customized reportingcapabilities, making it easy to analyze yourdata in a variety of ways and formats.Among other functions, SymmetrE™

permits you to: • Make trend comparisons using both

current and historical data• Benchmark the performance of

several facilities• Analyze equipment operation across

seasons• Generate energy usage reports• Develop cost-of-operation spreadsheets• Integrate building operations data into

financial plans and management reports

View Web information on thecustom display Honeywell’s SafeBrowse™ technologyallows the operator to access Intranet andInternet pages and systems directly fromthe SymmetrE™ workstation. Whether youneed the current weather forecast, asequence of operating instructions or amanufacturer’s specification sheets,SymmetrE™ brings the power of theInternet directly to the operator.

SymmetrE™ allows operators to access Intranet andInternet information without missing any HVAC activity.
