Issue Which Infinet controllers support flash backup? Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Infinet controllers i1 SCX, LCX, TCX & i2 Cause Not all controllers support flash backup. Resolution All i2 controllers can be backed up to flash but none of the i1 controllers SCX,LCX, TCX etc have flash memory fitted. Controllers with a grey icon (i2) on the Continuum Explorer view can be backed up to flash where the orange icons (i1) can not.

Issue Site has a third party BACnet router and B-OWS, want to connect brand new b3s on the MSTP of the BACnet router and configure an application in the b3s using the third party B-OWS. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment b3 Third party BACnet system Cause Documentation Resolution Configuring a new b3 using a BACnet system other than Continuum or EcoStruxure Building Operation is NOT supported. Brand new b3s are shipped from the factory without a valid master MAC id, which means the b3 will not participate on MSTP communications until it has been assigned a valid mac id via a proprietary LEARN mechanism. b3s do not support dynamic object creation of IO points or programs which can only be created using Schneider Electric's Continuum or EcoStruxure Building Operation BACnet BMS.

Issue What is difference between valve rangeability and turndown ratio? Product Line Field Devices Environment Valves Cause Definition of the terms helps explain the flow outcomes. Resolution Rangeability - maximum controllable flow divided by minimum controllable flow Turndown ratio - normal maximum system flow divided by minimum controllable flow.   Rangeability is the inherent characteristic of the valve and turndown ratio is the installed characteristic.

Issue How can I determine which comm port on my Infinity Controller has been Xdriver enabled. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Infinity Controller CX9900 (NC), CX9980 (NC2), bCX9640, bCX4040, ACX5720 ACX5740 XDriver, x-driver Cause Need to determine if the comm port(s) on a controller are XDriver enabled. Resolution View the controller options page in CyberStation or from the controllers webpage.  NC2 (NCII, NetController 2, CX9680) Option tab - example NC2 Xdriver Comm1 : 00000009 (0000)  (XDriver enable and but not loaded) Xdriver Comm2 : 00000000 (0000)  (XDriver not enabled) Xdriver Comm3 : 00000000 (0000)  (XDriver not enabled) Xdriver Comm4 : 00000000 (0000)  (XDriver not enabled)   bCX bCX9640 bCX4040 - NOT bCX4000 The bCX has two comms ports, the XDriver functions can be enabled on none, either or both at the time of ordering (add X1, X2 or X12) Option tab - example bCX Xdrvr Comm1:00000009 (DF23)  (XDriver enable and loaded) Xdrvr Comm2:00000000 (0000)  (XDriver not enabled) ACX ACX5720 ACX5740 The ACX57x0 has a single comm port, the XDriver functions can be enabled at the time of ordering (see the Option tab - example ACX57 Xdriver Comm1 : 00000009 (0000)  (XDriver enable and but not loaded) NOTES (00000000=XDriver not enabled, 00000001=CommPort only, 00000009=CommPort & Ethernet enable) The four digit number in bracket shows which Xdriver is load and corresponds to "Xdriver valid" at the bottom of the xdriver.xdr file. If Ethernet support is required on the port then this should be requested at the time of ordering. XDrivers like Modbus TCP/IP and Bacnet IP are loaded on to a comms port but communicate via the Ethernet port, therefore the XDriver Ethernet support needs to be enabled for these XDrivers to operate.

