Issue Firewall issues when trying to reach out to the activation server for a license Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Building Operation Licensing Firewall Cause If the corporate network has a very restricted firewall policy or rules, the port needed to reach and activate a license may be blocked. Note: The same license server is used for EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma and TAC Vista software licenses. Resolution Open Port 443 (HTTPS) for the server hosting the license server, and ensure that the routing paths to the Flexnet Licensing server URL's are all fully open. The Licensing Server URL should be opened from the site, and it is: https://schneider-electric.flexnetoperations.com If the site of the old server has issues with the non secure communications or the communications forwarding between the previous and the new server, there is a tool available to configure EBO to only use the new server. See the Exchange Community article for the download: SBO License Setup Note: From EBO V2.0 only the new license server is used, port 80 is no longer required and HTTP is redirected to HTTPS.

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 Removing software from a PC may leave behind unused / old registry entries and folders from the removed software, this in some cases may prevent software re-installation Product Line Andover Continuum,EcoStruxure Building Operation,Satchwell BAS & Sigma,Satchwell MicroNet,TAC INET,TAC Vista Environment All supported Operating Systems Cause This is due to the windows uninstall program not fully removing all elements for the software. Some of this is due to windows thinking the the software may have been removed unintentionally and therefor all the previous settings will still be saved in case of  re-installation. For example, when SQL is uninstalled the program folders that contain the database will remain intact. This may be an issue if, for example, the software is removed due to a problem with the original installation. This is when a complete removal off all components and registry entries may be needed. Resolution The best solution for removing all the unused registry entries is to use a program designed to remove obsolete registry entries and temporary files. Some examples of these are: CCleaner, which will allow you to clean up your PC by removing past installation components. Revo Uninstaller  which is useful for removing redundant folders / files / Registry entries.   It may be useful to use both of these programs to ensure a complete cleanup. Revo Uninstaller can be used to remove unused software and then CCleaner to get rid of all the Temp files etc.  Finally remove the relevant folders from within the windows explorer, Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Continuum Once done you should then be able to install a fresh clean copy of the application software. This solution is current in all versions of Windows including windows 10

Warning Hazard of Electric Shock: Remove all power from all devices before removing any covers or doors of the system. Disconnect power at the device and at the power source. Issue The SLO Label shows an incorrect value range for kL. Product Line Field Devices Environment SpaceLogic SLO series Lux sensor Cause The label on the SLO shows the incorrect value range for kL. Resolution SLO: The product specification sheet states the Ranges for the jumper as: - 0 to 500 lx and 0 to 20 kLx The range to 500 lx can be seen on the circuit board. The product’s label shows 0 – 4kL The manufacturer has confirmed the label is incorrect the value should be 500 lx, New labels will be used in production from August 2022.   SLR: The tense delivery situation during the pandemic, especially for electronic components, has forced the manufacturer to make technical changes to the SLR in order to stay able to continue to deliver reliably. The range has extended from 0.4 to 0.5 kLux. These changes are incorporated in the corresponding instructions, provided with the devices. New labels will show the extended range.

Issue What is Domain Name Service (DNS)? Product Line Andover Continuum,EcoStruxure Access Expert,EcoStruxure Building Expert,EcoStruxure Building Operation,EcoStruxure Security Expert,Satchwell BAS & Sigma,Satchwell MicroNet,TAC IA Series,TAC INET,TAC Vista Environment TCP/IP Networks Cause DNS is a distributed hierarchical system for resolving host names into IP address. Under DNS, there is no central database with all of the Internet host information. The information is distributed among thousands of name servers organized into a hierarchy similar to the UNIX file system. DNS has a root domain at the top of the domain hierarchy that is served by a group of name servers called the root servers. Source: TCP/IP Network Administration by Craig Hunt, O’Reilly & Associates, Inc. Resolution Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.  

Issue When using CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing) or Supernetting it is not always obvious what range of IP addresses can be used. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Device Administrator Building Commissioning Tool Cause When subnet masks with values other than 255 are used it is not always obvious what is the range of valid IP addresses allowed.  There is a need for an easy way to determine the range of valid IP addresses for the Subnet Mask being used. Resolution The IP address range can be calculated mathematically but the simplest method is to use a subnet calculator.  The website links below are both examples that will calculate the range of valid addresses for any specified subnet value.   http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html   Visit either of the websites for a CIDR / Supernet calculator, enter an IP addresses in the network along with a subnet mask and the calculator will provide the range of addresses that can be used within the subnet.   In addition to online calculators, a number of different subnet-calculator programs are available for Android, Apple and Windows Smartphones.

Issue How to calculate wet bulb temperature from a temperature sensor and humidity sensor Product Line Satchwell BAS & Sigma Environment Satchwell BAS & Sigma Cause How to calculate wet bulb temperature from a temperature sensor and humidity sensor? Resolution For an exact answer, the dew point and barometric pressure are also required. However a reasonably accurate answer can be derived from a temperature sensor and humidity sensor, as follows: In the 1st example, the pressure can either be taken as an input, or a constant can be used. the constant will normally be derived locally or the 1006mBars can be used.  Example 1. tw = t * (0.45 + 0.006 * Rh * sqr(p/1060)) Where tw = wet bulb temperature (Celsius degree) t = dry bulb temperature (Celsius degree) Rh = relative humidity (%) The BAS or Sigma programmable object would be: 10 XFlo = 0.000000 20 YFlo = 0.000000 30 XFlo = XFlo + ( SQRT ( 1006.00 / 1060.00 ) ) 40 YFlo = YFlo + ( 0.00600000 * POINT 0|50 * XFlo ) 50 YFlo = 0.450000 + YFlo 60 YFlo = POINT 0|49 * YFlo 70 RETURN VIA TEXT 101 VALUE YFlo P0|49 is the temperature sensor (Celsius degree) P0|50 is the humidity sensor 1006 mbars sample pressure which is the standard used in the formula below. This can be substituted for either a sensor or another reading. Example 2. In the range Tdry bulb = 15..40[deg C] and rh = 10...90[%] the Twet bulb[degC] can be calculated at P=1006[mbar] with max relative error ~ 6% . For lower Tdry and rh the relative error will be higher. Twet bulb= (A * Tdry) + (B * rh) + (C * Tdry^2) + (D * rh^2) + (E * Tdry * rh) + F where A=5.391260E-01 B=1.047837E-01 C=-7.493556E-04 D=-1.077432E-03 E=6.414631E-03 F=-5.151526E+00 ^2=squared The BAS or Sigma programmable object would be: 10 XFlo = 0.000000 20 XFlo = XFlo + ( 0.539126 * POINT 0|49 ) 30 XFlo = XFlo + ( 0.104784 * POINT 0|50 ) 40 XFlo = XFlo + ( - 0.000749356 * POINT 0|49 * POINT 0|49 ) 50 XFlo = XFlo + ( - 0.00107743 * POINT 0|50 * POINT 0|50 ) 60 XFlo = XFlo + ( 0.00641463 * POINT 0|49 * POINT 0|50 ) 70 XFlo = XFlo + - 5.15153 80 RETURN VIA TEXT 101 VALUE XFlo P0|49 is the temperature sensor (Celsius degree) P0|50 is the humidity sensor
