Issue When many trend logs are linked to the same time object for emailing via a Receiver Group, some of the trend logs may not be sent. Environment Xenta Server Xenta 511, 527, 555, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913 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 The Xenta Server cannot send more than approx. 50-60 simultaneous emails before some are lost.  The limit appears to be dependent on the size of attached trend logs and the number of addresses in the Receiver Group list. Resolution For a single email address, split the trend logs into groups of no more than 40.  Link the logs in each group to a different time object and stagger the times at which they are sent.  If the Receiver Group definition contains multiple email addresses, reduce the number of trend logs in each group accordingly.

Issue ModBMS RUD (Request for Unsolicited Data) Updates Debug Environment Satchwell ModBMS 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 ModBMS appears to periodically not update certain points from the controllers. Resolution We can turn on the debug in ModBMS to see if we can capture any information that can assist with the troubleshooting. In the ModBMS directory, find the ModBMS.cfg file and open it using Notepad. Find the entry ‘Debug’ in the General section. If Debug is not there, add it. See the example below. The default value is 0. Setting to 2 will record only changes of data in RUD updates. Setting to 4 will record ALL RUD updates. We want to set this to 4. After editing, save the file and restart ModBMS. The example above has the value set to 4 ( 4 ). Turning on the debug will add additional information to the ModBMS.txt file. When an update issue happens, send this file to Product Support for analysis. You should turn the debug off / on depending on the recommendations from Product Support.

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 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 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 Time synchronisation is often an issue on large BMS installations. A central time signal is normally required to make sure all controllers, terminals or workstations have the correct time. If there is no internet connection available then the time has to be synchronised from a central source.

Resolution Preliminary checks steps to be taken to check a Sigma database is error free prior to a transition to EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO). This video will demonstrate how to use SigmaX, but it will not resolve any errors in the database. Any database errors can have been caused by a number of different reasons and will provide a report listing the errors so that they can be corrected. This video with SigmaX is in three parts, the second SigmaX Quick Help Video will check for Duplicated Names and the third video will check for Programmable Objects with different types of RETURN statements. When launching the SigmaX application, see the Knowledge Base articles for Side by Side errors and errors regarding missing SigmaX files should they occur.

Issue SigmaX - checking for duplicated segment and object names prior to EBO transition Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment SigmaX 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 Checking for duplicated segment and object names prior to transitioning Sigma to EBO. Resolution With EBO, names cannot be duplicated within the same folder or segment, however in Sigma they could be, it was only the mnemonic that had to be different. When Data Importing into EBO, duplicated names are revised by adding a postfix to the duplicated name e.g. if there are two ‘room temperature’ then the 2nd one is revised to ‘room temperature2’ so that the Data Import can continue to proceed. In SigmaX, a report can be generated that will itemize any duplicated index or object names. Within SigmaX, these duplications can be renamed to a name of your choosing. Once, this is done, the Data Import will use the new names. This video with SigmaX is the second of three videos, the first SigmaX Quick Help Video will check for database errors primarily 'A' errors and the third video will check for Programmable Objects with different types of RETURN statements. When launching the SigmaX application, see the Knowledge Base articles for Side by Side errors and errors regarding missing SigmaX files should they occur.

Cause Sigma requires the correct release of Sigma software to be installed as well as the Sigma Transition Tool. Installing the Sigma Transition Tool onto a Sigma server machine can mask the true version of Sigma server and client installed. Resolution The release of Sigma client and server that is to be transitioned into EBO should be Sigma 4.08 (build 3.46.nnn) before the Sigma Transition Tool is installed. However installing the Sigma Transition Tool will overwrite the Sigma version in the Sigma application and in the Sigma splash window when launched.   To check the true version: 1. Go to Windows Explorer and locate the directory c:\sigma\bin. 2. Identify SigOp.exe (or other files) and hover over or right click and open 'Properties' and the tab 'Details',  3. The version number should be at least 3.46.57     If the version identified is below e.g. 3.45.nnn, then Sigma needs to be upgraded to the correct release. The Sigma Transition Tool will need to be uninstalled first, the Sigma upgraded and the Transition Tool reinstalled.   When complete, rerun the Sigma Data Import in EBO.   Note: Remote Sigma clients that are connected to the Sigma server will also need to be upgraded.

Issue How to use bit masking to decode on/off states from a Modbus analogue registers e.g. Holding or Input registers. Where each bit is required to be read individually to indicate the status of a coil. Product Line Satchwell Sigma Software Environment Sigma IC Modbus and IC3 Modbus controllers Cause Configuration technique to read 16-bit Modbus registers for on/off states. Resolution Each modbus holding or input register is 16 bits, where each bit can be on or off i.e. 0 or 1. For example the Sigma analogue input value of 901 represents the state of a number of coils where each bit indicates the on or off.  Hence, this translates to the 16-bit binary value  0000001110000101  where 1 = on and 0 = off Create a Sigma analogue input object to read the Modbus value.

