How to Determine if a Product Has Been Approved and Tested by the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL)

Issue Understanding whether a building automation product is certified by the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) is crucial for ensuring interoperability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series Environment Schneider Electric Building Management Systems BACnet-compliant devices Cause In the world of building automation, interoperability and reliability are paramount. That’s why many professionals rely on products certified by the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL)—a globally recognized authority that ensures BACnet-compliant devices meet rigorous standards for functionality and interoperability. Resolution What Is BTL Certification? BTL Certification is a formal recognition that a product has passed independent testing based on the BACnet standard. Administered by BACnet International, the certification process involves: Testing by a Recognized BACnet Testing Organization (RBTO) Verification against the industry-standard BACnet test package Issuance of a Certificate of Conformance Inclusion in the BTL Listing of Tested Products database Certified products display the BTL Mark, a symbol of quality and assurance that the device will integrate smoothly into BACnet-based systems. How to Verify BTL Certification To determine if a product is BTL certified: Visit the BTL Listing Database Navigate to the BTL Listing of Tested Products and search by: Manufacturer Product name Product category Look for the BTL Mark Certified products typically display the BTL logo on: Packaging Datasheets Product casing Review the Product’s PICS Document The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) outlines supported BACnet features and is available in the BTL listing. Schneider Electric and BTL Certification Schneider Electric is a leading provider of BMS solutions, and many of its products are BTL certified. These include: EcoStruxure Building Operation Servers (AS-B, AS-P, ES) SpaceLogic Controllers (MP-C, MP-V, RP-C series) Smart Field UC Controllers Andover Continuum Controllers These products support native BACnet communication and are designed for seamless integration into smart building environments. For example, the SpaceLogic AS-B server is a BTL-listed BACnet device that supports BACnet/SC, Modbus, MQTT, and other protocols, making it a versatile choice for modern BMS applications. https://ecostruxure-building-help.se.com/bms/topics/show.castle?id=10930&locale=en-US&productversion=7.0&a=1 Why BTL Certification Matters Using BTL-certified products offers several benefits: Reduced Integration Costs: Certified devices are more likely to work together without custom programming. Lower Risk: Independent testing ensures reliability and minimizes project delays. Future-Proofing: Certified products provide a solid foundation for system upgrades and expansions. Conclusion BTL certification is a key indicator of quality and interoperability in BACnet-based building automation systems. Whether you're specifying products for a new project or upgrading an existing system, checking for BTL certification—especially for trusted brands like Schneider Electric—ensures smoother integration, better performance, and long-term reliability.

How is a subnet defined, and what role does it play in IP networking?

Issue How is a subnet defined, and what role does it play in IP networking? Product Line EcoStruxure Access Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, EcoStruxure Security Expert, TAC I/NET Environment This explanation is based on principles outlined in TCP/IP Network Administration by Craig Hunt, published by O’Reilly & Associates, Inc Cause Subnetting is a method used to divide a larger IP network into smaller, more manageable segments called subnets. This segmentation helps optimize IP address usage, improve routing efficiency, and enhance network security and organization. Resolution What Is a Subnet? A subnet (short for subnetwork) is a logical subdivision of an IP network. It is defined by applying a subnet mask to an IP address, which determines how the address is split into: Network portion – identifies the specific network. Host portion – identifies individual devices (hosts) within that network. How Subnet Masks Work A subnet mask is a 32-bit binary pattern that accompanies an IP address. It uses binary values to indicate which part of the IP address refers to the network and which part refers to the host: A bit set to 1 in the subnet mask means the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network. A bit set to 0 means the corresponding bit is part of the host. Example IP Address: 192.168.1.10 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (binary: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 ) CIDR Notation: /24 This means: Network Address: 192.168.1.0 Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255 Usable Host Range: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 CIDR Notation Modern networks often use CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation to define subnets. CIDR expresses the subnet mask as a suffix (e.g., /24 ), indicating the number of bits used for the network portion. Common CIDR Blocks CIDR  Subnet Mask Hosts per Subnet /30 255.255.255.252 2 usable hosts /24 255.255.255.0 254 usable hosts /16 255.255.0.0 65,534 usable hosts Additional Notes Subnets are local constructs: They are meaningful within the internal network and typically not visible to external networks unless explicitly routed. Subnetting supports hierarchical addressing, which simplifies routing tables and improves scalability. Proper subnetting is essential for network performance, security segmentation, and efficient IP address management.

Why is so much information required when returning a failed controller to the factory?

