Fan command does not turn of on the SE7300 or SE8000 controllers

Issue SE7300 and SE8000 room controller fan speeds do not turn off when fan mode is set to auto. When cooling and / or heating is no longer needed, the fan speed remains at low speed. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert, Field Devices Environment SE7000 series room controller SE8000 series room controller Cause It is required that the fan be turned off when no demand for cooling or heating is needed. Resolution SE7300 controllers Enter the configuration mode of the room controller. Refer to page 19 of the SE7300 Series Installation Guide for the procedure to enter the configuration mode. In configuration mode, there is a parameter 'AutoFan'. The default mode for this parameter is 'AS'. In order for the fan to stop when there is no demand, the mode should be set to 'AS AD'. AS (Default) = Auto Speed during occupied periods. Fan is always on during occupied periods. Low, medium and high speeds operate on temperature offset from set point. AS AD = Auto Speed / Auto Demand during occupied periods. - Medium and high speeds operate on temperature offset from set point. Low speed operates on demand and will shut down when no demand is present. SE8000 controllers On the room controller, select the fan mode parameter from the home screen. The fan mode must be set to Smart in order for the fan output to function as expected. In Smart mode the fan will turn off when there is no demand for cooling or heating. For SmartStruxure applications of the SE8000 controller This issue can also be seen when binding to the "Value field of the Occupancy Command of the SE8000 controller. Make sure to bind to a priority, not to Value otherwise the fan command will not turn off.

Automation Server - Warm and Cold Start differences

Issue Automation Server - Warm and Cold Start differences Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation server Cause The explanation on the differences between a warm start and a cold start in the documentation and web help may not be clear to some.  Resolution Warm Start: Restarts the controller's application Cold Start: Restarts the controller's operating system An Automation Server can be warm/cold started from Workstation or by using the reset button on the Automation Server. Refer to Reset Functions on Web Help for an explanation of the differences between warm and cold starting the AS.  Basically, you can set the Retain Levels for variables in Building Operation to 'No', 'warm start' or 'cold start'. To change the retain level of a variable and go to its properties.  - Click on the gear icon. - Set the retain level of the variable. 1. Retain level set to 'No' - The variable is reset to the value set when the object was created. When you create an Analog Value object, the value of the newly created object is '0'. A user can set this to another value. When retain level is set for this Analog Value object, after a warm or cold start, the value of this object will default back to '0'. 2. Retain level set to 'Warm start' - The value is set back to the last value set by the user. If a user change the value of an Analog Value object to another value and save, after a warm start, the object will return to the last value set by the user.  3. Retain level set to 'Cold start' - The value is set back to the last value set by either the user or the system (for instance by a program). The operation is similar to the warm start but in this case, the last value set by the system will also be retained.

What is the recommended BACnet Network ID number scheme to be used for Automation Server's Primary IP (eth1)

Issue Many campuses are configured with 1 BACnet Network ID number for Primary IP that is unique per building whether or not they are in the same IP subnet or multiple (with BBMDs). Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Cause When reviewing the Technical Reference Guide and searching "BACnet and IP Routing", it does not clearly explain the configuration and it also does not extend to multi-building systems using BBMDs. Resolution BACnet network numbers are assigned at BACnet routers, with a Range of 1-65,534 (where 65535 is reserved for broadcasts). Routed networks are assigned unique network numbers and can only have 1 router per network. Routed networks are usually BACnet MSTP, BACnet Ethernet, and Secondary IP networks. Standard practice is to have primary IP networks consisting of IP routers/devices in the same IP subnet or across multiple IP subnets joined by a BBMD and/or foreign device configuration uses the default BACnet network number 1.

