network that acts as Site Director. Users can access Alarm and Event Processing
data from an NAE or ADS server at any point in the
network with a Web browser. When a value exceeds a defined limit or changes to an
off-normal state, the NAE sends alarm or event
messages to online Web browsers, pagers, e-mail
servers, and printers on ADS servers. The message
routing depends on the source, time, and type of the
event. The information is also stored immediately in a
local log file on the NAE, later transmitted to a site log
file on a server, and can be viewed at any time from a
Web browser to trace the history of alarms and events
on the site.
The alarm and event information may include a
predefined message to facilitate a fast response to the
system problem. When the user with the appropriate
password authority acknowledges or clears an alarm,
the site log file is updated.

alarms in the NAE.
Monitoring and Control
The NAE software is specifically designed to meet the
needs of building owners and managers to efficiently
monitor and control all the mechanical and electrical
systems in a typical building such as:
• heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units
• central equipment including chillers and boilers
• lighting and electrical distribution
• power generation and energy monitoring
equipment
• interfaces to security and fire detection systems
The NAE gathers monitored equipment data from the Figure 4: Alarm and Event Screen
field control devices. The NAE coordinates commands
and sends them to the equipment at the required
priority for the safe operation of the building.