Issue The factory uses the number of field failure returns to evaluate product quality.  The analysis of returned product has the potential to produce extensive information about how the product is performing and also reveal areas for improvement. Environment All controllers in following product lines:  MNB, MNL, Niagara, Network 8000, Micronet 2000. Cause Lately, many of the returned controllers, after factory-testing, have resulted in "no fault found", and a high percentage of these controllers have little to no explanation of the failure witnessed in the field. This makes it difficult to investigate the returned product further. Resolution Include the following information with all controller returns: A detailed description of the reason for return The name of the site from where the controller was removed The name and contact information of the field technician who determined the unit was defective The field technician will only be contacted if absolutely necessary. Write the above information on a "returned goods" identification tag (part number F-24802) and attach a tag to each returned controller.  The tags are available via the Publication Zone through iPortal at no charge. For more information on returning product to the factory, review the following technical product advisories: TPA-PSSG-09-0003.00  Return Process Improvement TPA-RKFD-10-0005.00  Return Process Improvements

When installing an older version of the I/A Series R2 software, the Niagara installer screen has the "Install Niagara" option grayed out.

Issue During the installation of the I/A Series R2 software, the first part of the installation completes successfully but when the "Niagara Setup" window is displayed, the "Install Niagara" option is grayed out.  This prevents the user from completing the installation of the software. Environment Any I/A Series R2 (Niagara) version prior to version 5.14 Cause All revisions of Niagara R2 prior to 2.301.514 require Microsoft's JVM.  This version of Java is not installed automatically on Windows XPsp3 computers and is automatically uninstalled from the Windows XP computer when Internet Explorer version 7 is first installed on the computer. To confirm if it is installed, open a Command Prompt window and type "jview" then press Enter. This command will display the current version of Microsoft's JVM (or an error message if it is not installed). Resolution Navigate to Exchange Extranet and download the software file Java Virtual Machine for WinXP After downloading and installing the JVM, rerun the Setup.exe program for the I/A Series R2 (Niagara) software to complete the installation of the I/A Series R2 software. The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine and the Sun Java  "Java Runtime Environment" (required for R2 versions 514 and newer) can coexist on the computer and will not interfere with each other.

Unable to connect to a G3 ENC or JACE after attempting to commission, downgrade or install a station.

