Issue What 10k Thermistor sensors are compatible with the I/A Series MNL and MNB families of controllers? Product Line TAC IA Series, Andover Continuum Environment I/A Series LON Controllers (MNL-xxxxx) I/A Series BACnet Controllers (MNB-xxxxx) Continuum 10K T3 Sensors Cause Specification information Job spec requires a specific family of sensors.  Need to know how to compare the TC curves. Resolution Compatible sensors that have a built-in 11k shunt resistor include the TS-5711-850, TS-57011-850, TS-57031-850, and TSMN-90110-850 Series.  NOTE: These sensors are no longer available for purchase. The TW2XAXK is the replacement Any sensor that matches resistance to temperature curve for a 10K Thermistor Type G (U.S.Sensor), Type 9 (Dale/Vishay) or Type III (ACI Series AH) can be used with the I/A Series MNL and I/A Series MNB series controllers, provided that a 11k ± 0.1% 1/8 watt resistor is wired in parallel with the sensor. The input has a range of -10 to 135 °F (-23.3 to 57.2 °C) with an accuracy of ±1% of span.   This includes the Continuum 10K T3 sensors.  The table below shows that the resistance in its normal operating range is within a few ohms of the TSMN non 11K shunted sensors.  The Continuum sensor can be used with a parallel 11K ohm resistor. The full temperature / resistance table for the US Sensor 10K Thermistor R-T Curve Type G sensor can be found here.  Please note that the controller may not be able to use the full temperature range shown in the table.    

Issue Continuum NetController fails when a port scanning tool runs a network port scan on the ethernet network where the controller is connected. Some of the controller failures that have been reported to Product Support Services include controller scan locked, controller resetting, hanged, stuck in bootloader etc. In some cases the controller may be running but exhibiting very strange symptoms due to its tasks scheduling being disturbed by the scanning traffic and/or due to memory corruption. Product Line  Andover Continuum   Environment Continuum CX Gen 1 Continuum Net Controller II Continuum ACX 2 Controller Continuum ACX 4 Controller Continuum bCX4040 (BACnet) Continuum bCX4000 (Router) Continuum bCX9640 (Infinet)   Cause The legacy Continuum controller's network stack is not able to handle some of the packets generated by network scanning tools, most such tools explicitly point out that older internal systems may not be able to handle the port scanning traffic and may fail during the process.  The controller error log may show some variation of the following errors...   219 I 08/10/2024 13:14:53.35 0xbadd0018 0x00002500 0x001783f0 0x40602004 0x0017eeb4 Reset (Spurious interrupt)   4914 I 09/14/2022 09:00:54.00 0xbadd0002 0x00002600 0x02001bd4 0x48082600 0x020ffbb8 Reset (access error) Resolution The Continuum NetControllers are now legacy systems no longer in active development, therefore, the only known solution is to add  the controller's IP address to the tools white list so that no port scanning packets are directed to the controller.   It is important to note that NONE of the Continuum NetControllers listed above use Windows or Linux based OS, this makes them less vulnerable to the typical hacker attacks.    Andover Continuum is a legacy Schneider Electric product.

Issue Finding the correct procedure for migrating Infinet controllers from a Continuum controller fieldbus to an AS-P. Product Line Andover Continuum,EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Continuum Cyberstation Building Operation Automation Server Premium (1.9 onwards) Building Operation Automation Server Bundled (1.9 onwards) Cause The wrong procedure has been followed which is not the approved and tested procedure to be used when migrating Infinet controllers from Continuum to EBO.  Resolution Procedure for Converting / Transitioning the Infinet Bus Prior to migrating the Infinet The RS-485 network cable should be routed in a continuous daisy chain bus configuration. There should not be any stub connections, stars or ring configurations. The bussed cable should pass through each node to be connected with no splits or branches in the cable network. Repeaters can be used to achieve the star, distributed star (backbone with clusters), off of the backbone. For additional information, review the article: EBO Webhelp Cabling Using the conversion tool and other engineering efforts, create the AS-P database for all Infinet devices, Infinet, Interface items, etc. in either a live AS-P or in the PCT. At the site From Continuum CyberStation,  the following must be completed to each Infinet controller that you are moving to an AS-P. Upgrade all Infinet devices that are going to be converted to the latest firmware version.  Firmware upgrading capability will not be available in EBO until a future release. Clear the memory of all Infinet devices involved before relocated to the AS-P com port by editing the controller object and selecting Runtime > Reset. If the conversion was done on the PCT, deploy the AS-P. Verify that the AS-P firmware is 1.9.0.73 or higher. Disconnect Infinet bus from the Continuum controller com port(s). Move the Infinet bus (busses) to the corresponding RS485 port(s) on the AS-P. Confirm that the Infinet devices are all showing online under the AS-P Download the Infinet devices. * Backup all Infinet devices to flash memory.   *  If the Infinet devices share data with other Infinet devices then it may be necessary to repeat this step in order to establish the complete Import/Export table. PLEASE NOTE The above steps are important! If not followed, offline and bus problems can occur. There may be a desire to skip the rest of the controllers, but the steps must be followed The likelihood is high that there will be substantial difficulties in getting the i2 controllers online and in a stable state to accept the download files. All of the Infinet controllers must be reset in Continuum before moving the bus to the AS-P.  The controllers should then be backup up to flash memory to ensure that they do not revert to their Continuum configuration following a cold start. If problems occur that make it necessary to abort the migration process and return the controllers to the Continuum system, all of the Infinet controller must have their memory cleared before re-attaching the bus on the comm port of the original Continuum controller.  For those controllers which have not established communications under the AS-P, this will mean performing a hard reset at the Infinet controller hardware. At no time should the Infinet bus be connected to the both the AS-P and the Continuum controller at the same time as this  confuses the Infinet controllers causes communications issues that will take some time to resolve. Please also see the "Infinet under the hood" community post Continuum Conversion Tool NOTES V3.0.x and v3.1.x Conversion Tools should not be used. The Workaround is to use the 2.0 Conversion Tool then upgrade. (The Conversion tool was fixed by v3.1.2.6000 (CP5)) V3.2.x onwards the Conversion Tool operates correctly v4.0.3 has an issue converting Infinet controllers, 4.01 or 4.02 should be used instead Now fixed in v4.0.3.5005 CP3(Known Issues) v3.x outperform 4.x, 5.x and 6x.(known Issues). The Workaround is to convert the dmp file in CCT 3.x then upgrade the DB to the expected version in PCT or AS-P.

