Issue Is it possible to set a startup delay for TAC Vista server? Product Line TAC Vista Environment TAC Vista 5.1.X 32-bit Windows operating systems Cause Delaying the startup of the Vista Server is typically done to allow for other software to get up and running first. Example: LConfig needs to be running prior to Vista Server. Resolution There is two ways of adding a delay, either you do it manually like described below. Or there is a tool you can use called "Tacos Startup Delay", see community post TACOS Startup Delay Open the registry editor. Click on Start\Run and type regedit. Locate the TAC Vista 5.1.X registry key (where 'X' is the installed version of Vista) My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TAC AB\TAC Vista\5.1.X Add a string value named "TacosStartupDelay" Enter a value in seconds for the startup delay.     Additionally, this helpful utility can be used to set the delay without going into the registry editor.

Issue An STR-104 can be used to monitor space temperature with a Xenta programmable controller. If a zone override is also required, the most straight-forward solution is to wire the override button to a digital input on the same controller. However, if those wires were not installed, or sufficient inputs are not available on the controller, the override button can be sent via the temperature sensor wires. Environment STR-104 Xenta programmable controllers Xenta 280, 281, 282, 283, 300, 301, 302, 401, 401:B Cause If enough wires were not run, or sufficient inputs are not available on the controller, the override button can be sent via the temperature sensor wires. Resolution The override signal sent via temperature sensor wires is accomplished by shorting the temperature sensor reading to ground. The Menta application senses this short and interprets it as a zone override. On the STR-104, short terminals 12 to 14 (Therm to Switch) On the STR-104, short terminals 11 to 15 (M to MX) Terminals 11 and 12 on the STR-104 go to M and B1 on a Xenta programmable (for example). Download this Menta macro for use in the programmable Menta application. While the button is pressed, the temperature will jump to a failed-shorted value of 300+ °F.  The attached Menta app will read in this jump, filter it out from a failed sensor, and enable an override for an adjustable duration.

Issue When integrating I/NET into Vista; by default I/NET alarms do not show the station name, link name, or device name (point name). Environment I/NET Seven Vista 4.5 and up Cause The settings on the $AlarmColumns object in Vista do not have the I/NET column fields checked by default. Resolution To customize the Vista alarm queue with the proper fields for I/NET alarms please follow these steps. Click on the root level TAC Vista object in the Vista tree. Right click on the $AlarmColumns object and choose properties. Check the desired boxes in the Columns fields. Note: The link name selection will display the I/NET link name that the alarm originated from. Example: Link 5 South Campus The station name field will display the I/Net station name that the alarm originated from. Example: AHU5 The device name field will display the physical point name programmed within the I/NET controller. Example: OA Damper The site field is only needed when using DLA (distributed link architecture) and will display the name of the DLA site Example: Site 1 North Campus

Issue Do Xenta controllers support PT100/PT1000 sensors for measuring the temperature? Environment Xenta Controller TAC Menta PT100/PT1000 Temperature sensors Cause Requirement to measure the temperature using PT100/PT1000 Temperature sensors. Resolution PT100/PT1000 sensors are not supported within any of the Xenta controllers.  The following is a method to achieve this using Menta: When using PT100/PT1000 to connect to a thermistor input, Menta Logic is required to add a polynom using the expression block. It is also strongly recommended to implement some calibration software in Menta to allow for fluctuations in resistance for every input that PT100/PT1000 is connected to. If a sensor is replaced / changed, re-calibration will be required. Sample experiment results and Menta Logic's are available here.

Issue Self-Registration Error while installing Remote Workstation (some of the "dll" files are not installed). The following files did not self-register or unregister. Environment TAC Vista 5.0.X Remote Workstation Cause When uninstalling the TAC Vista Remote Workstation some of the "dll" files will not un-install from "TAC Shared" folder (Find the TAC Shared folder in "C:\Program Files\Common Files). Due to this, while reinstalling the Remote Workstation pop-up an error-"Self-Registration" and few "dll" cannot install, then the Installation terminates. Resolution Uninstall the Remote Workstation. Delete the TAC Shared folder from C:\Program Files\Common Files Reinstall Remote Workstation. Note: Install .NET Framework 2.0 before installing the Remote Workstation software.