Issue The process of acquiring a license Entitlement ID and how to activate, release and/or transfer a license in EcoStruxure Building Operation Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation License Administrator Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation WorkStation Cause There are two different ways to activate a license and different types of licenses that can be purchased. Resolution This article discusses Building Operation Software licenses applied to software platforms such as EC, ES, and Workstation. For details on applying licenses on SmartX Server devices, refer to the Automation Server Licensing Workflow Webhelp topic and/or the Offline activation of embedded licenses Knowledge Base article.   Purchasing a License The licenses that can be purchased are listed in the Part Number Summary. After an order is placed, you will receive an email with an Entitlement ID certificate attached. For further details, see the Order Information Request Webhelp topic.   Evaluation Licenses Evaluation licenses are used for demonstration purposes, training, or site engineering. The evaluation license is a file that can be downloaded from the Exchange and is valid for up to 3 months. Refer to the Activating an EcoStruxure Building Operation Demo License webhelp topic for the activation process.   Activating an Entitlement ID Entitlements can be activated online or offline; however, the online method is far simpler and is preferred. The online method requires the computer that the License Administrator resides on have an internet connection. Online Activation If the computer that the License Administrator is installed on has an internet connection, then refer to the Activating EcoStruxure Building Operation Software Licenses Webhelp topic for the activation process. Offline Activation If the computer that the License Administrator is installed on does not have an internet connection and one can not be temporarily arranged, then refer to the License activation or repair without Internet access Knowledge base article. Once a license file or Entitlement ID has been activated, and the Status reads "Valid" in the License Administrator, the activation process has been completed. The license does not need to be re-hosted after an upgrade and will remain on the computer if the Building Operation Software is uninstalled and reinstalled. To check the status of the license server and licenses that have been activated on the local machine, the Flexnet License Administrator can be accessed by navigating to localhost:8888 in a web browser. The licensing system is the same as used in TAC Vista, which can be seen in License troubleshooting in Vista 5.1.8 or greater.   Returning an Entitlement ID License If the computer on which the License Administrator is being replaced, or it has major operating system changes. In that case, licenses may become invalid and should be returned before those changes. Entitlements can be returned online or offline; however, the online method is far simpler and is preferred. The online method requires the computer that the License Administrator resides on have an internet connection. Online License Return If the computer that the License Administrator is installed on has an internet connection, then refer to the Returning an EcoStruxure Building Operation Software License Webhelp topic for the return process. Offline License return If the computer that the License Administrator is installed on does not have an internet connection and one can not be temporarily arranged, then refer to the License activation or repair without Internet access Knowledge base article. Transferring an Entitlement ID License There is no separate process when transferring a license from one system to another.  Simply return the License from the current system as indicated above and then check that the available seat count has increased by one via the original Entitlement ID. Once returned, activate this same License on the new system as detailed earlier.   Note: Releasing and reactivating licenses can only be carried out a finite number of times per year (4 license returns each year) to prevent misuse of the licensing system.

Issue Error received when attempting to login to Vista Workstation:   Could not connect to Vista Server.  Login error. Or, error received when trying to login to Vista Server: Invalid entry. Username and/or password cannot be verified in the system. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Vista Workstation Cause The username or password is incorrect. Resolution Check the username and password and try again. Log in with the default System account (Username= system / Password= system), or any other $Administrators username.  Reset the user's password. Open Vista Server Setup and ensure the security level has not been changed on the Authority tab. If a Vista user account no longer works set the security level to "Low Level". If a NT account no longer works set the security level to "High Level". If all system level logins have been lost, contact Product Support.  Send a backup of the database to be unlocked.