Issue Unable to connect to a G3 ENC or JACE after attempting to downgrade or install a station. One of several different errors may be displayed in the serial shell console output.  The following are examples: Could not find library libcpp.so.3 Could not find library libcpp.so.4 Error occurred during initialization of VM - Java/Lang/ No Class Def found error: Java/Lang/object Product Line TAC I/A Series Environment I/A Series G3 ENC and JACE (all revisions), ENC-410, ENC-520, TRD-T-645, TRD-T-603, TRD-RB-645, TRD-RB-603, TRD-J-600E, TRD-T-700 Cause The issue is caused by downgrading the ENC / JACE without following the procedure to first install the clean distribution file. In addition, the ENC/JACE will fail if a station is copied into the ENC/JACE without first installing the OS and NRE software using the Workbench Commissioning Wizard. Note: With G3 release 3.3 and newer, the procedure for downgrading an ENC/JACE is included in the Niagara AX Platform Guide - Downgrading a JACE (Clean Dist). Resolution Tools needed: Null Modem Cable Serial Terminal (e.g. HyperTerminal or TeraTerm) Jumper Obtaining the files required to recover the ENC NOTE: If recovery of a Jace-700 is required, please contact Product Support for the recovery file. Download the appropriate OS image and gz file zip file for the ENC/JACE from the Exchange website - https://www.se.com/myschneider/content/ww/en/gc/general/ecoxpert-landing-page.jsp ENC-410.zip ENC-410-1 standard memory - etfs512 ENC-410-EM.zip ENC-410-1 extended memory - etfs2048 ENC-520.zip ENC-520-2 standard memory - etfs512 ENC-520-EM.zip ENC-520-2 extended memory - etfs2048 NPM6E.zip JACE603/645, TRD-RB-603/645, JACE600E Note: The files used in the following procedure MUST correctly match the ENC/JACE hardware platform, otherwise permanent damage to the unit may occur. The serial shell can be used to determine the file system requirements (standard or extended memory). To find the exact image needed for an ENC (JACE 2/4/5) execute the following while connected to the unit with serial shell: Log into the unit's menu system using the platform username and password. Type sh to exit the menu system and enter the shell mode. At the # prompt, (type: cat sys/info/fs) and enter This will return the file system type of etfs512 or etfs2048. Extract the OS image and gz files from the downloaded zip to a suitable directory on the local computer (e.g. local hard drive such as: c:\temp). Enable ftp: By default, the ftp port is disabled on every ENC/JACE as shipped from the factory.  Enable the ftp as follows. Set the jumper on the ENC to serial shell mode and connect the null modem cable between the PC and the ENC/JACE. Connect to the ENC using the Serial Terminal program and the following port settings: Baud rate 57600 bps (Note: JACE-603/645 baud rate is 115200) 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity After logging in to the menu system from the serial shell, do the following to enable ftp: Select option 4 from the menu Enter the port number (Normally 21). (type: 21) Press the Enter key to confirm the change Note: Leave the serial shell connection open while performing the next steps. FTP the OS image and gz files On the local system, open a command prompt window and change the directory to the location where the OS image and gz files were extracted (c:\temp). Connect to the ENC via ftp and put the OS image in the /tmp directory entering the following from the command line: Create a ftp connection to the ENC by typing: ftp and enter Type the username and password for the platform when prompted Change directory to /tmp (type: cd tmp) and enter Change to binary mode (type: bin) and enter Download the image to the ENC by using the put command. The image name must exactly match the image extracted from the downloaded zip file. ENC-410-1 standard memory (type: put york-etfs512.image) and enter ENC-410-1 extended memory (type: put york-etfs2048.image) and enter ENC-520-1 standard memory (type: put james-etfs512.image) and enter ENC-520-1 extended memory (type: put james-etfs2048.image) and enter JACE-600E, 603, 645 extended memory (type: put npm6xx-etfs2048.image) and enter Download the gz file to the ENC by using the put command. The name must exactly match the image extracted from the downloaded zip file. Change directory to the root (type: cd ../..) and enter Change directory to /ffs0/zip (type: cd ffs0/zip) and enter Download the gz file (type: put clean.tar.gz) and enter Exit ftp (type: quit) and enter Execute OS image update Return to the serial shell connection Type sh to exit the menu system and enter the shell mode At the # prompt, type: osupdate and enter After a short delay the # prompt will return. Shutdown to reboot the ENC (type: shutdown) and press enter. The ENC/JACE will reboot, install the clean distribution image and perform one additional reboot automatically. The ENC/JACE should now be recovered and allow connection to the platform. Connect and use the Workbench Commissioning Wizard to install the version of G3 required.

Unable to commission an I/A Series JACE-6 or JACE-7. The commissioning wizard cannot locate the sun-jre-qnx-ppc distribution file required for the installation process.

Issue Unable to commission an I/A Series JACE-6 or JACE-7. The commissioning wizard cannot locate the sun-jre-qnx-ppc distribution file required for the installation process. Environment I/A Series G3, JACE-6, JACE-7 Cause The sun-jre-qnx-ppc distribution file was not included in the initial TAC release of build 3.6.31.6.  in addition, the Sun Hotspot Virtual Machine (JVM) for the QNX operating system included with the 3.6.31.6 build was found to have timing issues. Review TPA-IA-11-0005.00 for more details. Resolution The initial TAC release of build 3.6.31.6 was removed for download within a few days of original release.  The software was replaced by TAC build 3.6.31.7 (dated 09/29/2011). For those using I/A Series G3 Release 3.6 you must take the following actions: Discontinue using G3 release build 3.6.31.6.   Download and install the latest build, G3 release 3.6.31.7 from The Exchange Download Center.   For those instances where deployment has already occurred in the following JACE platforms JACE-6 or JACE-7, an upgrade to G3 3.6.31.7 is required. Note: The version of the Sun Hotspot JVM can be verified using the Workbench Platform tool – Platform Administration. The Java Virtual Machine (sun-jre-qnx-ppc) should indicate Sun Microsystems Inc 1.5.0.16.21 or higher.   The Enterprise Network Server, ENC-410, ENC-520, and JACE-2 platforms do not utilize the Sun Hotspot Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for QNX.  These platforms are not affected by the issue. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to G3 3.6.31.7 to maintain compatibility with the same version of Workbench and associated files.

