Issue When attempting to downgrade an AS / ASP over IP or the direct connect USB cable, the new firmware fails to complete the install. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Automation Server (AS) Automation Server Premium (ASP),  Cause When installing a a "New Database" in to an AS or ASP, it first needs to clear out what is in the controller and then load the firmware with a blank database. This process may require DFU mode to achieve the install.  Resolution To downgrade an Automation Server or Automation Server Premium to an older version of software, put the controller in to DFU mode before beginning the direct USB download of a new database. To put controller in DFU mode, attach the Device Administrator to the AS via USB and press the reset button on the front of the controller 3 times in rapid succession. Note: The IP address of the controller will be reset to default. (192.168.1.99) Changing the version between v1.8 and the current version can often be achieved with a DFU reset, however the DFU reset clears out the history of the device which can be an advantage.

Issue Directions on how to commission an SSC and Mercury Controllers right out of the box. Product Line Access Expert Environment Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2014 Version 2 Version 3 Cause No directions on setting up an SSC and Mercury Controllers to get it online. Resolution Commissioning the AX-SSC Here is a link to a video that describes how this should be done as well that can be accessed from the following link: Commissioning a new SSC 1. Connect the Access Expert Device Administrator to the SSC using USB cable then go to ‘Network settings’ to configure the device’s IP address etc. 2. In the ‘Ethernet 1 Configuration’ tab, configure the IP settings (In this example, we are using a static IP address). Make sure to configure the DNS so that the URL of your hosted instance can be resolved. Take note of the SSC’s MAC address which will have to be entered when adding the SSC in Access Expert. 3. Enable the default user in the SSC in order to be able to login with a web browser to configure additional communication parameters. NOTE: The default user will stay enabled for 5 minutes then the checkbox will automatically deselect. Once logged into the SSC you can create a new level 1 user so you don’t have to rely on the default user again. 4. Point a web browser to the SSC's IP address and login using the default user (admin/password). After logon, verify the IP settings configured from the Device Administrator, you can edit the settings here if necessary. 5. If using a Mercury EP1501 or EP1502 Controller, use the MAC address and connect to the device. Once logged in, go on to the next step 6. Go to the ‘Host Comm’ page. This is where you will configure the SSC to be able to communicate to the Access Expert database instance in the cloud. 7. Configure the connection type for ‘IP Client’. Enter the URL for your DB server instance or the hosted cloud server as shown in the above example. 8. For V3, the Host Name would be us.accessxpert.com (ax.accessxpert.com also works). If premise, then it would be the IP of the Server. 9. Note the port number used for communications and make sure this port is open; you can also configure an alternate host port as a backup. 10. Usually it is 3001, if that is blocked by the clients Network, then use Port 443. 11. Click Accept then ‘Apply Settings’ followed by ‘Apply Settings Reboot’.  

Issue A specification for a power meter states that it provides KYZ pulse outputs. What is a KYZ pulse output? Product Line All Product Lines Environment Utility Meter with KYZ pulse outputs Cause Some meter specification sheets may state that the device outputs KYZ pulses. Resolution KYZ is a designation given to a relay used to create pulses for electrical metering applications. It is commonly a Form C relay (SPDT). The term KYZ refers to the contact designations: K for common, Y for Normally Open, and Z for Normally Closed.

