Victoria, Canada—With the latest release of RC-WebView^®, a browser-based building management software solution, Reliable Controls introduced key features and performance improvements that enhance user flexibility, streamline workflows, and expand system interoperability across smart buildings.

New in RC-WebView 3.16.1

Offline mode for design and validation: RC-WebView now supports an offline working mode, enabling administrators to design, configure, and validate user interfaces without the need for a live system connection. This means teams can confidently build and test Navigation Groups, Navigation Trees, and Enterprise Schedules, then synchronize with the live system when ready, saving time and reducing errors.

RESTful API integration: RC-WebView supports reading and writing data from controllers via a RESTful API. APIs serve as a universal translator for building systems that use different protocols. The benefits of this enhanced interoperability include:

• Seamless system integration: APIs break down data silos by enabling communication between diverse systems and platforms, regardless of vendor or protocol, creating a more cohesive, intelligent building ecosystem.
• Scalable customization and innovation: APIs empower developers and integrators to build tailored applications, dashboards, and automations that evolve with building needs.
• Real-time access to actionable data: APIs provide instant access to building performance data, facilitating more informed decisions, faster troubleshooting, and the ability to automate responses.

Ability to export systems as job packages: Users can now export all Job File assets associated with a system as a compressed job package .zip file, simplifying setup in RC-Studio^® and standardizing configuration.

Improvements in RC-WebView 3.16.1

• Faster save and load times for Enterprise Schedules and System Groups
• Ability to search Manual Points Report worksheets by system and add to Navigation Groups and Trees
• User attribution for audit trails and alarm history PDFs
• Reduced memory use for Navigation Groups with alarm animations, ensuring stable performance during extended sessions

“With RC-WebView 3.16.1, we’re giving building operators more flexibility and control than ever before,” says Robert Prinz, Product Owner at Reliable Controls. “Offline mode brings the design process forward without connection to a live system, the RESTful API unlocks convenient integrations, and overall performance improvements help our users work faster. This release is all about improved engineering efficiency.”