Issue After a Sigma transition into EBO, alarm clears are requiring acknowledgements. In the Sigma Interface, the object alarm and hardware alarm 'Type of Acknowledgement are set to 'Extended' and cannot be changed to 'Single' Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause Alarm Clear Controls are incorrectly set in Sigma Alarm Manager. Resolution During the Data Import into EBO, the settings of the Sigma Alarm Manager is checked and the alarm clear acknowledgement type is set to a specific type. If acknowledgement on alarm clears is no longer required in EBO then it will need to be changed on the Sigma server,   To change to 'Single' so that alarms only are able to be acknowledged, in Sigma: Open the Alarm Manager and go to the menu options: Configure > Alarm Controls.   Uncheck the 'Alarm Clears Acknowledgeable' box.   Redo the Data Import, the 'Type of Acknowledgement' is now seen to be set to 'Single'. However, If it is now showing 'No', then the KB article Type of Acknowledgement set to 'No' on Sigma Interface object alarm will explain how to change this.

Issue When having issues with a specific NCI (SCPT or UCPT) in a XIF file it can be hard to understand the FILE definition in the XIF file in order to troubleshoot a given issue For information regarding NCI's that are not part of a FILE definition, refer to Understanding the NVVAL part of a XIF file Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC IA Series, TAC Vista Environment LonWorks XIF Cause The FILE definition can be somewhat cryptic - here is an example   FILE template 0 2 "1.1;" "2,23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.41.42.43.45.46,0\x80,49,2;" "1,1,0\x80,60,12;" "1,1,0\x80,52,2;" "2,0.2.3.5.6.7.8.9.10.16.17.18.19.20.21,0\x80,48,2;" "1,0,0\x80,17,31;" "1,1,0\x80,34,2;" "1,1,0\x80,23,2;" "1,1,0\xA4,169,1;" "1,1,4\x80,3,8;" "1,1,4\x80,5,17;" "1,1,3\x80,1,2;" "1,1,4\x80,4,9;" "1,1,4\xA4,13,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,14,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,15,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,16,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,17,1;" "1,1,4\x80,18,1;" "1,1,0\x80,42,2;" "1,1,0\x80,36,2;" "1,1,0\x80,193,2;" "1,1,4\x80,8,2;" "1,0,3\x80,2,2;" "1,0,0\x84,165,1;" "1,0,0\xA4,166,1;" "1,1,6\xA4,2,8;" FILE value 1 1 116 0x0B, 0xB8, 0x09, 0x1D, 0x09, 0xFB, 0x0B, 0x80, 0x08, 0x77, 0x07, 0x98, 0x06, 0x13, 0x00, 0x02, 0x23, 0x28, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x78, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x13, 0x88, 0x00, 0x00, 0x02, 0x0B, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Resolution The FILE section describes the configuration variables (or SCPT's and UCPT's) for a device. Here is an explanation of the various parts of the FILE section.

Issue Sigma graphic only updates when first opened and no regular updates occur there after or only some graphic data values update. Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment Sigma Controllers Cause A Sigma graphic update is controlled by the tolerance setting on the Sigma object and defines when the new value is transmitted from the controller to the server.  If the update does not occur, then the Tolerance value could be set to high. Resolution Reduce the tolerance value via the Sigma object editor. Download the object to the controller. Restart the graphic. Note:  Reducing the tolerance too far can lead to graphic updates dominating communications resources in the controller. For example; A temperature object can be set to 0.05 to give an update for every 0.1 degrees. A change of state programmable object should be set to 0.5 as it will returned true/false statement (equivalent to 1/0). A pressure sensor measuring Pascal’s (100's) may need the tolerance setting higher (e.g. 10) as pressure can change rapidly at higher values.  For globally changing the tolerance values for the Sigma objects, download the Sigma Tolerance Utility

Issue Communications with other Lon network devices are lost after the IC-Lon/IC3-Lon has cold-started. Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment Sigma IC-Lon Integration controllers IC3-Lon Integration controllers Cause The controller has been cold-started either manually or through the automatic process. Resolution The final part of the engineering process of the IC-Lon/IC3-Lon, is for the file named NVConfig.bin to be uploaded from the IC-Lon/IC3-Lon to the Sigma server. If this file is not uploaded, then the IC-Lon/IC3-Lon reverts to its non-bound state. The NVConfig.bin file contains information about the Lon bindings and is modified during the binding process when using LonMaker. To upload the NVConfig.bin, carry out the following: Open "System Diagnostics"  on the Sigma server. Select the correct controller number. From the "Options" menu select "Upload Files" and NVConfig.bin This file will now be uploaded and overwrite the existing file in the controller folder, and therefore when the controller next cold-starts, the correct file will be downloaded to it. For more information on the Engineering process of an IC-Lon/IC3-Lon, please click here.   The Sigma system is now out of its support period, consideration should be given to transitioning or upgrading to SpaceLogic - EcoStruxure Building Operation.
