Allowable objects that can be Imported / Exported in StruxureWare Building Operation

Issue When importing shortcuts the following warning/error occur WARNING: The property, Target, xxxxxxxx, which has been ignored. Binding Limitations across multi-server configurations Environment SmartStruxure 1.2 / 1.3 Cause Building Operation does not import bindings in a multi-server scenario. If bindings are included in an exported solution, Building Operation displays a warning that the references were not created during an import. Therefore, you must manually recreate referenced bindings: From the Enterprise Server to a value on an Automation Server From an Automation Server to a value on the Enterprise Server From an Automation Server to a value on another Automation Server As a shortcut is basically a binding between two objects, then this holds true in this instance. Resolution Although bindings can be created (hence shortcuts created) across multi-server environments once you export these objects and then attempt to import these at later time or import across a different server, these bindings will be removed. The import process will provide a message "WARNING: The property, Target, , which has been ignored"; these objects are listed in the warning box.  A "Copy to clipboard" option is available so that these can be copied to Notepad (or similar) and then manually re-entered. Refer to the following help topic (you will need to login to the Online help to view this information). http://help.sbo.schneider-electric.com/topics/show.castle?id=5528&locale=en-US&productversion=1.3&a=1

Niagara R2 Modbus RTU integration with an Eaton Series 2000 Xpert Power Meter

Issue Notes from the field  on a Niagara R2 Modbus  RTU integration with an Eaton Series 2000 Xpert Power Meter. Environment I/A Series UNC licensed for the modbus asynch feature Eaton Series 2000 Xpert Power Meter Cause The 3rd party document is vague about  Modbus register-map differences between the IP and RTU protocols. Resolution 1. In order to obtain the Modbus RTU RS-485 map, you must look under the Eaton IQ-250/260 meter. The RS-485 map is NOT located anywhere under the Series 2000 meter. 2. There is also a utility in the "help" button when connecting to the embedded setup & monitoring software on the Eaton Power Meter. The Modbus map can be uploaded as an Excel spreadsheet, however, it is important to note that this map is the TCP/IP Modbus register map, not the RS-485 map. This can be accessed via a standard internet browser utilizing an Ethernet cable connection to the meter. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. 3. The standard 5 digit Modbus register can be calculated form Eaton's Decimal register number by adding 40000 to the register number listed on their map For example, (register # 1000) (40000 + 1000 = 41000) for the Volts Phase A - Neutral value.

Can the Frame Rate be changed in Continuum for different video features?

Issue Some sites may want to have continuous recording at 1 fps (frame per second), motion at 10 fps and alarm conditions (live) at 30 fpx Environment Continuum Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Cause An attempt is made to find a place in Continuum where the frame rate can be edited, but the location of the feature cannot be found. Resolution There is no place in Continuum to adjust the frame rate per second for different features for Digital Sentry or Endura. The only adjustment that can be made in Continuum is that on record video playback, the fast forward button can clicked several times in order to move faster. To go back to normal speed click the play button again. All other frame rate adjustments have to be made in DS admin for Digital Sentry or in Endura.
