Remove Unknown Embedded Demo License

Issue How to remove an unknown Embedded Demo License Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Premium (AS-P) Device Administrator v4.0.5 (EBO 2022) and below Cause The Embedded Demo Licenses are handled from the Device Administrator software. However, if the installed Embedded Demo License in the SpaceLogic servers does not comply with the file in the Device Administrator, the installed Demo License could not be removed. Resolution Instructions shown in the video below are for EBO 2022 (v4.0.5) and below. In the later releases EBO 2023 (v5.x) and above, a feature now allows the Demo licenses to be returned from selected servers.  See WebHelp topic Returning All Demo Licenses from the Selected SpaceLogic Automation Servers  For any License activations/returns to occur, there must be a trusted state (Certificate State) between the server and Device Administrator. Ensure that this is in place before attempting either resolution. For more info, see Certificates Managed using Device Administrator   If this function does not work, you can attempt the manual file name manipulation described below.    To check the name of the installed Embedded Demo License, log in to the SpaceLogic servers from Workstation. Navigate to System, LicenseManager, LicensingMetadata, ClientMetadata, Product 0. In ProductID, you will see the filename of the actual file.   Rename a Demo license file and import it into Device Manager to uncheck the selected Demo License file.   At the end of this session, you will be able to: Remove Unknown Demo License in SpaceLogic servers

SpaceLogic Sensor SXWS HMI references

Issue A large room has multiple SpaceLogic Sensors SXWS (formerly SmartX sensor) and the temperature setpoint is changed in one of them. Is it possible for the temperature setpoint to be changed in the other sensors?  Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation SpaceLogic Sensor Building Operation Room Controller (RPC) Building Operation RP-V VAV Cause In EBO (EcoStruxure Building Operation) version 3.1 a functionality called HMI references is introduced which can be used in this case. This new functionality makes it possible to have bi-directional bindings for the following value types in the RP series controller Blind position: analog value Occupancy override: digital value Fan speed: multistate value HVAC mode: multistate value Light level: analog value Selected scene: analog value Blind slat angle: analog value Temperature setpoint: analog value Resolution This is done by creating a value of the value types supporting the HMI reference functionality in the Application folder of the RP IP controller which the SpaceLogic Sensors are connected to. Then bind that value to the Display properties of each SpaceLogic Sensor       For example an Analog value is created in the Application folder of the RP-C and then bound to the Display Temperature Setpoint property of each connected SpaceLogic sensor. If then changing the Temperature setpoint from the RP-C that will be distributed to all SpaceLogic Sensors. But also if changing the Temperature setpoint in any of the SpaceLogic Sensors that value will be distributed to the other SpaceLogic Sensors and the RP-C.   To see an example on how this can be done please see video:

Vista workstation and Vista server on different sides of a firewall

Issue A Vista workstation remote need to go thru a firewall when connecting to the Vista server will this work? Product Line TAC Vista Environment Vista Workstation Cause Workstation is using DCOM to communicate with the Vista server, DCOM is using port 135 initially but then a random port is used. Workstation will contact the server on port 135 but then the server will respond on a random port. This makes it very hard to use workstation through firewalls (it is difficult to open a port when that port number is not known). .   Resolution It is possible to via registry settings limit DCOM to use a range of 100 ports. But usually it is hard to get the IT department to open 100 ports. The way that people usually go through firewalls is using a extra Vista server which is communicating via TCP on port 45612 through the firewall and then connect the workstation to this Vista server, if the server is empty it doesn't cost a extra license.

Understanding Hosted Backup Options in EcoStruxure Access Expert V3

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. Issue An explanation of Hosted backup options is needed to understand which objects are backed up and which are not. Product Line EcoStruxure Access Expert Environment Access Expert Hosted V3 Cause It's important to understand the backup options available for an instance. Resolution By default, each instance includes a one-year transactional history retention, giving one year of Event History backup. Additional event history retention time can be purchased if required, and such purchases will be visible under "Manage License." Example: Note: There are currently no configuration specific backups that are retained or that can be restored to reinstate deleted hardware or objects into an instance.    Recommendations: Exercise caution when deleting objects, especially controllers, from Access Expert. A prompt requests confirmation before deletion. Generate snapshots of controller configurations and other detailed objects. These snapshots serve as references in case of accidental object deletion, assisting the reconstruction of controllers or other objects with their original configurations. Summary reports can also be useful when trying to rebuild objects. For example: Inputs, Outputs, Readers, etc.

