1–2 Introduction

Thank you for buying the Delta Controls ORCAview® program. ORCAview
operates in a graphical Windows world and has powerful facilities management
tools. We trust that this product will satisfy your building control needs.

We are continuing our efforts to more fully express the vision Integrated Facilities
Management Solutions Simplified in the ORCAview product.

Description
The ORCAview software is a native Windows® application and has been written
to look and operate like most Windows applications.

The operator can view project data graphically or with the interactive Microsoft
Windows Explorer™ style Navigator. Both these interfaces to the DDC system
provide real-time data to the PC, with updates as quick as five second if needed.
Real-time data can be shown in a group of objects, single objects, multiple
objects, on-line graphics, or in any combination.

The user interface has an object-oriented design. This approach allows quick
access to menus by just clicking on an object using the right mouse button.

At the click of a button, the operator can change from viewing a graphic to editing
the graphic using the optional Illustrator tool created by Delta Controls. This
makes it easier to draw and test graphics.

For more detailed information on the drawing program Illustrator, see the
Illustrator Technical Reference Manual which is included on the release CD.

ORCAview currently has four methods to access a DDC system through Windows
networking. The LAN/WAN connections from the PC to the DDC system are:
• BACnet IP (UDP/IP)
• BACnet Ethernet (10 Mbits/s)
• BACnet MS/TP (Up to 76.8K Baud) PC to controller CON-768/ CON-768BT
• BACnet PTP RS-232 (Up to 38.4Kbytes/s) Local and Dial-in/Dial-out

Suite Installer Function

This section lists the scenarios that the V3.40 Suite Installer supports and the ones
it does not. The aim is to provide information that helps to make the behavior of
the installer clearer.

Supported Scenarios
All scenarios will be supported for both default and custom install locations. If
you change only the disk drive letter in a default path, ORCAview still treats the
path as the default directory. For example, you might just change the C: to D: and
leave the rest of the default path unchanged. A custom install is one that has the
names in the default path changed.

Note: All scenarios will be supported for both default and custom install
locations.

 OWS Default Directories 1–7

OWS Default Directories

The Install Path is consistent between Windows XP/Server2003/Vista/7. It
depends on processor bit-width.

If 32-bit, install directory will be:

C:\Program Files\Delta Controls\3.40\

If 64-bit, install directory will be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Delta Controls\3.40\

The users/custom directory is different between Windows XP/Server 2003 and

Windows Vista/7, however, it is consistent between processor bit-width.

If Windows XP/Server 2003, user directory will be:

C:\Documents and Settings\Public\Delta Controls\3.40\

If Windows Vista/7, user directory will be:

C:\Users\Public\Delta Controls\3.40\

C:\Users\Public maps to the environment variable %PUBLIC%.

New Installation
With 3.40, ORCAview has a suite installer which provides a choice of six
applications to install. You may have a CD or downloaded folder with an
executable install file named ORCA Suite Setup.exe.

The Suite Installer handles multiple applications in one installation process.

• ORCAview 3.40 (includes Illustrator but needs to be enabled on a hardware
key)
• Delta Historian
• ORCAweb
• Delta ODBC Driver
• Delta Flash Loader
• Delta System Loader

1–8 Introduction

In the previous figure, the checkbox for Delta ODBC Driver is Red indicating that
the software key does not have this product enabled. You can still select this
product for installation or press the Cancel button to exit. If installation is
completed without the software key fully enabled, the disenabled products will not
run.

Before you begin your installation you will need to do the following:

• Choose a directory – You may let the install program place ORCAview in the
default directory or choose a different destination. See OWS Default
Directories on page 1–71–7
If the directory does not exist, then the install program will create it.
• Determine the name of the site. For example, you could enter International
Airport.
• Determine the name of the workstation on your local network. For example,
you could enter Main ORCAview PC.
• Determine the number of the workstation on the network. See the following
section titled Workstation Number.

Workstation Number
Every device on the same site must have a unique controller number. ORCAview
calls this the workstation number. The PC that will receive the new ORCAview
installation must have a unique workstation number.

Note: Choose the workstation number carefully, as you must re-install the
software to change it. To avoid conflicting workstation numbers, maintain a
list of device numbers for large sites.

Devices requiring unique numbers include the following:

• All connected Controllers or Workstations

ORCAview Version 3.40 Technical Reference Manual

Ed. 1.80 Original Page 1–8 Total Pages in this Section: 46
 New Installation 1–9

The PC where the new ORCAview is being installed must have a unique
workstation number assigned to it. The workstation number must:
• be different than any other workstation number,
• be different than any other controller address,
• not be 0, 254, 65534 or 65535
• not be greater than 4194302 if only V3 hardware
• not be within any Micro Panel range.

