Configuring BACnet trend reports.

Issue Does Continuum support multiple object trend reports? How can I display a report that shows the trend data for multiple objects. Environment Continuum CyberStation BACnet TrendLogs Cause While trend data for a single BACnet point can be reported from the TrendLog object by selecting View Report from the Data page of the TrendLog object editor, it is usually necessary to display comparative trend data from multiple points. Resolution Since BACnet points themselves do not store trend data the way Infinity points do, BACnet requires that another object, the TrendLog object, be used to store this data in the controller.  The trend data for a single object can be viewed by selecting View Report from the Data page of the TrendLog object editor to which the point is attached.  Continuum Report objects can be used to view BACnet trend data. Unlike Infinity points, BACnet points are not added to the Report objects member list  since BACnet points contains no trend data.  Instead the TrendLog object which has been configured for, and to which the BACnet point has been attached, is added to the Continuum Report TrendLog member list. Multiple TrendLog objects can be added to the member list of a Continuum Report. The member list is the Trend Log window found on the Filter page of the Report object editor.   The configuration of the Report object editor should be as follows. Data Source: Current Value Report Type:  SnapShot of Trend Log buffer contents. Chart Type:  Text (data schedule)  or Trend (graph)

Using BACnet Multistate points within Continuum

Issue Using BACnet Multistate points within Continuum Environment Continuum BACnet Cause Can't use Multistate points values to trigger graphics or other objects Resolution A third Party Multistate BACnet object needs to be mapped to a Continuum Infinity Numeric before it can be read as number. A third Party Multistate BACnet object may be read as State 1, State 2, state 3 or On, Off, -On or other values These should be either mapped to Infinity Strings or Numerical to be displayed or measures as required. eg. ContinuumNum = BACnetFullPath\PointName (if a number is required) Then a ContinuumString can be set based on the ContinuumNum value if the text read from the third party point requires modifying. Other MultiState Bacnet Notes When setting the value of a third party Multistate Bacnet Objects eg "Heat", "Cool", "Auto", "Off", try using an integer ie WriteProperty(Bacnet Object, 4, 1) rather than WriteProperty(Bacnet Object, Heat, 1) Note: Some 3rd party bacnet devices default their multi-state values to 0 instead of 1. Cyberstation will not accept a default value of 0. Get the 3rd party vendor to set the default to 1 if possible.

Infinity Schedule objects can only be configured to control local InfinityNumerics or InfinityOutputs.

Issue When configuring an Infinity Schedule, why can't I select an object from another controller for the Occupancy Point? Environment Continuum CyberStation WebClient Schedules InfinityController Cause Trying to configure a schedule to control a remote point. Resolution Infinity Schedule objects must control points that reside in the controller in which the schedule resides. Continuum will not allow you to browse to or select points that reside in controllers other than the controller that the schedule resides in.

BCX, CX, ACX controllers go offline when doing the "teach" procedure (during the reload process or not) then go back online.

Issue In some situations, netcontrollers including BCX,CX, and ACX controllers will go offline when doing "teach" and then go back online after a couple of minutes. When reloading the controller, during the period of "teach", controllers go offline. Controller is online with Cyberstation but goes offline during the reload, reloading by class (Numerics, inputs etc) works fine. Environment Cyberstation 1.90~1.93 Windows XP sp3, Windows 7 professional. Cause 1. Some offline cyberstation has same IP address or Network ID as the cyberstation which you are doing the "teach" 2. Also caused by Cyberstation configured for DHCP instead of static ip address Resolution SOLUTION  1: Get rid off the offline cyberstation in the system, or modify ID address and Network ID of your cyberstation. Restart Continuum SOLUTION 2: Assign static IP address to the Cyberstation.

What are the possible values of a door's DoorFault attribute?

Issue Decoding information from the door's DoorFault attribute value. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CyberStation CX9702 CX9680 ACX5740 ACX5720 ACX701 ACX781 Cause The door's DoorFault attribute value is a weighted bit map that encodes information about a problem with the door as a whole or with one or both sides of a single reader/dual reader door. Resolution The attribute is a bitmap that contains the following data: Door Fault Codes BIT VALUE DESCRIPTION 1 1 ACX Database Fault 2 2 Entry Keypad Tamper 3 4 Exit Keypad Tamper 4 8 Entry Reader Bit Fault 5 16 Exit Reader Bit Fault 6 32 Bond Sensor Violation 7 64 Unused 8 128 Unused   For example, a value of 2 indicates a keypad tamper at the entry reader, a value of 4 is a keypad tamper at the exit reader, 6 is keypad tamper at both readers and so on. Note: The AlarmEnrollment Alarmed Attribute has a dropdown box that includes Doorfault. Ignore that. Set The AlarmEnrollment Alarmed Attribute to be Value and the Expression to be DoorFault = 2 in order to alarm a keypad tamper at the entry reader.

Does Continuum support using a CSV file import to create object types other than Personnel objects?

Issue Can you import a csv file to create infinity controllers. Environment CyberStation Personnel Objects CSV Excel Cause To create objects in Continuum by importing a text file. Resolution A CSV import file can be used to create objects of most classes.  The CSV file must contain the at least three lines A line establishing the class of the objects that are to be created A header line describing the order of the attributes in subsequent lines with each attribute name separated by a comma. A line stating the value of each attribute separated by a comma.  If objects of more than one class are created a new section of the CSV file must be created beginning with the objects class.

Issue Wants to have LO-2 with external momentary input switch works with schedule object of Continuum. Such as, when the input is ON and the schedule is ON then the PE program turns the lighting output to ON. Environment NetController(CX99xx & CX9680) IOU module (LO-2) Cause LO-2 provides 2 inputs (the 2 Class II Low Voltage override inputs) for direct control of lighting relays but no input signals are not available on LO-2 or NetController.  Resolution Use other input IOU modules such as UI8 or DI8 for the lighting control switch input, and create a PE program to check the input together with the schedule numeric value before turning the lighting control output value to ON or OFF.

i2 controllers randomly go offline then back online 10 minutes later. During this period of showing as offline, all points under the i2 controller can be viewed.

Issue i2 controllers randomly go offline then back online 10 minutes later. During this period of showing as offline, all points under the i2 controller can be viewed. Environment Continuum i2xxx Controllers Netcontroller II (CX9680) Cause After an i2 controller goes offline on a noisy Infinet, the Netcontroller II can miss receiving the reconfig of the i2 controller coming back online. It fails to see the i2 controller come back online but still continues passing requests down to it and receiving responses. After 10 minutes of not receiving the token, the i2 controller announces that it is on the bus. At this point the Netcontroller II gets the controller online message and the network reconfigures again bringing in this controller to the token pass. Resolution This has been fixed in a new build of the Netcontroller II v2.100031 which can be found at the link below. Netcontroller II v2.100031

Select "Send To -> Text File..." and provide a file name. In the resulting dump file you will see that the KeyRings attribute shows the enabled groups in binary encoded hexadecimal. Group1 corresponds to bit1, Group2 to bit2 and so on; the KeyRings value is the hexadecimal representation of this binary value.

Issue What is the maximum number of Network Controllers (InfinityController object) that I can have in my Continuum Database? Environment Continuum Cyberstation Cause Site expansion. What is the maximum number of Network Controllers (Netcontroller, ACX, etc...) that the system can grow too. Resolution There is no logical limit. Although you can only have up to 190 in one network folder. That is because the ACCNetID’s for controllers only go up to 190, after 190 controllers you will need to create a new Network object to house any new Network Controllers.
