Remote Control Software

Issue Not all features are seen when a BMS platform is viewed using remote control software e.g. RealVNC Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell BAS & Sigma, Satchwell MicroNet, TAC IA Series, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Remote Tools: RealVNC, TeamViewer, LogMeIn, UltraVNC, etc. Cause Remote control software may not fully render graphical elements or interactive UI components of BMS applications. This is often due to: Graphics acceleration limitations UI rendering differences between local and remote sessions Security or permission restrictions in remote sessions Example: When using RealVNC to access the SmartStruxure License Administrator, the dropdown menu for adding license details may not appear, even though it functions correctly in a local session. Resolution Local Verification: Run the BMS application directly on the host machine to confirm full functionality. Remote Software Settings: Enable full desktop rendering or mirror driver (if available). Disable any performance optimizations that reduce UI fidelity. Alternative Access Methods: Use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) instead of third-party remote tools. Consider web-based access if supported by the BMS platform. Additional Notes These issues are not specific to one remote control tool; they may occur across various platforms.

Using One Common Transformer to Power Full-Wave and Half-Wave Devices

Issue Can a single transformer be used to power both full-wave and half-wave devices, such as an AS-P controller and a DuraDrive actuator? Product Line Field Devices, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Andover Continuum, Satchwell MicroNet, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Full-wave and half-wave devices Cause There may be a need to simplify power distribution by using a single transformer for multiple device types. Understanding Rectifier Types Full-Wave Rectifiers Function: Converts both halves of the AC waveform into DC. Components: Uses four diodes in a bridge configuration. Efficiency: More efficient than half-wave rectifiers, providing a smoother DC output with less ripple. Half-Wave Rectifiers Function: Converts only one half of the AC waveform into DC. Components: Uses a single diode. Efficiency: Less efficient, resulting in higher ripple in the output voltage. Resolution Yes, a common transformer can be used to power both full-wave and half-wave devices provided the following conditions are met: External Isolation Transformers Non-isolated, connected devices of varying rectifier types require their own external isolation transformers. Use external isolation transformers for each device if there is doubt regarding whether an installation may cause equipment damage Transformer Sizing: Ensure the transformer’s VA rating exceeds the combined power requirements of all connected devices. Undersized transformers can lead to voltage drops, overheating, or device malfunction. Installation Guidelines: Before installation, refer to the document titled “Guidelines for Powering Multiple Actuators From a Common Transformer - Integration Guide.” Isolation & Compatibility: Confirm that devices do not interfere with each other’s operation when sharing a transformer. Avoid connecting devices with incompatible grounding or isolation requirements.

How to Transfer an XBuilder Project to a Different Type of Xenta Server

Issue Prior to XBuilder 5.1.1, it was not possible to change the Xenta Server type in an existing XBuilder project. This limitation made it difficult to migrate projects between different Xenta Server models without losing links, bindings, or configurations. Product Line Satchwell BAS & Sigma, Satchwell MicroNet, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Xenta Server XBuilder 5.1.0 or earlier Xenta 511, 527, 555, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913 Cause Earlier versions of XBuilder (prior to 5.1.1) did not support changing the Xenta Server type directly within the project’s network pane. This limitation required a manual workaround to migrate projects between different server types. Resolution Option 1: Upgrade to XBuilder 5.1.1 or Later If possible, upgrade to XBuilder 5.1.1 or newer, which allows direct modification of the target device type: Save the Project Locally: If the project is stored in a Vista database, open it in XBuilder. Go to File > Save As and save the project to your local machine. Reopen the Project: Close XBuilder. Reopen XBuilder and load the saved project from your PC. Change Target Device: In the Project menu, select Change Target Type... Choose the desired Xenta Server model from the drop-down list. Option 2: Manual Transfer (If Upgrade Is Not Possible) This method allows transferring an XBuilder project to a different Xenta Server while preserving graphics and object bindings. Ensure the target server supports the same or better Menta and User Graphic capabilities and can handle the existing network types. Example: Migrating from Xenta 555 (with LonWorks and Modbus networks) to Xenta 731. Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Create the New Xenta Server in Vista Open the Vista database containing the Xenta 555 project. Right-click the Xenta 555, select Edit to open the XBuilder project. In Vista, create a new Xenta 731 (name it similarly but not identically to the 555). 2. Transfer the LonWorks Network In Vista, drag and drop the LON network from the 555 to the 731. Right-click the 731, select Edit to open its XBuilder project. Rename the default folder in the System pane to match the top-level folder of the 555 project. In the 731 project, right-click the LON object in the Network pane and select Refresh Network from TAC Vista. 3. Transfer the Modbus Network In the 555 project: Right-click each Modbus device, select Edit Device Template. In the Device Editor, go to File > Save As... and save the template. In the 731 project: Recreate the Modbus network using the saved templates. 4. Transfer System Objects In the 555 project: Right-click each object under the top-level folder and select Copy. In the 731 project: Right-click the top-level folder and select Paste. Repeat for all objects and folders (note: selecting a folder includes all nested items). Do not copy the top-level folder itself; it cannot be pasted. Note: Graphics bindings are preserved. Reference paths are automatically updated (e.g., TAC_Xenta_555 becomes TAC_Xenta_731 ). However, some bindings (e.g., Time objects) may break and need to be manually rebound. 5. Final Steps Close the 555 project. In Vista, delete the Xenta 555. Generate the 731 project. When prompted to copy original TGML files, select Yes. Download the project to the Xenta 731. Tip: If the 555 project only contains a Modbus network, a similar process can be followed for standalone projects. Additional Notes Ensure compatibility between source and target servers regarding network types and resource capabilities. Always back up your projects before performing any migration.

