EcoStruxure Building Operation
Introduction
EcoStruxure Building Operation WorkStation is a fully
featured environment for operating and administering
all aspects of the software. WorkStation is the window
through which users can monitor their energy usage
and continuously improve their building’s efficiency.
Operator features
WorkStation is the interface where users and engineers
access their EcoStruxure BMS servers. You can view
and manage graphics, alarms, schedules, trend logs,
and reports. Engineers can configure and maintain all
aspects of an EcoStruxure BMS.
Efficient alarm management
Secure user accounts
An EcoStruxure BMS requires each user to have an
account. Access can be through an account
maintained by the EcoStruxure Building Operation
database or through a Windows Active Directory
account. IT policies for password formatting, aging,
and uniqueness are supported and enforced.

Engineering features
Push-button engineering features help a project stay on
time and on budget. The EcoStruxure Building
Operation software not only reduces project
engineering but it also expands the possibilities for
monitoring and control by delivering on-site
customization tools.
Type management
With the type management features in the EcoStruxure
BMS servers and WorkStation, you can quickly and
easily reuse graphics, programs, and MP Series
controller applications. WorkStation allows making

unexpected event, such as an unintended delete or
hardware failure, is vital. The EcoStruxure Building
Operation software has a built in Backup and Restore
functionality that can backup, store, and restore from
multiple copies of an EcoStruxure BMS server’s
database. This functionality resides on an EcoStruxure
BMS server and can be accessed and configured
through WorkStation.

Library management
With Function Block, code can be imported or exported
to an external library, so that no code ever needs to be
written twice. Because Function Block is an evolution of
the TAC Menta programming language used by the
TAC Vista system, libraries of Menta code can be
imported into the Function Block Editor. During the
import process, the Menta code is automatically
