What visual indication is present when I/O server is running?

Issue What visual indication is present when I/O server is running? Environment I/NET I/O Server Windows operating systems Cause Use the Windows system tray to determine if I/NET's companion program, I/O Server is running. This must be running to facilitate communications. Resolution The I/NET host workstation needs to communicate with many external devices, including other host workstations, NPRs, Taps and controllers. I/NET uses a companion program, I/O Server, to facilitate efficient communication functions. I/O Server must be running for most I/NET communication functions to occur. Each time it is started, I/NET launches I/O Server, which runs in the background. By default, I/O Server continues to run as a background task even after I/NET is shut down. This enables your host software to continue to receive I/NET data even if the host software is not operating. Should you need to disable the I/O Server temporarily, you can shut it down manually. You can also instruct I/NET to shut down all I/NET-related background tasks automatically. When I/O Server is running, an icon is visible in the Windows system tray. The specific icon loaded will depend upon whether the workstation is directly connected to a Tap. Right-clicking on the icon allows you to manually shut down I/O Server or to start the configuration program.

What files make up a complete DMS database backup?

Issue One folder, on a jobsite computer, contains all the DMS backups done over the past several years.  Since each backup contains multiple files, how can the files be identified and then grouped together for easy retrieval in the future? Environment DMS35, DMS350A, and DMS3500 (revisions 9, 10, and 11) Cause Multiple DMS backups were performed from the same jobsite computer. They were not grouped by name or date. All the backup files exist in one folder in a disorganized state. Resolution The files created from a database 'save' for a DMS35 or DMS3500 are: filename.IOC (stores DMS point IDs, records, alarm parameters) filename.UC (stores DMS point configuration elements) filename.PG (stores DMS tables and schedules) filename.UDP (stores UDPs in the DMS panel) The files created from a database 'save' for a DMS350A include the four listed above as well as: filename.Dxx (stores DCM tables, schedules, and other elements) filename.Uxx (stores DCM UDPs) where xx = DCM address 01-32

If the Filemaster workstation is powered off, file equalization will not occur

Issue If the Filemaster workstation is powered off, will file equalization still occur? Environment I/NET file equalization Cause The filemaster is required for equalization. Resolution If the filemaster workstation is powered off, or if EqualSrv is not  available, file equalization cannot occur. Furthermore, other host  workstations will not be able to modify any of the equalized files. It is recommended that the filemaster workstation be powered by a uninterruptable power supply (UPS). See TCON 209, 1-13 for more information.

I/NET 2000 launches "EqualCli" automatically

Issue Does I/NET 2000 launch "EqualCli" automatically? Environment I/NET 2000 Cause File equalization is required if you have more than one host workstation which will need access to any of the above files. One host workstation is designated as the filemaster. This designation is performed in the Configure program and is maintained in the configuration profile. When you select the Set as filemaster option, Configure automatically completes the filemaster name field with the Computer name (found in the Identification tab under Windows Network settings). The filemaster name field is read-only on the filemaster station and cannot be changed. Resolution Yes, EqualCli will launch automatically. For more information see TCON 209, The Filemaster, 1-13. When the workstation is designated as the filemaster, I/NET stores a master copy of each equalized file in the \MSTR directory. It is important that the designated workstation be constantly powered and that the EqualSrv program be running. EqualSrv will dock an icon in the system tray to indicate it is active. Both EqualSrv and EqualCli are launched automatically by I/NET on the filemaster workstation and stay running as background tasks, even when I/NET is shut down. If necessary, you can manually shut down EqualSrv from the system tray icon menu. Warning: If the filemaster workstation is powered off, or if EqualSrv is not available, file equalization cannot occur. Furthermore, other host workstations will not be able to modify any of the equalized files. It is recommended that the filemaster workstation be powered by a uninterruptable power supply (UPS). All other host workstations must enter the Computer name of the filemaster workstation in the Filemaster name field. I/NET launches the EqualCli program on the host workstations automatically. Before any host workstation can access an equalized file, the EqualCli program contacts the EqualSrv program running on the filemaster station to ensure that any modifications can be passed to the filemaster copy. If, for some reason, EqualCli cannot make contact with EqualSrv, the operator will receive an error message and will not be able to access the equalized file. This ensures that no updates to the file are lost. If EqualCli makes contact with EqualSrv, the operator is permitted to access and modify the equalized file. EqualCli passes the updates to EqualSrv, who then updates the filemaster copy. If the update is successful, EqualSrv will make the file available to all the host workstations. There are three events which trigger the file equalization procedure. When I/NET is launched on any host workstation. When an operator attempts to access an equalized file. When any operator successfully updates an equalized file.

Schneider Electric Heat Meter Multical 602 - Pulse output card

Issue Selection and installation of a pulsed output module. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, Satchwell Sigma, TAC Vista Environment Heat Meter Multical 602 Pulsed output module No pulses Cause Installed card does not give output pulses. Resolution Selection of the output card. The Schneider Electric part number is MAPULSETOPC and this is the equivalent to Kamstrup part number 602-0C This card will provide 2 pulse outputs for energy and volume, CE and CV respectively. Normally, energy (CE) is connected to 16-17 and volume (CV) to 18-19, but other combinations can be selected via the PC program METERTOOL, also used to select pulse duration 32 or 100 ms. The MAPULSETOPC is actually a top module, which means that it is fitted into the top piece of the MC602 calculator, basically the inside LCD cover. This is released by pressing downwards in the middle of the plastic piece on the left, and at the same time pushing the top module towards the left.
