Issue When configuring a BBMD what is the Broadcast Distribution Mask and what are the valid settings for the field. Continuum EcoStruxure Building Operation Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Continuum Environment Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Enterprise Server Continuum CyberStation bCX4xxx Cause Documentation Resolution When configuring a BBMD the BACnet protocol defines two methods of propagating the broadcasts messages to other networks. The two methods are referred to as One-Hop also known as a Directed Broadcast and Two-Hop.   Note: In this article the subnet mask is shown using Classless Inter-Domain Routing(CIDR) notation. An IPV4 address is 32 bits long, CIDR notation defines the number of bits used for the subnet mask. The most commonly used are: /8 or 255.0.0.0 /16 or 255.255.0.0 /24 or 255.255.255.0 /32 or 255.255.255.255 One-Hop With the One-Hop method the local BBMD transfers the message directly to the remote devices via the remote router. In this case the IP routers have to support the transfer of IP broadcast messages to remote IP subnets Figure 1 Figure 1 above illustrates the one-hop method, when the bCX1 which has been configured to take the role of BBMD for network 172.16.0.0/16 detects broadcast messages such as WHO-IS, I-AM etc, it sends a message directly to the broadcast address of the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, it is then up to Router2 to send the directed broadcast to all devices on the subnet. Any device on the subnet that is acting as a router to other networks will then also re-broadcast the message on those networks. (i.e a bCX hosting an MSTP network on COMM2)   Two-Hop With the Two-Hop procedure a BBMD device transfers broadcast messages to a further BBMD in the remote IP subnet, which then distributes the messages in its local network as IP broadcast messages for its IP subnet. Any device on the subnet that is acting as a router to other networks will then also re-broadcast the message on those networks.(i.e a bCX hosting an MSTP network on COMM2) Figure 2 Figure 2  above illustrates the two-hop method, when the bCX1 which has been configured to take the role of BBMD for network 172.16.0.0/16 detects broadcast messages such as WHO-IS, I-AM etc, it sends a unicast message to each BBMD device on its table, it is then up to each BBMD device on each subnet to send a broadcast that will be heard by all devices on the subnet. Which distribution mask should be used? As mentioned earlier, in order for the one-hop method to work, the router on the remote subnet MUST be configured to process incoming messages sent to the broadcast IP address, the two-hop method on the other hand is guaranteed to work, so when in doubt use the two-hop method. Most sites use two-hop distribution for the reason stated above,, the only obvious disadvantage of the two-hop method is that it is a little more verbose than the one-hop method since the message appears twice on the subnet, once as a unicast sent to the BBMD device and then again as a broadcast sent by the BBMD device. In Building Operation and Continuum the distribution mask defaults to the two-hop method (/32 or 255.255.255.255) How to configure the distribution mask For one-hop enter the subnet mask of the remote network in the distribution mask, the system will apply the mask to the IP address to obtain the broadcast address for the remote network. For two-hop enter 255.255.255.255, this tells the system not to do a direct broadcast and instead do a unicast to the remote BBMD device. Sample distribution mask In the BBMD table of a bCX shown in the screen shot above, BDT #1 and #3 use the two-hop method while BDT entry #2 uses the one-hop method.

