WebVision™ is a web-based building manager that allows
contractors and facility managers to view and command
HVAC controllers installed at their sites. It communicates over
the LonWorks
control of various devices and controllers through a web
browser. The WebVision Bundle (WWS-VL1A1000) includes
the WebVision controller pre-installed with a LON
communications card, and power supply.
WebVision is capable of:
• Discovering unitary controllers connected to WebVision
• Configuring controllers using configuration wizards
• Monitoring, raising, and e-mailing alarms on controller
points and system events
• Configuring and collecting trends on points
• Driving scheduled occupancy states
• Managing energy through Demand Limit Control (DLC)
• Providing single point of entry into the system to perform all
the above mentioned tasks.
• Managing access to information through user privileges
• Providing IT-friendly network interface for easy access and
management
WebVision acts as an offline configuration tool that helps the
contractor to configure site project that consists of multiple
unitary controllers. The contractor can commission all the
controllers by connecting through a LAN, WAN, or Dial-up.
WebVision also acts like a network time master to synchronize
time and date in devices connected to it with its own time and
date or with the Internet time servers. Its Device Discovery
feature enables you to discover online devices. You can
manage users and control their access to different resources
in the system. The System Administrator can configure
network settings, site information settings, system and control,
network data and time settings, and new module installation.

Users
You can create a maximum of 30 user profiles. You must be
familiar with User ID and Password security standards to
enforce user compliance when creating a user profile. As
WebVision is a secure server, you need to log in with a preassigned user ID and password. The user ID and password
combination determine your access level, which in turn
determine the kind of operator and configuration functions
performed.
The Network Administrator must be familiar with user ID and
password security standards and enforce user compliance.
The WebVision System Administrator can be accessed using
these initial default user ID and password: User ID SysAdmin and Password - !Sys!Admin.
It is a good practice to add one or more additional users with
Administrator access level to ensure top level access to
WebVision. Those with higher access levels have the
privileges of all the lower levels in addition to the privileges
unique to that level. These access levels are managed by the
System Administrator. There can be an individual or many
System Administrators who are assigned the task of
managing individuals at different access levels.
NOTE: For security compliance, it is mandatory to change
Use the Users tab to add users, assign devices to them and
define their privileges based on their roles. There are four
types of user roles (see Table 3):
• Contractor - Contractor is a user with all the privileges
• Facility Manager - This role represents a Building
• Tenant - The user assigned to this role has limited access
• Balancer - Balancer is a user who performs VAV Balancing

Demand Limit Control (DLC)
Demand Limit Control (DLC) continuously monitors the
building's rate of energy consumption. It automatically sheds
or restores loads to prevent the demand (load) from
exceeding the maximum allowable level or configured
setpoint. It is based on the building's power requirements and
operating characteristics. For DLC to have control over
energy savings, the configured setpoint must be less than the
actual demand allocated by the power generating plant. DLC
sheds or adjusts the loads during peak usages only. DLC is
driven from the current KW demand, which is an
instantaneous value averaged over a period of time (demand
averaging window period). It is a good practice to adjust the
DLC window close to the utility company's demand window
period. This in turn will help WebVision to follow the same
criteria as that of the utility company when taking KW demand
shed decisions. The energy history log must also match the
peak demand recorded by the utility company.
Load Assignments
Each device is considered to be an external object when
assigning it to a load. A load consists of a local configuration
that defines the behavior of the load and its association with
an object or a set of objects. These objects are discovered
Excel 10 or Excel 15C devices, which in turn control the
external electrical loads. All the objects associated under one
load assignment are shed at once, restored at once and
overwritten at once depending on the configuration of the load
assignment. Each load assignment is identified by a load
assignment number ranging from 1 to 50.
The following are the two types of loads that DLC sheds to
maintain demand below the peak setpoint:
Off Continuous Loads
Off Continuous loads are the first loads that are shed by DLC.
