Settings tab on 9680 ports are disabled or grayed out and unable to edit Xdriver settings or the Stopbits show as 1.5

Issue Unable to edit Xdriver communication settings on a comm port for a 9680 or the stopbits show incorrectly as 1.5 Product Line Andover Continuum Environment 9680 Continuum 1.74 or 1.81 Webclient 1.74 or 1.81 Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Cause Under certain circumstances, there was an issue in version 1.74 and 1.81 where the comm port settings were disabled or grayed out. If the settings were not grayed out and an attempt is made to set the stopbits, it could get set incorrectly to 1.5. Resolution The issue is corrected in 1.82 and above.  The work around for versions 1.74 and 1.81 are to set the comm port from the command line. See Command examples to check controller comm port settings for Xdriver or other communication to set the parameters manually.

Ethernet Timeout setting

Issue Having trouble communicating to an NPR or other I/NET hosts over a slow/busy ethernet. Product Line TAC INET Environment Any Version of Windows OS and Any Version of I/NET Seven Cause You can make I/NET more tolerant of communication delays over the IP network by making the following change. Resolution Open regedit. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CSI - Control Systems International\I/Net 2000\Configurations. Select your active profile. On the right side, right click and modify the DWORD value "EthernetTimeout" and click "Decimal". The default value is 500mS or half of one second. Increasing this value will determine how long I/NET waits for a response over the ethernet before it gives up. Raise it to 1000, 2000, 2500, etc. and see if it helps. For additional information please see NPR's giving you "Host Lost - Host Restore" messages.

Microsoft Database size Limitations and Continuum

Issue Microsoft Database size Limitations and Continuum Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Site Cause There are limitations to the size that a Continuum database can be. The limitations are Microsoft's limitations. Basically if you use their limited sized databases, these are good for smaller sites. Most of these smaller sites usually don't have extended logs or a heavy volume of access and alarm events either. Resolution Microsoft Database size Limitations and Continuum On large scale sites that have a lot of extended logging, heavy access traffic, alarms and do not want to monitor the size of the databases, it is suggested to go with a enterprise SQLversion. Microsoft DB Size Limitations MSDE version (SQL 2000) 2 Gig Limit - See Database size limitation and recover options on a Single User system in Continuum for more information (Cyberstation SU versions 1.81 and earlier). Enterprise version (SQL 2000) No Limit SQL 2005 Express 4 Gig Limit  (Cyberstation SU versions 1.82 to 1.94) SQL 2012 Express 10Gig limit  (Cyberstation SU version 2.0) Exchange Server 2003 before SP2 SQL 2005 Standard Edition 18 Gig Limit SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition 8 Terabyte Limit Server 2003 SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition 8 Terabyte Limit Research your operating system and determine the size limitations for your particular installation. There are other limitations when using limited versions of the SQL Databases like Standard addition. For instance limited number of processors, limited amount of memory used for allocation pool. Note: Do not use 2 database applications on a Stand Alone installation with Cyberstation being one of the applications. 2 SQL versions or 2 database instances has not been tested with a Stand Alone and is unsupported. This scenario can cause Cyberstation performance issues as well as application crashes.

Continuum Controller MAC address

Issue Why do Continuum controller MAC addresses have less than 12 digits as required by IT Departments? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment ACX, bCX, CX level controllers NC2 Cause Leading zeros are removed from the MAC addresses of all Continuum controllers Resolution The MAC address is listed as the attribute "Ethernet Id" in Continuum List views. The digits do not display leading 0's, so all Continuum controller addresses start 0:40:11.... To provide the 12 digit MAC address you will need to restore the leading 0's as required by IT departments. e.g.. 00:40:11:0e:00:00.

Physical device not defined/configured

Issue Group bindings are correct, Xenta programmables download successfully, and all controllers are commissioned and online in LNS. However, no programmable units will show online in Vista Workstation. Check the alarm queue in Vista Workstation (sorted by Last Change) for the following alarm (or similar):  Server-$EE_Mess  Physical device not defined/configured - TAC301: 040294360200 The controller type and Neuron ID will change each time the alarm updates (every 30 seconds or so) as it cycles through each programmable controller in the network.   Product Line TAC Vista Environment TAC Vista Workstation Xenta programmable controllers Xenta 280, 281, 282, 283, 300, 301, 302, 401, 401:B Cause Group names must not exceed 20 characters in length and must not contain any spaces. Resolution Change all group names to adhere to the standard that they must be 20 characters or less in length and must not contain any spaces. It is also good design practice to change the subsystem names in LNS if that is where they originated from. This will help future service technicians to make sense of the network structure.

