Key Takeaway

enteliWEB is a web-based SCADA and building automation platform developed by Delta Controls. It connects to BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks to provide browser-based operator interface, trend logging, alarm management, scheduling, and energy reporting for commercial HVAC and building management systems. It is used in universities, hospitals, commercial campuses, and multi-building facility portfolios.

Quick Answer

enteliWEB is a web-based SCADA and building automation platform developed by Delta Controls. It connects to BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks to provide browser-based operator interface, trend logging, alarm management, scheduling, and energy reporting for commercial HVAC and building management systems. It is used in universities, hospitals, commercial campuses, and multi-building facility portfolios.

What Is enteliWEB?

enteliWEB is Delta Controls' flagship building automation SCADA platform. Unlike general-purpose industrial SCADA systems designed for manufacturing or pipeline monitoring, enteliWEB is purpose-built for building automation — specifically designed for HVAC system monitoring, energy management, and facility operations. It runs as a web application on Windows Server with IIS and Microsoft SQL Server, providing browser-based access from any device without client software installation.

Delta Controls, headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia, is a leading manufacturer of BACnet-native building automation controllers. enteliWEB integrates natively with Delta's ORCA controller family and also supports any third-party BACnet-compliant device, making it suitable for mixed-vendor building automation environments.

enteliWEB Architecture

  • enteliWEB Server — Windows Server application running under IIS with SQL Server backend. Manages BACnet communication, data logging, alarm processing, and web client serving.
  • Web Client — Browser-based operator interface accessible from any modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox). No desktop client installation required. Provides graphics, trends, alarms, schedules, and configuration tools.
  • BACnet Network — enteliWEB communicates natively over BACnet/IP (UDP port 47808). BACnet MS/TP field devices are reached through BACnet routers (typically Delta Controls ORCA controllers).
  • Delta Controls Controllers — ORCA series controllers provide direct digital control (DDC) of HVAC equipment. They connect to enteliWEB via BACnet/IP and serve as routers to MS/TP field devices (VAV boxes, fan coil units).

Supported Protocols

  • BACnet/IP — Primary communication protocol for controller and device integration
  • BACnet MS/TP — RS-485 token-passing protocol for field-level devices, accessed through BACnet routers
  • Modbus — Via BACnet/Modbus gateway devices for power meters, lighting controllers, and other Modbus equipment
  • OPC — Integration with OPC servers for cross-platform data sharing

Key Features

  • Graphics Editor — Build custom floor plans and equipment diagrams with dynamic BACnet data binding, symbol library, and state-based animations.
  • Trend Logs — Record BACnet point history at configurable intervals with SQL Server storage, chart overlay, and CSV export.
  • Alarm Management — Receive BACnet alarm notifications, manage active alarm lists, route notifications by email, and maintain alarm history.
  • Scheduling — Create BACnet weekly and exception schedules for HVAC equipment operation and setpoint management.
  • Energy Reporting — Built-in energy dashboards, KPI tracking, consumption analysis, and EUI calculations.

enteliWEB in Commercial HVAC and Building Automation

enteliWEB is deployed in building types that require centralized HVAC monitoring and energy management:

  • Universities and campuses — Central monitoring of dozens to hundreds of buildings with different HVAC systems, consolidated alarm management, and campus-wide energy reporting.
  • Hospitals and healthcare — Critical environment monitoring (operating rooms, labs, pharmacies), strict alarm response requirements, and regulatory compliance trending.
  • Commercial office buildings — Tenant comfort management, energy optimization, and preventive maintenance scheduling.
  • Multi-building portfolios — Property management companies monitoring multiple sites from a single enteliWEB instance with per-building energy benchmarking.

How enteliWEB Compares to Other BAS Platforms

Compared to Ignition by Inductive Automation, enteliWEB is purpose-built for building automation with native BACnet support, a BAS-specific graphics library, and built-in energy reporting. Ignition is a more flexible general-purpose SCADA platform better suited for industrial process control and IIoT. For a detailed comparison, see enteliWEB vs Ignition.

Compared to Tridium Niagara, enteliWEB offers tighter integration with Delta Controls hardware and a more streamlined operator experience, while Niagara provides broader multi-protocol support and a larger third-party integrator ecosystem. Compared to Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Building Operation, enteliWEB is typically easier to deploy for pure BACnet environments but has a smaller global market presence.
