1 Preliminary Information
Omni User Instructions

1-1 Overview
This manual is designed to provide the customer with complete and comprehensive documentation
for the Omni Controller. This document contains detailed procedures for HMI (Human Machine
Interface / Front Panel) and on-board web server operation of the BEMS (Building and Energy
Management System) Controller.

1-1.1 About this Document


This manual is intended to provide the user with complete and easy-to-follow instructions for
HMI operation of the Omni BEMS Controller from the front panel and web server. In preparing
these instructions, Innotech assumed that the typical operator is not necessarily familiar with the
operation of computer systems. For this reason, operating instructions and procedures are presented
at a technically basic level and as clearly as possible.

Each Controller is designed to be set-up to its own application requirements and since each
customer’s application is different, no two units have identical step-by-step operating procedures.
However, the Omni BEMS Controller is user-friendly and operation is simple once the necessary
operational information has been explained. The operating procedures in this manual are based on
typical operating scenarios.

References made throughout this manual to "Omni", "Controller" or "BEMS Controller" refer to all models of the
Omni BEMS Controller except where specified.

1-1.2 Scope of this Document


This technical manual has multiple sections:

Table 1-1:  Manual Scope

Chapter Description
Chapter 1 - Preliminary Chapter 1 provides related information of a general nature. This
Information chapter also contains a brief description of the Omni Controllers.
Chapter 2 - Operation Chapter 2 provides information for configuring an Omni Controller.
Chapter 3 - HMI Menus Chapter 3 provides an overview of the various HMI screens.
Chapter 4 - Omni Web Server Chapter 4 provides information about the Omni web server.

The Omni U10 Expansion Device, expands the input and output capabilities of the controller. The U10
expands the amount of programmable points (UI/O) by 10. Multiple U10 Expansion Devices can be
used to expand the available UI/Os. Once configured, no operator action is required for the expansion
device. The table below shows the expansion capabilities of each controller.

Omni User Instructions

1-2.1 What It Does


The Controller is designed mainly for automatic control of large-scale heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems; operator action is mainly limited to monitoring tasks. The Digital
Controller replaces older systems in which multiple analogue controllers were used for control of
large HVAC systems.

The Omni Controller can operate as a standalone device, while more complex installations can use
multiple controllers sharing data between controllers and a computer. Communications among the
Omni BEMS Controllers is a via an Ethernet backbone with the option of RS485 networks for Innotech
backward compatibility and other protocols such as BACnet MS/TP.

Omni controllers and remote expansion modules have fully Programmable Points, which can all be
used as either universal inputs or universal outputs (UI/O).

For the purposes of this manual, the terms "Programmable Points" and "Universal Inputs/Outputs (UI/O)" are
interchangeable and are defined in the same way as "points which can be programmed as Inputs or Outputs".

Omni User Instructions

1-2.2 Focus Configuration Software


Before being placed in service, the BEMS Controller is “tailored” to its intended application by
the Innotech Focus Software. The user can design the Controller's operating program using the
configuration software. The designer uses the software to develop a functional block diagram of the
entire mechanical system interconnected with the Controller and containing all necessary operating
values. When the design is completed, the software user loads the new configuration into the
Controller’s ROM where it stays resident until such time as reprogramming may be necessary.

In addition to establishing the specific operating configuration of the system, the Focus Configuration
Software also sets up specific functions which can be monitored, used and/or changed by the Digital
Controller operator, such as:
• System Operating Schedules, daily, weekly and yearly
• Access Codes defining what functions/data are available to an operator
• Organisation of monitoring data into logical groups (pages) for presentation to an operator
• Organisation of System Pages containing data of interest to supervisory personnel
• Audible or visual alarms of system and processing faults
• Process values (setpoints)

3-2.4 Flash Pages


Omni controllers also contain a specific page known as a Flash page. Watches assigned to this page
are displayed at the bottom of the Home Page at three second intervals. After start-up the first Flash
Watch is displayed for three seconds, followed by the next Flash Watch for three seconds, and so on
until the cycle is repeated. You can also rotate the navigation wheel to move through the watches.

