Wet Bulb Temperature Calculation Using Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Issue How can wet bulb temperature be calculated using only a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor? Product Line Satchwell BAS & Sigma Environment Satchwell BAS & Sigma Cause Wet bulb temperature is a key parameter in HVAC and psychrometric calculations. While the most accurate method requires dew point and barometric pressure, a reasonably accurate estimate can be derived using just temperature and relative humidity. Resolution Method 1: Simplified Formula Using Assumed Pressure This method assumes a constant barometric pressure (typically 1006 mBar). Formula: tw = t * (0.45 + 0.006 * Rh * √(p / 1060)) Where: tw = Wet bulb temperature (°C) t = Dry bulb temperature (°C) Rh = Relative humidity (%) p = Pressure (mBar), typically set to 1006 Sigma/BAS Object Code: 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 P0|49 = Temperature sensor (°C) P0|50 = Humidity sensor (%) Method 2: Polynomial Approximation This method provides a more accurate estimate within the range: Dry bulb temperature: 15–40°C Relative humidity: 10–90% Pressure: 1006 mBar Max relative error: ~6% Formula: Tw = (A * T) + (B * Rh) + (C * T²) + (D * Rh²) + (E * T * Rh) + F Constants: A = 0.539126 B = 0.104784 C = -0.000749356 D = -0.00107743 E = 0.00641463 F = -5.15153 Sigma/BAS Object Code: 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 = Temperature sensor (°C) P0|50 = Humidity sensor (%) Notes For higher accuracy, consider using actual barometric pressure and dew point if available. These formulas are suitable for most building automation applications where approximate values are acceptable.

Passing Global Data Between Building Operation and Sigma Systems

Issue During a Sigma Transition in Building Operation, Sigma controllers and the Enterprise Server (ES) may reside on different subnets. In such cases, global data is not passed to or from the Sigma system. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell BAS & Sigma Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause Sigma controllers communicate global data using broadcast messages (e.g., 192.168.1.255 ). These broadcasts are typically blocked by network switches and routers, preventing communication across subnets. Sigma uses Link Addressing to overcome this limitation. However, if Link Addressing is not configured for the server subnet, the ES will not receive global broadcasts. Resolution To ensure global data is passed between the Sigma system and StruxureWare Building Operation: Assess the need for global data exchange during the Sigma Transition. If required, add a DNN3 controller to the ES subnet. Configure Link Addressing for the DNN3 to enable global data communication. 📘 For detailed steps, refer to the article: Link Addressing on a Sigma System. ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.

Sigma Transition Issues

Issue Sigma server fails when a Data Import is initiated during a Sigma transition into EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO). Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma Environment Satchwell Sigma Building Operation Enterprise Server Cause The failure typically occurs due to data integrity issues within the Sigma database. These issues must be resolved before initiating the transition. Resolution Before transitioning Sigma into EBO, run the SigmaX Doctor utility to validate and clean the database. Address the following common issues: 1. Longtext File Issues Symptoms: Contains 'Mandarin'-type characters, likely from previous BAS/Sigma upgrades. Action: Delete the longtext file located at C:\sigma\data . The file will auto-recreate if needed. 2. Shorttext File Issues Symptoms: Contains incorrectly formatted entries. Action: Use a binary search method to locate the faulty entry: Delete entries 1–250. If the issue persists, check entries 251–500. Continue halving the range until the problematic entry is found and corrected. 3. Index A Errors Types: Looping Segment: Page references itself. Multiple References: Page can be accessed via multiple routes. Action: Use SigmaX Doctor to correct the index structure. 4. Object Corruption Symptoms: Object fails to open in Sigma. Action: Open the object in Sigma and correct it using appropriate methods. If unresolved, the server will fail during Data Import. 5. Log Sets Import Failure Symptoms: Log sets fail to import. Action: Locate logset.rec in C:\sigma\data\server...folder . Make a backup copy. Delete 50% of log sets and retry the import. If it fails, delete another 50%. If it succeeds, the issue lies in the deleted portion. Use the backup to reinstate and isolate the problematic log sets. ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.