Once shed, they are not restored immediately. Loads marked
as Off Continuous generally control the loads that are least
important to overall operation of the facility. When KW
demand exceeds the peak setpoint, Off Continuous loads are
shed first starting from the lowest numbered load (1) to the
highest (50). These loads are shed until the demand goes
below the peak setpoint limit. The first load is shed at staging
interval seconds after the KW exceeds the peak setpoint.
Additional loads are shed at staging interval, seconds until the
KW is less than the peak setpoint. Off Continuous loads, once
shed are the last to be restored when demand is less than the
normal level (setpoint minus the dead band). Off continuous
loads are restored in the order reverse to which they were
shed (highest load (50th) is restored first). Any Off Continuous
load that is shed remains inactive for at least the configured
Minimum Shed Time.
Rotating Loads
Rotating loads are shed or adjusted after shedding Off
Continuous loads, as DLC needs to reduce the demand.
Loads marked as Rotating have more important equipment
assigned to them than the loads marked as Off Continuous.
Rotating loads are shed or adjusted only after all the Off
Continuous loads are shed and if the KW demand still
exceeds the peak setpoint. DLC sheds the Rotating loads in
sequence starting with the lowest numbered load first. When
demand is below the normal level (peak setpoint minus the
dead band), the Rotating loads are restored on a priority
basis; highest priority is given to the load that has been shed
for the longest period. If restoration of a Rotating load causes
KW to raise above the peak setpoint, then the next eligible
Rotating load (usually the next higher numbered Rotating
load) is shed.
NOTE: Note: Rotating loads are restored before Off
Continuous loads when KW demand is below the
normal level (less than the peak setpoint minus the
dead band).
Rotating loads are not eligible for shed until their
Minimum On Time has elapsed after restoration.
Once shed, a Rotating load cannot be shed again
until all the other eligible Rotating loads are shed.
Rotating loads are not restored until their Minimum
Shed Time has elapsed.
Rotating loads can't be in Shed time not more than
the Max Shed time.
DLC Load Shedding and Restoring Methods
DLC monitors the current KW levels at every staging interval
and averages it over a period of time.
• If the current KW demand is above the configured peak
setpoint, then DLC sheds loads at defined intervals until
the demand drops below the peak setpoint.
• If the KW demand drops below the normal level (peak
setpoint minus the dead band), then the previously shed
loads are actively restored at every staging interval until
the KW demand rises back above the normal level.
2195-7769—01
WEBVISION™
Load Shedding Method
1. The DLC starts shedding by first searching for all the Off
Continuous loads that are eligible for shedding.
2. Then, it first sheds the lowest numbered Off Continuous
load and waits the staging interval to see if the demand
has reduced.
3. If the demand is still above the peak setpoint, then DLC
sheds another Off Continuous load. This process
continues until the demand is well within the peak
setpoint limits.
4. If the demand has still not reduced, then DLC searches
for all the Rotated loads.
Load Restoring Method
• If the demand drops below the normal level, then the loads
that are currently shed will be actively restored one at a
time, every staging interval, until the demand reaches the
normal level. When restoring loads, DLC, on priority,
searches and restores:
• The Rotating loads where the load that has been shed
for the longest period is restored first.
• Then the Off Continuous loads where the load
restoration goes from highest load number to the
lowest load number.
• Loads are restored every staging interval if the override
condition becomes true or the maximum shed time has
been met. All loads that satisfy these conditions are
restored.
Use one of the following filter options to search for the
required load assignment:
• Load Name Pattern
• Shed Method
• Shed State
NOTE: To quickly search, type the first letter of the required
filter criteria in the Keyword text box and type an
asterisk (*). This lists all the names starting with the
first letter that you have written in the Keyword text

DLC Status
Demand Limit Control is a function that controls the maximum
power demand made on the whole system by shedding some
of the load based on priority where total power usage of
configured loads exceeds the predefined limit. Shedding
requires turning off some digital output, or changing a setpoint
to a more economical level.