Issue Modbus slaves are programmed according to device documentation, but either the wrong values are returned or error codes complaining about invalid address. Product Line TAC Vista Environment Xenta 913 Xenta 731 Xenta 511:B Cause The XBuilder Device Editor has two ways to address modbus registers. The improper usage of these methods can cause communication problems because the wrong register is polled. 1. Fixed Address Blocks This method combines the function code and register address to produce a single number format that serves multiple function codes. This is sometimes referred to as numerical notation. A poll of a holding register uses function 03 and an address from 00 00 to FF FF. When using Fixed Address Blocks a message of function code 03 and address 00 00 is displayed as 40001. Due to this combination it is limited to 9,999 addresses per function code. Type Function Code  Address  Coil Status  01  00001-9999  Input Status  02  10001-19999  Holding Register  03  40001-49999  Input Register  04  30001-39999 When the device editor is using Fixed Address Blocks then the numerical number is parsed from the Register in the following way. Register Function Code Address 1-9999 01 Register - 1 10001-19999 02 Register - 10001 30001-39999 04 Register - 30001 40001-49999 03 Register - 40001 2. Function Code Tables (Discrete Input, Coil, Input Register, Holding Register) This addressing format is closer to the actual protocol and keeps the function code separate from the register address. It also provides full use of the addresses from 0 to 65535. Table Function Code Discrete Input 02 Coil 01 Input Register 04 Holding Register 03   If the wrong format is used it can result in failure to communicate because the wrong register is used. For example polling register address 40010 on function code 03 when it should have been address 9 on function code 03. Resolution The documentation of the product being interfaced with is the best guide on the register addressing and the format they use. If the documentation does not directly specify the information then use the follow hints to guide your selection: Hints to use Function Code Tables Addresses that fall on zero (0, 10000, 30000, or 40001) Non binary data that is less then 30001 or greater then 40001. Devices states it is J-Bus. Register address is displayed in Hexadecimal format. Hints to use Fixed Address Blocks Any address register above 30000 or 40000, unless it claims to be a JBus device. If it is still unclear which addressing format to use then experiment with read only data and value pages in the Xenta Servers. Pick a point that you can easily confirm the value, add both address formats to a device template, and then confirm the proper format with a values page. Once you know how to read one point the rest of the product documentation is easier to work with.

Issue Basic Modbus RTU configuration to read a register from PM800 Power Meter. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Automation Server Modbus RTU PM800 Power Meter Cause Integrate power meters to a Building Operation front end for the user to view data and trend logs. Resolution Here are the steps to Configure a ModBus RTU interface in Building Operation to read the Line Voltage register from a PM800 Power Meter. (Assuming meter has already been properly wired to one of the serial ports on the AS) Create the Modbus Interface, in this case a Modbus Master Network.   Link the interface to a serial port in the AS in the Port Reference field, in this example to RTU device is wired to RS485-COMB   2. Under the interface create the RTU device. In this example the device id is 11, enter the appropriate id for the device. Once the device object is saved, the status should show 'Online' unless there is a communications issue. This is provided you have the online poll interval set. If this is disabled the device will stay offline until a Modbus register is polled and a valid response is received.    You can confirm that Building Operation is able to correctly detect the communications status of the device by disconnecting it from the commport and observing the status change to 'Offline', upon re-connection the status should once again display 'Online'   3. Under the device create a Modbus Point of type AnalogInput to get the value of the Line Voltage from the device. According to the documentation for the PM800 the register holding the line voltage is Function Code 3  and register  1124 The value of the point should now correspond to the line voltage in this case 125 volts.

Issue Can licenses be transferred in Security Expert? Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Cause Unsure if a single SSN can be authenticated on multiple PC's or if licenses can be transferred or moved. Resolution Each PC requires a separate SSN. These licenses can be transferred between PC's. As part of the licensing process, the hardware details of the computer are recorded against each SSN, so any hardware changes require re-licensing, this also means SSNs cannot be shared across computers, and if used on a virtual machine – it must be assigned a static MAC address. Licenses can be transferred between machines without issue, Product Support will add a registration onto the license and clear the hardware profile after receiving a request. The installer will then do a License Update from the Security Expert server.

Issue How to load up archived data in a report using Seven Reports Product Line TAC INET Environment I/NET Seven  SevenReports Archiving Cause Reports show nothing or have one blank page and fail to show data that meets the date window specified Resolution When using Seven Reports to view data, archived data can be viewed and put into a report.  From the Archives pull-down menu, Mount/Dismount the archive files. Files, by default, are stored in the c:\INET Seven Data\Arch folder. After mounting the needed reports (look at the date of the files in the archive folder), the report used must have the word ARCHIVE in the file name. This specifies that the reports will be pulled not from the current database but rather from the mounted files and on the dates specified. The reports should now be from the Archived files mounted. Archive Reports are located on the install CD under CD\Program Files\INET Seven\Reports To download, click on the link below and select to save the report to your hard disk in the c:\INET Seven Data\Reports folder:   I/NET Seven Release 2.20 and Prior files: ArchiveOverrideBillingSamples.rpt ArchiveRuntimeSamples.rpt ArchiveTransactionsDoors.rpt ArchiveTransactionsIndividuals.rpt ArchiveAnalogSamples.rpt ArchiveConsumptionSamples.rpt ArchiveDemandSamples.rpt ArchiveDiscreteSamples.rpt   I/NET Release 2.21 to current: ArchiveAnalogSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveConsumptionSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveDemandSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveDiscreteSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveOverrideBillingSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveRuntimeSamples_xi.rpt ArchiveTransactionsDoors_xi.rpt ArchiveTransactionsIndividuals_xi.rpt   Tip: In some instances, while the report is running and the data is being compiled, if you move the mouse or strike a key, the process starts all over. The solution is to start the report and wait for a few minutes if you have input a broad range of data to search and produce.