Any V3 DCU that is used as an IP router to local V2 devices (DCU's or Turbos,

etc) must be addressed lower than 32767.
If the Version 2 protocol is being installed, the workstation number must:
• not be greater than 32766 (If greater than 32766, then a message on the
dialog warns that this Workstation Address is invalid with Version 2
networks.)
• not include any number from 250 to 255,
• not be 999
If an invalid number is typed in during install, it will be increased to the next valid
number or decreased if it cannot go any higher. For example, if you enter 254 for
a workstation number for a site that has V2 Hardware, the system changes it to
256.

Customizing the Desktop Shortcut for Automatic Login

These instructions create a desktop shortcut that allows automatic login to
ORCAview. This icon automatically provides the username and password to
ORCAview and bypasses the ORCAview security features.

Caution: Do not use a shortcut providing automatic login unless you are
certain the site does not need username and password security, or, that
the username automatically logged in lacks permission to alter security
objects such as the SUA and UA objects or objects otherwise important to
site functions.

When you use the shortcut for automatic login, the following objects will exist on
your system:

• A System User Access (SUA) object in the ORCAview PC that uses the
automatic-login username and password. — If not, then you must create a
SUA object in the ORCAview PC containing the username and password.
(See the Creating a New User section in the System Security chapter.)

• A System User Access (SUA) object in the Network Security Panel that uses
the automatic-login username and password. — If not then you must create
such a SUA object. (See the Creating a New User section in the System
Security chapter.)

• A Site Settings (SS) object in the ORCAview PC that uses the site-name.
If not then you must create a SS object using the site name that you intend to
enter for automatic login. You cannot alter an existing SS object. (See the
Multiple Sites section in the Navigator chapter.)

1–44 Introduction

Architecture Design
The ORCA Hardware architecture is based on a hierarchical design. This allows
for simple and efficient communications in large Wide Area Networks and small
stand-alone systems. The ORCA® architecture is extremely flexible and can be
built up in a variety of configurations.

There are four levels to the ORCA hardware architecture: AREA level, SYSTEM
level, SUBNET level, and LINKnet level. AREA Level controllers are primarily
used to break-up large segments of a WAN. One controller per segment may be
configured as an AREA Level controller.

SYSTEM Level

SUBNET Level

LINKnet Level

ORCAview Version 3.40 Technical Reference Manual

Ed. 1.80 Original Page 1–44 Total Pages in this Section: 46
 System Architecture 1–45

SYSTEM Level controllers are used to logically distribute networks into

manageable building segments. SYSTEM Level Controllers are I/O controllers
for major equipment systems such as AHU’s. SYSTEM Level controllers have
Real-Time Clocks, EIA-232 serial ports, and battery backup. This will allow the
individual segments to function normally if network cabling is damaged and
communications between SYSTEM Level controllers is not possible or
interrupted. Only DSC and DSM model controllers can be placed at the SYSTEM
Level. Any DSC model can have a subnet of controllers beneath it. DAC model
controllers cannot be installed in the SYSTEM Level.

Ethernet – BACnet MS/TP

The following architecture illustrates the flexibility of the Delta ORCA Native
BACnet control system. Here, two SYSTEM level controllers have the Ethernet
option. This allows them to route from Ethernet to BACnet MS/TP at both the
SYSTEM Level (NET1 MS/TP port) and the SUBNET Level (NET2 MS/TP
port). OWS 3.40 supports the newer enteliBUS™ family of controllers including
the enteliTOUCH™ HMI and associated enteliBUS hardware.

Operator Workstation Connections

This diagram shows the possible workstation connections. A distinctive
connection point is the BACstat Service Port. Using Delta’s 232/485 converter
(CON-768) or the newer CON-768BT you can connect any laptop running
ORCAview software to the BACstat Service Port and see the entire Delta Controls
Network. This simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting, allowing the
Engineer to connect a workstation through a BACstat® near the problem area.

There are also several standard connection points such as EIA-232 ports using
BACnet PTP, directly or through a modem.

ORCAview connects directly to the Ethernet network through a Standard Ethernet

Network Interface Card connected to the ORCAview PC. It is also possible to use
ORCAview to connect to the network across the Internet using BACnet/IP
protocols

There is a service port on most Delta ORCA hardware. This service port supplies
power to the EIA-232/485 converter (CON-768) or wireless Bluetooth to wired
RS-485 CON-768BT converter so that the operator does not have to provide a
separate power supply for powering the converter.

ORCAweb and the newer enteliWEB™ provide additional means to access a

network.
