Can more than one MS41-7153 actuator be paralleled when being driven by a MNB series controller?

Issue Can more than one MS41-7153 actuator be paralleled when being driven by a MNB series controller? Environment MNB series controller Several MS41-7153 actuators controlled by a common signal. Cause Series of parallel dampers are to be controlled by the same control signal. Resolution Yes several MS41-7153 actuators can be driven by the analog output from a MNB series controller. There are two acceptable methods of providing parallel control. 1. Control the first actuator using either the voltage output or current output from the controller and cascade control from the feedback AO of one actuator into the AI of the next actuator.  The AO of the last actuator should be routed back to the controller to provide feedback confirmation of the damper operation.  In this way should any damper fail, the feedback will indicate that one (or more) of the actuators did not drive to the desired position.  Using this method there is theoretically no limit to the number of actuators that could be driven from one controller AO output.  When controlling a series of actuators in this manner, you must make sure that the power to the actuators are phased correctly, especially if using more than one transformer.   2. Alternate method for use with four or less actuators.  Up to four actuators may be driven using the 4-20 ma drive from the controller.  The 500 ohm resistor should be connected across the actuator wired closest to the controller.  When using this method, and more than two actuators are being parallel controlled, the resistance of the parallel resistor may need to be increased slightly or the drive signal may need to be increased by as much as 2.5% to make up for the parallel resistance effect of the 80 k-ohm input impedance of the actuators.

Should I use a UPS for the system and supply the controllers from it?

Issue Can I use a uninterruptible power supply for controllers? UPS Environment site requiring constant power supply or unstable power from grid and need to take into account power supplies Cause Can I use the CX99-PSU-BATT for an ACX5720 controller? If not, then what can I use if the customer wants a UPS for each controller. Should I use a big UPS for the system and supply the controllers from it?   Resolution The CX99-PSU-BATT is 70VA 120/240VAC and really designed for the CX9900 PSU. It is suggested to get one of our APC UPS and run the proper voltage transformer to the ACX5720. The ACX 57xx series is rated with a 24VAC 90VA or 12-28VDC 50W on the power supply which I recommend due to devices which connect to this controller and require power. i.e. door readers UPS or uninterruptible power supplies are available from APC by Schneider Electric.  Background The power drawn by computing equipment is expressed in Watts or Volt-Amps (VA). The power in Watts is the real power drawn by the equipment. Volt-Amps is called the "apparent power" and is the product of the voltage applied to the equipment times the current drawn by the equipment. Both Watt and VA ratings have a use and purpose. The Watt rating determines the actual power purchased from the utility company and the heat loading generated by the equipment. The VA rating is used for sizing wiring and circuit breakers. The VA and Watt ratings for some types of electrical loads, like incandescent light bulbs, are identical. However, for computer equipment the Watt and VA ratings can differ significantly, with the VA rating always being equal to or larger than the Watt rating. The ratio of the Watt to VA rating is called the "Power Factor" and is expressed either as a number (i.e. 0.7) or a percentage (i.e. 70%). The power rating of the UPS UPS have both Watt ratings and VA ratings. Neither the Watt nor the VA rating of a UPS may be exceeded. In most cases, UPS manufacturers only publish the VA rating of the UPS. However, it is a standard in the industry that the Watt rating is approximately 60% of the VA rating, this being the typical power factor of common loads. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the Watt rating of the UPS is 60% of the published VA rating. How to avoid sizing errors Using APC sizing guidelines or and APC Configuration can help avoid these problems, as the load power values are verified. Equipment nameplate ratings are often in VA, which makes it difficult to know the Watt ratings. If using equipment nameplate ratings for sizing, a user might configure a system which appears to be correctly sized based on VA ratings but actually exceeds the UPS Watt rating. By sizing the VA rating of a load to be no greater than 60% of the VA rating of the UPS, it is impossible to exceed the Watt rating of the UPS. Therefore, unless you have high certainty of the Watt ratings of the loads, the safest approach is to keep the sum of the load nameplate ratings below 60% of the UPS VA rating. Note that this conservative sizing approach will typically give rise to an oversized UPS and a larger run time than expected. If optimization of the system and an accurate run time are required, use APC sizing and Worldwide Web configuration tools.

TAC Xenta group master is online but not the other Xenta devices in the group

Issue The TAC Xenta group master is online but not the other Xenta devices in the group. Product Line TAC Vista Environment TAC Vista 5.1.x Classic network Menta 5.1.x Cause The TAC Xenta Group Master is a TAC Xenta 301/302/401/901 (in the TAC Xenta Group) that monitors the on-line and off-line status of the TAC Group and its members. The Group Master forwards the on-line and off-line information to TAC Vista. If devices have been added it's possible that  the current group isn't updated. Resolution The entire Xenta group must know it has a new device for proper communication to occur. To accomplish this download the applications and parameters to the entire group.  If the Group master goes offline, the whole group will be considered off-line by TAC Vista. The separate on-line group members, however, can send alarms and other information directly to TAC Vista as usual. Information about resolving this issue with an LNS network can be found in Xenta Programmable Device is Offline in Vista but Online in LonMaker.