Type of Acknowledgement Set to 'No' on Sigma Interface Object Alarm

Issue After transitioning Sigma into EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO), users may notice that alarms and alarm clears do not require acknowledgment. This occurs because the Type of Acknowledgement on the Sigma Interface object alarm is set to 'No' and cannot be changed directly in EBO. Product Line Ecostruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause The issue arises due to incorrect alarm priority settings in the Sigma Alarm Manager. During the data import process into EBO, the system checks the Sigma Alarm Manager configuration. If no alarm priorities are assigned to acknowledgment groups in Sigma, the imported configuration in EBO will reflect a 'No' acknowledgment type. Resolution To enable acknowledgment of alarms and alarm clears, follow these steps in Sigma: Open Alarm Manager. Navigate to Configure > Acknowledgement Groups. Redistribute alarm priorities into appropriate acknowledgment groups based on site requirements. Once the priorities are correctly assigned: Redo the Data Import into EBO. The Type of Acknowledgement should now be set to 'Single'. Note: If the acknowledgment type is set to 'Extended' instead, refer to the related KCS article: Type of Acknowledgement Set to 'Extended' on Sigma Interface Object Alarm for further instructions. ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.

SigmaX version 7.0.9 is now available and can be used on any Sigma version that supported SigmaX version 7.0.6. 2. This information can be downloaded as a PDF file: Sigma Build Numbers 2023 3. When SigmaX 6.0.2 is installed, the build information provided by Sigma (Help > About) can be wrong (later than the actual version). This arises because SigmaX installs a file with Build 3.42.47 in the c:\sigma\bin folder. This is only a problem prior to Sigma Release 4.05 SEB. ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.

Alarm Routing Configuration to Two Servers for a Sigma - Building Operation Transition

Issue Ensuring correct alarm routing when operating both Sigma and EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) together following a transition Product Line Satchwell BAS & Sigma Environment Satchwell Sigma Building Operation Cause During a transition, alarms must be routed to both the Sigma Client and the SBO Enterprise Server (ES). Misconfiguration can lead to alarms not being received correctly. Resolution To route alarms to both systems: Add the ES Server to the Sigma Network In addition to the main Sigma Server, manually add the Enterprise Server (ES) as a Server (node). Use the actual ES server name for clarity and consistency. Example: Server 101: Sigma Server Server 102: ES Server Create a Dummy Sigma Client for the ES Manually add a dummy Sigma Client representing the ES. Assign the ES server to this client.  Verify Sigma Server Settings Ensure the Sigma Server configuration is correct and supports dual routing. Configure RouteSets Add both the Sigma Client and the dummy ES Client to the RouteSets. This enables alarms to be sent to both servers. Distribute Configuration Files Download and distribute the following files to all outstations: routeset.rec att.set ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.

Sigma Transition – Duplicated SFE Graphics in a Different Language

Issue During a Sigma transition into EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO), a duplicated set of Short Form Edit (SFE) graphics appears in a different language alongside the original graphics. Example: First Data Import: English Second Data Import: Danish This results in two sets of SFE graphics—one in English and one in Danish—linked to the same objects. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause The language setting in EBO was different during each Data Import. When the Sigma Interface is imported with a different language setting, EBO creates a new set of SFE graphics in that language. Resolution To prevent duplicated graphics in multiple languages: Before starting the Sigma Data Import: Delete the existing Sigma Interface in EBO. Set the correct language in EBO that matches the desired import language. Restart the Sigma transition process. Important Note: Deleting the Sigma Interface will remove all existing SFE graphic links from the objects. A clean set of SFE graphics will be generated during the new import, ensuring consistency in language and structure. ⚠️ Important Notice Sigma is not supported in EBO 2022 and later. To continue supporting Sigma devices, you can implement a multi-version system: Keep Enterprise Servers with Sigma devices on Building Operation 3.2. Add a Building Operation 2022 or later Enterprise Central 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.
