Issue BACnet/IP controllers are not configured in RSTP Mode by default, therefore must be configured during installation. Having RSTP Mode disabled by default allows one to connect BACnet/IP controllers to any switch, even with port security configured to detect BPDU packets and disable the port. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series Environment Multi-purpose Controller (MP-C) Multi-purpose VAV (MP-V) Room Controller IP-IO I/A Series N4 Jace8000 SmartX IP Driver for Niagara Cause RSTP protocol requires that controllers, switches, and network architecture are configured to ensure the protocol will operate as expected.  Resolution Setting RSTP Mode for BACnet/IP Controllers ALL devices in the RSTP loop MUST BE IN RSTP MODE to function properly. This is not a huge issue because during startup you can unplug 2nd side of the loop and it will function properly in a daisy chain. Ensure the SmartX Controllers are configured correctly Configuring BACnet/IP Controller Device Settings A factory or network reset returns the RSTP setting to Disabled. Important: Whenever you change RSTP settings, the controller MUST be WARM START. If you fail to perform this restart, the BACnet/IP controller will continue communicating using its previous RSTP settings. 'Activate IP Changes' does not affect RSTP mode. Ensure the switch is configured correctly per Configuring RSTP on a Managed Switch for SmartX IP Controllers. If asked to review this for a case, please provide PSS screenshots from the switch configuration page(s).  Bridge Priority = 4096 Hello Time = 2 sec Max Age = 40  (40 is the maximum value allowed by the protocol. Default is 20) Forward Delay = 21 sec Bridge Priority Considerations Change Bridge Priority by adding 4096 as switches get further away from AS. (8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672) DO NOT set the priority as 32768 or higher because that is the built-in Bridge Priority of BACnet/IP Controllers. First, configure the Root Bridge Switch (closest to the Automation Server) settings. Then, configure the additional Switches in order of increasing Bridge Priority. Plug in 2nd side of the RSTP Loop If all devices stay online, then it is working properly. Now test line breaks or controllers that are powered off. If all devices go offline and/or the switch LED is flashing rapidly, then go to RSTP Troubleshooting. Managed Switch Troubleshooting Consult the documentation or contact the vendor or manufacturer to assist with configuration for the items below. Ensure the switch is IEEE 802.1D - 2004 capable. BACnet/IP Controller Networking Term Definitions RSTP Ring mentions the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is specified in IEEE 802.1D - 2004. Ensure the firmware is up-to-date by contacting the vendor or manufacturer or downloading it from its website. Ensure ports not participating in RSTP are configured as Edge Port, Admin port, or have STP disabled. Nomenclature for those settings on your specific managed switch may vary. Adding BACnet/IP controllers to site-managed switches, work with Local IT to add these devices to their network. They will need to work with their switch vendor/manufacturer/support group to ensure the configuration of those switches because it could be more complex than changing the minimum recommended four settings above. Also, since RSTP Protocol is limited to Max Age = 40 (hops including site switches and BACnet/IP controllers), each loop's size may be limited based on their site switch network configuration and architecture.  Determined the proper configuration (or disable) for the following features. DHCP snooping Dynamic ARP inspection Denial-of-service (DOS) mitigations BPDU Guard BPDU Filter Energy-saving settings. Similar to Wake-on-LAN: the switch had minimal traffic, so ports entered power-saving mode.

Check to see if there is a possible DHCP issue by verifying controllers are still at their AUTO-IP address (IP 169.254.nnn.nnnn Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0). RSTP communications issues affect the entire RSTP loop or one contiguous group of controllers.

Issue At first, TGML graphics in Building Operation WorkStation load correctly and display real-time values. However, after the Enterprise Server has been running for an extended period, the graphics begin to load slowly, and values stop refreshing or updating. Restarting the Enterprise Server temporarily restores functionality, but the issue eventually reoccurs. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation WorkStation Building Operation Enterprise Server TGML Graphics SmartConnector Cause This issue is typically caused by the behavior of a SmartConnector that: Polls values too frequently Creates a new login session for each poll instead of reusing an existing session This results in a high number of open sessions with the Enterprise Server. In the SmartConnector view, multiple active sessions can be observed. The problem tends to occur when there are more than 150 active connections, although this threshold may vary depending on the server’s processing load.     Resolution To resolve this issue, request the SmartConnector developers to: Adjust the polling rate to a more appropriate interval Reuse existing login sessions instead of creating a new one for each poll These changes will significantly reduce the number of active sessions and improve the performance and reliability of graphic updates in the Enterprise Server.   Additional Notes Monitor the number of active sessions via the SmartConnector view. Consider implementing session management best practices to avoid similar issues in future deployments.

Issue When opening a Function Block application in WorkStation, adjusting the zoom level does not retain the setting the next time the Function Block is opened. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation WorkStation v6.0.4 and earlier Building Operation Builder for Function Block Cause There is currently no setting in versions 6.0.4 and earlier that allows the zoom level to be retained in the Builder for Function Block editor. Resolution Starting with Building Operation 7.0.2, a new feature has been introduced that allows the default zoom level to be retained when reopening Function Block Program.

