Issue How to use AutoCAD layout in TGML Graphic Product Line TAC Vista Environment Vista 5.1.9 and earlier versions of Vista 5 TGML Graphic AutoCAD Cause Sometimes it is necessary to use the AutoCAD layout in TGML graphic, for example, to use the plant layout as a background. The official support for importing AutoCAD files was removed early in the life of TGML. It can’t be guaranteed that EVERY file will import without a problem, so it is an unsupported feature. Resolution The following steps need to be followed: Open the drawing in AutoCAD Save as .DXF Open TGML Editor File Open the .DXF A screen should pop up saying converting DXF to SVG followed by converting SVG to TGML It is recommended to use the "Create path" command in the Object window in TGML for the converted graphic. Because the response speed of the computer will be very slow if used without this action. Note: Line widths and text will be in disorder because they are not imported along with the object. If the DXF file fails to import, here are some steps to try: Move every object in AutoCAD to a single layer Delete all unused layers in AutoCAD "Explode" complex objects in AutoCAD

Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support Services for assistance. Issue Access Event Viewer running in a CyberStation other than the primary access server works initially but after some period of time stops displaying access events. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CyberStation MSMQ Cause Product support has identified several scenarios that can result in Cyberstations other than the primary not showing events in the Live Event Viewer. The commonality with all these cases is that the Primary Access Server(PAS) will always show the events, so before using any of the solutions specified below make sure that is ONLY workstations other than the PAS that are not displaying events in their Live Event Viewer   NOTE also, that we are referring strictly to the Live Event Viewer in this article so it is assumed events are showing in a list view including the Access Events tab that shows events in the door's editor.   CAUSE #1 (Primary failed over to Secondary then back to Primary) In systems configured with a Primary and secondary Access Server (SAS), it has been found that after a failover to the SAS due to the PAS going offline, event viewers in other workstations continue to show events UNTIL the PAS WS returns online and resumes its role of PAS at which point all workstations (other than the PAS) stop displaying events in their Live Event Viewers.   CAUSE #2 (MSMQ issue reported and fixed by Microsoft) Continuum running under MS Windows 7, Vista or MS Windows Server 2008 (including R2) Access event viewers at Cyberstations other than the PAS do not show events. Alarms acknowledged at one CyberStation would remain unacknowledged in the other CyberStations.  Please see MSMQ issue causes Alarms and Access Event delivery problems between CyberStations for more information.   ISSUE #3 MSMQ CleanupInterval setting is too short. Resolution SOLUTION #1 First, make sure the ControllerStatus notification object is configured to send the offline alarm to all the Workstations in question. Second, put a PE program in the SAS to serve as a monitor to let the Live Event Viewer know when the PAS has returned online, this is accomplished by referencing an object from the PAS  SAMPLE PE POGRAM SOLUTION #2  (MSMQ issue reported and fixed by Microsoft) Click MSMQ issue causes Alarms and Access Event delivery problems between CyberStations for more information.   SOLUTION #3 In the Windows registry add the key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters\CleanupInterval The recommended setting is 3600000 which is the number of milliseconds in an hour   For additional information about the CleanupIntervalKey, see the following article from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms703235(VS.85).aspx

Issue Which Continuum versions support an NC2(9680)? Procedure for replacing a CX99xx with a CX9680 Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CX9940 CX9900 NetController 2 NCII CX9680 Cause Netcontroller II (CX9680) is supported in Continuum versions 1.80 and higher Resolution Upgrade the site to Continuum 1.80 or higher for NC2 support   Procedure for converting an NetController1 (NC1/99xx) to a NetcontrollerII (NC2/9680) To convert a NetController to a NetController II, perform the following steps:   Back up your SQL Server database. See the Andover Continuum CyberStation Installation Guide, 30- 3001-720, and Microsoft® SQL server documentation. From the Continuum Explorer, use the right-click popup menu for this controller, and select Send to Text File. This drops the controller object’s data into a text file. For various ways to customize this operation, whereby you can save the controller’s child objects, please