Issue How can a communication heartbeat time be detected in Menta? Can you detect if a value has not changed for more then a specified time period? Environment Menta Cause There are multiple methods to detect a timeout scenario and which method to use will likely depend on the specific criteria of your application. The included examples are intended to indicate some of the options available that can be built upon to customize your application. Resolution These methods can be used to detect if another device has stopped communicating or if another portion of your process logic is stuck. Timeout Simple (Click image for AUT file) This macro block will output a value of one when the input value has not changed for the DelayOn time period and you do not require the previous value for processing. Timeout Complex (Click image for AUT file) This macro block will preserve the last value for use in your process logic if that is necessary.

Issue What sensors can be used in Clean Rooms  What sensors can be used outdoors for temperature measurement What sensor can be used in a swimming pool What sensor would be explosive proof What color is the wall sensor and are custom colors available Environment Building Automation System such as I/NET, Vista, or Continuum at a site containing a clean room, swimming pool, or outdoors Cause Questions concerning the uses of Schneider Electric sensors in Clean Room applications Questions concerning temperature sensors for Outdoor installations Questions concerning temperature sensors for swimming pools Questions concerning explosion proof sensors* Questions concerning color and custom colors for sensors Resolution All the Schneider Electric temperature sensors found in the HVAC Sensor Catalogue as well as on iPortal provide high accuracy and can be mounted on the wall, in ducts, or in a J-Box. Appendix A provides the accuracy for each of the temperature sensors. Color: STR series wall sensors are: Front Cover: White NCS S-0500 N Core Plate: White NCS S-0500 N and Gray NCS S-2500 N Base Plate: Gray NCS S 1502-R Manufacturing in custom colors in not available. One option could possibly to have the sensors locally custom finished to meet customer's requirements. While there is not a direct cross reference to RAL colors, our engineering team has found the closest alternates. Please see the attached pdf. Clean Room: Depending on the specified limits of the clean room, the variety of sensors offered by Schneider Electric are possible solutions. Thing you may want to research are the standards required for the site. Clean rooms are a controlled environment where products are manufactured. It is a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled to specified limits. Eliminating sub-micron airborne contamination is really a process of control. These contaminants are generated by people, process, facilities and equipment and must be continually removed from the air. The level to which these particles need to be removed depends upon the standards required. The most frequently used standard is the ISO 14644 Standards, which were first formed from the US Federal Standard 209E Airborne Particulate Cleanliness Classes in Cleanrooms and Clean Zones.  ISO 14644 is a document that establishes standard classes of air cleanliness for airborne particulate levels in cleanrooms and clean zones. Strict rules and procedures are followed to prevent contamination of the manufactured product. The only way to control contamination is to control the total environment. Air flow rates and direction, pressurization, temperature, humidity and specialized filtration all need to be tightly controlled. Outdoor:  Schneider Electrics selection of Outdoor Temperature Sensors are the STO100, 200, 500, & 600. These outdoor sensors are intended for outdoor wall mounting. Variants are available for Vista, I/NET, Continuum and Satchwell systems. The body has a 20mm conduit entry and the product is supplied with a conduit gland.

