Inactivation of Remote Alarm Manager Alarm Message

Issue Recipients receive a message from the Remote Alarm Manager (RAM) indicating that an alarm has been inactivated, even though no manual action was taken to clear the alarm. Product Line Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Remote Alarm Manager version 1.2 Cause The Remote Alarm Manager is designed to automatically send an inactivation message after a fixed period if an alarm remains active but is not retransmitted. By default, this period is three days, and the message is sent at midnight to the on-call recipient. This behavior is part of the system’s design to prevent stale alarms from remaining indefinitely without notification. Resolution This is expected behavior and not a fault. To manage or modify this behavior: Understand the default configuration: RAM sends inactivation messages after 3 days of no retransmission. This helps ensure recipients are aware that the alarm is no longer considered active. Adjust the inactivation timer if needed: The default 3-day period can be changed in the RAM configuration settings. Consult the Remote Alarm Manager documentation or configuration interface to modify this value. Review alarm retransmission settings: Ensure alarms are configured to retransmit if they remain active and require ongoing attention.

Using Remote Alarm Manager (RAM) to Monitor Multiple Input Interfaces from One RAM Engine

Issue How to configure a single RAM engine to monitor and manage alarms from multiple building automation systems across a site. Product Line Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Remote Alarm Manager Cause Some sites operate multiple BMS platforms concurrently. Rather than deploying separate RAM engines for each system, a centralized approach using one RAM engine can streamline alarm management and reduce system complexity. Resolution To configure RAM to monitor multiple systems from a single engine: Install RAM on the Master System Choose a primary system (e.g., Sigma) to host the RAM engine. Follow the installation and configuration steps outlined in the RAM Engineering Guide. Configure Alarm Actions Set up alarm actions on the master system (e.g., Sigma) to handle events from remote systems. Integrate Remote Systems Connect additional systems (e.g., BAS2800+, Micronet, Vista) to the master RAM engine. Ensure communication paths and alarm routing are correctly configured. Test and Validate Confirm that alarms from all connected systems are received and processed by the master RAM engine. Monitor for any communication or processing issues.

How to Configure a Meter Reading Greater Than 10,000 in MicroNet Systems

Issue MicroNet controller objects have a maximum allowable value of 10,000, which is insufficient for some energy meter readings that exceed this limit. Product Line Satchwell MicroNet Environment Satchwell MicroNet Cause MicroNet controller objects are limited to a maximum value of 10,000. When meter readings exceed this threshold, the controller cannot represent the full value using a single object. Resolution To represent meter readings above 10,000, implement a rollover counting mechanism using two counter objects and Menta logic: Create Two Counter Objects in VisiSat Counter 1: Handles the 0–999 part of the meter count. Counter 2: Increments by 1 every time Counter 1 rolls over (i.e., reaches 1000). Link the Rollover Pulse Output of Counter 1 to the Count Input of Counter 2. Diagram: Configure Menta Logic in Xenta 731 Use a Menta block to calculate the total meter reading: This allows representation of values up to 9,999,999. Display the Result The calculated total can be displayed on value pages, graphics, or used in further logic. Downloadable Examples VisiSat Project Xbuilder Project Vista Database All Files Bundle