Issue After installing a self-signed certificate via Internet explorer as detail in article  SSL Certificates - Security Certificate Risk warning logging in to WorkStation or WebStation using HTTPS  There is still a warning in Chrome and Firefox that the site is "Not secure" This warning is not seen in the earlier versions of Internet Explorer but from version 11 it is also seen in Internet Explorer. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment WebStation Cause Different browsers have different policies to Self-signed Certificates and display a different warning, but still use HTTPS. These policies may change over time, but it is not something that can be controlled Without a neutral and recognized third party—such as a certificate authority—verifying certificate ownership, a certificate is meaningless. To better understand, when doing something like creating an HTTPS connection you have the following chain: A client web browser making the request to the server. The remote web server sending data back to the client. And an HTTPS certificate authorized by a neutral 3rd party that vouches that the server is who it is and the encryption is valid because of that. A self-signed certificate is inherently untrusted because anyone can generate a self-signed certificate. Anyone including an entity that deliberately pretends to be something/someone they aren’t. With a self-signed certificate there is simply no trusted third party that has the basic human procedures set to simply state, “Okay, this domain has a certificate we issued them and thus you can trust them. We say they are in fact the domain the claim to be and not an imposter.” And since anyone in the world can create a self-signed certificate on their own, it’s usage has inherent trust issues. What makes a certificate valid has very little to do with deep technology or encryption techniques but what makes it valid is a process centered around a neutral—and recognized—third party validating a usage procedure and browser makers adhering to respect of those procedures. At the end of the day, an encryption key pair is an utterly meaningless pile of bits and bytes without the enforcement of the processes and procedures that surround them. Resolution Internet Explorer - No warning Chrome - "Not Secure" shown Firefox - Initially a "Your connection is not secure" warning is seen "10.158.7xx.xxx:xxx uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT" Add Exception, allows access as below   The best way to permanently remove the warning is to pay for a certificate from a certificate authority. See this forum post on how to get generate and add a certificate from a certificate authority

Issue The datasheet for DO-FA-12 says: Contact rating .......................250 VAC/30 VDC, 2 A, Pilot Duty (Power Factor 0.35) What does "Pilot Duty" mean? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Bundled (AS-B) Building Operation IO-module Cause The datasheet specifies the rating class of the relays.  Understanding what "Pilot Duty" means is needed in order to know what load can be controlled by the relay. Resolution A "Pilot Duty" rating means that this relay is made for a specific highly inductive load, such as controlling the coil of another relay or contactor. Contacts with a "Pilot Duty" rating have passed standardized testing to prove they can reliably control a "Pilot Duty" load. In another example the datasheet of a device may say: Relay contact rating 250 VAC / 30 VDC, 2 A Pilot Duty (C300) In this case C300 indicates the rating of the relay, according to the UL 508 standard. The start current of a motor could damages the relays in case the current is too high. The start current could be up to 8 times the rated current, or more.

Issue Satchwell FEU 4-port Unit Control Valve is obsolete. Product Line Field Devices Environment Satchwell FEU 4-port Unit Control Valve installations FEU4414 FEU4415 FEU4416 FEU4451 FEU4452 FEU4454 FEU4626 FEU4627 Cause Satchwell FEU 4-port Unit Control Valve requires replacement due to failure. Resolution Satchwell FEU 4-port Unit Control Valve may be replaced by Schneider Electric VZ419 series Unit Control Valve, although dimensional differences may apply.. It should be noted that VZ419 series Unit Control Valves are available in both Flat Face and Compression fitting specifications. The latest issue of the Schneider Electric Valves and Actuators Catalogue should therefore be consulted in order to determine the availability of the particular size / kv / fitting combination required.   It should also be noted that any Actuator installed on the Satchwell FEU 4-port Unit Control Valve will not be compatible with the replacement Schneider Electric VZ419 4-port Unit Control Valve and that a Schneider Electric MZ20 series Actuator of the appropriate operating voltage / signal type will also be required.

Issue When viewing the "Device Properties" of an MNB device in the Workplace Commissioning Tool (WPCT) the controller status indicates "Operational, Read-Only"? Product Line TAC IA Series Environment BACnet MNB controllers WorkPlace Commissioning Tool all versions Cause The MNB-xxxx series controllers contain circuitry that is designed to protect the integrity of the embedded flash memory under low-voltage or questionable input voltage conditions.  In the event of a controller-perceived low-voltage condition, the controller will set a read-only flag and lock out all writes to memory, as well as turn off controller outputs. Resolution The Read-Only status can help serve as an indicator that the input voltage to the controller may be questionable. Attention should also be paid to the wire distance between the central transformer and the secondary loads, especially in the case of half-wave input devices like the MNB-70, MNB-V series and MNB-300 controllers and the MNB-1000-15 remote I/O module. With half-wave type input devices, significant AC input current spikes can occur during the positive half-cycle of the AC input. Large resistances due to the wire lengths can cause significant voltage drops as seen from the controller AC input. In extreme cases, the controller may enter the read-only mode at apparent AC voltages exceeding 20 Vac due to the asymmetrical nature of the AC input voltage waveforms. In these cases, reducing the load on the transformer, reducing the wire length between the controller and the transformer, and using higher current rated wire will correct the problem.  For complete wiring guidelines consult the Micronet BACnet, Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide. Once the power issue is resolved cycling power to the controller will clear the read-only portion of the status. 

