Issue
Elements in Sigma Graphics within EBO are not displaying correctly when its bound object commands the element to display or not to display.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Workstation
- Building Operation Webstation
Cause
The issue arises on a machine that has a Windows Language Pack e.g. Norwegian Bokmål installed where the decimal separator uses a comma (,) rather than a dot (.).
In the example, using the EBO Graphics Editor, it can be seen that the decimal separator in 0,5 is a comma in the 'condition' command, other commands are also effected e.g. Bitmap, Alarm etc;
Resolution
When a Sigma graphic Data Import is undertaken the decimal separator dot (.) used by the Sigma machine is replaced by a comma (,).
On the Sigma server machine using Registry Editor. Registry Edit can be run by typing RegEdit in the Windows search box on the Task Bar.
1. Goto > Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Control Panel\International\
2. Locate sDecimal.
3. sDecimal will be set to a comma (,). Change to a dot (.).
4. Re-import the Sigma graphics using the Graphics Data Import in EBO.
5. Select a graphic and edit using the EBO Graphics Editor, select an element and check that a .(dot) is used.
Finally, check operation by changing object states on the graphics and the respective element changes state too.
Note: This will be auto checked and be incorporated into the Sigma Transition Tool in the future.