Network 8000 LNC-100 cannot communicate to LON devices but can be accessed with WorkPlace Tech or LON commissioning tool

Issue A Network 8000 LNC-100 cannot communicate to LON devices under it even though all the devices can be accessed with WorkPlace Tech or a LON commissioning tool. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment NETWORK 8000 LNC-100 LON devices WorkPlace Tech Cause If the LON network is known to be good and otherwise functioning, this issue indicates a problem with the LON interface in the LNC-100. This is typically caused by accidentally attempting to commission the LNC-100 using LonMaker or other LON commissioning tool. Attempting to commission the LNC-100 will result in its LON interface being set into a network state called HARD - OFFLINE. Resolution The condition can be corrected using the Echelon NODEUTIL program to set the interface network to the required CONFIGURED - ONLINE state. NodeUtil can be downloaded from The Exchange Download Center. After downloading NodeUtil to your computer, open a command prompt window and launch NodeUtil in that window.  After launching NodeUtil, perform the following steps to correct the problem. Press the F key to execute the Find function.  This will browse the connected LON network for all attached LON devices.  In the list of found devices, the LNC-100 will be identified with the program id "C 1 11.0A". Press the G key to execute the Go To Device function.  Enter the device number of the LNC-100 (program ID "C 1 11.0A") as displayed in the list of discovered devices.  The device menu will then be displayed. Press the S key to display the status of the device.  Typically 17 lines of status information are displayed followed by the "Device Status" menu.  Press Y to clear the error status.  The "Device State" line will usually show a state of either Configured, Off-line or Hard, Off-line. Press the  M key to change the device mode and state. After selecting the M command, the list of mode options is displayed.   Press the S key to select the State menu. The list of State options will be displayed.  Press the C key to set the device to the Configured state. A status message will be displayed followed by the DEVICE prompt. Press the M key again to display the Mode options then press N to set the device into the OnLine mode. A status message will be displayed followed by the DEVICE prompt. Press the S key again and verify that the Device State is now Configured, On-line. Press the D key to display the domain address table of the LNC-100.  One or two lines of device domain address information will display.  If two domain addresses were defined in the SYS: SIM block of the device, two lines of information will display, otherwise only one line will display.  Verify that the address information (Subnet, Node and Domain ID) are as set in the SYS: SIM block. The data entered for Domain0, Subnet0 and Node0 will be displayed on the Index 0 line. The data entered for Domain1, Subnet1 and Node1 will be displayed on the Index 1 line. Press the E key to exit the Device level and press the E key a second time to exit the program.

I/A Series G3 version 3.8 and N4 version 4.2 Weather Service not following redirects

Issue I/A Series G3 version 3.8 and N4 version 4.2 Weather Service not following redirects Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series G3 3.8.x I/A Series N4 version 4.2 or older  Cause The National Weather Service (NWS) started recently redirecting from an HTTPS to an HTTP connection. Current conditions are not updated in Weather Service. The following messages appear in station output:  TRACE [15:05:30 27-Feb-18 EST][weather] Redirect to https://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KBIV.xml WARNING [15:05:30 27-Feb-18 EST] [weather] Updating current conditions failed for WeatherReport javax.baja.sys.BajaException: Unable to get NWS Current Conditions feed at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getFeed(NwsCurrentReader.java:71) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getFeed(NwsCurrentReader.java:59) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getCurrent(NwsCurrentReader.java:84) at com.tridium.weather.nws.BNwsWeatherProvider.updateReport(BNwsWeatherProvider.java:630) at javax.baja.weather.BWeatherReport.doUpdateWeatherReport(BWeatherReport.java:275) at auto.javax_baja_weather_BWeatherReport.invoke(AutoGenerated) com.tridium.sys.schema.ComponentSlotMap.invoke(ComponentSlotMap.java:1602) at com.tridium.sys.engine.EngineUtil.doInvoke(EngineUtil.java:49) at javax.baja.sys.BComponent.doInvoke(BComponent.java:1135) at javax.baja.util.Invocation.run(Invocation.java:46) at javax.baja.util.Worker.process(Worker.java:166) at javax.baja.util.Worker$Processor.run(Worker.java:139) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Redirect URL same as requested URL: www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KBIV.xml at com.tridium.weather.nws.FeedReader.getFeed(FeedReader.java:60) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getFeed(NwsCurrentReader.java:67) ... 12 more java.io.IOException: Redirect URL same as requested URL: www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KBIV.xml at com.tridium.weather.nws.FeedReader.getFeed(FeedReader.java:60) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getFeed(NwsCurrentReader.java:67) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getFeed(NwsCurrentReader.java:59) at com.tridium.weather.nws.NwsCurrentReader.getCurrent(NwsCurrentReader.java:84) at com.tridium.weather.nws.BNwsWeatherProvider.updateReport(BNwsWeatherProvider.java:630) at javax.baja.weather.BWeatherReport.doUpdateWeatherReport(BWeatherReport.java:275) at auto.javax_baja_weather_BWeatherReport.invoke(AutoGenerated) at com.tridium.sys.schema.ComponentSlotMap.invoke(ComponentSlotMap.java:1602) at com.tridium.sys.engine.EngineUtil.doInvoke(EngineUtil.java:49) at javax.baja.sys.BComponent.doInvoke(BComponent.java:1135) at javax.baja.util.Invocation.run(Invocation.java:46) at javax.baja.util.Worker.process(Worker.java:166) at javax.baja.util.Worker$Processor.run(Worker.java:139) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Note: The issue does not occur in I/A Series N4 version 4.3 or higher. Resolution For I/A Series G3 version 3.8 and newer, patched weather.jar modules resolve this issue.

