Tridium Niagara 4 Supervisor

The Niagara 4 Supervisor serves real-time graphical information to standard web-browser clients and performs essential functions such as analytics, centralized data logging/trending, archiving to external databases, alarming, dashboarding, system navigation, master scheduling, database management, and integration with other enterprise software applications. Additionally, the Niagara Supervisor provides a comprehensive graphical engineering toolset for application development and configuration. Among supervisory control solutions, Niagara Supervisor is far-and-away the market leader when it comes to harmonizing diverse controls systems and digital data sources.

Visualization & Analytics

The custom user interface you design to serve relevant data to end-users has a huge impact on project success. To support efficient UI development, Niagara not only offers the visualization improvements of the HTML5 standard, it also supports tag-based graphics. Niagara Analytics package is native to Niagara Supervisor, offering data source, functional and mathematical programming blocks that enable sophisticated analytic algorithms.

Easy Provisioning

Your productivity is important to us. We want Niagara users to sail through essential software configuration and maintenance tasks like managing station and platform users, security settings, and disaster recovery back-ups.  Niagara Supervisor’s System Database minimizes the time needed to bring remote Niagara instances under supervisory control. From the Niagara Supervisor, you can do efficient batch provisioning to install upgrades to JACE and Edge firmware. to enter security credentials, and to set-up applications and commissioning options. You can also save steps by taking advantage of built-in software templates and templating features.

Productivity improvements are coming with each new Niagara Supervisor release. As you tally the time and cost savings, don’t forget what might be the greatest factor: with one unified toolset, you can program your JACE units, Niagara Edge 10s and Niagara Supervisors, as well as any third-party edge devices that are ‘Powered by Niagara.’ Niagara certified professionals spend less time engineering their deployments, giving them even more time for activities that customers assign even higher-value, like delivering true insight into building operations through analytics.

Cyber Defense

Tridium proactively safeguards data acquired, stored and served by Niagara Framework. We make security settings configurable, so that all Niagara instances can be customized to adhere to organizational security policies related to user account management, public key infrastructure (PKI) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration, password expiration policies and more. We make cyber security visible through the Niagara Security Dashboard, a centralized, easy-to-read and actionable view on the security posture of your entire Niagara infrastructure. Our code is digitally signed and validated for integrity at runtime, and our JACE 8000 and Edge 10 is shipped with “secure boot” – so that owners can have a non-repudiated assurance that the device and the core software that runs on it have not been manipulated or altered by malicious software. Niagara now also enforces third-party module signing, automatically eliminating the risk that modules may have been tampered with or come from an untrustworthy source. We work closely with cyber watchdog organizations like ICS-Cert, so that any vulnerabilities discovered in Niagara code are patched in a timely manner and that customers are alerted per cyber best practices.