see the Send to Database Options in the CyberStation online help. Update your workstation with a version of CyberStation that supports the newer NetController models. These models are supported by CyberStation Version 1.8 and higher. Physically remove the old NetController, and mount/connect your NetController II. When you configure and commission the NetController II, use the same controller name, network IP address, and network ID. This is performed via the controller’s embedded web commissioning pages and via the General tab and the Network tab of the CyberStation’s Infinity Controller editor. Switch to CyberStation offline editing mode in the InfinityController editor. On the General tab, from the Controller Type dropdown menu, change the model number to 9680 or 9681, depending on which NetController II you are installing. Make sure you actually want to replace the NetController. When you attempt to change the controller model, Cyberstation displays a few warning messages: Cyberstation warns that a model change is irreversible. Cyberstation warns that, if an XDriver is used with this controller, not all XDrivers are supported by the new model. If you proceed, the XDriver links are left in place regardless of the availability of a replacement Xdriver. XDrivers on NetController II — In general, Xdrivers that are available on the bCX1 model 9640 are also supported on the NetController II. For example, supported NetController II XDrivers include, but are not limited to, the following: Filter XdTest Modbus TCP Modbus RTU XDrivers built for the previous-generation NetControllers will not run on the NetController II. What is an XDriver? An XDriver is special, customized software that your site purchases separately from TAC. The XDriver software allows your controller to connect to and communicate with a special piece of third-party equipment needed at your site. In the CyberStation CommPort editor, you must configure a controller comm port for this special device that the XDriver software enables. * When you leave the InfintyController editor, go back to online editing mode. If necessary, provide an updated XDriver file compatible with your NetController II. CyberStation prompts you to do this. Note: You can specify an XDriver on the General tab of the CommPort editor. Specify XDriver for the Default Mode, and use the browse button in the XDriver File Name field to search for and specify the path of the XDriver. Determine whether this NetController II has network security. If so, configure network security for this controller. Note: Network Security is supported only in NetController II model 9680, as well as ACX controllers 5720 and 5740. Restore (reload) data from your database into the new controller. From CyberStation’s Continuum Explorer, use the Object dropdown menu or right-click the object popup menu for this controller object, and select Send to Controller. Back up to flash. In Continuum Explorer, right-click over this controller, and from the container popup menu, select Backup to Flash. This saves the controller’s RAM configuration to its flash memory, in accordance with the attribute value that is set for the ACCRestartMode system variable.

Issue Enhanced and Standard Alarm Delivery Explained Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Cyberstation Cause Information on the difference between Enhanced Alarm Delivery and Standard Alarm Delivery feature. Resolution Standard Alarm Delivery:   Prior to Continuum 1.7, alarms were delivered from the controller to each workstation on the network as long as a  Cyberstation is online (from the controller's perspective) AND if the Cyberstation is a recipient of the alarm or not.   The first workstation which receives the alarm logs it to the SQL database. The alarm is broadcast and if for some reason it doesn't get logged there is no guarantee it will be delivered to any Cyberstastion. It gets broadcast once.   Enhanced Alarm Delivery: The alarm engine was changed so that alarms could be delivered to Workstations that were temporarily offline. To accomplish this Continuum implemented Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ).   The controllers generate alarms based on criteria set up in alarm enrollments. These are logged in the database by the first workstation that receives the alarm which then hands it off to MSMQ for delivery to all workstations in the recipient list. The controller still sends the alarms to all online workstations. If a workstation is offline, alarms are stored in an outgoing MSMQ queue that will be delivered once the Cyberstation is back online.   Acc.App.AlarmServer.exe (Alarm Delivery Server) is the process that handles alarms and hands them off to MSMQ which is handled by the Windows Message Queuing service.   