The Conditions Server slot is highlighted. Select Config Flags.   Config Flags dialog. Uncheck the Hidden flag and save.   View the Property Sheet for the provider and modify the Conditions Server to be w1.weather.gov

G3 schedules stop working after Daylight Savings Time (DST) changeover

Issue Some schedules stop operating correctly after Daylight Savings Time (DST) changeover.  Environment I/A Series G3, all ENS and ENC with builds 3.5.4, 3.4.53.1, 3.3.31.2, 3.2.23.1 or earlier. Cause Any station with a schedule, of any type, with an event set to occur during the "advanced" (missing) hour between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM on the DST changeover day. The resulting miscalculation of the schedule's "Next Time" or "Next Trigger" time could cause that schedule, or even other schedules in the station, to stop working. This typically affects downstream logic in the station. In some cases it was observed that the CPU usage on an ENC went up to 100% while calculating invalid next event times. Examples A station contains a BooleanSchedule with events at 12:00 AM and then again at 2:05 AM daily. At 12 AM the schedule executes normally and attempts to calculate the next event time. On the second Sunday in March the next event time calculates to a time that does not exist due to the DST change. This causes the Java thread that executes all schedules in the station to become tied up attempting to recalculate the time. A station contains a TriggerSchedule that periodically repeats every 15 minutes, with a range passing through the DST changeover time. On the second Sunday in March the next trigger time calculates to a time that does not exist (say, 2:15 AM). Again, this causes the Java thread that executes all schedules to become tied up attempting to recalculate. Resolution The solution to this issue is to upgrade the schedule.jar file in the platform to one of the versions below, or later. Files are available from The Exchange Extranet.  Release 3.3.31.2 (Download and extract schedule-3.3.34.1) If you are using a build that is higher than the above versions then you will not be affected by this issue.

Issue ENC is licensed for GCM but gets error "Unlicensed: javax.baja.license.FeatureNotLicensedException: tac_llc:tacgcm" when attempting to access the GCM Network property sheet. Environment I/A Series G3, ENC-520 with TAC-LLC license installed. Cause When displaying the I/A Series G3 Platform details via the Platform Administration screen in the Workbench, the display shows the following for licensing: Licenses   Tridium.license (Tridium 3.5 - never expires)   TAC_LLC.license (TAC_LLC 3.5 - never expires) Certificates   Tridium.certificate (Tridium - never expires) This information shows that the Tridium and TAC_LLC licenses have been installed but only the Tridium certificate. The TAC_LLC license will not be recognized unless the TAC_LLC.certificate is also installed (as shown in the following platform details display. Licenses   TAC_LLC.license (TAC_LLC 3.6 - never expires)  TAC.license (Tridium 3.6 - never expires)Certificates Tridium.certificate (Tridium - never expires)  TAC_LLC.certificate (TAC_LLC - never expires) Resolution There are two ways to resolve this issue depending on network connectivity of the G3 Workbench computer. If public ethernet connectivity is available, the licenses and certificates can be downloaded from the I/A Series G3 (Tridium) license server, using the Workbench "License Manager". Open Workbench and connect to the subject ENC. Open the Platform then select License Manager. In the License Manager, select [Import] then check "Import licenses from license server".  This process will download any available licenses for the selected device, along with any available certificates.  After the download is complete, the licenses and certificates downloaded will automatically be installed.  If public ethernet connectivity is not available or the certificate is not found, download the TAC_LLC certificate from The Exchange Download Center website.  Navigate to the I/A Series G3 (ENS, ENC, etc.) Conference > SE Proprietary Drivers.  Use Workbench to import the downloaded file.