Issue A customer would like to install an Enterprise Central(EC)  on the D drive instead of the C drive is that possible to do?   Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Cause In this case the customer is not allowed to install any files on the C drive so all EBO files should be installed on the D drive instead. Resolution It is possible to install the EC or ES on the D drive, when installing you specify the programs and backups should be installed on the D drive instead of the C drive. And the programs and the backups are installed on the D drive as specified. But there is some files that always will be installed on the C drive:     The backup is installed at D:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure as it should but we also get a S2Connect folder at C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure. When installing Workstation that will be installed on D:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure as the EC is installed there. But then we also get a GraphicsEditor folder and Workstation folder at C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure. And then installing the License Administrator also add LicenseFiles folder at C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure These files will always be installed on the C drive and this is not possible to change. NOTE:  If Workplace Tech Editor is being used by Workstation on the PC, the accompanying Visio installation has to be installed, per Microsoft in the C: drive.

Issue PCT project folder size increases when an object is deleted. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Project Configuration Tool, PCT Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Cause Any change made in PCT increases the size of PCT project folder. This is by design and it is a normal behavior of PCT. The reason for this is that a project is a virtual machine using a dynamically allocated image that grows when memory is needed, but the image will not shrink when something is deleted.  Resolution The only way to reduce the folder size of a project is to backup all servers in the project, create a new project, restore the server backups to the new project and then delete the old project.

Issue After upgrade of Building Operation and / or I/NET, I/NET alarms and events have stopped updating within WorkStation. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC INET Environment I/NET Seven 2.4x Integration with Enterprise Server EcoStruxure Building Operation 1.8 and above Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Cause Within the I/NET Seven SQL database table [InetDb].[dbo].[Events].[EventId], the EventId has not incremented correctly, so there is a missing EventId (causes unknown). Because of this missing EventId Building Operation waits at this missing ID to appear before updating its own event.db database. Since this ID will never show, no events will ever be passed through to Building Operation and effectively stops any I/NET events appearing within Building Operation WorkStation This EventId is seen in a registry entry called NspAmtEventId under the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CSI - Control Systems International\I/Net 2000\Configurations Resolution Current workaround is to manually edit this registry key NspAmtEventId value to: A value above the highest [InetDb].[dbo].[Events].[EventId].value - if the past events are not required. OR Increment its value by 1 if all past values are required to be retained. i.e. If NspAmtEventId = 82237682 typically only needs to be changed to 82237683 to correct this issue. If not then you should check the [InetDb].[dbo].[Events].[EventId].value After editing this registry value the Enterprise Server service needs to be restarted, after which events will then start to be processed by Building Operation. It should be noted if you use option 2 above that there will be some time for all this data to be updated within Building Operation and there may be some bogus (old) alarms appear, which should be taken into consideration before implementing this resolution.

Issue How do I put a different application in an existing MNL controller under an AS? Environment AS with MNL controllers Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Cause An incorrect application has been installed in a device. Resolution First, the correct application must exist in the WorkPlace Tech editor list.   Expand the System Tree to expose the MNL device to be changed and the Application file under it.  Right click on Application and select delete.  Now right click on the MNL controller select MNL and Assign application and assign the correct application from the list.

Issue The database files used by the WebReports SQL database need to be moved to another location. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment WebReports SQL Server Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Cause There are numerous reason for wanting to do this, but the most common reason is that there is not enough space on the disk where the WebReports databases are located. By moving to another disk this will allow space for future expansion. Note that this article only describes how to move the database files to another harddrive. The SQL server and database files must still be on the same PC where WebReports is installed. Resolution To move the database files, follow this process: Start by backing up everything. Stop the reporting agent service (name: ReportingAgentService). Open SQL Server Management Studio and locate the database. Right-click on the database and select Tasks-->Detach. Locate the SQL database files (*.mdf and *.ldf) in Windows explorer. Cut or copy these files and move them to the desired location. Go back to SQL Management Studio and select the Databases folder. Right-click and select Tasks-->Attach database. When the dialogue opens up, locate the 'ADD' button and click on it. Browse to the database files' new location and click on OK. Restart the reporting agent service.

Issue Confused by RF-Series sensor wiring instructions. Do the controller's input return and the supplied power ground connect to the same termination on the sensor? Environment RH-Series sensor Warning Electrostatic Discharge Required: Always discharge static electricity from your person by touching metal prior to handling any hardware.

Issue User of EcoStruxure Building Operation WorkStation used the "Remember me on this computer" option and logged into an account that does not have account rights to logout. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment WorkStation Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Cause A situation such as this could happen either due to inattention of the user or because of planned system design (Kiosk with Building Operation WorkStation logged into a read only account). However it might be necessary due to maintenance to adjust the login option. In the absence of a kiosk situation, it is recommended to always leave the ability for a user to logout by only hiding the toolbar instead of disabling it. Resolution The solution can differ depending on the installation or usage scenario. User has access to log off option Once logged into Building Operation WorkStation use the log off option to return to the login prompt Uncheck the "Remember me on this computer" option. Enterprise Server on another computer or accessing an Automation Server Disconnect the Ethernet cable for the computer or disable the network port Building Operation WorkStation attempts to login returning user to the login prompt. Enterprise Server on same computer The Enterprise Server can be stopped temporarily and the next attempt to start Building Operation WorkStation will result in a communication failure allowing you to modify the "Remember me on this computer" selection. This could result in loss of data while the Enterprise Server is stopped. Delete the Building Operation WorkStation configuration file (named either SBO.ClientUserProfile.bin or TAC.ClientUserProfile.bin for older versions) stored in the computer application data. Deletion of this file will result in loss of custom settings such as column widths and similar customizations.