Sigma – IC-SNP / IC3-SNP SubLAN / IAC LAN Controller Fault Finding

Issue Fault Finding on an IC-SNP / IC3-SNP and associated IAC controllers. Product Line Satchwell BAS & Sigma Environment IC-SNP IC3-SNP IAC controllers Cause Communication faults on the SubLAN may be caused by: Cause Description Incorrect LAN Termination Missing or improperly placed 120-ohm resistors can cause signal reflections and data corruption. Biasing Misconfiguration Bias jumper not set to “D” (Full Biasing) can result in unstable idle voltage levels. Faulty Controller Driver A single IAC controller with a failed RS-485 driver can hold the RX line low, blocking communication. Corrupted gateway.txt Entries Invalid or misconfigured entries can prevent the IC-SNP from initializing communication properly. Physical Layer Issues Damaged cables, poor connections, or incorrect wiring can interrupt signal transmission. Power Supply Problems Inadequate or unstable power to controllers can cause intermittent or complete communication loss. IC-SNP Hardware Failure Internal faults in the IC-SNP or IC3-SNP can prevent proper LAN operation. Excessive LAN Length or Load Too many devices or long cable runs without repeaters can degrade signal quality. Environmental Interference Electrical noise from nearby equipment can disrupt RS-485 signals. Resolution 1. Use of Alarm Manager Access via Sigma default/backup server. Review system messages (priorities 22–30) for controller-specific errors. Look for messages like “Unable to Communicate with Controller ???”. 2. Troubleshooting gateway.txt File Symptoms: “Unable to open gateway.txt file” error. Steps: Start with a minimal gateway.txt (1–2 entries). Use a known-good version from Exchange-On-Line. If errors persist: Remove all entries except one. Download and warm-start the controller. Gradually reintroduce entries to isolate the faulty line. 3. Controller Not Responding Single Controller: Check local communication using Visisat and LIB-4-485. Verify LAN wiring and power supply. Multiple Controllers: Indicates partial or full SubLAN failure. Begin investigation at the IC-SNP. 4. IC-SNP Hardware Checks Component Expected Behavior Bias Jumper Set to D (Full Biasing) Termination 120-ohm resistors at both ends Channel 2 TX LED Flashes after warm-start (gateway.txt processing) Channel 2 RX LED Flashes if receiving replies RX LED Permanently On: Indicates a faulty IAC controller driver disrupting LAN comms. 5. IC-SNP Retry Mechanism Retries each controller 3 times before marking offline. Sends error to Alarm Manager. Retries offline controllers every 30 minutes (on the hour and half-hour). 6. Binary Chop Method for LAN Isolation Purpose: Efficiently isolate faulty segments or controllers. Steps: Identify LAN midpoint. Disconnect twisted pair at nearest controller. Observe RX LED behavior: LED Off: Fault lies beyond midpoint. LED On: Fault lies before midpoint. Repeat by halving LAN again (25% or 75%) until fault is found. 7. Voltage Testing Guidelines Use a DC voltmeter to measure: Measurement Expected Voltage +ve to 0V ~2.5 V –ve to 0V ~0.15 V +ve to –ve ~2.31 V Note: Negative voltages suggest LAN faults. Compare readings across segments to identify anomalies. 8. RX LED Not Flashing at All Possible Causes: Faulty IC-SNP Faulty SubLAN Faulty Controllers Steps: Disconnect LAN after first controller. Warm-start IC-SNP. Observe RX LED: If flashing resumes, use binary chop to isolate fault. If not, test cable and controller individually. 9. Cable Testing Procedure Disconnect both ends and separate cores. Measure resistance: Between cores: ∞ Each core to earth: ∞ Short cores at one end. Measure resistance at other end: Between cores: ~0 Ω Each core to earth: ∞ 10. Controller Testing Use LIB-4-485 and Visisat Engineering software. Confirm controller responds to direct communication. Final Steps: Once faults are resolved: Download full gateway.txt. Warm-start IC-SNP. Monitor Alarm Manager for new errors.

GSM Modem Error in Remote Alarm Manager (RAM)

Issue When Remote Alarm Manager (RAM) attempts to initialize the GSM modem, it fails during the reset command. However, the modem responds correctly when the same commands are sent via a terminal emulation program. Product Line Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell BAS & Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Remote Alarm Manager (RAM) GSM Modem Cause The GSM modem returns result codes in a format that is not compatible with RAM’s GSM driver. RAM expects numeric result codes, but the modem may be configured to return verbose or generic error messages. Resolution To ensure compatibility, configure the modem to return numeric error codes using the AT+CMEE command. Steps to Configure the Modem: Connect to the GSM modem using a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal or PuTTY). Check current error format: AT+CMEE? Returns the current setting (0, 1, or 2). Set error format to numeric: AT+CMEE=1 Save the setting to non-volatile memory: AT&W Disconnect the terminal program and retest with Remote Alarm Manager. AT+CMEE Format Options: Value Description 0 Disable result codes; returns ERROR 1 Enable numeric result codes 2 Enable verbose (text) result codes