I/NET Direct Digital Control (DDC) Modules

Issue A more in-depth description of each of the Direct Digital Control (DDC) modules in I/NET Product Line TAC INET Environment I/NET DDC DCUs, PCUs, MRs Two Position Module (2POS) PID Controller (PID) Float Module (FLT) Reset Module DDC Hi/Lo Module (HI/LO) Relay Module (Single Pole Double Throw Relay) Calc Module Cause DDC is a system that measures a variable, compares the variable with a known value to determine the error, processes the error using a specific software algorithm, and then produces an output to modify the controlled variable. Resolution Most of these modules are discussed in both TCON 083 or  TCON 299 System Operator Guide for more details. (The System Operator Guide is installed by default on your I/NET Host Workstation) DDC Two Position Module (2POS) This module is used where the final control element is in either one state or another opposite state (ON/OFF, OPEN/SHUT). This type of control will commonly be used for simple heating or cooling systems, starting and stopping motors, controlling water sprays for humidification, etc. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC PID Controller (PID) In Proportional (P), Proportional + Integral (PI), and Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) control, the control element moves linearly to a position that is proportional to the deviation and the rate of deviation of the controlled process variable from a prescribed setpoint. This type of control, in any of its three modes, or combinations thereof, is commonly used for the control of modulating valves, vanes or modulating motors where a proportional output control point is used. The proportional output control point may be either an analog output (voltage, current, resistance) or a pulse width output where the duration of the pulse is proportional to the error variation. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC Float Module (FLT) Traditionally, floating control actuates a control device when the error, i.e. the difference between the controlled process variable and the setpoint, exceeds a deadband and maintains the control until the error is within the deadband. The floating controller is based on the same principle however it has been enhanced to include PID control without the requirement for analog output or pulse width position feedback. The output of this controller may be directed toward either a pair of variable pulse width discrete outputs to control a bi-directional drive motor or dual EP value arrangement which is generally described as a "pressure-vent" controller. This type of control is commonly used for the same applications as the PID controller where positive feedback is either unnecessary or economically unsound. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC Reset Module (RESET) Reset is used to develop a setpoint output in an inversely or directly proportional relationship to one or two analog inputs and one or two operator-specific reset schedules. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC Hi/Lo Module (HI/LO) This module is used to provide the highest and/or lowest value from two or more measured variables, most commonly temperatures. HI/LO can be cascaded to accommodate virtually any number of inputs of similar nature. Typically the lowest space temperature would be the most logical to use to directly reset the heating water setpoint. The HI/LO modules provide the control engineer with a convenient alternative method for making the selection. The HI/LO modules may also be used as an OR/NOR selector by using the state(s) of various monitored discrete points. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC Relay Module (Single Pole Double Throw Relay) This module provides a mechanism for selecting one of two values or states based on conditions within the controlled environment. The actions of the relay are controlled by one discrete input and control which of two input states or values is directed to the output. The inputs and output may be either discrete or analog. The actions of this relay are analogous to its electric/electronic counterpart in its simplest form. This module is available in our PCUs and DCUs; and you can customize it for your needs.  DDC Calc Module This module functions similarly to calculations added to a point through the calculation extension editor. This module is only available in Micro Regulators (MR). It is not available in Application Specific Controllers (ASC).

Configuring Security Expert Readers

Issue Configuring Security Expert Readers Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Smart Card Readers Cause Security Expert Smart Card Readers have options such as Mifare Reading Mode, LED colors, etc. that can be configured. How the readers are configured will depend on the reader's firmware. Resolution The method used to configure a Security Expert Smart Card Reader depends on the firmware version it is using. There is no way to visually determine the firmware version. To identify what firmware the reader was shipped with from the factory refer to Knowledge Base article Identifying Security Expert Smart Card Readers Firmware. 1. Smart Card Readers with firmware below build 200 - (I.e. 1.04.64) These are older readers which were configured with a serial terminal program by connecting to the reader using a USB-RS485 converter. Please refer to the 'Installer Programming' section of the attached Smart Card Reader Installation Manual - Feb 2017. This has been replaced by a newer version of the manual on Exchange which no longer includes this information. 2. Smart Card Readers with firmware build 200 or above (I.e. 1.04.229) These newer readers do not have a serial interface and will require a configuration card to change reader options. The configuration card (SX-ISO-CONFIG) is ordered from Schneider Electric, see the Security Expert Credentials Order Form for details.

BACnet blacklist implementation to disable features in an EBO Server BACnet interface.

