Can I use the RS485 port on a bCX Comm 2 for a Plain English driver?

Issue How to select between the RS232 and RS485 port on a bCX1 controller when sending / receiving ASCII data. Environment Serial port Plain English Driver RAW Mode Bcx1 9640, 4040 Cause Unable to select RS485, the controller only transmits/ receives through RS232. Resolution There is no switch exposed to Plain English that allows you to use the RS485 port on Comm2 of a bCX.  A Netcontroller II would be able to do it as on Comm1 & 2, it has both RS232 & RS485 full circuits that work in parallel. So when you print from Plain English, the data goes out of both ports. You just need to control the RTS line of the port to switch between transmitting or receiving on the RS485 as it is half duplex. The way the bCX Comm2 is wired internally it defaults to RS232 but there is no exposed parameter to switch to RS485. In the Modbus RTU X Driver there is the special parameter (Function 99) that has to be set to switch between the ports, but this switch is at a level that only an X Driver can access. The options are: Use a Netcontroller II , or use a RS232/ RS485 converter (ensure it is not line powered), with the PE program sending / receiving on the RS232 port of the bCX. Possibly move to Comm1 of the bCX freeing up Comm2 for use with Infinet or BACnet controllers (assuming the node count is not 0).

Sigma Ver 4.08 upgrade. Only the default user is available on the system

Issue After upgrading from Version 4.07 to Ver 4.08, only the SIGMA USER is available when the user logs onto the system. All existing users and groups are lost. Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment Sigma Server Cause During the install process there is an option to start the sigma server once the installation is complete. This will then create a default user file for the new installation. Resolution This release of Sigma (3.46.57) has a new file for storing the server details and user information. This file is GenCnfEx.rec. During the installation process there is an option to start the sigma server after the installation completes. Make sure this is not ticked if you are doing an upgrade as once the server starts it will create a new file with only the default user. When the install is complete without starting SigmaSvr, run the upgrade program, then start SigmaSvr. If the new file has been created in error, stop SigmaSvr, then delete the newly created GenCnfEx.rec file as it cannot be updated by simply running the upgrade program. Make sure you have your Ver 4.07 GenCnf.rec file  in the data folder and run the upgrade. This will then create the new file with the server details and user information.

Sigma 4.08, Access Class 17 to 32 do not display object values

Issue Sigma 4.08, Access Class 17 to 32 do not display object values Environment Sigma 4.08 Cause In Sigma 4.08 Build 3.46.57, if an Index or Object is assigned an Access Class of 17 to 32. The object does not display a value. Resolution Request Hot Fix 3.46.86 from Product Support Services. The Hot Fix will need to be installed at each local and remote client. When the Hot Fix is deployed, each object that has been assigned an Access Class of 17 to 32 will need to be opened in Object Editor, exit, saved and finally downloaded to the controller. Single object download without opening in Object Editor or Point File download is not sufficient.

This error was seen when attempting to connect to the outbound.att.net SMTP server. It may apply to other SMTP server as well. Resolution Check to see if there’s a certificate for the mail server and if it has been approved. - Open the station’s Platform and select ‘Certificate Management’. - Select the Allowed Hosts tab. - Look for host named ‘outbound.att.net’ (it’s probably has not been approved) - Right-click on it and select ‘Approve’ - Select ‘Yes’ for the messages ‘Are you sure you want to approve the selected exemption(s)?’ To send or clear queued emails: - Double-click on the station’s ‘EmailService’ - Right-click on the OutgoingAccount and select ‘Actions’ and then ‘Send’ or ‘Clear Alarms’ If it was a certificate issue, you should now be able to send emails to the SMTP server.

Tips to speed up saved searches in StruxureWare Building Operation

Issue Tips to speed up saved searches in StruxureWare Building Operation Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment StruxureWare Workstation Cause Searches take a large set of objects and check them against text matching and then against conditions. The more you can eliminate before checking text or conditions the better. Resolution Whenever possible use the following methods to speed up searches Use the 'In folder' field to avoid searching too large a section of the system Do not include properties or sub-servers when they are not needed Specify the smallest subset of type you are able to. For example, if you only want Extended Trend Logs, do not use the Base Trend Log object.

BACnet COM Address of Room Controller SE7000 and SE8000

Issue When installing SE7000/SE8000 Room Controllers to connect them to a BACnet MS/TP network, multiple issues can arise: Leaving the Room Controller's COM address at 254 (default value out of the box) will make the room controller undiscoverable by the front end. Choosing a Com address value between 128 to 253 will cause the front end system to convert the com address to 127, causing duplicates when working with multiple Room Controllers. Room controllers with COM address set to 0 will prevent the front end from discovering any devices Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Other Environment SE8xxx Room controller SE8000 Series SER8300, SE8300, SE8350, SE8600 Viconics branding VT8000 Series SE7000 Series Controllers, VT7000 Series Controllers, 7600, 7300, 7200 Cause Master devices, those who participate in the token-passing protocol, must be addressed from 1 to 127. Addresses from 128 to 253 are reserved for slaves who do not participate in the token passing; however, they can occupy lower addresses as well. Resolution COM address must be changed to a value in the range of 1-127.

Unable to control an I/NET DO object from a TGML graphic in HTML5

Issue Unable to control an I/NET DO object from a TGML graphic in HTML5, works in Workstation and Java based webstation Environment WebStation Cause The data type may not be correct.  The value should be written to PvControl as either a 0 or a 1.  If this is set as a string data type, Workstation can correct for this error, but HTML5 is less forgiving. Resolution locate the line of javascript where you write the value to the bind. this is typically a setValue(bind, value) function. bind = the full bind name of the pvControl binding. value = the value that is intended to be written to the pvControl bind. One line before the setValue command, enter the line " parseFloat(value)"  - This will convert that value to float. If the value is a 0 or a 1, the setValue command will now correctly set the I/NET value.

A graphic on an InVue client computer does not match the same graphic on the InVue server. How can it be updated?

Issue One graphic is not the same on the InVue client computer as it is on the InVue server.  InVue Viewer has been re-started on the client computer which initiates an automatic file transfer from the server.  But the graphic is still different.  How can the graphic be updated on the client? Environment InVue Cause The graphic is not considered a 'modified' graphic so it doesn't automatically transfer to the client computer. Resolution Open InVue Developer and modify the graphic slightly and then save it.  Use 'Notify Clients' under the 'Special' dropdown to propagate the modified graphic to the client computer.

Aperion Integration getting Invalid Attempt

Issue Reading a card on a new door and getting an Invalid Attempt in the Events Window. Environment Continuum version 1.94 and above using the Aperio Assa Abloy integration. Cause Controller running an older version of firmware as well as the version of X Driver. Resolution To resolve the issue, the following steps need to be followed: Verify that the card being used is in the database and that it does have access to the necessary door. In Continuum Explorer Window, right click the controller, select open, verify that the firmware version for the NCII if older than 2.100035 and the ACX 57XX 1.101038, then upgrade to this version. The driver is now fully supported in the ACX5740/20 firmware version 1.100042 and NCII version 2.100041 available on the Exchange site. Right Click on Comm port 1 for the ACX 57XX and Comm 2 for the NCII and verify that the latest version of X Builder is running, which is Aperio2ndGen_100022. If you don't have this then please send an e-mail to the COE support group. Once all firmware have been upgraded and re-sent to the controller, retry the card again at the door. A Valid Entry should be given once the door has been opened.