Issue How to estimate the thermal load (in BTU/hr or Watts) that your controllers and equipment will produce. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, Satchwell BAS & Sigma, Satchwell MicroNet, TAC IA Series, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Applicable to all electrical equipment used in building automation systems. Cause Understanding the thermal load is essential for: Sizing air conditioning systems Ensuring proper ventilation Avoiding overheating in enclosures Not all equipment datasheets provide thermal dissipation values, so manual calculation may be necessary. Resolution You can estimate the thermal load using the power consumption of each device. Formula To convert power (in Watts) to thermal load: BTU/hr = Power (W) × 3.412141633 Watts = Power (W) (already known) Note: 1 Watt = 3.412141633 BTU/hr Example Calculation Using the Continuum AC-1 I/O module: Power consumption: 2.6 W (without attached reader) Thermal load: BTU/hr = 2.6 × 3.412141633 = 8.87 BTU/hr Watts = 2.6 W If the reader is powered by the AC-1, include its power consumption in the total. International Units Reference Unit Conversion 1 Watt 3.412 BTU/hr 1 BTU/hr 0.293 Watts Additional Notes Use this method for any device where power consumption is known. For grouped equipment, sum the total wattage before converting. Consider using an online calculator for quick conversions.

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.

BMS Redundancy TVDA

Issue How to be redundant with your intelligent Building Management System (iBMS) Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, Satchwell Sigma, Security Expert, TAC INET Environment Existing intelligent Building Management System Open Mind High Availability Solutions (Deprecated by manufacturer) everRun MX ztC Edge Cause In engineering, redundancy is the duplication of critical components of a system with the intention of increasing the system's reliability. To be redundant with an intelligent Building Management System (iBMS) would take on two possibilities. Have an alarm on critical points alerting personnel who move into action quickly replacing control boards or devices in the event of failure. Have secondary backup controllers which upon failure, which are used to control devices resuming functionality. This is accomplished through programming the BAS with event sequences triggered from alarms or flags noting the failure. Redundancy capabilities and feasibility are site specific. Ascertaining failure in boards, points, or devices is crucial to creating secondary measures to keep seamless processes going and resume with functions.   Error detection and correction with maintenance is often the best practice for preventing failure. Worn components are the leading cause of failure, followed by a lack of planning and consideration in the protection of electrical components through power surges or failures.   For the database, backups including automated backups for MSDE, SQL Express, and Full SQL are available. For further information on database backups and options, take a look at Microsoft SQL Management Studio. For Host Computer backups, look at adding a secondary computer which replicates the database and can capture transactions and messages should a failure with the primary host computer take place. Also work with the local IT department to keep machines up to date, safe, and clean of 3rd party applications which may interfere with integrity. Schneider Electric’s building management systems are designed such that building control continues even when controller to server communication is disrupted. The BMS server is home to a database of alarm and historical data, as well as system parameters and programs. When a server or its network connection fails, the collection of data from building controllers halts until the problem is resolved. For data critical applications, this solution provides an environment capable of preventing the data loss that results from these types of failures.  Although we do support its use with EcoStruxure Building Operation, Security Expert, Continuum, I/NET, Vista, Sigma, and I/A Series as a disaster recovery solution, we do not provide direct support for EverRun.

I/NET Software Part Numbers and License Rules

Issue Need to confirm the correct part number to upgrade I/NET Do I need to pay for the I/NET software to upgrade the site? When can I use a SEAT license? What are the rules / definitions for using SEAT / SITE Licenses with I/NET? Product Line TAC INET Environment I/NET Software I/NET 2000 I/NET Seven to 2.4x Cause Confusion with part numbers and license restrictions within I/NET software offering.  Resolution  Ordering information is usually contained within each of I/NET's Product Announcements. These are found on The Exchange Download Center as well as on Software and Firmware compatibility matrix for older versions of the traditional product lines. When upgrading from a “minor” revision, upgrades from v2.40 are free. All you need is the new version of v2.4x software which can be downloaded at no charge from the Buildings Business Extranet website. To download TAC I/NET Seven software, refer to Downloads and Schneider Electric software, tools, documents, and tips. Upgrades from pre-2.4x versions (i.e. v2.3x and below) are paid upgrades. Standard upgrade prices are the same whether upgrading from I/NET Seven v2.31 or I/NET 2000. When upgrading, all host PCs must be upgraded to the same version.  Upgrade / New Ordering part number information can be found in How many software versions of I/NET Seven are there? For information that needs to be provided during the ordering process or if you have an issue with the Site License key refer to License or CD Key Issues. I/NET Seven Software Definitions Site Licenses SEVENHVAC SEVENMAX SEVENSEC Definition of a SITE: “A building or collection of buildings at single or multiple locations owned and operated by ONE end user, upon which I/NET is installed.” Seat License: SEVENSEAT Definition of a SEAT “A license for an additional PC at a SITE as defined above, irrespective of configuration i.e. Remote Client, Filemaster, Equalized Client etc.”
