Issue Cannot select data points of remote nodes to be references in a graphic on the monitor MPM Environment SmartStruxure Lite Multi-Purpose Manager MPM-VA MPM-UN MPM-GW Cause Feature not built-in Resolution When building dashboards on monitor MPMs, only local points can be used in the graphics. To be able to select points of remote MPMs, The Object_Copy script must be used. The script will copy points from the remote nodes to the monitor and make them local to that monitor MPM. This method can be used in ZigBee, Canbus and UDP networks. For example, to copy a point from each of the remote MPMs to the monitor, the script would have to be modified as follows object_list[1] = {tag = "zone1", source_device = "DEV200", source_point = "AV11", destination_device = "ME", destination_point = "AV1"} object_list[2] = {tag = "zone2", source_device = "DEV300", source_point = "AV22", destination_device = "ME", destination_point = "AV2"} object_list[3] = {tag = "zone3", source_device = "DEV400", source_point = "AV33", destination_device = "ME", destination_point = "AV3"}   Important notes: This script increase the monitor's CPU % usage and increases the traffic on the network. Therefore, depending on the size of the network, it is critical not to use more than a couple of points per remote MPM

Issue How to send an event based alarm to one or multiple email addresses using an MPM Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment SmartStruxure Lite Multi-Purpose Manager MPM-VA MPM-UN MPM-GW Cause Emails can only be sent using a Lua script Resolution To send e-mails to alert a list of recipients when a pre-defined condition is met, you need to create a Lua Program object (PG1 for example) on your monitor MPM. Copy and paste the attached Email_Alert_AN015 script in the Loop section of the program object and activate it by pressing the green Play button. Don’t forget to save both the object and the database when you are done. You will need to modify this script to represent your own event, including the server information, the list of recipients and the content of the message sent. The monitored variable and the limit conditions can be modified directly from the Event object in Building Expert. In the above example, room temperature is 23 which means that the "Event State" is 0. An email alert will be sent out when the temperature exceeds the high limit (Event State = 3) or when the temperature goes below the low limit (Event State = 4) defined by the event.   Tip 1 Only a Manager connected via Ethernet has the ability to send emails. For a network composed of a daisy chain (CANbus) or a wireless mesh (ZigBee mesh), the Lua program that manages e-mail alerts for all the nodes on the network must reside on the monitor node. The variables in the Lua program will be obtained from any remote node on the network, and the email sent by the monitor if a condition is met. To get an object from a remote node, refer to Display values/objects from a remote MPM on dashboard of the monitor MPM Tip 2 Should you have issues sending emails with the above script, verify that the User and Password defined in the script are accurate and up to date and that all server information is accurate. Also ensure that the Ethernet configuration (ETH1 object) of your SmartStruxure™ Lite Manager is accurate and represents the current settings of your network. Pay special attention to the DNS and Gateway settings. Your monitor Manager will be able to operate on a local network even if these settings are not accurate, but will not be able to access the Internet, which is required to send emails. Tip 3 When using Google’s server mentioned below, it is important to use the following information Google* Server aspmx.l.google.com Domain google.com Port 25** Sender *** Recipient   Username (Not Required)**** Password (Not Required) *Google can only be used to send emails internally from Gmail to Gmail **When port 25 is used, emails are stored in the spam folder ***Bracket < > are not to be discarded, otherwise syntax error 5.5.2 appears ***Note that the user authentication is not required for the google server and if included, will be rejected. Tip 4 The AOL’s server mentioned below can be used to send emails from an AOL account to any other email and does not send the emails to the spam folder AOL Server Smtp.aol.com Domain Aol.com Port 25 or 587 Sender email@AOL.com Recipient Your_email@AOL.com Username (Required) email@AOL.com     (or any other email) Password (Required) Your password   Tip 5 Email server using Port 25 and not requiring authentication, sendUser and SendPassword lines needed to be deleted from Variables section

