RSTP Troubleshooting for BACnet/IP Controllers

Issue BACnet/IP controllers are not configured in RSTP Mode by default, therefore must be configured during installation. Having RSTP Mode disabled by default allows one to connect BACnet/IP controllers to any switch, even with port security configured to detect BPDU packets and disable the port. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series Environment Multi-purpose Controller (MP-C) Multi-purpose VAV (MP-V) Room Controller IP-IO I/A Series N4 Jace8000 SmartX IP Driver for Niagara Cause RSTP protocol requires that controllers, switches, and network architecture are configured to ensure the protocol will operate as expected.  Resolution Setting RSTP Mode for BACnet/IP Controllers ALL devices in the RSTP loop MUST BE IN RSTP MODE to function properly. This is not a huge issue because during startup you can unplug 2nd side of the loop and it will function properly in a daisy chain. Ensure the SmartX Controllers are configured correctly Configuring BACnet/IP Controller Device Settings A factory or network reset returns the RSTP setting to Disabled. Important: Whenever you make changes to RSTP the controller MUST be restarted. If you fail to perform this restart, the BACnet/IP controller will continue communicating using its previous RSTP settings. 'Activate IP Changes' does not affect RSTP mode. Ensure the switch is configured properly per Configuring RSTP on a Managed Switch for SmartX IP Controllers Bridge Priority = 4096 Hello Time = 2 sec Max Age = 40  (40 is the maximum value allowed by the protocol. Default is 20) Forward Delay = 21 sec Change Bridge Priority by adding 4096 as switches get further away from AS. (8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672) DO NOT set the priority as 32768 or higher because that is the built-in Bridge Priority of BACnet/IP Controllers. Configure the Root Bridge Switch (closest to Automation Server) settings first Then configure the additional Switches in order of increasing Bridge Priority. Plug in 2nd side of the RSTP Loop If all devices stay online, then it is working properly. Now test line breaks or controllers that are powered off. If all devices go offline and/or the switch LED is flashing rapidly, then go to RSTP Troubleshooting. Managed Switch Troubleshooting Ensure the switch is IEEE 802.1D - 2004 capable. BACnet/IP Controller Networking Term Definitions RSTP Ring mentions the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is specified in IEEE 802.1D - 2004. Ensure the firmware is up-to-date by contacting the vendor or manufacturer or downloading it from its website. Ensure ports not participating in RSTP are configured as Edge Port, Admin port, or have STP disabled. Nomenclature for those settings on your specific managed switch may vary so consult the documentation or contact the vendor or manufacturer to assist with configuration. Adding BACnet/IP controllers to site-managed switches, work with Local IT to add these devices to their network. They will need to work with their switch vendor/manufacturer/support group to ensure the configuration of those switches because it could be more complex than changing the minimum recommended four settings above. Also, since RSTP Protocol is limited to Max Age = 40 (hops including site switches and BACnet/IP controllers), there may be limits on the size of each loop based on their site switch network configuration and architecture.   RSTP Troubleshooting Check each BACnet/IP Controller -> Diagnostics -> Device Report to confirm in RSTP Mode MANUAL CHECKOUT Double-click MP - Diagnostics Files - Device Report It will open in the default text editor Review the Device Settings section near the bottom. In firmware 1.00.0x, the report should report RSTP Mode: Enable In firmware 2.00.0x or higher, RSTP: Enabled and RSTP Status: Operational If it reports disabled, then perform Setting RSTP Mode for BACnet IP Controllers Step 1 until RSTP is working properly. USE SEARCH & EVENTS EBO 2.x MP Device IP and Settings.xml for EBO 2.0 as it only includes MP controllers EBO 3.x SmartX Device IP and Settings.xml for EBO 3.x or higher Import attached search USE RSTP STATUS GRAPHIC IN WEBSTATION MUST BE EBO 3.1 or higher which includes ClientAPI support Fusion Fridays - Session 07 ​​​​ The start of the video shows the graphics page in use RSTP Status.zip is downloaded via the link below the video. Extract the TGML and drop it on the AS to import. The suggestion is to store TGML directly under the AS to help with navigation in Webstation. bind Network to the BACnet/IP network with the BACnet/IP Controllers. (You may need a second TGML page if BACnet/IP controllers are on Primary and Secondary IP) Run from web browser via WebStation because utilizes ClientAPI KNOWN ISSUES Factory Reset or controller replacement should leave one ethernet cable unplugged until configured for RSTP per these articles: Replace a BACnet/IP Controller in an RSTP Ring Network Workflow and MP Controller Reset Modes If BACnet/IP Controller Device Report OR RSTP Graphic reports RSTP Status: Changes Pending instead of RSTP Status: Operational, disable RSTP Mode, restart, re-enable RSTP Mode, restart, and check again. If Firmware 3.02.01 is installed, please upgrade to 3.02.02. SmartX is now SpaceLogic.