To view MSMQ queues, go to [Windows Control Panel>Security Settings]> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Services and Applications> Message Queuing   Enabling Enhanced Alarm Delivery when upgrading or with a new install This is accomplished by leaving the default checkbox for Enhanced Alarm Delivery selected in the database initialization step on a new install or when upgrading to a version greater than 1.7x. MSMQ will then be installed as part of the Cyberstation installation or upgrade.   Note: If the Enhanced Alarm Logging checkbox is not checked initially, the Enhanced Alarm Delivery checkbox may become unselectable. See Installing Continuum Database for the First Time on a Multi-User LAN System in the Installation Guide   Enabling enhanced alarm delivery in a system that doesn’t have the checkbox selectable 1. Manually Install MSMQ Start> Run> type cmd then click OK (to open a command prompt) At the DOS prompt type cd\ then enter (places the cursor at the root) cd \program files\continuum\install then enter Type cscript MSMQInstall.js then enter (Windows component wizard Installs MSMQ) When the script is finished, one of the lines will indicate that MSMQ started successfully Type exit 2. Updating the database Note: Ensure you have a recent database backup before the next step Run Database Initialization Select Server if LAN or Stand Alone accordingly Select Enhanced Alarm Delivery checkbox Select update existing database and then click continue Restart all Cyberstations (If ALL aren't restarted, the system can still be in mixed mode)   3. LAN installation  Manually install MSMQ on each Cyberstation according to the instructions above (step 1). MSMQ will now be used for guaranteed alarm delivery.     Caution: Make sure that all Cyberststations in the database are restarted after Enhanced Alarm Delivery was selected and the DB Update performed!    Not restarting a Cyberstation puts the system at risk of using workstations with both types of alarm delivery (PSS may refer to this as MIXED MODE).   If all but one of the Cyberstations gets restarted and a Continuum User changes the alarm delivery mode and then a Cyberstation gets restarted later, the system  will be in mixed mode.   Uninstalling MSMQ Uninstalling MSMQ on a workstation (if needed at some point) Go to Control Panel> Add/Remove Windows Components> Deselect Message Queuing Say Yes to the warning message Reboot Also, check the following: Add a column to the alarm list view check the loggingWSId and see if the alarms are being delivered to another workstation that is no longer used. If it is no longer needed delete that Workstation which should correct this issue.

Issue Can the damper feedback function be calculated using Plain English based on the drive time of the damper? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum i2866-V Controller Continuum b3866-V Controller Cause For this controller application, information about the vav damper position is required.   Resolution Only the i2866-v and the b3866-v provide integrated damper feedback.    When using other controller models such as the i2865 or the b3865, an approximation of the damper position can be calculated by adding the damper pulse value to the drive time.   Whenever the damper output is driven to the closed position, a pulse equal to the full damper drive time should be sent to the output and the damper position is reset to 0%.   Whenever the damper output is driven to the fully open position, a pulse equal to the full damper drive time is sent to the output and the damper position is reset to 100%.   Because this method of calculating the position of the damper is only an approximation, it should not be used for critical applications.

Issue In EBO BACnet device discovery, how is the BACnet MAC address defined? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Enterprise Server Cause A BACnet device is uniquely identified by a network number and a MAC address. Resolution BACnet MS/TP A BACnet MS/TP device supports device MAC addresses in the range 0-127 for masters and 0-254 for slaves. Device MAC addresses are often configured using DIP switches or a configuration tool.   BACnet/IP MAC addresses for BACnet/IP devices are a combination of the IP address and BACnet/IP UDP Port expressed in hexadecimal notation. For example, if a BACnet/IP device is configured with an IP address of 192.168.1.5 and a UDP port of 47808 then:   IP address expressed in hexadecimal is 192 = C0, 168 = A8, 1 = 01, 5 = 05 UDP port expressed in hexadecimal is 47808 = BAC0   Therefore the MAC address will be, C0:A8:01:05:BA:C0   BACnet/SC BACnet/SC nodes are identified by their 6-octet virtual MAC (VMAC) address in form of a IEEE EUI-48 identifier which is randomly generated. A BACnet/SC device attempts to resolve its own VMAC in the network. If it detects another device is already using this VMAC, it will generate a new Random-48 VMAC address and try again.

