Notable Fixes & Enhancements

Building X

This feature introduces new interoperability between FIN and Building X - Cloud-Based Smart Building Connectivity Platform with the addition of new bxCCSync tag for bidirectional synchronization and an enhanced Data Setup process. This update significantly improves how building data is managed and utilized in Energy Manager and Operations Manager.

Key Features:

bxCCSync Tag: The introduction of bxCCSync tag represents the core addition in this release, enabling robust and reliable bidirectional data synchronization between FIN and Building X.

Bidirectional Data Flow: Data can now flow seamlessly in both directions, ensuring that any changes made in Building X are synchronized with FIN and vice versa, providing users with a cohesive and interactive management system.

Enhanced Data Setup: Following the application of bxCCSync tag, the Data Setup feature allows users to activate points and organize the synchronized data, making it fully functional and actionable within the Energy Manager and Operations Manager applications.

Important Steps:

Prerequisite: This feature rollout requires users to have an active SBS subscription and to undergo the necessary onboarding or migration process.

  1. Apply bxCCSync Tag: Apply this tag to the points in an equip to establish the data synchronization link between platforms.

  1. Point Activation: Activate the synchronized points within the Data Setup to ensure the data is accurately represented and usable across Building X applications.

  1. Data Structuring: Utilize the enhanced Data Setup process to structure and harmonize the data, optimizing it for effective use in decision-making and operational management.

Enhanced Connect Agent supports both CFG3.F200 and server-based connections to Building X, with a guided setup process.

Info

NOTICE! Known limitations: the bidirectional synchronization is only applicable to the CFG3.F200 and Windows instances. Linux instances will be compatible at a later stage.