Issue How to connect to the Jace 8000 system shell Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series Jace 8000 Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Cause Multiple diagnostic and low-level configuration processes need to be performed directly connected to the Jace 8000 in the system shell of the device. Resolution Connect the USB cable between the controller’s Debug port and the USB port you are using on your PC   On your PC, start your terminal emulation software. For example to start PuTTY from the Windows Start menu, this is typically Programs > PuTTY → PuTTY. PuTTy can be downloaded at no cost if you do not already have it on your PC. In the tree in the PuTTY Configuration dialog, expand Connection and click Serial. Set the “Serial line to connect to” for your PC’s (USB) COM port to use. For example, COM3. NOTE: You can examine Ports in Windows Device Manager to determine which serial port is in use on the PC. If you don't see the Jace in the COM ports, you will need to install the driver which can be Downloaded from FTDI.  It is also attached to this document below for Win10. Set the “Configure the serial line” fields as follows: • Speed (baud): 115200 • Data bits: 8 • Stop bits: 1 • Parity: None • Flow control: None In the tree in the PuTTY Configuration dialog, click Session and then click/select the “Connection type” as Serial NOTE: (Optional) You can save this configuration to reuse (load) in future PuTTY to JACE serial sessions. To do this, type in a connection name in the “Saved Sessions” field (for example, “JACE- 8000-S”), and click Save. When you start PuTTY again to serially connect to the JACE, select this name and click Load. At the bottom of the PuTTY Configuration dialog, click Enter. At the login prompt, enter a platform user name, and at the password prompt, the platform password. a. If prompted for system passphrase, enter the platform’s system passphrase. If login is successful, the TITAN System Shell menu appears. When finished making platform changes from the system shell, do the following: • If no changes or reboot is not necessary, simply type L to Logout. • If changes require rebooting, select the Reboot option. Type “y” at the “Are you sure you want to reboot [y/n]” prompt, and press Enter. Shutdown-related text appears in the terminal (PuTTY) window. Click the Close control (upper right corner) in the terminal session (PuTTY) window. Click OK in the “PuTTY Exit Confirmation” popup dialog. Unplug the USB connector from the JACE’s Debug port. This procedure is simply how to connect using USB serial port for system shell.  More information about functions available once connected can be found in other Knowledge Base articles and in the Jace 8000 Install and Startup Guide

Issue Differences between EcoStruxure Energy Expert and EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert There are some best practices and tips that can be used to save engineering time when setting up a EcoStruxure Energy Expert (Formerly Power Manager) system. To find out the differences between Energy Expert and Power Monitoring Expert (PME) see Differences between EcoStruxure Energy Expert and EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment EcoStruxure Building Operation Workstation EcoStruxure Energy Expert EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert ETL Integration Tool Cause The following topics should be considered before and during the implementation of the EcoStruxure Energy Expert offering to achieve the cleanest and most effective database.    For more information on design considerations including IT considerations, software compatibility, server specification, hard drive space, etc; see Design Guide - EcoStruxure Energy Expert - formerly Power Manager. For more information on integration see Energy Expert with EcoStruxure Building Operation.  For more information regarding Power Monitoring Expert (PME) please visit the Solutions Expert Community. Here you can find documentation, content, and additional help.  Resolution You may get some benefit working thorough some older existing support material under Energy Expert's former name of Power Manager such as the Deploy Power Manager for SmartStruxure Solution in a Day document.  Also check out the Power Manager EWS Alarm Web Configuration Quick-Help video on the Exchange. General Always install the EcoStruxure Energy Expert software with full Windows administrative rights. Just logging in with a user that has admin rights may not be enough. If you are unable to save an ETL job or run as a service; close ETL, right click on ETL and select run as administrator.  Create one folder on the root level of the server that holds all of the extended trend logs you wish to transfer to EE. This folder can even be set up to be visible to only a designated admin account to prevent any changes to be made to the trends. If any other items like trend charts are in this folder, it will only slow down the process.  See StruxureWare ETL tool locks up or takes a long time while loading sources for information on how to improve the scan time of the ETL load sources function.    SQL Server It is not recommended to install EcoStruxure Energy Expert on a machine that has another instance of SQL already installed on it unless you have advanced SQL configuration skills. The default SQL instance name is ION and the system administrator password is ION!Everywhere. This should not be changed.   Selecting Between Architecture 1 and 2 The three items to consider when selecting an Architecture are device type, numbers of registers to be requested, and device location. The device type is the most important item to consider though. In order to get the most out of the high feature, more robust meters, Architecture 2 should be used. Architecture 2 should be used if the following features are present; ION meter, multi-address device, power quality functions, onboard logging, and/or onboard alarming. When low-end power meters, energy meters, or pulse meters are used, there is no difference between the two architectures in fulfilling the energy management requirement. Most of the Schneider Electric meters and circuit breakers are fully supported by EE. This means that EE has built-in drivers to utilize the full function of the device and the required commission time is minimized.   Architecture 1: Logging data in EcoStruxureWare Building Operation (EBO) It is recommended to use interval trend logs to log the raw data coming in from the meters.  The only durations that need to be set up in trend logs for ETL is the standard trend log duration. This is generally going to be 15 minutes as a industry standard. EE Dashboards and Reports have an aggregation mechanism to make use of the data. Thus durations such as day, week, or month do not need to be brought over into EcoStruxure Energy Expert (EE) as it can be calculated later based off of the 15 minute trend log value.  If both Trendlogs and Extended Trendlogs are used, it is recommended to send the data in the Trendlog to EE to avoid the lagging between Extended Trendlogs and Trendlogs.    ETL StruxureWare Building Operation version 1.6 RC EcoStruxure Web Services (EWS) do not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) URLs. For the ETL Extract task make sure to fill out the web service name (default is admin), web service password (default is admin), and web service URL (replace localhost:8080 with your web server address and port as needed) in the settings. For the ETL Load task make sure that the ION data database connection string and ION network database connection string are correct. Also change the field enable recorder and channel creation to True. The recommended naming convention for the Target Device field is [Group].[DeviceName] with no special characters such as \ * + = | : ; < > _. An example could be BuildingA.SubMeter1 where the building name is used as the group and the meter name is used as the device name. With this naming convention, all values brought in under this particular meter will have the same Target Device name.    The Target Measurement field is very important to set correctly as it will not bring the data over to EE correctly if the right unit has not been chosen.

