Vykon HVAC
EN-37: The Mobile user interface Vykon HVAC automatically generates two sets of navigation and graphical views when the HVAC applications are configured. One set of views is designed for use by a browser such as is available on most PC platforms and utilises the NiagaraAX Framework Px media. The other set of views use the alternative Niagara Hx media and is specifically designed as a Mobile user interface for use with mobile browsers such as is available on platforms like the iPod touch. This engineering note describes the use and set up of the Mobile user interface which was introduced at Release 2.2 A mobile user interface device such as an iPod touch may access the Vykon HVAC applications in the JACE controller via a Wireless connection. Such a system is illustrated in Figure 1

Vykon HVAC Web browser technologies and supported platforms The mobile user interface in Vykon HVAC has been designed to support all web browsers that have been built using the WebKit application framework. WebKit was originally created by Apple Inc for use as the engine of their Safari web browser. It has been subsequently developed and is now an open source web browser engine used by others including Nokia, Google, Bitstream and Torch Mobile. The web browser available in the Linux based Android mobile operating system is also based upon WebKit Whilst traditional PC based web browsers such as MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox were not built with WebKit they do nevertheless render the Vykon HVAC mobile user interface successfully because they also support Hx media views The Niagara Hx views of the Vykon HVAC mobile user interface have been based upon the 3.5 inch screen of the late 2009 - iPod touch whose resolution is 320x480 pixels at 163 pixels per inch giving a 3:2 aspect ratio Webkit contains an auto-fit to screen size functionality and therefore it is likely that a WebKit based web browser using a different resolution to that selected will auto-fit the Hx media views When the Vykon HVAC mobile user interface was released the following hardware platforms and browser technologies had been tested or investigated:

Hardware PC iPod touch & iPhone Nokia Various Blackberry Various Operating System Windows XP and higher iPhone OS 2.1 and higher rd Symbian Sgeneration and higher Windows Mobile 5 and higher Unknown Android OS 1 and higher Tested? Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Notes MS IE6 and higher, Mozilla Firefox 2 or later, Google Chrome, Apple Safari Tested on N95 & N97 Iris browser from Torch mobile. (Skyfire is untested but we believe should also work. Opera browser on Blackberry should work Should work on Chrome lite browser
Testing the mobile interface using the PC browser
Simply enter the mobile user into a PC browser to access the mobile views:

Vykon HVAC Navigation When the Vykon HVAC station is started in the PC platform, the navigation trees are automatically synchronised and updated as part of the stations start-up routine. This however, does not occur automatically when the station starts in the JACE controller although the navigation trees can be manually updated at any time from the System admin. menu MiscellaneousUpdate button:
A dedicated navigation file called mobile.nav is created which is and it automatically updated with references to the mobile views of the applications. Note that the mobile view menu screens are created automatically and stored in ^px/mobile.
The management of mobile users in Vykon HVAC is achieved by use of the Multi-Profile feature of the Niagara AX user service. This feature enables other user accounts to be created and maintained which are a type of extension to the original user. It means that properties such as Permissions Expiration and Password are common across the multi-profile users of each user.
In this example the expert user has a multi-profile user called Mobile which is activated by the prefix mobile. This will automatically launch the mobile home view. All other properties are the same which makes it easy to manage the user accounts.
Note: The Admin and Guest users do not have multi-profile users