Using DSL with Continuum controllers

Issue If remote buildings have an internet connection using DSL, will this configuration work with Continuum controllers? Are there any known issues? Is the connection fast enough? Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Netcontroller 9680 Netcontroller 99xx BCX ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) Cause Buildings in remote areas may use DSL(Digital Subscriber Line) to access Netcontrollers instead of a corporate LAN. Resolution Netcontrollers can be used with a DSL connection. Two things to keep in mind when implementing this configuration are: Do not employ NAT(Network Address Translation) of any kind. Continuum requires a static IP. This can be requested from the ISP(Internet Service Provider) of the DSL line. All network ports required for Continuum operation will need to be opened. See Router required open port numbers to run a Continuum system for this information. DSL speeds are typically fast enough to not cause connection issues. Note: Where DSL lines have equal up and download speeds, ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) have upload speeds that may be 100 x slower than the download speed, typically 128K maximum and are unlikely to provide a reliable network connection.

No more address table slots for a device involved in the attempted connection. (Subsystem: NS Connections, #15)

Issue No more address table slots for a device involved in the attempted connection. (Subsystem:  NS Connections, #15) Product Line TAC Vista Environment LonMaker 3.X NS Connections Error codes are not specific to any one LON environment, the display of the error may vary, but the steps to resolve should be the same.   Cause Every LON Neuron chip has 15 total address table slots inside, which store addressing information for SNVT communication.  Xenta programmable controllers utilize Address Table slots 0 and 1 for TAC and Xenta Group Binding information for reporting online status to the Vista Server and transferring TA Network Variables to each other.  This leaves 13 available address table slots in a Xenta programmable controller.  There are many scenarios by which address table slots are consumed (both in the sending and receiving controllers).  If you have exceeded the address table limitations, no further SNVT bindings (which would require additional address table slots) will be allowed.   Resolution The error message should indicate which controller has exceeded its address table limitations (sending or receiving).  First verify the current status of the address table. Right-click on the controller Select Properties Navigate to the Address Table tab.   This will tell you (a) if the address table is indeed full or (b) how many slots you have left.  Knowing this can help you determine the easiest recourse to the problem. If the address table is full in the sending controller: Information can only be sent via one-to-one bindings to 15 controllers (13 from a Xenta programmable).  Sometimes combining data into a one-to-many can save address table slots.  Instead of sending an individual occupancy to 20 VAVs, which consumes 20 address table slots, send them all the same one-to-many occupancy command, which consumes only 1 address table slot. Using a broadcast SNVT binding type will save on address table slots by only consuming one slot per receiving subnet instead of one per receiving controller.  This will increase network bandwidth, but allows one-to-one bindings to many controllers in the same subnet.  Xenta programmable SNVT output limits would be the only limiting factor. See Bind to more than 13 unique LON devices without running out of address table entries for details on creating Broadcast SNVT Bindings. If the address table is full in the receiving controller: If the binding is a one-to-one binding type: This is typically not an issue. The receiving controller does not normally have an address table slot consumed by a one-to-one SNVT binding. The only time a receiving controller has an address table slot consumed by a one-to-one SNVT binding is if that SNVT input is set to ""Poll."" (Unacknowledged, repeated, acknowledged profiles have no bearing on the number of address table slots consumed by one-to-one bindings.)   Unless dictated by the manufacturer of the device with which you are integrating, it is very rare to require polled inputs in a Menta file. Check the SNVT AI blocks in Menta and uncheck the "Poll" checkbox. Binding these inputs will no longer consume an address table slot in the receiving controller. If the binding is a one-to-many group binding type: Every member of the binding (sending or receiving) will have at least one address table slot consumed by the group binding. Freeing up address table slots may require some creative manipulation of the bindings. Options are: Convert to one-to-one bindings where the receiving controller will not lose an address table slot Do not customize every individual combination of group bindings (i.e. send the setpoint to the same controllers that are receiving outside air temp, even if they won't be using it). Every unique combination of controllers will constitute a new group and thus consume a new address table slot in each controller.

Product Line TAC Vista Environment Xenta Programmable Controllers rev 3.61 or later Cause A change to the firmware got rid of the 10 power cycles clearing the application. Resolution To clear the memory of a Xenta 2xx/3xx/40x running system program 3.61 or later, i.e. clear out the Menta application, insert a reset plug into the RJ-45 serial connection and then give the controller power. If you don't already have one, it is quite simple to make. See How to Clear the Xenta Application for instructions on how to make a reset cable.