Issue In firmware 2.19.1, the MPM Modbus Generic Driver feature has been introduced with little to no explanation on how to use it Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment Multi Purpose Manager (MPM) Cause Sample CSV file not available on MPM Resolution In order to establish communication with a modbus device, a CSV (comma separated values) file of a certain format must be uploaded to the GMC1 object. Once uploaded the file will be visible in the drop-down list.   Requirements and Limitations Only holding registers are supported at this time (Modbus function codes 3 and 16) The CSV file mast be renamed Modbus_[label].csv where label is the name of the device or a label to help identification (e.g. Modbus_SE8000.csv) Write only registers are not supported It is not possible to use a more than 32 bits variable in write mode It is not possible to leave a blank column in CSV register configuration file except the last column It is not possible to create a continuous register table using different variable types   The CSV file must have the following format: modbus_addr,register_type,label,access,factor,unit Download example here (The text file can be viewed in a text editor but its extension must renamed to csv before uploading it to the MPM) modbus_addr: modbus register address (Decimal number between 1 and 65535) register_type: "uint" (UI16) "int" (SI16) "float" (F32) "ulong" (UI32) "int64" (SI64) "uint64" (UI64) label: name for this register, this will also be used to populate the associated object in the MPM Alphanumeric value between 1 and 32 characters. No special characters (comma, simple quotes, double quotes,%,&,@,#, etc.) access: read or read_write. read will only poll register based on driver availability (30 seconds typical) read_write will monitor for a change of value of the associated point, which will then generate a write event to the device with this new value factor: multiplier / gain Float number, typical between 0.001 and 65535. Typical use are factors of 10: (1,10,100, etc) This factor is multiplied when reading and is divided when writing.     unit: BACnet unit, used for the object units in the MPM.

Issue Power cycling the SE8000 room controller will cause the settings to revert to default. This requires reconfiguring each of the parameters once again. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment Multi Purpose Manager Automation Server SE8xxx Room controller SE8000 Series SER8300, SE8300, SE8350 Ex. Viconics branding VT8000 Series Cause This has to do with BACnet priority; if the configuration was not written with the appropriate priority, the Room controller will overwrite the parameters upon a power cycle and set them to default. Resolution There are a few ways to prevent the SE8000 from reverting to its default settings after a power cycle: Configuring each Room Controller locally by navigating to the configuration menu. (Centralized and Standalone system) Using a LUA4RC script (Centralized and Standalone system) Writing to points with a specific priority via the BACnet front-end (Centralized system) NOTE: Since Zigbee does not have any command prioritization mechanisms, setting the parameters from an MPM via Zigbee will not be retained after a power cycle and is strongly not recommended. All three methods can be used to configure a Room Controller prior to or after its installation. Configuration prior to installation can save a lot of time for the technician on site.     1 - Configuration on SE8000 (Local) Changing the parameters on the SE8000 locally will permanently save the settings and will also allow the user to change the parameters settings locally (e.g. Occupied cooling setpoint). This however can be time consuming.   2 - Configuration via LUA4RC This method is especially useful in standalone applications with no BACnet front end. If there are many parameters that need to be adjusted, it will be quicker to upload the script to each of the Room controllers rather than navigate to each parameter manually. By default, when you assign a value to a BACnet point, the write priority will be priority 16 Example: ME.MV6 = 2 --Set "Network Units" to Imperial (blocked by using priority 16, not user-adjustable) To write to another priority, an array is used Example: ME.MV4_PV[3] = 1            --Language will be blocked by user, room controller and bacnet front-end. Will be saved to memory and will stay after a power cycle NOTE: To release this priority, you can set it to nil (example: ME.AV25_PV[8] = nil). To access the relinquish default, priority 17 can be used Example: ME.MV10_PV[17] = 1    --Set "Occupancy Command" to "Local Occupancy"; here it is mandatory to have (_PV[17]) because thermostat must be able to toggle between "Occupied" and "Unoccupied" temperature Use the script below as a template for your LUA4RC script (remove comments to use less memory) if not init then ME.MV6 = 2           --"Network Units" ME.MV10_PV[17] = 1  --"Occupancy Command"  ME.AV46_PV[17] = 3   --"Standby Temperature Differential" ME.MV5 = 2           -- "Time Format" ME.AV67_PV[17] = 4   --Standby Time ME.AV68_PV[17] = 12  --Unoccupied Time ME.MV46_PV[17] = 3   --UI 16 Configuration ME.MV4_PV[3] = 1     --Language --Add all required configuration parameters init = true end   3 - Configuration Via BACnet: SE8000 parameters can be configured via the BACnet front end by using the following priorities: Priority 2 or 3: Using these priorities will permanently save the setting on the SE8000 and will not allow the user to change the settings locally. Relinquish default: This will allow the user to change the value locally on the SE8000. This is typically used with setpoints NOTE: using Priority 16 will not allow the user to change the value locally on the SE8000, however, the SE8000 will revert to value to default upon a power cycle. Another effective method is to push the configuration to multiple SE8000s across the network using a lua script. See Bulk Lua4RC upload via BACnet (Mass upload).