You can view the DLC service status that includes all load
assignment details. DLC status is updated at the rate of the

Migration of LCBS Sites in
WebVision
Ensure that the site configuration backup is available in
LonSpec.
You should use either LonSpec or WebVision as the primary
configuration tool. Having more than one tool would require
effort to keep them in sync that is manual and error prone.
At certain sites where XL15B is installed, the most current
LonSpec database is present on the XL15B. Such databases
must be brought into LonSpec and used for migration.
Device Configuration Changes
Device configuration covers seven areas:
1. ”Decommissioning XL15A”
2. “Decommissioning XL15B” on page 30
3. “Decommissioning T7300” on page 30
4. “T7350 Changes” on page 30
5. “XL15C changes” on page 30
6. “LONSpec Changes” on page 32)
7. “WebVision Configuration Steps” on page 32
Decommissioning XL15A
Following are the considerations for de-commissioning XL15A
(W7760A):
1. Alarms – Alarms in XL15A cannot be automatically
transferred to WebVision. Looking at the XL15A
configuration in LonSpec, manually create
corresponding Alarms configuration in WebVision.
Follow the steps given in User Guide or Online help to
understand how to create Alarms in WebVision.
2. Trends – Trends in XL15A cannot be automatically
transferred to WebVision. Looking at the XL15A
configuration in LonSpec, manually create
corresponding Trends configuration in WebVision.
Follow the steps given in User Guide or Online help to
understand how to create Trends in WebVision.
WebVision comes loaded with default trends for each
type of supported device in disabled state. If the trend
that has to be created is already present and meets the
requirement, the user is advised to just enable that
trend instead of creating a new one.
3. Schedules – Looking at the XL15A configuration in
LonSpec, manually create corresponding Schedules
configuration in WebVision. Follow the steps given in
User Guide or Online help to understand how to create
Schedules in WebVision.
4. Loops – WebVision does not support inbuilt loops.
However, if this feature is critical, the user can replace
XL15A with XL15C. Or the user can disconnect XL15A
from the Lon Network. If XL15C is used, the same loops
can be configured in XL15C using LonSpec and recommissioned. If the XL15A is disconnected from
network, the user should be aware that it may be driving
RIOs or may have bindings with other devices to get
some sensor information. The device should be
reconfigured and re-commissioned using LonSpec to
remove such dependencies.
5. Network Time Master – If XL15A is acting as Network
Time Master, when decommissioned, WebVision can be
configured to act as Network Time Master. Refer
WebVision’s User Guide or Online Help for details.
6. DLC – If XL15A is performing Demand Limit Control
(DLC). The same can be done in WebVision. However
the user should note that WebVision supports only one
Setpoint. The configuration has to be done as
appropriate. Refer WebVision’s User Guide or Online
Help for details.
7. Pulse Meter Input – If a Energy Pulse Meter is
connected to XL15A because it is running DLC or
because it is providing that information to a different
XL15A, then if replacing XL15A with XL15C will allow
the user to configure XL15C to connect Pulse Meter and
act as source for KW input for DLC running in
WebVision.
2995-7769—01
WEBVISION™
8. Alarm Dial-Out – This feature is not supported by
WebVision or by any alternate mechanisms. Hence this
has to be dropped as part of migration process.
9. Runtime Logs - This feature is not supported by
WebVision or by any alternate mechanisms. Hence this
has to be dropped as part of migration process.
10. Bindings between XL15A and RIOs – XL15A can be
replaced with XL15C to drive the loops configured. If the
loops are driving RIOs, the same be achieved using
XL15Cs and RIOs. The user should replace XL15A with
XL15C, configure the same loops in XL15C, associate
RIOs to XL15C in LonSpec and re-commission XL15C
and RIOs.
NOTE: The user should remember that replacing a controller
would involve rewiring and testing the physical
installation. The new XL15C that is replacing existing
XL15A has to be purchased separately and will not
be provided along with WebVision.
Decommissioning XL15B
WebVision supports most of the functionality of XL15B.