Issue Remote Factory Reset of SmartX IP controller MPX RPC IPIO Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Multi-purpose Controller Building Operation Multi-purpose VAV Building Operation Room Controller (RPC) Building Operation EasyLogic RP-C Building Operation EasyLogic RP-V Building Operation EasyLogic RP IO Expansion Module Building Operation EasyLogic MP-C Cause From v3.1 there is a facility to remotely Factory Reset a SpaceLogic BACnet/IP devices (formerly known as SmartX) and EasyLogic BACnet MS/TP devices. A quick look at the process and what versions of SmartX controller firmware are required Resolution Remote Factory Reset fails if the Controller is at v2.00. Remote Factory Reset operates correctly if the Controller is at v3.00 or higher. A Remote Factory Reset on a Controller with Static IP is best avoided. Although a Factory Reset is now possible, it should not be considered standard work process, but it shows that using DHCP serving of IP addresses does have advantage if a factory reset is required.

Issue Definition of number of nodes and points allowed using Modbus TCP/IP or RTU xdriver. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Modbus Protocol Cause Definition of number of nodes and points allowed using Modbus TCP/IP or RTU xdriver according to the modbus protocol. Resolution The maximum number of nodes is 254. The address range for points is 1 through to 65535. The number of addresses is limited by the controller memory. We have had ~6000 points but please note the Modbus is a polled protocol so the more points you have the longer the poll rate.   Specific Modbus RTU Details Our Modbus RTU XDriver supports the node range from 0-255. According to the Modbus specification, the node range is from 0 – 255, with 0 being the master, 1-247 being the slaves, and 248-255 being reserved addresses. After 32 nodes (1 master + 31 slaves), you may need RS-485 repeaters to ensure proper communications. This depends on a number of different items, including if the RS485 transceivers are full or quarter load. You can find the Modbus serial standard at the link below for further details. http://www.modbus.org/docs/Modbus_over_serial_line_V1.pdf

Issue Getting modbus devices to communicate to Continuum may require some trial and error. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Modbus RTU, ModbusRTU Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Cause Manufacturers of modbus devices may have an offset for their register values and addressing these values requires trial an error. Resolution This article was created as a starting point. There are a lot of tools and methods to get values from modbus devices communicating. This resolution discusses some important concepts as well methods for trying to bring values in. The Modbus RTU protocol is a Master/Slave style of protocol. The Andover Controls CX will be the master on the Modbus RTU network. There can be only one (1) master at a time on the Network. The Slave number is always set in the third party device. This could be either a hardware setting such as dip switches or a software setting. Modbus-IDA (also known as Modbus.org) has set the limit that the slave address can be between 1 and 247. Address 0 is allocated as a broadcast message. The Andover Controls x-driver can support addresses in the range of 0-255. The third party manufacturer should be able to tell you what the expected function codes are for the points that you are interested in. Modbus.org has defined the function codes in a very loose manner and leaves it up to individual interpretation. Andover controls supports the following standard function codes: 1-8 15,16. Since when you request information from a Modbus RTU device you receive the exact value that is in the register Andover Controls has provided some special function codes that will help to convert some of the common engineering values into usable values. The listing in the x-driver documentation shows the special function code, what is expected from the third party and the equivalent function code that is truly sent to the device. For instance if a point is a Intel float and resides in the 40,000 range then function code 245 would be used in the Andover Controls x-driver. This will still send out a function code 3 in the Modbus message but the x-driver will take the value sent in from the third party device and convert it into a usable float. Most confusion occurs when talking about the data registers, (also known as addresses or channels). Modbus.org has the following statements about the addresses in the protocol document. All data addresses in Modbus messages are referenced to zero. The first occurrence of a data item is addressed as item number zero. For example: The coil known as ‘coil 1’ in a programmable controller is addressed as coil 0000 in the data address field of a Modbus message. Coil 127 decimal is addressed as coil 007E hex (126 decimal). Holding register 40001 is addressed as register 0000 in the data address field of the message. The function code field already specifies a ‘holding register’ operation. Therefore the ‘4XXXX’ reference is