Xenta 527 considerations when used with TAC Vista and I/NET

Issue What are the limitations of the Xenta 527 when used with TAC Vista and I/NET. What do I need to consider when integrating I/NET with TAC Vista. Product Line TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment TAC I/NET TAC Vista 5.1.6 and above TAC XBuilder TAC Xenta Server 527 5.1.6 and above I2V Cause Integrating I/NET into Vista. Resolution Below are a few considerations associated with the Xenta 527 Server that may assist when integrating existing I/NET systems with TAC Vista: As in all case the latest versions of both hardware and software should be used on any integration project. The attached datasheet indicates that the TAC Xenta 527 Web Server has been tested with up to 1000 I/NET points, if you require to integrate more points than this it is then recommended to add additional Xenta Servers to cater for this.  You may also consider segregating your I/NET System to improve performance. Currently it is not possible to pick and choose which points are imported into the XBuilder project, it can only be limited to which SAV file (or controller) is imported . Note: Each I/NET point type, as shown below, creates the following number of TAC Vista objects - these include; Alarm, State, Value, Control, Test, Manual, Alarm_ack etc, and vary according to the point type used. I/NET Point Type Number of TAC Vista Objects created DO 14 AO 11 AI 10 PI 10 DI 11 DA 11     The impact to consider here is the time it takes when adding or modifying your Xbuilder Project. This usually means that importing a large number of SAV files will cause the Vista server to get extremely busy creating / importing all of these objects.  It is best to let the process complete before selecting any other window.  Note that the total number of objects created during the import of the I/NET points is not counted as part of the 'tested' 1000 point limit stated in the above datasheet. This is a separate consideration. Network performance can be affected when a large number of connection objects are in use (so direct transfers between I/NET and Vista). There is no documented limitation, but the recommendation is not to exceed 300 connection objects per Xenta 527 Server.  For information on what the effects a connection object on the I/NET controller LAN has and how to calculate this, refer to Connection Objects in Xenta Server effect on I/NET system. Engineering of any I/NET feature apart from Point Control, Trends, Time Schedule and Alarm Configuration can only be done using the I/NET Host Tool or via an I/NET workstation.  Access to these features are via the Xenta 527 web server feature, so pages appear as HTML pages within TAC Vista, this will have a different look and feel to both Vista and I/NET users.   Other Knowledge Base Articles as listed below are also available to assist on integrating I/NET and Vista: Unit conversions when integrating LON to I/NET Vista to I/NET Integration Tips    Decoding the I/NET signal "flags" attribute Viewing I/NET Point Names in Vista Workstation instead of Addresses User Defined Units on I2V integration were accidentally set incorrectly SQL Host not passing data to Xenta 527 Web Server

I/A Series R2 (Niagara) station opened in the Admin Tool displays "Disabled"

Issue An I/A Series R2 (Niagara) station opened in the Admin Tool displays "Disabled." What does this error message mean? Product Line TAC IA Series Environment An I/A Series R2 (Niagara) UNC. Cause When a station is in the disabled mode, it indicates that the station has rebooted multiple times in a five minute period. Possible causes are rapid fluctuations in the AC power supplying the UNC, a bad battery, or a station with less than 20% idle time. Resolution Disconnect the battery, then cycle power to the UNC and see if it boots up normally. Run the system spy: in a browser, enter  http:// (ipaddress of UNC):3011/system/spy. Login with the hardware user name and password. At the bottom of the page, click on "Reset Counter", then check to see if the idle time exceeds 20%. If not, the station will need to be tuned to increase the idle time. Check battery per Niagara R2/G3 UNC/JACE reboots every 15 minutes with "Battery test failed" logged. See Batteries for the UNC-410 and UNC-520 are interchangeable for battery part numbers.

LON device can communicate in Vista, but fails in a Xenta Server / XBuilder

Issue Vista Server can read values on a LON device, but when this same device is used in an Xbuilder project for a Xenta Server no values can be read. Product Line TAC Vista Environment FT-10 LON Network Xenta Server Xenta 511, 527, 701, 711, 721, 731, 913 Cause The XIF file of the LON Device does not conform to LonMark standards for self documentation. Vista Server can recover from this and assumes all SNVTs are from the default function block, but XBuilder cannot. On the third line of each variable declaration is the self documentation: 1: VAR nvo01Value 2 0 0 0 2: 0 1 63 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 3: "@1|2 The correct format is to show the functional block number and the member number separated by either a | or # character. Improperly formatted self documentation include the following: "nvo01Value - Does not define the function block or member number. "@_1|_1 - Uses _1 which is not a valid number. "&3.4@0,20000-MP580 - Uses a - (dash) which is not valid It can also be because SNVTs from devices are bound directly to Menta programs in a Xenta 7XX. If the procedure below doesn't solve the issue, refer to Graphic values not updating in a network that includes a Xenta 7XX. Resolution The XIF file must be edited to correct the self documentation. Right click on the controller in Vista Workstation and open the properties window. On the XIF file tab find the file name of the XIF file. Open this file from the $thisfil directory in the Vista database folder. Modify the XIF by manually correcting these invalid lines of self documentation. It is recommended to use the default function block (0) and start with member index 50 to ensure no overlap. Increment the member number for each SNVT. "@0|50 "@0|51 .... Once the XIF file has been updated save it under a new name in the $thisfil directory. In the device properties browse to the new XIF file. Log out of workstation. Log in to workstation. Insert the LON network into Xbuilder. Generate the project and send to the device.