Issue General use of the Wireshark program. Product Line Access Expert, Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Pelco, Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC IA Series, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Ethernet Networks Cause General Information on using WireShark. Resolution Wireshark is an Ethernet packet analysis programme, Which can be downloaded from: Latest version available from Wireshark Locally stored version 1.0.9 Installing Wireshark If necessary, unzip the WireShark executable file to a suitable location on the PC/Laptop you wish the programme to be installed on. Run the executable file and follow the on-screen instructions. Rules for capturing LAN traffic using Wireshark: Do not use a switch or router to connect the LAN capture PC to the network as these will filter important network activity that you will need to see. You will want to capture everything that is passing over the network at the point of concern. Usually, this means tapping into the ethernet at the Controller or controllers, that is having an issue. midBit-Technologies-LLC-10-100 is an example of a device that can be used to easily tap into the network to take the capture. The monitoring PC must see all traffic from the controller's point of view. The monitoring PC can be connected in either two ways: Connected to the network at the controller The customers IT department can mirror all the network traffic from the controllers port to another port the PC can be connected to. If connected to the network at the controllers, the connection must be made through a true ethernet hub. A hub will not selectively filter important network traffic as a switch or a router will do. More information on what a "true ethernet hub" can be found at http://wiki.wireshark.org/HubReference There are however some switches that feature port mirroring, please see How to Configure a NETGEAR Prosafe Plus Switch for Mirroring. If connected to a mirrored port, the port must mirror 100% of the network traffic to and from the controller. No filtering should be done. Once a complete capture file has been obtained it can be filtered after the fact using WireShark or EtherReal. Using Wireshark Run WireShark Start a trace by choosing the "Capture" menu and then select "Interfaces" Choose the appropriate interface. Generally, this can be identified by its IP Address, but if not, then the packets increasing are an indication. Press the "Start" button. The trace will start and will be similar to the following screenshot. After an appropriate time, the trace can be stopped by selecting "Capture" menu and "Stop" To save the capture file, choose "File" menu and "Save As".

Issue Software installation problems with Windows 7 OS and above Configuration problems also known as UAC / User Account Control These problems occur when you receive an error message stating that you do not have the correct administrative rights to continue. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Windows 7 Windows 8 8.1 Windows 10 Server 2012 Cause Windows 7 and above user administrator privilege settings (UAC) Resolution The solution to this issue is to turn off the user admin settings before the software is installed by following these instructions: Go to Start > Control Panel. Set the view to "small icons" to show all Control Panel icons Click on "User Accounts." Make sure that the account used for installing the software is a full admin user. On this page, click on "Change User Account Control settings", a slider bar that starts with "Never notify" up to "Always notify" by default will be set to "Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer" Set it to "Never notify." This will disable all the admin blocks that pop up in installing and configuring software Once set, restart the PC and then continue with your software installation and configuration Once all is installed and working, the feature may be turned back on if required. Additional requirements for Windows server 2012 and Windows 10. Please note: this process may open the "Windows 10 Firewall up" For Windows Server 2012 and Windows 10, additional steps are required to disable User Account Control. Although the slider bar can be set to “Never Notify”, the User Account Control does not disable completely. The User Account Control can be disabled for any user by setting the system registry value “EnableLUA” to zero in the system registry under the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system”. A Windows registration file has been included in the Continuum 2.01 release in order to expedite these additional steps. Or the attached file EnableLUA.zip can be used, unzip and execute.  Supplement: Using the right click "run as administrator" instead of this is not the same. The right click will only run that .exe as an administrator and not the whole install/configuration package, i.e. SQL2005 manager will fail to run if you do not do as instructed above. You will always get an error stating that you do not have permission to run this program.  Alternate Windows 10 Admin. to User privilege for I/Net Seven:   Go to this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\ Inet Seven 1) Rename and move to a new folder these files.       A) INetIoSrv.exe.manifest       B) INetW.exe.manifest       C) If there is a file equalization client, then there is INetEqzMerge.exe.manifest to do this change on as well.  2) Change the DbCreate by doing this:       Another problem for non-admin users will be logging into and using DbCreate. A work-around for that would be to create a new login into the SQL database that could be shared among all DbCreate users and would provide the necessary rights.       Alternate Windows 7 Admin to User privilege for I/Net Seven:  See the attached Document and Manifest Files

