- 19. About this guide This guide is intended primarily for engineers and system administrators who are responsible for configuring and supporting EBI Release 410. It describes: • The recommended order for configuring the server • Mandatory and optional configuration procedures • Administration procedures 19
- 20. Before reading this guide Before using this guide to configure EBI, you need to: • Understand basic EBI concepts such as point server, channel, controller, point, access level, card, and Station as explained in the Overview Guide. • Install EBI and third-party software as described in the Installation Guide. As you follow the procedures in this Guide, it is useful to have documented your site or building (for example, in a building layout or site plan) as suggested in the Overview Guide. This will help you to match it to the EBI database that you want to build. Prerequisite skills This guide assumes that you have a basic knowledge of the hardware you are using: that is, the computers, printers, network components, and especially the field devices and controllers, such as access control panels. It also assumes that you have a basic familiarity with the Microsoft Windows operating systems that you are using. ABOUT THIS GUIDE 20 www.honeywell.com
- 21. How to use this guide Depending on the options you use, you need to use this guide in conjunction with the Advanced Configuration Guide to learn how to configure your EBI system. The Tutorial gives you hands-on experience in performing basic server configuration tasks, and is particularly intended for those who are new to EBI. It shows you how to start Quick Builder and introduces its key features. (Quick Builder is used to build Stations, printers, controllers, and standard points.) The configuration overview introduces you to the main configuration tasks and tools, and shows you where they are described. While server configuration is described in this guide, this guide does not provide controller-specific configuration information. When configuring controllers for your system, you also need to see: • The controller-specific online reference information that comes with Quick Builder. • The hardware documentation and third-party software documentation for the devices that you will be using in your system. ABOUT THIS GUIDE 21
- 22. ABOUT THIS GUIDE 22 www.honeywell.com
- 23. Configuration overview This section introduces the configuration tasks and tools for EBI. To configure EBI means to customize the EBI server database for your site. It involves defining communication connections, and the data acquisition and access that you want to implement at your site. Configuration also involves setting up standard displays and reports, and a range of optional features such as redundancy, scheduling, event archiving, and so on. The configuration procedures described in this guide assume that you have already installed EBI software and third-party software as described in the Installation Guide. 23
- 24. Configuration environment and tools A typical EBI environment features the following components: • One or more servers. • One or more Stations and printers connected to the server. • Optionally, one or more point servers connected to the server. • One or more controllers connected to the server, which depending on the interface may connect via a point server. The following tools are used for configuring EBI: • Quick Builder • System displays • HMIWeb Display Builder • EBI Server Utilities Configuration Tools Quick Builder Quick Builder is a graphical tool for building the hardware items (Stations, printers, controllers), standard points, some flexible points, the Facility Model and Alarm Groups in your system. After building items with Quick Builder, you download these items to the server database. The procedures you use to build items with Quick Builder are documented in the Quick Builder Guide. System displays System displays are used to configure items such as reports, group displays, trends, Station settings, and so on. The procedures you use to configure these items are documented in the Configuration and Administration Guide. Display Builder HMIWeb Display Builder allows you to create custom displays using Web-based features and save the displays in HTML format. HMIWeb Display Builder can run on the server or on another computer in your system. CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW 24 www.honeywell.com
- 25. The procedures you use to build custom displays are documented in the HMIWeb Display Building Guide. EBI server utilities Utilities that run on the server are available to assist you in configuration and administration tasks. Utilities that apply to specific controllers, such as communications testing utilities, are described in the controller references. General utilities are described in the 'Command reference' section of the Advanced Configuration Guide, and referred to throughout this guide. CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW 25
- 26. Server scripting You can extend the functionality of EBI by creating server scripts. As you configure your system, you may want to create server scripts for: • Servers • Point servers • Points • Reports The type of script you want to create determines the tool you use. For example, if you want to create a script that runs at specified times, you use Station to create the script. If you want to create a script that performs a task when the status of a point changes, you use Quick Builder to create the script. For more information about server scripting, see the Server Scripting Reference. CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW 26 www.honeywell.com
- 27. Using EBI data in other applications EBI provides the following methods for accessing data: • The EBI ODBC Driver is designed for retrieving EBI data via ODBC-compliant applications such as Microsoft Access, or Microsoft Excel.. See the 'About the EBI ODBC driver' section of the Advanced Configuration Guide. • The EBI OPC options enable EBI to exchange point and alarm/event data with third- party OPC servers and clients. See the 'Configuring OPC' section of the Advanced Configuration Guide. • The EBI Application Programming Interface (API) and Network API enable you to create custom applications that run on the server or on other computers on the network. You can also use these APIs if you want to configure reports that initiate application programs. See the 'Developing custom applications' section of the Advanced Configuration Guide. • The Microsoft Excel Data Exchange option enables you to capture real-time point value and history information from EBI and display the data in an Excel spreadsheet. See the 'Configuring Microsoft Excel Data Exchange' section of the Advanced Configuration Guide . For information about accessing data in the Cardholder database, see the Import and Export Guide.

- 29. Configuration tutorial This tutorial walks you through some basic EBI-related configuration procedures. Its purpose is to familiarize you with the tools and utilities used to configure EBI, so that you can get your system up and running as quickly as possible. It does not provide detailed explanations of the configuration tools and tasks. Tutorial tasks The tutorial provides a short, guided tour of the following typical configuration tasks: • Building a Station that runs on the server. • Building a channel and controller with Quick Builder. • Building points with Quick Builder • Downloading the configuration database from Quick Builder to the server. • Starting Station. Not all point server types are configured using Quick Builder, subsequently configuring point servers is not covered in this tutorial. Use this tutorial to familiarize yourself with Quick Builder, then use the reference specific to your point server to familiarize yourself with the tasks required to configure your point server. The tutorial sets up EBI to match the architecture diagram shown in the following figure, with: • A server (that is also used as a Station) • A LAN-connected Station • Two PCSC controllers 29