Issue For various reasons sometimes it is necessary to clear the error log in the controllers.   NOTE: First generation controllers such as the CX9200 and CX9900 (NetController 1) and Infinet1 devices do not support the error log utility, this article does not apply to those controllers.   Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CyberStation bCX9640 bCX4040 bCX4000 CX9680 ACX5740 ACX5720 All b3 devices All i2 devices Cause Guidelines for clearing the controllers error log in the field. Resolution bCX4040, bCX4000, b3s Error log is cleared by setting the Errors system variable to 0 (zero)   IMPORTANT It s not recommended to set the errors system variable from within a Plain English program, doing so risks damaging the controller's flash memory which has a limited number of write/erase cycles. Only reset the errors system variable to 0 from the command line or from the system variable object editor.   If the Errors system variable has a non zero value all that is required is to reset it to 0   NOTE: In some older version of the firmware, if the Errors system variable is at 0 then it has to be changed to a non zero value before it can be reset to 0 One easy way to generate an error is to create an InfinityProgram that attempts a DIVIDE BY ZERO I.e. Program is AutoStart and FallThru Numeric N n = 1/0   Create the InfinityProgram above in the controller, once the program saves and runs it will be disabled and the Errors system variable will increment by one. Remember to delete the program as it is no longer needed bCX9640 CX9680, ACX5740, ACX5720 Use the controller error log tool to clear the error log.

Issue Continuum i2 and b3 devices share the same hardware platform, however, power consumption on the devices IO Expansion Port differs depending on the communication protocol firmware (Infinet or BACnet) running in the device. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment All i2 devices All b3 devices Cause Even though the hardware of an i2 device is identical to that of its counterpart b3 device, the difference in firmware causes variation in power consumption on the device's Expansion IO port, specifically, it has been observed that the b3 devices adhere more strictly to the 180 mA limit than the i2 devices, resulting in loss of operation on IO channels located on the Expansion Port if the power limit is exceeded.  Now that conversion of devices from one protocol to another is occurring in the field, it has become evident that there are cases where the 180 mA limit is exceeded in an i2 device without any negative results, but once the i2 device is converted to a b3 device, all IO on the expansion port stop working. Resolution Before converting an i2 device to a b3 device in the field, it is crucial to review the Expansion IO Datasheet (attached) to ensure that the configuration does not exceed the specified power consumption limit. If the configuration exceeds the 180 mA limit, take the following steps: Remove any additional xP module causing the limit to be exceeded. Reconfigure the xP modules to ensure that the configuration does not consume more than 180 mA.

Issue After 2000 backups an attempt to perform a backup to flash results in the error 'Flash backup for this controller has been disabled.' Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Andover Continuum Environment b3 controller i2 controller Cause Flash memory has a limited write count; Controllers implement a flash circuit breaker that trips after 2000 backup operations in order to protect the flash device from damage. Resolution (Applies to all b3 and i2 controllers) EcoStruxure Building Operation In EBO, a command has been added that will re-enable backup to flash after the circuit breaker has been tripped (2000 backups) From Workstation, in the object tree, right-click the i2/b3 device. From the context menu select, DEVICE->ENABLE BACKUP TO FLASH     Andover Continuum From CyberStation command line set the ACCStatusBackup system variable of the device to ACCBackupEnable. NOTE: The flash circuit breaker CANNOT be reset from Script/Plain English.  This is by design as it was deemed too risky to allow resetting it programmatically.  A poorly written program could very quickly cause damage to the flash device.