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.

Message Queuing Servers listen on TCP port 2101* for RPC-based MQIS and Active Directory lookups. Message Queuing 3.0 independent clients and Message Queuing servers make MQIS requests directly to Active Directory by using LDAP on TCP port 389. Message Queuing Independent Clients and Servers listen on fixed TCP port 2103* and 2105* for RPC-based remote reads of their public queues and private queues. Also, the Dependent Client uses these two ports to communicate with its server for send and for receive. There is a dynamic RPC port that is assigned by the RPC layer for handshaking with an Independent Client or with an RPC server for the Message Queuing Server to determine the fixed ports. This is typically port 135. The internal "ping" mechanism for Message Queuing operates over reserved UDP port 3527.

Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Enterprise Server Cause When cloud connectivity is enabled, the EcoStruxure BMS sends data from the system to the central storage for diagnostics and analysis along with data from other buildings and sites. Under the Cloud Connectivity Tab, The default communication setting is "Auto". If the customer has the "server.cloud.customer" license feature, the BMS Server tries to activate the cloud communication. The alarms are generated if the ES/AS-P, at some point, was able to connect to the cloud, but then taken off the internet while the setting was "Auto/Enabled". Resolution Upgrade the system to EBO version 3.2.1 or to the latest available version. According to Release Notes for EBO version 3.2.1 this issue should have been fixed in that version, see defect 42293 in Release Notes If the issue is still present see the solution below. The only way to reset the alarm is to have a successful connection to the cloud(Internet) again. Make sure the ES/AS-P has internet access Now the Cloud alarms should go away. Verify that they disappear. Go to the Control Panel in Workstation and click Cloud Connectivity Set the Communication setting to Disable and save the changes. Take the BMS Server off the internet again

Issue Getting error message: “Login Failed - Could not connect to fox server. Check that fox and web SSL settings match or try connecting using https.” when trying to connect to G3 station via a web browser. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment In Niagara G3, Version 3.7.106 Cause Security setting for the Web browser and Fox Service do not match, or the FOX or FOXS port is being blocked. In Niagara G3, Version 3.7 and later, users can set up SSL for both HTTP and FOX connections. The intention is that, when using the applet, SSL settings for HTTP and FOX must match (i.e. HTTPS/FOX or HTTP/FOXS are not allowed). In Niagara G3 3.7 update1 and earlier, users can connect to the applet using the invalid HTTPS/FOX combination. In addition, when loading the applet while using HTTP/FOXS, users are redirected back to the login screen with no error message. In NiagaraAX 3.7 update2 and later, users attempting to use the applet with an invalid HTTPS/FOX or HTTP/FOXS connection will be redirected to the login screen. An error message will appear indicating what went wrong. The Web and Fox settings do not match. They must be set to either HTTP/FOX or HTTPS/FOXS. We’ve found that there is a condition where the error message still displays even though both Fox Service and HTTP match. Reason being is during login to a station via web browser, a check is performed to determine if the Fox Service match the HTTP setting be used. If accessing via HTTP, then port 1911 (FOX) is checked. If accessing via HTTPS, then port 4911 (FOXS) is checked. We found that the corresponding, FOX or FOXS, port were not opened.  Resolution Open the needed FOX or FOXs port: Depending on if HTTP or HTTPS is used, the correct port must be opened for the corresponding FOX or FOXS connection. Port 1911 needs to be open if using HTTP/FOX connections, and if using HTTPS/FOXS, port 4911 needs to be open. Port need to be open to bidirectional TCP traffic.