Issue How do you see what authentication settings Security Expert was installed with? Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Client/Server Authentication Cause When installing the Security Expert Client/Server three authentication settings for the Client to Server connection can be specified: To connect to the Security Expert Server using additional software, such as Data Sync or SOAP, the current authentication is needed so the additional software authentication can be set the same.  However, if this was not recorded at installation the only way to be 100% sure is to remove and reinstall. Resolution Navigate to the existing Security Expert installation folder:    C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Security Expert   Depending on the installed components there will be a file called either: SecurityExpertSV.exe.config - where only the Server component is installed SecurityExpert.exe.config - where only the Workstation component is installed Note: both files will be available if the Server and Workstation are installed on the same machine   Either file can be used.  Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad to find the current Security Settings used in the original installation. In the example below the authentication setting used was TLS 1.2 As illustrated in the image above the information is between the <netTcpBinding> tags.  The image below illustrates the settings for the three possible authentication types.  Look for the <security> tags to identify the authentication used:

Issue Continuum Graphics (Pinpoint): How do point updates take place and how can I change the update interval and polling speed? Is it different for BACnet points? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Pinpoint Graphics Bacnet Cause How do point updates take place and how can I change the update interval and polling speed? Resolution In Cyberstation V1.71 and greater, the graphics polling engine was significantly changed. Prior to this change, the Pinpoint application would poll the points within its graphic file directly. If several graphics were open, each graphic would perform its own polling, This engine also applied to Web.client. Each control on the graphic had a separate selection where you could set the polling rate on a per-point basis on the miscellaneous tab of each control. This was the only method to adjust the point polling interval. The main reason for the graphic engine change was for Web.Client graphics. Slow networks, multiple browsers accessing the same graphics, and slow browser machines could make Web.Client graphics unacceptably slow.   The current method to get data into graphics involves a separate graphics polling engine per workstation. When one or more graphics are opened on a workstation or a Web.Client IIS server, the graphics register the points into the polling engine on that workstation. The polling engine then begins updating the values and sends the data to the Pinpoint/web.pinpoint clients. After initially sending all the data values to the graphic, it then only sends the data that has changed since the last update in an XML document format. If several graphics are requesting the same point values, the data is only polled once for all the Pinpoint clients on that workstation or Web.Client. Efficiency was also achieved by registering the points in the polling engine which allowed the polling engine to decrease the number of data requests by 50% to retrieve the same data.   There are now additional settings to adjust the polling rates in a graphic. #11 General preferences "Time interval between requests" This is a global setting and affects all workstations. By default, all polled points which are in the polling queue are sequentially updated at a continuous rate with a default delay between requests of 30 milliseconds. It is often recommended to set this to 100ms (Additional considerations below  under Multiple Cyberstation graphics performance)   General Preferences are accessed by Right Clicking on the Continuum icon in the Windows system tray and selecting General Preferences     There are also a pair of settings in the workstation preferences: #24 Pinpoint active polling rate #25 Pinpoint inactive polling rate These settings are for each workstation individually and do not affect the polling rates of the polling engine, but merely determine how often the graphic requests data updates from the polling engine based on whether a panel is or is not the active window. Typically these settings can be left at their defaults R&D has indicated that #24 is not used as Pinpoint always uses the inactive polling rate whether the window is active or not. Therefore, adjust #25 "Pinpoint inactive polling rate".  It is recommended to set this to keep this at the default of 250ms.   Cyberstation Preferences are accessed by Right Clicking on one of the Cyberstations while logged into Continuum and selecting Edit   Multiple Cyberstation graphics performance Several workstations may be configured to display graphics that are pointing to the same controllers and the controllers being polled may be on a large Infinet or MSTP network. In this case, the controllers could be overwhelmed by simultaneous data requests from the different workstations, slowing down controller scans, the whole field bus and overall system performance. R&D indicates that when multiple Cyberstation Graphics are used there is some randomness as to how the polling requests are accomplished. If graphic or system performance is an issue, it is suggested that another 30 Milliseconds is added to the general preferences "Time interval between requests" (#11) and then measure system performance and add additional time if needed up to 500ms.   