Issue Checking if a port is open Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, Pelco, Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC IA Series, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment TCP/IP Communication Command Prompt Telnet Command Cause Suspect certain network ports are blocked and need to verify Resolution It is possible to check if a port is open in a network by issuing the Telnet command. Note:- Telnet operates using the TCP protocol. UDP connectivity cannot be tested using Telnet. If a port is open, a blank screen will be seen after issuing the command: telnet [domainname or ip] [port] where [domainname or ip] is the domain name or IP address of the server being checked [port] is the port number the server application is listening on For example: telnet 192.168.0.20 9001 (to a closed port would display a connect failed message)   telnet 192.168.0.20 9003 (to an open port would display a blank screen)   To exit the Telnet session, type Ctrl + ] and then type "quit".   For how to enable Telnet in Windows 7 please see Enable Telnet Client on a Windows 7 PC

Issue Maximum Limits for SmartStruxure Lite Design (Scalability, Capacity) Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment SmartStruxure Lite Multi-Purpose Manager (MPM) Cause What are the maximum number of communication between managers and end device Resolution Guidelines: number of end devices per node Wired ● 6 wired inputs (Ohms / Volts, Analog or Digital) ● 6 wired outputs (4 analog 0-12VDC, 2 digital) The analog output ports has a maximum nominal load of 50mA each. ● Need more? Modbus I/O extenders, SEC-TE, etc. Wireless devices ● In theory: almost unlimited (no physical constraints) ● In practice: limited by range and strength of wireless signal     ● EnOcean: Rule of thumb is within room (up to 75ft in building – line of sight)     ● ZigBee: Rule of thumb is within room (up to 150ft in building – line of sight)     Limited by application     ● Frequency of transmission     ● Efficient handling of data queues Guidelines: number of end devices per node BACnet - with the current basic client capabilities, the maximum number of devices supported on a single BACnet network is 1000. Modbus      Limitations for ModBus connectivity per MPM is 31 devices but depends on polling rate and amount of points:         ● Using pre-defined objects, polling rate is 30s / device         ● Using Lua script, polling rate variable ZigBee or EnOcean for the end devices? ZigBee ● Longer range ● Reliability built-in the protocol (ack, retries, …) ● Requires a battery ● Multiple channels available (possible to isolate networks / groups) EnOcean ● Self-powered (no battery) ● Easy to deploy ● Lower range ● Reliability must be ensured at the application level ● No retries ● ZigBee coordinator is a device that sets up the network, is aware of all the nodes within its network. Every ZigBee network must contain a network coordinator. ● ZigBee router can act as an intermediate router, passing on data from other devices. ● ZigBee end-device is part of the network, but doesn’t re-route information to neighbors. How many devices can I use? ZigBee ● A ZigBee network should not have more than 75 ZigBee devices in total (coordinator, router and end devices); ● A ZigBee network should not have more than 24 ZigBee routers (+1 coordinator) ● A ZigBee node (coordinator or router) should not control more than 10 peripheral end devices. EnOcean ● Using pre-built objects: ● 4 Thermostats ● 20 Switches ● 20 Relays ● The maximum number of devices added to each MPM is 49 ●The maximum number of EnOcean devices added to each MPM is 49 ●The maximum number of EnOcean devices with the same EEP added to each MPM is 49 .This only applies to firmware 2.13.1 and later, the limit for previous firmware is 20. An Exception is the following limits for devices/widgets per MPM: 20 EnOcean Switches 20 EnOcean Relays 4 EnOcean Thermostats The AV and BV variables The MPM-UN controller comes with 100 AV's and 100 BV's. MPM has capacity for up to 700 AV's and 700 BV's. After the initial 100 are consumed, add Value Banks of 100 for each AV and BV. Value Banks will be added as sub-devices under the main MPM.  Maximum data Points: MPMs can have up to 750 data points per monitor. What is the maximum size for background graphics? The maximum size of a background picture (in dashboard or section map) is 2Mbyte with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Width x Height). For analog inputs with a signal range in Ohms has no reading limit. You just need to configure the table in the AIC object assigned to referred input.