Menta public constants can only be used once

Issue If a constant is set to public (meaning it can be edited by the user from the front end) then it can only be used once in a Menta application. Options > Constants Table will show you which constants are set to public. Any attempt to use them more than once will result in the following error: Tam32 Public constant used more than once: Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation Cause Typically a public constant is being used because the simplicity of a simple block is desired. A delay block may be used on three different fan commands and the user desires all of them to have the same delay attribute. Resolution To use one value for multiple simple blocks, the functionality of those simple blocks will have to be recreated using other Menta blocks until a single PVR can be sent to multiple HFBs. For example, instead of a delay block, some configuration of trigger and pulse blocks could delay the output and a PVR could be used to set the length of the delay. Note: Non-public constants can be used multiple times in simple block parameters and expressions. For example, "pi" could be defined as 3.1415926535 and used in multiple equations. It's just public constants that cannot.

Example: Users with over 8 GB of memory can't start more than 36 servers.  Resolution This is because the default memory is set to 8GB, approximately 36 servers. (8GB - 2GB)/.170 GB = 36 server. Open the Hyper-V Manager In the left panel, right-click on "pct" and select Settings. The Setting dialog box opens. In the left pane, under Hardware, select the Memory item. The memory settings open in the right panel. The RAM shows 8192 MB(8 GB * 1024 = 8192 MB), the "Enable Dynamic Memory box" is checked, the Minimum RAM is 8192 MB and the Maximum RAM is 262144 MB(256GB *1024 = 262144 MB).    Enter the amount of memory assigned to PCT, 10240 MB(10 GB) in the example. If the "Enable Dynamic Memory" box is unchecked, the memory assigned to PCT will be 10240 MB. If the "Enable Dynamic Memory" box is checked, the memory assigned to PCT will be between 8 GB and 10 GB(not 256 GB or other amount because the limitation is set at 10 GB from the RAM setting above). R&D recommends not using "Enable Dynamic Memory".   Helpful Link: PCT 2.0 memory usage calculation

Resolving solid red status LED in the SmartX SpaceLogic/EasyLogic devices

Warning Electrostatic Discharge Required: Always discharge static electricity from your person by touching metal prior to handling any hardware. Failure to do so may result in damage to devices. Issue SmartX SpaceLogic/EasyLogic device is offline, inspection of the device's status LED reveals a solid red pattern instead of the normal solid green.   Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment SmartX SpaceLogic Controller SmartX EasyLogic Controller Cause A solid red status LED indicates the application can't be launched, typically there could be two reasons as the root cause of this situation: The application has become corrupted, this happens very rarely. Application keeps crashing on startup. To prevent an infinite startup->crash->startup loop, the firmware in the SmartX SpaceLogic/EasyLogic devices implement a feature known as the application startup retry counter, if the application has crashed multiple times, never running for longer than an internally defined time (typically 10 minutes), the boot applet will stop all attempts to launch the application. Resolution We can attempt to recover the device by performing the following steps: Cycle power to the device. Cold start the device by holding down the reset button for more than 5 seconds but less than 9 If the controller starts up and shows a normal status LED (solid green), immediately start  a device upgrade firmware operation, the goal is to get the uprev operation going before the application crashes again.

"Server name not unique" is received when trying to attach child server

Issue When attempting to attach an Enterprise Server to a parent Enterprise Central, the error "Server name not unique" is encountered, despite the Enterprise Server having a unique name. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Edge Server - Standard Cause The error may arise due to either the server's name not being unique or one of its child servers' names not being unique. Resolution To resolve this issue, ensure that the server's name is indeed unique, and also verify that the names of the its child servers are also unique. For example, if an Enterprise server "ES1" has a child Edge server named "Edge_1" attached to Enterprise Central "EC", and another Enterprise server "ES2" also has a child Edge server named "Edge_1", it cannot be attached to "EC" until the child Edge Server is renamed to ensure uniqueness.

SUM Alarm used to monitor the status of the system Automation Servers

Issue The SUM Alarm does not generate an alarm when an Automation Server goes offline Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Edge Server - Standard Cause The online status of the Automation Servers needs to be monitored so that an alarm can be generated if any of them go offline. Using the following configuration does not work. 1. Create a sum alarm 2. Add Source and set to AS path (e.g /SWXnetwork/servers/AS1). Replacing AS1 with a * makes no difference 3. Add System alarm ID and set to "Server Offline" 4. Add Alarm State and set to "Selection as required" Resolution Options that do work Option 1 System Alarm ID = Server offline Alarm Text = */Servers/* Alarm State = Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge - (Select as required). Option 2 System Alarm ID = Server offline Alarm State = Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge - (Select as required). Source Name = AS1 or AS*   Option 3 System Alarm ID = Server offline Alarm State = Alarm and Alarm Acknowledge - (Select as required). Source = /SWXnetwork/System/Server Communication/To/AS* - (As the alarm is in the ES, the path comes from the ES).