In MNB-1000 (Plant Controller) firmware Revision 1.50E, the Spanning Tree Protocol is Disabled, by default.

Issue In MNB-1000 (Plant Controller) firmware Revision 1.50E, the Spanning Tree Protocol is Disabled, by default. All previous versions were shipped with the Spanning Tree Protocol enabled. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series MNB-1000 (Plant Controller), firmware Revision 1.50E, and later. Cause In some cases where multiple BACnet routers (eg, MNB-1000, UNC, ENC, etc) were installed on the same BACnet-IP internetwork, having the Spanning Tree Protocol enabled in the MNB-1000 would allow a "router loop". Resolution Be aware that in MNB-1000s with firmware Revision 1.50E and later, the Spanning Tree protocol is disabled, by default. Click here to see the Release Notes for firmware Revision 1.50E . It is always recommended the highest firmware version available for the MNB-1000 be used.  Many issues have been addressed for better functionality.

Unable to ping the MNB-1000 (Plant Controller) using firmware Revision 1.50E or higher

Issue Unable to ping the MNB-1000 (Plant Controller) using firmware Revision 1.50E until 1.532  Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series MNB-1000 (Plant Controller), firmware Revision 1.50E, until 1.532. Cause Common IP (Internet Protocol) ports echo (7), daytime (13) and time (37) are open. Having any of these IP ports open may be a cause of concern for customers that are sensitive to network security issues; these customers include defense installations, financial institutions, and government buildings. Resolution The services using the echo, daytime, and time protocols have been disabled which prevents IP ports 7, 13, and 37 from being open. These services and protocols have no purpose during the normal operation of the MNB-1000. Disabling the echo protocol and closing of port (7) has the side effect that the MNB-1000 cannot be “pinged”. Using the command line program Ping will not detect an MNB-1000 that has firmware v1.50E installed. Use WPCT instead of Ping to verify communications with the MNB-1000. Click here to see the Release Notes for firmware Revision 1.50E. Update; In firmware 1.532, the ping function was re-initiated as the default.  Please see the TPA-IA-19-0004.00 Firmware 1.532 Release Notes.  It is always recommended the highest firmware version available for the MNB-1000 be used.  Many issues have been addressed for better functionality.

Servers not visible after upgrade due to permission change

Issue Servers not visible after upgrade due to permission change Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Enterprise Server ES Enterprise Central EC Cause The Domain Local Group " Reports Administrators" is removed when an ES is upgraded to v4.0 or greater. This Group is automatically deleted during the upgrade because Report Server is not supported in v4.0 or greater. It is possible for local users to be selected as User Group members of " Reports Administrators", so the permissions for these users may change after the upgrade. This is not good practice, only the Reports Server login user should be part of the " Reports Administrators" Group " After the upgrade the Group "Reports Administrators" is removed and the Servers are not accessible Resolution Any users that were part of Group "Reports Administrators" should be reassessed and their permissions corrected