The transmitter is intended for mounting on an outside wall, on the north side where possible. The transmitter is connected over a 2-wire cable, which serves both as power supply and signal transmission. The reading of the measured signal is made over an external load resistance. Outdoor Temperature Sensor STO300 -50/50 Order Code 006920501 Part Number STO300 -50/50 System All Note for each of these outdoor sensors, find the Description, the Order Code, Part Number, and the System it works with for the iBAS (intelligent Building Automation System) Please note the difference in Weatherproof and Outdoor. I put a lot of these outdoor sensors in at a university in Texas, and always installed in places that were a little protected. I found that under porches, up under the eves and out of the sun, or along a loading dock out of the rain and ice gave me accurate readings. Swimming Pool: In the piping system of a swimming pool is a corrosive environment with steadily harmful and gradually destructive minerals and chlorine in the water which present a challenge finding sensors able to withstand for extended periods of time. Schneider Electric makes several immersion temperature sensors. Beginning on page 12 of the above HVAC Catalogue, there is a variety of immersion sensors for the different iBMS lines.  One example is the STP660 is a Temperature Sensor for the European market, and intended for immersion mounting in pipe or the circulating systems. The stainless steel probe is a good solution but remember,  if the sensor is to be installed in pool water that contains chlorine, the best bet is to use a stainless steel pocket. I suppose it all depends on if sensor is in pipe associated with the secondary pool side of the system or the heating side of the system. If the sensor head is in an area exposed to Chlorine, then there may be an issue.  Chlorine may attack the solder connections of the wired joints inside the sensor. In the old days products from Satchwell used to produce special sensors for such applications where the wire connections were varnished in order to prevent corrosion. I think at the end of the day, our sensor would have a similar life expectancy to other devices in the plant that were no designed for use in such corrosive atmospheres. Explosion proof sensors: Schneider Electric does not manufacture explosion proof sensors. We do not partner with another manufacturer who provides such sensors. The closest is an 3rd party explosion proof enclosure with one of our available sensors. Our sensors are designed for building installations and if in extreme environments, we suggest enclosures.

Issue Large libraries of jpg and bmp graphics exist that have frames of damper movement, or different colors for a pump depending on status. How can these be brought into TGML and used in the same way that they were once used in I/NET gpg or Vista IV OGC graphics? Environment TGML Cause TGML has a rich set of animation and rotational tags for vectored images, however if a large library of jpg or bmp files exists, it can be imported into TGML and used like it was before in other graphics programs. Resolution Click here to download a sample TGML graphic that contains the two examples below. They use jpg images to represent a damper at different angles of rotation. The first example deals with an open/close damper and the second with an analog output. The four images used are: 0° 30° 60° 90° In TGML, these would be imported using the "Insert Picture" tool and then stacked on top of each other. Open/Close Damper A 0° image on the bottom, 90° image on top. Binding on the 90° image toggles the Visibility attribute of the fully open image using ConvertValue tags. If the value equals 0 the "open" image is hidden, displaying the closed image. If the value is 1, the "open" image is visible, hiding the closed image below, and showing the damper fully open. Analog Damper A 0° image on the bottom, stacked on top with 30°, 60°, 90° images. Instead of using SignalEqualTo attribute of ConvertValue, used SignalMoreThan and SignalLessOrEqualTo to create "bands" around which each image would become visible. Because of how they are stacked on stop of each other, only one will ever show.

Issue Supplemental Documentation on the Menta SEQ (sequence) block Environment Menta Cause The document is intended to clarify the inputs and configuration parameters of the Menta SEQ block and when/how to use them. Resolution Click here to download a copy of this document in PDF format Click here to download the example Menta macro   Supplemental Documentation: Menta SEQ   A Brief Overview of Sequence Block The Sequence block is used to start N of M stages based on a percentage input. Each stage is represented by a single bit in the output of the block which requires calculation to determine if each stage is off or on. The Sequence block also provides the ability to rotate the stages, specify a delay between multiple stages activating, and a hysteresis to adjust the activation or deactivation of stages. The Sequence block is ideal for rotating operating stages that have high frequency of change. It is not the proper block to use for run time balancing between multiple stages. Input of the SEQ Block The input expects a 0-100 value where a 0 represents zero stages active and 100 represents all stages are active. Configuration Parameters of the SEQ Block Stages The number of stages to activate at 100% input. Rotate Rotation Flag. If Rotate is set to 0 then the first stage will always be active if 1 stage is required. If Rotate is set to 1 then the first stage to activate will be the first stage to deactivate. Period Time delay(ms) between multiple stages activating. Hysteresis Hysteresis is used to offset the activation or deactivation % for each stage. If the Hysteresis is positive then it will shift the activation % higher by that amount. If the Hysteresis is negative then it will shift the deactivation % lower by that amount. Normal Operation of 4 Stages:    Stage 1 Activation Stage 2 Activation Stage 3 Activation Stage 4 Activation Input 20% 40% 60% 80%  Hysteresis of 10%    Stage 1 Activation Stage 2 Activation Stage 3 Activation Stage 4 Activation Input 30% 50% 70% 90%  Hysteresis of -15%    Stage 1 Deactivation Stage 2 Deactivation Stage 3 Deactivation Stage 4 Deactivation Input 5% 25% 45% 65% Output of the SEQ Block The number of stages active is based on the following formula: Active Stages = ((Maximum Stages +1) * Input) / 100 The number of active stages is then encoded into an Integer as the output of the SEQ block where each bit represents whether each stage is active or inactive. Since this is a single value it must be decoded using expression blocks to detect if each bit is active.