implicit. Holding register 40108 is addressed as register 006B hex (107 decimal). Register number also known as address. When setting the start channel number parameter on the x-driver tab the x-driver is expecting the exact decimal address that you are looking to obtain. For instance: if a device shows a listing for the first point to occur at 40,001 then the start channel number is typically 0. This can be confusing since some manufacturers have decided to have 40,001 as being 1 and not zero while others manufacturer have decided that 40,001 is 0. There are two ways of determining how the manufacturer has started the numbering system for the device if it is not documented: Method 1 is a trial and error method. Where you set the value to minus 1 of the register address, the actual register address and plus 1 of the register address and see which one you a response from. Method 2 uses a third party software to poll all the points to see what addresses are populated. There are many shareware Modbus RTU software packages on the Web. One such program is called ModScan32 by Win-Tech. www.win-tech.com Number of channels. The least amount of channels that will be requested is 1 so number of channels should always be 1 or greater. If the data is stored in multiple channels then you will need to set the number of channels equal to the number of registers. If you are not using a special function code you will need to set up a separate numeric with a manual log with the number of entries equal to the number of channels. When you poll for the value of the channels the data will then be stored in the manual log of this second numeric. The first element of the log will be the first channel that is requested. For instance if a value is stored in registers 40,000 through 40,003 then the start channel number will be set to 0 and the number of channels would be 4. Another numeric with a manual log of 4 would be created and linked in the x-driver numeric by placing the name of the new numeric in the annex point parameter. Once the x-driver point is polled the returning information will be stored in the annex point. The manual log of the annex point will contain the data for the 40,000 register in location 1. The data for each subsequent register location will be in the next manual log location. I.E. annexpoint[4] will contain the data for register 40,003 The Modbus RTU x-driver is a poll on demand x-driver. What this means to the user is that either a Plain English (PE) program, graphic or editing the x-driver numeric will cause a poll to occur. It is best to mirror the x-driver point and use PE to poll the x-driver points. A simple program would loop through and perform a simple line of mirroredpoint = x-driverpoint. This will avoid multiple polls to the same point tying up more CX resources then necessary. Then you can use the mirrored point in programs and graphics. If you try to get values from a slave device that is offline (not responding) the x-driver will poll each point three times before it moves on to the next point. This will cause the CX scan time to rise to seconds instead of tenths of a second. It is helpful to have a single x-driver point in the third party slave device that will return a known value, (Product ID or serial number for example). This can be used to avoid running the scan time of the CX up if the slave device can not communicate. Inside of the polling program try to poll for the value of this point. If the value does not come back then skip the polling for the rest of the points for this slave device. This point can also be used as an alarm for the offline device as well. For example: 1: If ProductID1 = 15 then Mirroredpoint1 = x-driverpoint1 Goto 2 else Goto 2 endif 2: If ProductID2 = 15 then Mirroredpoint2 = x-driverpoint2 Goto 1 else Goto 1 endif Some data may come back as a value when you need only a bit of information. In this case you will need to use the Bitand operator in PE to extract the exact bit that you are looking for. As seen below the PE code will take an alarm point from a Liebert AC unit and break out the individual bits of information. AC9_Alarm1 = x_ac9alarm1 'setting the mirrored point AC9_CommFail = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 1 'extracting bit 1 AC9_LocalOff = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 2 'extracting bit 2 AC9_RemoteOff = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 4 'extracting bit 3 AC9_HiHeadPrs1 = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 8 'extracting bit 4 AC9_HiHeadPrs2 = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 16 'extracting bit 5 AC9_LossAirFlow = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 32 'extracting bit 6 AC9_StbyGlycolOn = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 64 'extracting bit 7 AC9_LiquidDet = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 128 'extracting bit 8 AC9_ChangeFltr = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 256 'extracting bit 9 AC9_HighTemp = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 512 'extracting bit 10 AC9_LowTemp = AC9_Alarm1 bitand 1024 'extracting bit 11