Alarms that have the Display option marked in the block are sent to the display as a flash (if
programmed). Alarm annunciation has priority and overrides the flash page until all alarms are
cleared.

The Flash Watch feature is especially useful for applications containing many watches; it allows you
to easily monitor a range of specified watches without having to access a Watch Page and manually
scroll through it.

BACnet Time Sync


Select a Time Sync Accepted item from the combo and then click the Transmit Time Sync Enabled
button to show further settings. The interval settings specifies the interval at which Time sync
messages are transmitted.

After editing your settings, click Update to update your controller.

Figure 4-67:  Settings - Date and Time BACnet Time Sync Settings

BACnet time sync is used to synchronise the date and time across a BACnet network. When the Transmit Time Sync
is enabled the device is responsible for synchronising the recipient's date and time to match its own. The Recipient
must be configured to accept Time Sync messages. For Omni devices this is done via the Time Sync settings, for
other BACnet devices this would have to be configured as per their own settings.

Once configured the Omni device will transmit Time Sync messages based on the Interval and other settings
selected. Both Local Time sync messages or UTC Time sync messages can be transmitted. Local Time syncs will set
the Recipients date and time to exactly match the Master device. This is useful in situations where BACnet devices
do not support Timezones. UTC Time syncs will cause the Recipients date and time to synchronise to the Masters but
it will apply it's own timezone offset. This is useful in situations where the BACnet device support timezones and the
BACnet network may be connected across multiple zones.

Best practice for Omni devices is to use UTC time syncs and have the Timezone set correctly.

HTTPS Information
Introduction
HTTPS connection is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely
used on the Internet.

HTTPS provides two main benefits to the user.


1. Trust
It provides authentication that the webserver you want to communicate to is actually the one
you think it is. This protects against man-in-the-middle attacks. 
2. Encryption
It provides bi-directional encryption of communications between a client and server,
which protects against eavesdropping and tampering with or forging the contents of the
communication.

From the page (shown on the previous page) you have the ability to specify a secure HTTPS port.
Enabling Redirect to HTTPS will ensure that if the IP is entered in the browser without HTTPS, it will
automatically redirect the browser to the secure page.

On sites that the Omni is port forwarded to an external IP and you want to use https, you will also need to port
forward the HTTPS port as well as the HTTP port.

By default HTTPS is always available it you want to use it. To use HTTPS, simply enter in a browser
https://IPAddress like below.

Certificate Information & Installation


By installing a certificate on your computer or tablet, your Omni connection will become a trusted
connection. Browsers can give you information about the https connection. Normally by the colour
of the https lock will let you know if the connection is secure. For example: in Chrome (computer) you
can get more information by clicking on the https lock and get access to the following information by
clicking on the Details link.

If a certificate is not installed, you may see a screen like below.

Figure 4-74:  Settings - Web Access - Untrusted Connection (Chrome)

This error means that the browser cannot verify the trust component of HTTPS. If the user continues
the connection is still secure, but the Omni certificate is unknown to the browser. The browser
doesn't know if the certificate is really who it says it is and therefore tells the user that there might be
an issue.

You can continue on from this error by clicking advanced and the connection will still be secure,
however it will always have a red line through https whenever you go to this device.

Browsers base trust on if the certificate is chained or derived from a "Trusted Root Certificate
Authority" certificate that is installed into the browser's certificate store by default. There are many
places you can get or purchase certificates from. The free certificates expire after about 60 days, and
the longest one you can purchase works for about 3 years.

As such we are unable to install a trusted certificate into the Omni by default as eventually they will
expire and also you have to purchase them for a particular domain the site will be using.

We have made and Innotech "Trusted Root Certificate Authority" certificate which the user can
import to their computer or device and when they access any Omni controller anywhere, the browser
will trust it and you will not get any warnings or red locks symbols etc.

For a business with a managed IT network, the IT department would be able to include our certificate
to be automatically installed into the machines they manage. However, you can also manually do
it various ways. The certificate must be installed into the "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"
certificate store on your computer.