However XL15B configuration has to be manually created in
WebVision. Configuration of the following functions should be
recreated in WebVision:
1. Alarms
2. Trends
3. Schedules – Unlike in XL15B, WebVision does not
support year round schedules. WebVision supports
weekly schedules that repeat through out the year.
Hence the schedules should be modified accordingly
4. DLC – Note that WebVision supported only one
Setpoint as against three in XL15B. Configuration
should be done accordingly
5. Special Graphics – Special Graphics in XL15B can be
created as Locations and Graphics on Locations in
WebVision
6. Network Time Master functionality
7. Internet Time Synchronization
8. Alarm Emailing
9. User accounts
10. Home Page graphics and Login Page graphics
Decommissioning T7300
Following are the considerations for de-commissioning
T7300:
1. If the devices on the Lon network are following schedule
in T7300, then a similar schedule should be created in
WebVision and assign those devices to follow schedule
created in WebVision. The schedule configuration can
be referred in LonSpec and has to be manually created
in WebVision.
2. If T7300 is acting as Network Time Master, the Network
Time Master Functionality in WebVision has to be
enabled. Once enabled, WebVision will synchronize the
clocks on all supported devices with Real-Time Clocks
that can be updated over the Lon network
T7350 Changes
WebVision supports configuration and management of T7350:
1. If a T7350 exists at the site and is driving scheduled
occupancy state of other devices, the user should
ensure that none of the schedules in WebVision drive
the occupancy state of those controllers that are
following T7350. If WebVision has to drive the
occupancy state of those controllers, user should first
unassign them from T7350 in LonSpec, commission
T7350 and the assigned controllers before configuring
schedules in WebVision
2. If T7350 is acting as Network Time Master, it has to be
disabled from LONSpec and re-commission T7350. The
Network Time Master Functionality in WebVision has to
be enabled. Once enabled, WebVision will synchronize
the clocks on all supported devices with Real-Time
Clocks that can be updated over the Lon network
XL15C changes
XL15C is supported in WebVision. However, there are some
differences that should be noted (below):
1. LonSpec creates bindings between XL15Cs and
assigned RIOs as shown in ‘refer points’ screen. These
bindings are present to read/command all I/Os on RIO
even if they are not used. WebVision does not have
concept of associating RIOs with XL15Cs. Therefore,
following is the behavior during migration:
a. When the XL15C bindings are uploaded in WebVi-
sion, only used/ configured bindings are actually
shown and bindings on un-configured I/Os are
ignored
b. LonSpec allows naming I/Os of RIO (W7761).
These names are stored in associated XL15C’s secondary configuration file. As WebVision does not
support this file, all the RIO point names will appear
with default names in WebVision after migration.
User would manually associate them by creating
appropriate bindings between XL15Cs and RIOs.
2. If an XL15C controller at the site uses a poll point
configured to poll an unsupported LON device, the
Device, NV and Field information will not show up in
WebVision’s XL15C configuration wizard as the device
is not present in WebVision’s database. As part of decommissioning the unsupported device, the user has to
re-commission the XL15C so that information is
removed from the configuration
3. The time taken to upload/download XL15C depends on
the number of loops configured in that XL15C. If more
number of loops is configured, WebVision will take more
time to upload/download. XL15C stores each loop
configuration in separate sections in its memory.
WebVision while uploading reads general device
configuration, reads the number of loops, reads I/Os
configured and then uploads configuration of each loop
and I/O
4. WebVision will upload all the objects that are configured
and used in control logic. If there are any Math
Functions, Setpoints, Logic Loops, Start Stop Loops that
are just given names or engineering units but do not
read any input or drive any output, such objects may be
ignored. The same reason is applicable while
downloading from WebVision. This optimizes the
download/upload process and does not impact the
XL15C configuration.
5. While uploading bindings, WebVision will not upload
bindings in which unconfigured objects like Control
Loops, Start Stop Loops, Logic Loops, Analog Inputs
are acting as source or target of the bindings.