Issue When using the STR-350/351 as an I/O module in Menta (Options > Device Specification > IO Expansion and Wall Module Table) some programming consideration must be made to keep the occupancy and setpoint in sync between the stat and the program. Both STRIN and STROUT Menta simple blocks should be used for the most robust synchronization. Environment STR-350/351 as an I/O Module Menta Cause The STR-350 takes roughly 30 seconds to recover from a power failure. The Xenta is much faster than that resulting in reading an invalid setpoint from the STR-350 on a power cycle. By storing the last known setpoint in a DELR block with the "backup" option set, the setpoint will be restored (provided the power has not been off longer than 3 days, in which case it would default back to the initial value of the backed up value). Resolution Click the pictures of the Menta macro below to download the source file. Occupancy To control occupancy from the programmable controller time schedule, the occupancy must be sent to the STR-350. In order to allow for local override commands from the stat, the occupancy must be read in from the STR-350. By allowing the programmable controller to control both the schedule and the override, the stat stays in synch with the program. Setpoint The setpoint requires a little bit of extra programming to account for a power failure. The stat will report invalid setpoints for the first 30 seconds, which will cause it to come back in an undesired state. By letting the programmable hold onto the last known setpoint, and write it back to the stat on power up, there is no change in the setpoint after a power loss. Looping the setpoint in/out from the stat keeps everything in synch with the program, including stat adjustments. Note: This code protects against unwanted behavior following a power failure. A download the Xenta base unit will not trigger the Reset block protection and will cause the stat to go outside the bounds of, and then be limited by, either the high or low setpoint limit. Precaution should be taken following a download to manually reset the setpoint to the desired value. Additional logic for controlling the setpoint remotely could be incorporated into this code. If these macros are going to be used with a STR-350/351 set in degrees Celsius; make sure to change all initial values within the setpoint range. If the initial values are outside of the setpoint range, then the setpoint will always default back to the last known value.

Issue Configuring and monitoring the Xenta 102-AX is traditionally done through the LNS Xenta 102-AX Plug-In, but how can it be done in a Vista Classic Network where no LNS plug-ins are available? Environment Vista 5 Classic Network TGML Xenta 102-AX Vista Workstation ONLY -- This plug-in is not compatible with Webstation or XBuilder graphics at this time. Cause LNS Plug-ins are not available in a Vista Classic Network. Resolution All of the values that are written to by the LNS Plug-In are public and available through the Vista front end. So if only one or two signals need to be set for each box, this can be accomplished by locating them in the Vista network and writing the desired values to them.  This does require some fairly intimate knowledge of the Xenta 102-AX and Plug-In. The alternative is: Download the Xenta 102-AX TGML Plug-in by clicking the image below.  Unzip the contents to the hard drive. Open the TGML file. Select File > Save As > Vista Database Object Navigate to the first Xenta 102-AX in the network. Drill down into the 102-AX on the same level with Node_Object and VAV_Controller modules. Give the plug-in graphic a name and save. Right click on the Graphic object in Vista Workstation and select Copy Navigate to the next Xenta 102-AX and select Paste Shortcut. Since all bindings are automatically populated with relative bindings, copying and pasting shortcuts will automatically display data for the associated Xenta 102-AX. Repeat Step 8 for all Xenta 102-AXs in the network.