Issue How can a BACnet system be customized to maximize data throughput?  The site has a Niagara R2 Enterprise Server and a UNC with a variety of MSTP controllers connected to the UNC. Environment Niagara R2 Enterprise UNC MSTP controllers Cause Improper configurations won't achieve optimum performance. Resolution This can be a relatively complicated question, however, there are a number of basic steps that can be taken in terms of best practices to enhance performance. Within the UNC station, any BACnet objects that are not needed are to be deleted. During the learn of a BACnet controller, many objects are learned that are not used. All BACnet objects when learned into a station are placed in Poll-Always containers. All but the most critical objects, schedules and trended objects are to be moved to Poll-on-Demand containers. All controllers on the MSTP bus should be consecutively addressed.  Gaps in addressing add delay in communications. The MaxMaster setting in all controllers, including the UNC, is to be set to a numeric value two greater than the highest MSTP controller address on the network. To leave MaxMaster at 127 but only have 20 controllers on the network will also add delays in communications looking for the other non-existent 107 controllers. The MaxInfoFrames setting in the UNC or MNB-1000 is to be set to a number higher than 5 but no more than 20. This setting determines how many pieces of information can be requested each time the UNC or MNB-1000 receives the token on the MSTP bus. The default value is 1 and if left at this value the system will be sluggish with updating values on graphic screens. The range of 5 to 20 is given as a starting point for experimenting and each system will be different depending on the number of controllers and what data is being requested.  Lab tests have shown there is a performance curve with an optimum point.  Starting at a value of 5, performance increases as the value increases.  Performance will then peak and any further increase to the setting will result in a performance reduction.  As a result, stay above 5 but less than 20. Refer to the document titled "I/A Series MicroNet BACnet Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide" (F-27360) for additional information.

Issue What is Domain Name Service (DNS)? Product Line Andover Continuum,EcoStruxure Access Expert,EcoStruxure Building Expert,EcoStruxure Building Operation,EcoStruxure Security Expert,Satchwell BAS & Sigma,Satchwell MicroNet,TAC IA Series,TAC INET,TAC Vista Environment TCP/IP Networks Cause DNS is a distributed hierarchical system for resolving host names into IP address. Under DNS, there is no central database with all of the Internet host information. The information is distributed among thousands of name servers organized into a hierarchy similar to the UNIX file system. DNS has a root domain at the top of the domain hierarchy that is served by a group of name servers called the root servers. Source: TCP/IP Network Administration by Craig Hunt, O’Reilly & Associates, Inc. Resolution Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

Issue When using CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing) or Supernetting it is not always obvious what range of IP addresses can be used. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Device Administrator Building Commissioning Tool Cause When subnet masks with values other than 255 are used it is not always obvious what is the range of valid IP addresses allowed.  There is a need for an easy way to determine the range of valid IP addresses for the Subnet Mask being used. Resolution The IP address range can be calculated mathematically but the simplest method is to use a subnet calculator.  The website links below are both examples that will calculate the range of valid addresses for any specified subnet value.   http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html   Visit either of the websites for a CIDR / Supernet calculator, enter an IP addresses in the network along with a subnet mask and the calculator will provide the range of addresses that can be used within the subnet.   In addition to online calculators, a number of different subnet-calculator programs are available for Android, Apple and Windows Smartphones.