Issue Some BACnet devices advertise support for services such as RPM, COV, etc but malfunction when the service is used. An example of such a device is the Johnson Controls TEC2627VVT which advertises support for RPM but fails to upload its objects when SBO uses RPM to get the object list. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment BACnet Automation Server Enterprise Server Cause Some BACnet devices with inconsistent protocol implementation cannot process BACnet services such as RPM, COV, etc. Resolution Feature Supported in Version <no-rpm/> 1.8.1 and higher <no-cov/> 1.8.1.23701 and higher <ignore-unhosted-devices/> 3.2.3.9005 and higher (*)   Users can create a rule under the BACnet interface to configure SBO not to use the service. Some rules are global, while others can be for specific BACnet devices. For particular BACnet devices, they are specified by 'Vendor Identifier' and 'Model Name,' which need to match exactly as shown in that device's Properties - Advanced Tab.   Ensure you have installed the version that supports the feature you want to change. Setup file using the no-rpm rule. Use a text editor like 'Notepad' to create a text file or download the same file below. Enter the device's vendor ID (5)  and model name (TEC2627VVT) followed by the rule (no-rpm) using the format seen in the screenshot below. Save the file to the desired location on the PC with a name aiding later identification. Under the BACnet interface, create a new 'Document' object in the 'Application' folder. NOTE: The object MUST be named 'service_blacklist' in all lowercase. Click 'Next,' import the text file created in step 1, and save the 'Document' object. Restart the Server  Once the device is on the block list, SBO will not send 'readPropertyMultiple' requests to the device using only individual 'readProperty' requests. Add the service_blacklist to the EBO Server. Add the no-cov tag if you would like to block that service for this device:  Extended for multiple devices from different vendors simultaneously using this example for reference.   One can add a global rule using this syntax to ignore unhosted devices. * NOTE: It is recommended to remove <ignore-unhosted-devices/> after upgrading to EBO 4.0/2022 and higher because this feature is supported in the BACnet Interface Properties and BACnet Device Discovery view. Device Discovery for BACnet Controllers and IO Modules (se.com)  Once the Server has restarted, check the trace.log file and search for service_blacklist, there should be entries similar to this.

Automation Servers ignore time sync message sent from Windows NTP server that uses local internal clock

Issue After configuring the system per Setting up a Local / Internal NTP Server, the Automation Server's time would not sync to the local NTP computer's time. Wireshark capture shows a 'Root Dispersion' greater than 10 seconds. In the screenshots below, 10.169.90.13 is an Automation Server (NTP client), and 10.169.90.6 is the NTP server. CLIENT REQUEST SERVER REPLY This behavior of adding 10 seconds to the root dispersion is only observable when using the internal clock otherwise it is 0. This appears to be the intended behavior by Microsoft so that this NTP server would rank lower if using multiple NTP servers that might have more reliable time. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Automation Server (AS) Network Time Protocol (NTP) Cause The NTP client in the AS ignores the time sent by the NTP server if the root dispersion is greater than 'X' seconds (not known at this time) Resolution In the Windows registry of the machine being used as the time server, make the following change:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\LocalClockDispersion The default for this key is “A” in hex. Change this to “0” and then restart the Windows Time service.  Do this by running the following command net stop w32time && net start w32time. Here is what Wireshark shows after the time has been synchronized. SERVER REPLY

Error "Requested license is not available on the license Server" even though the license for the StruxureWare Building Operation Enterprise Server is valid

Issue Unable to login to Workstation. Getting error "Requested license is not available on the license Server" even though the license for the StruxureWare Enterprise Server is valid. License server does not support this feature (Error code: -18) Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment StruxureWare Building Operation v1.3/1.4 WorkStation Enterprise Server License Server Cause When using Network Licenses this possibly indicates there was no valid WorkStation license. The Enterprise Server license does not also provide a Workstation license to run Workstation. If using Local Licenses, such as the Evaluation / Demo license and you are attempting to connect to an Enterprise Server from a separate WorkStation, the License server and the demo license file must be installed on both the Enterprise Server and each Workstation since the local license can not be shared between computers. Check Online help for additional detail. Resolution Network License: A new WorkStation license is required to use WorkStation. This would need to be acquired and added to the license Server. The part numbers for these are below. WorkStation software (including editors) Part number Product name Description SXWSWWORK00001 SW-STATION-STD-0 WorkStation Standard, 1 concurrent user license, (no maintenance subscription included) SXWSWWORK00002 SW-STATION-PRO-0 WorkStation Professional, 1 concurrent user license, Professional WorkStation version includes Editor licensing, (includes TGML Graphics editor, Function Block & Script Programming, no maintenance subscription included) Depending on what your requirements are, it may be possible to use the WebStation instead of a dedicated WorkStation for light monitoring duties. There is no part number for WebStation; it is a default feature of the Automation Server and Enterprise Server (with no need for additional licensing) in v1.3. Details on the WebStation and WorkStation can be found at the below links. WorkStation WebStation Local License: If using Local Licenses, such the Evaluation/Demo license and you are attempting to connect to an Enterprise Server from a separate WorkStation, the License server and the demo license file must be installed on both the Enterprise Server and each Workstation since the local license can not be shared between computers. Check Online help for additional detail.