Configure Time Zone and UTC Offset settings so that time is synchronized across your system

Issue How to properly configure Time Zone and UTC Offset settings in Cyberstations and controllers. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Cyberstation Continuum Controllers Cause There are a number of locations for time configuration settings, creating uncertainty as to what needs to be set, and where, to maintain the correct time in all devices. Resolution How to sync controller time with WS time with Server time. Set the correct UTC offset (time zone) in all of the below locations: Confirm Cyberstation(s) PC time zone (UTC offset) and regional settings are correct. [This has no effect on time synchronization but does have an effect on what time alarms and events are written to the database as well as when alarms will be delivered to Cyberstations] Confirm the SQL Server PC time zone (GMT settings) and regional settings are correct. [same as 1 above] In Continuum, the Workstations Device object's Time tab has the correct time zone setting (be aware this is in minutes, ex. GMT+10 = +600 minutes.) In Continuum, the Network folder has a setting for the time zone, this needs to be configured to the time zone the controllers are located. If GMT+10 then this gets set to +600. Note1: To synchronize controller time to Workstations time a program needs to be created in one WS that sets the Date object of the Netcontroller (IP level controller) with the lowest ACCnet ID. This controller will then push any time changes out to all other IP level controllers and down to its subnet controllers (i2’s or b3’s). See Time sync controllers to workstations for details on this. Note2: At 38 minutes past the hour the Netcontroller will push its time down to its subnet (aka Field Bus) controllers. Note3: When time is set in the Netcontroller with a reload of the controller, the UTC settings of the WS doing the reload, and the Network folder the controller is in, are accounted for and the controllers time is set with these UTC settings taken into account. When time is set with a PE program using the WS Date object, this does not take into account the UTC settings of the various locations and just sets the controller Date object to the exact value of the WS Date object. If the controller is in a different time zone than the WS setting its time, then it will now have the wrong time in it. To compensate for this, it is suggested that time offsets must be added to the Time Sync program to accommodate those networks in a different time zone than the WS. Other UTC setting locations and what these settings effect IP level BACnet Device UTC Offset The UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object is only used when the BACnet time synchronization method is being used to set time. This setting then follows the BACnet specification where it needs to be the negative value of the GMT setting. For example, if the BACnet device is in the GMT+10 time zone, then set this offset to -(10*60) = -600. Note4: If using the PE program method, the UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object does not change how time is set in the controllers. However, if the UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object is changed, it will change the current time of the controller to coincide with the new time zone until the time is set again in the controller, or the UTC offset value is removed. UTC offset in controller configuration Time Settings webpage This doesn’t change how the time of the controller is set. It is used to set the time of sent email messages when using the SMTP option on this controller.

Insight Sensor/Multi sensor Ambient Light Sensor Calibration

Issue The Insight Sensor and Multi Sensor Ambient Light Sensor require calibration before they can be effectively used. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation. Environment Insight Sensor. Multi Sensor Cause When setting up a new Insight Sensor or Multi Sensor device, the default settings for Gain and offset may result in inaccurate readings. Calibration is necessary to ensure accurate data collection based on the specific installation area. Resolution To perform the calibration, the following two tasks need to be carried out manually: Calibrate the Light Sensor: Conduct the calibration process in an environment without any daylight for optimal results. Set the light to 100%. Measure the lux level at the reference point using a lux meter. Adjust the gain settings on the sensor to match the measured lux level. Linearize the Feedback Signal: In some cases, lights may not provide a linear feedback (lux level) as the output increases. To compensate for this non-linearity, the signal from the controller is linearized before being sent to the output. During the optimization phase, the controller incrementally increases the output in 10% steps, measuring the adjacent lux levels for each step. The maximum lux supplement is calculated by subtracting the lux level at 100% output from the lux level at 0% output. After the optimization phase, breakpoints are determined and verified by re-running the test. If the results fall within the maximum difference limit compared to a linear signal, the calibration test is considered valid. Remember, performing the calibration process without any daylight present will yield the best results.

Host SpaceLogic IP device located in a remote subnet using BBMD

Issue SpaceLogic IP device is located in a remote subnet and EcoStruxure BMS server can't discover it. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Edge Server - Standard Building Operation Multi-purpose Controller Building Operation Multi-purpose VAV Building Operation Room Controller (RPC) Building Operation IP-IO Cause BACnet broadcast messages, such as Who is/I am that are used for device discovery, will not be forwarded between the two IP subnets. BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) is required to allow BACnet to operate through IP routers. Resolution Scenario 1: SpaceLogic BACnet/IP device is located in remote subnet with no EcoStruxure BMS server or BBMD located in same subnet. EcoStruxure BMS server will be configured as BBMD, and SpaceLogic BACnet/IP device will be configured as foreign device and register itself with BBMD (which is the AS-P in our example).    The following video will illustrate how to: Configure SpaceLogic BACnet/IP device located in foreign IP subnet as a foreign device. Configure an EcoStruxure BMS server as BBMD. View foreign device registration on the EcoStruxure BMS Server. Discover and host the SpaceLogic BACnet/IP device.   Scenario 2: SpaceLogic BACnet/IP device is located in remote subnet with a 3rd party device that can be configured as BBMD. In the other subnet, EcoStruxure BMS server will also be configure as BBMD. SpaceLogic IP device will not be configured as foreign device as there is BBMD device in the same subnet. This BBMD will redistribute the essential broadcast messages to it.
