Technical Specification Sheet Document Number 149-803 Rev. 5, June, 2007 Datamate Base 3.2 Description • Remote field panel communication via modem from a desktop or Laptop • Runs on the most common hardware platforms: desktop and laptop computers as well as Pocket PCs • Online User Guide • Terminal Emulation to communicate locally with field panel and FLN devices • Software password protection ® Datamate Base for the APOGEE Automation System is a software package that provides controller database backup and restore capabilities for APOGEE and pre-APOGEE networks. Database transfers and terminal emulation can be accomplished locally or remotely over telephone lines using a modem from a desktop or laptop. The Datamate Base software package allows building operators to communicate with any APOGEE or pre-APOGEE Automation Level Network (ALN) or Floor Level Network (FLN) device using a single easy-to-use software package. A Database backed up with Datamate Base can be stored on any media and kept for permanent storage. Features Backup and Restore Datamate Base allows building operators to perform field panel backup and restore functions with any field panel on the ALN and their connected FLN devices. Users can select one field panel or multiple field panels to transfer databases. • Complete backup and restore support for APOGEE and pre-APOGEE field panels • Support for Firmware 2.8.1, 2.8 and earlier, Power Open Processors and Ethernet field panels • System-wide Compatibility with all APOGEE and pre-APOGEE BLN and FLN devices • Auto-connect without knowing configuration information • System profile view of the ALN, FLN, and system controllers makes communication and database transfer operations easy Terminal Emulation • Automatically builds a system profile of the connected field panel and its associated FLN devices or the entire parent ALN A computing device running Datamate Base in terminal mode can function as an operator terminal. • Wireless Sensor Commissioning Tool (WSCT) built into Datamate Base allows a wireless TEC transceiver to bind and synchronize a wireless Room Temperature Sensor Document No. 149-803P25 System Profile Auto-build System Profile while plugged into a field panel to get a better view of the network. While the tool is plugged into an ALN device, you can auto-detect and build a System Profile that includes FLNs, and FLN devices just for the ALN device or for the entire ALN associated with that device. Page 1 of 2 While in terminal mode and connected to a field panel MMI communication port, an operator can perform the following functions online via the operator interface: • Display point information • Command point values • Edit lines of PPCL code in control programs • Create, modify, and delete system points • Create and modify operational schedules • Display system reports • Create Panel Trend Definitions • Modify BLN User Accounts • View Trend Data Pocket PC Requirements Pocket PCs must meet specific hardware requirements. Ask your local Siemens Building Technologies office for the latest list of compatible platforms. Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Pocket PC 2003 operating systems Serial COM Port to communicate with the device, either natively or via an add-on device such as a Compact Flash (CF) serial IO card Microsoft ActiveSync® version 4.0 or later on the personal computer FLN Devices Optional 4 MB Flash Card In addition to communicating with field panels, Datamate Base allows users to interface locally with Unitary Controllers, TECs, ATECs, Laboratory controllers and Wireless Room Temperature Sensors. This eliminates the need to install separate software programs to communicate with non-field panel devices.