When using this setting it is necessary to consider how many Cybersations would be running simultaneous graphics. For example:4 workstations polling graphics simultaneously with "x" number of points in it for 1 Netcontroller could have about 20 requests per second (determined via Wireshark capture at the NC NIC) 30 ms per X 4 Cyber =120ms added In this case, the recommendation was to set the "Time interval between requests" value to 250ms for performance   Note: Individual millisecond settings in each point do not effect polling for the point. They are not used.   BACnet points Bacnet points can be managed differently. Continuum BACnet points can either be polled the same way that Standard continuum points are polled or by using a COV. Standard polling is done by using the point objects from the "Infinity" side of the object tree. If you want to use COV for the point updates which is much more efficient, you should use the "BACnet Points" in the graphic, from the BACnet side of the object tree. The polling engine will then subscribe for COV updates to the respective controllers. When the graphic is closed the polling engine will unsubscribe the COVs. Third-Party BACnet controllers have an additional method to adjust the poll frequency. If the third-party BACnet controller supports COV subscriptions, Cyberstation will subscribe to these points as COV's like the Continuum BACnet controllers however, if the devices do not support COV's their points will be polled. Since many third-party BACnet controllers cannot withstand frequent data requests, there are two additional settings on the BACnet device object editor. The settings are on the Details tab on third-party BACnet controllers only. 1. Max # of Async requests The max # Async requests specify how many requests we should send before we get a reply to the data request, or how many requests can I queue. Typically this should be set to 1. 2. Request interval in ms  The request interval setting will depend on the device. Does it use Ethernet or MSTP network architecture? Are you running "Enhanced MSTP"? How many third-party devices are on the mstp network that cannot run enhanced MSTP? Typically it would be safe to set this in the 1000 to 5000 ms range based on desired data update rates and the controller's capability to handle the polling.

Issue Examples of Permissions for specific actions needed for Access Expert Product Line EcoStruxure Access Expert Environment Access Expert V3 Hosted Cause How to configure permissions in Access Expert for specific actions Resolution Permissions - Examples (User Groups)   Overview The Permission model in Keep is based on granular permissions at the API level. To review the Permissions basics, visit the User Group page. This article will break down permissions by the desired action within the Keep by Feenics application. *Note: The API level permissions mean that once permissions are set up in the windows client, they apply to the web client and mobile client.    Permissions Options The 5 options on individual permissions are listed below.   Create Read Update Delete Publish To ‘save’ a new object. To view existing objects. Once the object is created, changes can be made. To remove objects. Allows events related to the object to be published in the system. Example: publishing a pulse reader command requires the ability to Publish on that reader. Examples The examples listed below are showing the minimum requirements to do the action listed. To be able to do multiple actions, combine the listed permissions. How to log in to Instance Instance – Read   View Event History Event Message - Read    View Live Monitoring Event Message - Read   Acknowledge Events This permission group allows a user to view Live Monitor and Event History, open the Alarm, Acknowledge the Alarm, view the Person image associated with the alarm, and attach images to the alarm. Instance - Read Event Message – Read and Update Image - Read Person - Read Unlock Door Instance - Read User - Publish Controller - Read and Publish Downstream - Read and Publish Reader - Read and Publish Event Types: Mercury Commands - Unlock *Note: To Change the action allowed, simply change the Mercury Command allowed.   Update Reader Modes This permission group allows a user to view Live Monitor and Event History, open and modify reader modes. Instance - Read Event Message – Read Reader - Read, Update, Publish Add and Remove Linking Schedule - Read and Publish Add and Remove Linking Trigger - Read, Update, and Publish Add and Remove Linking on all object types. Procedure - Read, Update, and Publish Add and Remove Linking Downstream - Read and Publish Controller - Read and Publish Add and Remove Linking   To Add and Remove Favourites All Types - Add and Remove in Linking Column Add Widgets Keep Object - Read and Update Print Badges Badge type - Read Badge type field - Read (Note:If you are only allowing tagged badges, the badge type field must not have a tag associated). Image - Read Person - Read *Note: If the user needs to assign the badge type, then the "Add" column in the Linking section for Badge types must be selected on the Person permission.   To Play Sounds Image - Read Generic - Read Run "Access Request Report" (Reports on a persons access granted and denied events that day on ALL or specified  readers.)