IAC Touch Screens Reset to Default Address on Sundays

Issue IAC touch screens unexpectedly reset to their default address (65) every Sunday when time broadcast is enabled. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell MicroNet Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Automation Server MicroNet transition IAC touch screen Cause When the AS or ES broadcasts time to MicroNet devices, the day number is incorrectly sent as 0 on Sundays instead of 7. The IAC touch screen does not recognize day 0, which triggers a reset to factory defaults, including its network address. Impact: The touch screen resets to address 65. If the original address was not 65, communication with controllers on the SubLAN fails. Manual reconfiguration is required to restore connectivity. Resolution The issue is resolved in SBO version 1.8 and later. ⚠️ Important Notice Satchwell MicroNet is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting MicroNet devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Servers with MicroNet devices on Building Operation 3.2. Upgrade the rest of the system to Building Operation 2022 or later. You will not be able to upgrade EcoStruxure Building Operation servers that contain unsupported protocols, objects, or devices. Attempting to do so will result in failed upgrades or loss of functionality.

Issue After upgrading a site containing MicroNet or IAC controllers from SmartStruxure (SBO) to EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO), Time and Holiday Schedules no longer display the expected time periods. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation (from v2.0.1) Building Operation WebStation (from v2.0.1) Building Operation Enterprise server (from version 2.0.1) Building Operation Automation Server (AS Classic from v2.0.1 to v3.1 and AS-P from v2.0.1) Cause Starting with EBO v2.0.1, support for MicroNet Time and Holiday schedules in WebStation was introduced. This enhancement replaced the legacy SBO schedule objects with TGML-based graphics for both WorkStation and WebStation. As a result, existing schedule objects are no longer automatically visible post-upgrade unless the new TGML graphics are generated. ⚠️ Important Notice Satchwell MicroNet is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting MicroNet devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Servers with MicroNet devices on Building Operation 3.2. Upgrade the rest of the system to Building Operation 2022 or later. You will not be able to upgrade EcoStruxure Building Operation servers that contain unsupported protocols, objects, or devices. Attempting to do so will result in failed upgrades or loss of functionality. Resolution To restore visibility and functionality of MicroNet and IAC schedules: Run the Data Importer on each MicroNet interface. This process generates new TGML schedule objects for all existing MicroNet and IAC Time and Holiday schedules. Verify the Import: After running the Data Importer, confirm that the TGML graphics are created. The trace log will be saved to: C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure\Building Operation n.n\DataImport\Trace.DataImport.MicroNet Interface.txt Look for entries such as: Source: C:\Satchwell\Projects Processing XML... Committing to server... Creating object editor graphics (3) ... Object editor graphics created Post-Import: The new TGML graphics will be visible in both WorkStation and WebStation. These graphics represent the updated schedule objects and allow continued use of Time and Holiday scheduling. Additional Notes Refer to the EBO 2.0.1 Release Notes for more details on TGML schedule support. Ensure backups are taken before performing the Data Import. If schedules still do not appear, verify that the MicroNet interface is correctly configured and reachable.

VisiSat 2.1 Build 185/196 – “CustomiseUI” Add-on Not Found in Visio

Issue Users running VisiSat 2.1 Build 185 or 196 on Windows XP Pro with Visio 2003 may encounter the following error: Internal Error 0x86DB08A9 VisiSat “CustomiseUI” add-on not found or not registered in Visio. Environment VisiSat 2.1 Build 185 / 196 Visio 2003 Windows XP Professional Cause Visio 2003 may fail to recognize or register the CustomiseUI component during VisiSat installation. This is typically due to: Missing or corrupted installation files. Residual file path entries in Visio that interfere with VisiSat integration. Resolution To resolve the issue, follow these steps: Open Visio 2003 (not VisiSat). Navigate to: Tools → Options → Advanced tab → File Paths . Delete all entries in the File Paths dialog. Click OK to confirm and close all dialogs. Close Visio 2003. Launch VisiSat. ✅ VisiSat should now start correctly. 🔁 If you reopen Visio 2003, the file paths should reappear, confirming successful integration. Additional Recommendations If you're running Windows XP + Visio 2003, consider using VisiSat 2.1 Build 148, which has broader compatibility. For Windows 7 users, upgrading to Visio 2007 or 2010 may improve stability and compatibility with newer VisiSat builds. 📥 Download VisiSat 2.1 Build 148 (42 MB) Note: You’ll need your original VisiSat registration form (v2.0/2.1) to unlock this version.