One way conversion: Conversion of b4920 to b3920 is not reversible, once the b4920 controller has been converted to b3920 device, it cannot be converted back to b4920. Issue A b3920 device has failed in the field and the only available replacement at hand is a b4920 Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Continuum b4920 Cause The b4920 is a Continuum BACnet router its hardware is almost identical to that of the b3920 device, the only difference is the Ethernet port in the b4920, which is not populated in the b3920. When a b3920 must be replaced, and the only available replacement is a b4920, use the steps outlined in this article to convert the b4920 to a b3920. Resolution Before starting the procedure, you need the following items: The b4920 device to be converted. The serial number of the b4920 device to be converted. Continuum Cyberstation with b4920 to be converted, configured, and online. (***) A RoamIO2 and BACnet Service Tool A special firmware b4920 application upgrade file provided by Product Support A b3920 bootloader file provided by Product Support Steps to convert b4920 into b3920 Contact Product Support and request the b4920 to b3920 conversion files. You will be provided with an application file (e.g. b4920toB3920B4.500077.upd) and a boot loader file (e.g. B3920BootB4.500077.upd). From Continuum Workstation, take note of the baud rate of the MSTP operating under the b4920 (In Comm1 settings) From Continuum Cyberstation, edit the b4920 controller object and take note of the BACnet Device ID and the controller Serial Number, typically they will be the same but this is not always the case. In the "General" tab, click 'Update OS' and send the Application file provided by PSS. Please note that once the application file has been sent and the controller re-starts, its MSTP will shut down and RoamIO2 is required to re-start the MSTP for operation as a b3920, the reason for this is Continuum uses mac id 0 (zero) for router controllers such as the b4920 and the bCX4040, in Continuum, b3 devices are not allowed to use mac id 0. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the b4920, the Ethernet port is now unusable. Connect the RoamIO2 directly to the b4920's Service Port then cycle power to the b4920. Start the BACnet Service Tool In the BACnet Service Tool, de-select View by networks, then click the connect icon, the conversion from b4940 to a b3920 causes the now b3920 device to come up with an unknown baud rate and an invalid (for b3s) mac id 0, so now need to find out the baud rate the converted b3920 is using From the "View" menu, select "RoamIO2 Properties and take note of the MAC ID the RoamIO2 is using   From the 'Tools' menu, select 'Set b3 baud rate' and set it to Baud9600, and click apply    From the 'Tools' menu, select 'Set offline b3 MAC id' and enter the serial number of the device and a valid MAC ID ( DO NOT ENTER ZERO NOR THE MAC ID IN USE BY ROAMIO2), then click on 'Apply'   If you get the message below, repeat the steps above for the next baud rate... when you have found the correct baud, you will see the message below after setting the MAC ID   Once the baud and MAC id have been set successfully, the device will automatically pop up in the tree, but it will only be partially online, to bring the device fully online, click the red disconnect icon on the BACnet Service Tool to disconnect from the device, wait about 30 seconds then  click the now green connect icon to reconnect the BACnet Service Tool to the device Right-click on the device, then select 'Update OS' and send it the appropriate boot loader file provided by Product Support Once the uprev of the boot loader has completed, click 'Done' button to dismiss, select the device, right-click and select 'Cold start device', and click 'Yes' on the confirmation window   You should now be able to commission the converted device as a b3920, either as a new device or as a replacement device, following the steps for replacing a b3 device. (those steps are not in the scope of this procedure) *** b4920 controllers are not easily defaulted to factory settings. If one gets an old b4920 from the shelf, use the steps below to find out the controller's current IP address and ACCNetId which are needed to put the controller online in Continuum. IP ADDRESS Upon start-up the b4920 sends a gratuitous ARP, use Wireshark to connect directly to b4920 controller using a crossover Ethernet cable, restart the controller, and inspect the gratuitous ARP to determine the IP address configured in the b4920 ACCNetID Once you have the IP address, use the attached utility tool to discover the ACCNetID of the b4920. Unzip the attached file and use the Windows Command Line to execute FindEnodeID.exe as seen below  

Issue Problems adding i2 or b3 controllers to systems and causing the network to go down or devices to not learn on. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment i2 Controller b3 Controller Cause Duplicate ID's,  incorrect baud rates or faulty controller Resolution Infinet and BACnet field controllers have the capability to autobaud and auto correct duplicate ID's on a network. They do this by listening to the network on powerup and determining what Baud Rate and currently operating controller ID's are on the network. If an existing controller is on the network and the newly added controller has the same ID assigned, the new controller will zero out its own ID so as not to cause a network problem with duplicate ID's. Then learning or manually commissioning the controller will give it a unique ID. It is therefore critical that when adding a controller to a network, that the controller is connected to the network before the controller is powered up.  Failure to do so could cause network problems such as duplicate ID's or conflicting baud rates which could bring the network down. If the new controller causes these types of problems it is recommended to power down the suspect controller(s) and re-power them to eliminate these issues.  Run acctrace when the learn is being done and there will be an indication of what is happening.  Send a controller error log to PSS.   If nothing else works even with a clean database then replace the Master and if that works send the controller in to repair.