Issue Unsure what options are available in the Lua smtp.send() function. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment SmartStruxure Lite Multi-Purpose Manager (MPM) Cause The Lua smtp.send() function is not fully documented. Resolution The syntax of the smtp.send() function is: smtp.send { from = string, rcpt = string or string-table, source = LTN12 source, [server = string,] [user = string,] [password = string,] [port = number,] [domain = string] }   From above you can see that the "from", "rcpt" and "source" fields are required. Whilst "server", "user", "password", "port" and "domain" fields are optional. Example Lua code is: --============================================================================== -- SSL email notification script example --============================================================================== -- Define the input you want to monitor below var("temperature", "ME.AI1") -- Room Temperature limit = 78 -- define the threshold now = scl.sysclock() if (temperature > limit) then -- When temperature is above threshold     if (sent == nil) -- Check if e-mail was already sent     and ((last == nil) or (now - last > 15 * 60)) then -- Maximum every 15 minutes         sent = true -- Only send e-mail once         last = now -- Keep track of last time     result, reason = smtp.send {     user = "alerts@server.com",  -- Enter your existing SMTP username     password = "test1234",  -- Enter your existing SMTP password     from = "alerts@company.com",  -- Enter your existing Source address     rcpt = {             "user1@company.com",  -- First recipient             "user2@company.com",  -- Second recipient             "user3@company.com"  -- Third recipient             },     source = smtp.message( {     headers = {     from = "alerts@company.com",  -- Displayed source address     to = "technicians@company.com",  -- Displayed recipients     subject = "Temperature Alert"  -- E-mail title                 },     body = "Current temperature is: " .. temperature .. " (above " .. limit .. ")" .. " [" .. os.date() .. "]"}),     server = "server.com" – enter your SMTP server                 }     if result ~= 1 then         print(os.date(), "E-mail was NOT sent:", reason)     else         print(os.date(), "E-mail was successfully sent.")     end end     else     sent = nil -- Re-enable alerting on condition end   --[[ Disclaimer: We hope that this script example and associated information (the "information") is valuable to you.

Issue Under rare circumstances, resetting your Manager to its factory defaults may be necessary.  For example, if you have forgotten your Manager's IP address, or if you are experiencing login problems.  Environment SmartStruxure Lite Web Browser SmartStruxure Lite MPM Cause All SmartStruxure Lite™ Managers are equipped with a bootloader, accessible via a special IP address that lets you access several Manager firmware functions, among them, a factory reset.  Resolution WARNING: Restoring your Manager to factory settings should only be performed as a last resort; doing so will erase all its objects and devices, requiring you to reconfigure your Manager from scratch. Accessing the Bootloader As its name suggests, you access the bootloader at boot time, i.e., when you power up your Manager. To perform a factory reset: 1. Disconnect electrical power from your Manager by unplugging its power connector or unplugging its power supply from the AC outlet. 2. Ensure that your computer's TCP/IP settings are on the same subnet as the bootloader IP address:10.50.80.X.     IMPORTANT: Upon restarting your Manager, you will have only a brief interval–approximately 5 seconds–during which you will be able to access the bootloader. As such, we recommend that you perform the following steps 3.  Open your browser and type the following IP address into the address bar, but do not click the browser's Go icon or press any  key on your keyboard: 10.50.80.2 4. Reconnect your Manager's electrical power. 5. Within approximately 5 seconds, click your browser's Go icon or press the key to navigate to the  bootloader's IP address.  The bootloader screen displays.    6. In the Restore factory defaults area, click Submit. The Manager begins restoring its settings to the factory defaults. When completed, a success message displays.  7. Restart your Manager by clicking the Submit button in the Restart system area. 8. You may now log in to the Manager using its restored IP address: 10.50.80.3. If you cannot connect successfully to the bootloader using the above steps, chances are you are not navigating to the bootloader's URL within the defined 5-second window.       As an aid, some users may find it useful to do the following:      Open a command window and type the following: ping 10.50.80.2     As soon as you see a ping reply, return to your browser window and press the key to navigate to the address previously entered into the address bar.   Restoring your Manager to Factory Settings download as PDF.

Issue Which frequency is used by the Zigbee wireless communication protocol used in the SmartStruxure Lite? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment SmartStruxure Lite SE7000 Zigbee Cause 2 different versions of Zigbee (W and P) are used, depending on generation of product. Resolution   W and P are using the same layer IEEE 802.15.4 at 2.4 GHz frequency, only the "language" is different. (they can't talk to each other) For more information and details on the different Zigbee protocols, please see: Zigbee on Wikipedia Zigbee Alliance