Enterprise Server ES crash

Issue Enterprise Server ES crash Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Enterprise Server ES Enterprise Central EC Cause The ES/EC runs on a Windows platform and there are circumstances that can lead to a single crash or multiple crashes leaving the ES/EC not running Background - The ES service is usually running. The service can be seen below under the Windows services and via "Building Operation Software Administrator"  The ES v4.0 has crashed and will not restart. The "Building Operation x.x Connect Agent" collects any core dumps and packages them, so they can be quickly analyzed. It also checks if an ES is registered and online, then uploads the core dump files for automatic analysis. If the site is not registered or is offline, then these files are stored locally at %ProgramData%\Schneider Electric [EcoStruxure|StruxureWare]\Building Operation [n.n]\Enterprise [Server|Central]\db\Crash information (default for v4.0 "C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric EcoStruxure\Building Operation 4.0\Enterprise Server\db\Crash information") The "Building Operation x.x Connect Agent" is a Windows Service and installed with the ES, the service should be left to run continually. If it is not running during an ES crash, the core dump may still get created, but does not get packaged up in a way that can be easily analyzed. Each packed crash dump file may look like "ES_ES_MYCOMPUTER_20221104T121314Z.zip" and likely be between 40MB and 200MB in size. The individual core dump will look like "server_20230314_132853__r4.0.3.176.dmp", but is very time consuming to analyze, without the other associated files Resolution Following a crash,the EC/ES will usually restart and operate correctly, however in some cases the EBO database or install file structure may be damaged and the EC/ES may fail to restart correctly EC/ES has crashed and is now running correctly Send the following information to Support - All core dumps from the "\db\Crash information" folder - All data from the "\db\logs" folder - Ideally a full backup of the ES (with history), always zip before sending to Support If the "Crash information" folder is empty, then check the "Building Operation x.x Connect Agent" is running. It is possible the core dumps have already been uploaded and analyzed automatically EC/ES has crashed, tried to restart but just stops again. (as seen in the first screen shot, "The server has made too many unsuccessful attempts to start..." is seen It is important to gather all the data as stated above, but also collected the EC/ES and AS backups from "\db_backup" It can be useful to get full copy of the files in "/db" Ideally the EC/ES is not critical to the operation of a site, but it can still cause a big problem. Checking the Trace and System logs may give a clue to the problem, e.g. a lack of disk space, but often there are only a few options   Collect the files above, then wait for a reply from support. Please state if the EC/ES is stopped and a resolution is being sort. Reinstall the EC/ES at the same version and choose repair current version, or upgrade to a newer CP Fix version or maintenance version. Uninstall the EC/ES, then re-install the same version with an empty database, then restore the last good backup to the ES. If option 2 or 3 is used, it is still important to log a case with support, so the crash can be investigated. The backup can be checked for errors using the XBK Analyzer.

License Features list for version 3.0 and 4.0 Product names

Issue Is there a quick reference I can search to find out what features are included in a particular license When manually adding my Product during offline embedded license workflow, how do I know which Features is included and in what quantity?  Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation EBO 2022 v4.03 and lower  Embedded Offline Licensing Offline Activation of Licenses Workflow Cause Currently, no information lists features for each Product name listed in the Part Number Summary for EBO 2022.  A documentation defect (QC 49762) has been raised, which should resolve this.  This article has been created to assist somewhat during this process while waiting for this to be corrected.  The recommendation, if possible, is to perform license activation online to avoid having to enter this detail.   Resolution Important Note: This information is no longer valid for EBO 2022 (Maintenance Release 4.0.4) and EBO 2023 and greater.  The details below are still provided for reference only and are not needed for these later versions.   Attached are two documents that provide version 3.0 and 4.0 License details.  The documents contain all searchable details, including: Product Name Features Part Numbers     Additional details required for Device Administrator "Feature Name" offline entry:   SpaceLogic Server license details Feature Name (seen in Device Admin) License name (seen in Features document) Description / Comments Automation Server server.as.base   SmartDrivers smartdriver.license   SNMP Notifications server.alarms.snmp   Personal Dashboard client.dashboard   TimescaleDB server.timescale   MQTT Publish/Subscribe server.mqtt.rw Enables EBO, as MQTT Client, to publish data on an MQTT Broker and to subscribe to the same data. Serial Modbus server.modbus.rtu Allows SmartX server serial communication - Modbus RTU Serial MS/TP server.bacnet.mstp Allows SmartX server serial communication - MSTP ES Connection server.connect.to.es Allows SmartX server to be hosted by an Enterprise Server Server I/O server.io Allows SmartX server to use IO Field Devices server.device.as Allows SmartX server to host one field device SAML Authentication server.as.auth.saml   Zoning client.zoning Enables use of zoning tools BACnet IP server.bacnet.ip Allows SmartX Server to communicate using BACnet IP Software Assurance software.assurance         Feature Name (Automatically included with bundle licenses)   client.webstation Allows Webstation to log on to an AS   server.cloud.customer Cloud connectivity - Checked by Cloud SMS (Production)   server.as.scalable Included in the license that allows SpaceLogic servers upgrades. i.e. Standalone to Standard etc.   Example: Product Name: ASP-NL Bundle upgrade - Full to ASP Full    Search the document for the product name in the attached document. In this case, the version 4 document.  Below is the result seen in the document: From this, the associated Features and Quantity are shown. In Device Administrator, then add the respective features and quantities when adding the product manually to the Entitlement. Use the above table to correlate between Feature Name and License Name. The example shown below:
