Reload error: Type not valid for this IO channel

Issue Infinity controller error: Type not valid for this IO channel Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Cyberstation Cause ElecType mismatch between what is in the database and the field controller hardware. An example of this problem would be offline creating a voltage output on a DO-4.  It will save to the DB since it is a valid InfinityOutput configuration.   Although when attempting to do a Send to Controller the controller knows that point type is not valid on the specific IOU module hardware. This can also happen when an object is imported into Continuum because the database error checking is less strict than when creating the object online. Resolution Go into offline editing Check the point configuration If it does not match the field hardware, then correct it, save it, go to online mode and reload.

Jace 8000 NRE default configuration and RAM disk removal

Issue NRE default configuration and RAM disk removal Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series N4.11 Jace 8000 Cause In Niagara 4.10u1 and earlier, the RAM disk was used to temporarily store alarm and history data. During station save, this data was copied from the RAM disk and zipped up, and stored on Flash. In Niagara 4.11, the RAM disk has been removed entirely. This data is now written directly to the Flash. Resolution A change to the JACE-8000 file system has been introduced with the release of Niagara 4.11. The RAM disk was used to store alarm and history data. During station save, this data was copied from the RAM disk and zipped up into a single file that was stored on flash. In Niagara 4.11, the RAM disk has been removed entirely. This data is now written directly to the flash memory. This change has enabled ~384MB of RAM to be freed up to improve performance. Some of the space has been reallocated to code cache, metaspace, and heap space in the 4.11 NRE default settings. Any additional memory space is now available as general free memory. JACE-8000 NRE Memory Default for (older) Niagara 4.10 - sizes in MB: System Reserve Size:          0 Heap Space Size:              360 Meta Space Size:              56 Code Cache Size:              16 RAM Disk Size:                384 Free Memory:                  ~16 JACE-8000 NRE Memory Default for (newer) Niagara 4.11 - sizes in MB: System Reserve Size:          0 Heap Space Size:              384 Meta Space Size:              64 Code Cache Size:              32 RAM Disk Size:                Not present (cannot be created) Free Memory:                  ~352   These changes should be transparent to most users and will provide moderate performance improvements on the JACE-8000.

Xenta 102-ES configuration and wiring for 2 position (on/off) heating control

Issue Xenta 102-ES configuration and wiring for 2 position (on / off) heating actuators or other digital heating control Product Line TAC Vista Environment Vista Xenta 102-ES Cause Wiring for 2 position heating control on the Xenta 102-ES is different than increase / decrease type actuators. Resolution The Xenta 102-ES documentation refers to two position heating control as thermal actuators, thermo or TAO and can be somewhat confusing. The same info applies whether using a two position hot water valve, any on / off type electrical heat (such as baseboard heaters or electric heating strips. Here's what you need to know: If using only one stage of heat: Select Thermo for Primary Heating in the Xenta 102-ES plugin or if configuring from Vista Workstation or the OP set nciAppOptions bit 5 to 1 and leave bit 6 as 0.   From the Xenta 102-ES plugin choose either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) from the box in between the Primary and Secondary Heating fields. Additionally, this can be configured from Vista Workstation or the OP by setting nciAppOptions bit 11 to 0 for normally closed (NC) operation or set bit 11 to 1 for normally open (NO) operation. Both terminals V3 and V4 will be switched when the first stage of heat is activated. These terminals operate in parallel in this configuration and either one can be used.   If using two stages of heat: Select Thermo for Primary Heating in the Xenta 102-ES plugin and select Enable for Secondary Heating. If configuring the device from Vista Workstation or the OP set nciAppOptions bit 5 and bit 6 to 1. From the Xenta 102-ES plugin choose either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) from the box in between the Primary and Secondary Heating fields. Additionally, this can be configured from Vista Workstation or the OP by setting nciAppOptions bit 11 to 0 for normally closed (NC) operation or set bit 11 to 1 for normally open (NO) operation. Both terminals V3 and V4 will be switched when the first stage of heat is activated. These terminals operate in parallel in this configuration and either one can be used. Only terminal V6 will be switched for second stage of heat. Note: The triac outputs of the Xenta 102-ES are ground sourcing and should be wired accordingly. See Digital outputs (V) on most Xenta 100 series controllers are ground sourcing (voltage sinking) for additional information.

Collect logs from an Automation Server

Issue When troubleshooting server issues, it can be helpful to look at the logs that are recorded within the Automation Server. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server  Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Cause Within the Automation Server logs are many records that are logged as a part of normal operations and unexpected events. Resolution Automation Server: Automation Server error logs can be retrieved using Workstation, Device Administrator, or WebStation. Device Administrator can be used in case of crash information is required, ex. dump files, or if the Automation Server is not accessible via WebStation or WorkStation. Workstation: Connect to EBO system with EBO WorkStation.

Creating binding templates

Issue Creating binding templates. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Binding templates for Script and Function block programs. Binding template examples:  Type Binding Template Examples Path Matching Binding Templates and Syntax Path Matching Binding Template Examples  Cause 1 - Output points need to be bound to the Requested Value attribute, but the default name matching template only matches the value attribute. 2 - Binding  a Graphic which contains several controllers which all have the same names in the system tree structure, using a binding template. 3 - Binding Template Types examples Resolution 1 - Output points need to be bound to the Requested Value attribute, but the default name matching template only matches the value attribute. Under the system folder of the AS or ES there is a folder called "Binding Templates". In here you can create custom templates by right clicking and selecting "New", "Binding Template". To create a generic template that will bind both inputs, outputs, values and other object types follow these steps: Press Next and the following screen appears: Select All Types and press Next: Click twice on the Add Rule icon (Green +) then enter the three rules as follows: Press create and the new IO Binding template will be created.  If you have used a common naming convention in your points and within the programs, you will be able to use this template to bind all the points and values to your programs. Drag the AS across to the IO Binding template (as below) and it will match all of the point names and use Requested value attribute for the output points. This example shows 2 IO Binding templates, as one was created at the AS level and another at the ES level. Only 1 is actually required to provide this functionality. You can subsequently edit the binding template and it will show as follows:   2 - Binding  a Graphic which contains several controllers which all have the same names in the system tree structure, using a binding template. It is common for a system to consist of many controllers that have been created from the same import file. This will mean that there are many instances of the same names being used, but this is not an issue until a graphic containing several controllers are to be bound. Create a "Path Matching Binding Template" as shown above and configure as shown in the following screen shot. Notice that the Binding candidate has /Application/ between the "Unit" and "Point" to match the tree structure.        The screen shot below shows the site system tree structure, with part of the graphic binding page. Note that for the binding template to work, the bind names used in the graphic must be unique. eg. L6W1_CHB_006 (Unit) and ReturnAirTemp (Point).     For an Export of this template, click Binding Template Export 2013-08-15 083240.zip. 3 - Binding Template Types examples see the Online Help. An additional resource is the Exchange Community in particular the following Knowledge Reinforcement Session Also check out the SmartStruxure-Binding Templates-Lesson 1-7 Quick-Help video on the Exchange.

If the license file is not in the correct location when the license server is started, then the vendor daemon must be started manually. For general information on the new license system, see LMTools Licensing Administrator program is replaced with LMAdmin in Vista 5.1.8 or greater. Resolution Remember that a valid and un-modified License File is necessary for the following troubleshooting steps to work. If the License file was manually manipulated in any way, please revert to a File specifically licensed for the machine where the License Server resides. Before proceeding, make sure the setup of the license system is made correctly following No license after reboot when TAC Vista Server (TACOS) runs as a service Check out this video about the new Vista 5 licensing system on the Community website. Check out the TAC License Server Setting tool below for the new license system. Click here to download the zip file.       Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name This is a bug in the lmadmin.exe file. Either replace the lmadmin.exe file with the newest available or install the newest version of the license system available. You can have a newer version of the license system installed than the TAC Vista version installed. E.g. TAC Vista 5.1.8 will work together with a license server version 5.1.9 Cannot Open the Flexnet License Admin Ensure that the TACLicenseServer is running as a service. Right Click on the Computer icon on the desktop and click on manage. In the system tree on the left, go to Services and Applications > Services. Scroll down and select TACLicenseServer. Click Start in the top left corner of the window. Make sure that the site license is the only file in the license server path. If there is a demo license in the file path when trying to start the license server, it will fail to start. Sometimes you will get the following Windows error. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. Note: TAC License Server with spaces is not the correct license server. If TACLicenseServer is not found in the list then move on to the next troubleshooting section titled "Setting up the TAC License Server as a Service".   If the TAC License Server will not start then it may be due to another program using the 8080 TCP port. Use TCPView to search for programs running on local port 8080 and either stop this program or use the TACLicenseServer Settings tool at the top of this page to change the port that the TAC License Server uses. If the TACLicenseServer still does not run then continue to the next section below, Setting up the TAC License Server as a Service.    Setting up the TAC License Server as a Service LMAdmin.exe must be registered as a service. When first installing Vista the option "Use the local TAC License Server" should be selected. When this option is selected it will install the license server, register it as a service and start it. When "Use a license file" is selected it will only install the license server without configuring its settings. This can be corrected by reinstalling Vista and making the proper selection or by a manual configuration procedure. The manual procedure steps are listed below. Note: The option "Use a license file" only applies to a demo license, not a site license file. Manual Procedure to Register the License Server as a Service Start a command prompt as an administrator. To do this go to Start > All Programs >  Accessories and right-click on Command Prompt, then select Run as Administrator. In the command prompt go to path C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\License Server\ (This can be done by entering "cd" and then the directory path listed here.) For 64-bit OS go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\License Server\" Run the command: "LMAdmin.exe -InstallService TACLicenseServer".   Manually copy the license files that are to be used to the new license file folder location. 32 bit - C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\License Server\taclic\licenses 64 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\License Server\taclic\licenses   In the command prompt type, the following command to start the license server "net start TACLicenseServer". Note: If the license files are not copied prior to starting the license server, the vendor daemon will not be started successfully and must be manually started after the license files have been copied to the new license file location. For instruction on how to do this, follow the steps in the next section Vendor Daemon is Down When the license server is installed but not configured, as mentioned above, the TAC Vista Server installer will not create a shortcut to the license administration tool in the start menu; since the shortcut will not work. A shortcut is created in the installation folder and can be used to create a shortcut in the start menu manually. The shortcut can be found here "C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\License Server\FlexNetLicenseAdmin". For 64-bit OS the shortcut is found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\License Server". Vendor Daemon is Down   Note: If working on a 64 bit PC, replace "Program Files" with "Program Files (x86)" in the file paths below. Go to All Programs > Schneider Electric > TAC Tool 5.X.X > Flexnet License Admin. Click on Administration in the top right corner of the screen and login with admin/admin (If logging in for the first time it will prompt you to change the password). Click on the Vendor Daemon Configuration tab and then select the taclic daemon. Verify that the path in the License File or Directory field matches the location of the site license. The first half of the file path is C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\License Server\ followed by what is in the License File or Directory field. Verify that the taclic.exe is located in the path found in the Vendor Daemon Location field. The first half of the file path is C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\License Server\ followed by what is in the Vendor Daemon Location field. If changes were made then click Save and then Start. If the Vendor Daemon still does not start after checking the file paths, verify that the site license has been hosted to the correct MAC address. For help finding the MAC address, see How to locate a computer's MAC address. NOTE: Also make sure there are no other Flexnet License Servers installed on this same machine (SmartStruxure, Power Manager, etc). If there is another license server running on the same machine then this can cause a conflict. SmartStruxure license and TAC Vista license on the same PC can walk you through merging them together. If IPV6 is enabled, you may need to disable it and reboot the machine. Switching from a site license to a demo license Log into LMadmin and stop the license server Save the Demo License file in C:/Program Files/Schneider Electric/License Server/Licenses Open the desired engineering tool and point Vista to the Demo file When finished, log into LMAdmin and start the License Server.  This will tell Vista to continue using the site license. A site that has worked with the installation from a remote desktop or the different user logged in Open task manager Check for process "lmgrd" of 2 of them are running the FlexNet server might try to read from the wrong server. Shutdown down both processes and restart the FlexNet server Log in to FlexNet admin and start the vendor Reread the license file Also, check License Administrator error "EXITING DUE TO SIGNAL 28 Exit reason 5"
