Issue How to show raw card data of a badged card in Security Expert. Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Custom Card Format Cause Need to configure a custom card format and need to see the raw bit string to determine this. Resolution Displaying a cards raw data is a function that can be set in the Reader expander. 1. Confirm that the Display Card Data When Invalid option is enabled on the Reader tab under Misc Options. Misc options Display Card Detail When Invalid: When enabled, the reader expander will display the actual card data received from the reader when the card number is not known. This can be used to interface with custom third party applications that require their own processing of card information. This option is enabled by default and can be used to add card data to a user when operating Security Expert. When disabled the reader will display the card number not found message. 2. Next, set the Reader format on the Reader tab under Configuration to Any bit (raw). any bit raw 3. Now when badging a card at this reader port it should populate two events. One for the Card Number Raw Data and another for the Facility Code Raw Data.   Example: Read Card Number Raw Data: 46160846 Read Facility Code Raw Data: 436207616 Put the facility code into a Programmer Calculator to convert from Decimal to Binary. This is a 32-bit number. 00011010000000000000000000000000 Of the 32 bit number take the first 8 Binary digits (in the example this is 0001 1010) and convert this back to decimal. 00011010 bin = 26 dec What you should see in the decimal field is the bit length the card uses. Now in the Reader Format, it’s an experiment to find out which of the Bit options would correspond to the cards. (In the example above you would need to look through the 26 bit options.)

Issue How to turn on and release a specific command priority on a BACnet point? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment ES AS Bacnet interface Script programming Cause Wants an example script program to turn on/ off specific BACnet command priorities in a BACnet device. Resolution To control a specific Digital or Analog Output in a BACnet device, from a script program you would use a Numeric Output in the program that has its value set as required by the program. This Output from the program is then bound to the specific command priority attribute of the point to be controlled. To release control from that Command Priority the "Relinquish" keyword is used in the program to Null that specific command priority and allow lower commands to take control of the output.   Here is an example AS test program that turns on a Digital Output for 4 seconds and then releases it for 4 seconds. The Numeric Output DOControl should be bound to the required Output Command Priority 2, it is written as a fallthru program. Notice; the Relinquish command is releasing the output from Command Priority 2 as used in this example.   Numeric Output DOControl DOOnLine: DOControl = Active Wait4: If TS > 4 Then goto DOOffline Else goto Wait4 DOOffline: Relinquish(DOControl,2) Wait4More: If TS > 4 Then goto DOOnline Else goto Wait4More   This type of script program can be located in the Application of the BACnet interface and control outputs on 3rd party BACnet products or b3 controllers. Note: For control of b3 outputs it is often better to put an appropriate control program (Not the above code) within the b3 controller itself, making it more robust in case of comms failure and also reducing communications traffic.

Issue Changing the default port numbers for the Fox, Platform Daemon and HTTP ports in I/A Series G3 Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series G3 Enterprise Network Server / Enterprise Network Controller Cause There is a need to change the default port numbers of the Fox, Platform and HTTP ports used in I/A Series G3. Below are the descriptions of the ports usage and their default port numbers: TCP port 1911 (Fox port) Default port for a station's Fox Service used for Workbench to station and station to station communications TCP port 80 (HTTP port) Default port for a station's Web Service used in browser access (Hx, Wb) TCP port 80, 3011 (HTTP and Platform Daemon ports) Default ports for Workbench Platform connection Resolution The default ports for the Fox and HTTP ports can be changed during the process of creating a new station. Follow the following procedures if the ports need to be changed after the station has been created. To change the Fox port: In Workbench, open the station. Expand 'Config' > 'Drivers'. Open the Property Sheet of the NiagaraNetwork. Expand the 'Fox Service' and you can change the port number from the default of 1911. To change the HTTP: In Workbench, open the station. Expand 'Config' > 'Services'. Open the Property Sheet of the WebService and you can change the Http Port number from the default of 80. To change the Platform Daemon port: In Workbench, open the host's Platform. In the Platform view, go to the Platform Administration. In the Platform Administration view, click on the 'Change HTTP Port' button to change the default port.

Issue When attempting to start the Enterprise Server, the user receives the following error message: "Windows could not start the Building Operation Enterprise Server service on Local Computer: Error 216: 0xd8" Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Microsoft Windows Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Cause Windows error 216: 0xd8 means "The version of %1 is not compatible with the version you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher." It is likely that this error is being received due to the EBO Enterprise Server/Central being installed on a 32-bit Windows Operating System. Resolution Beginning in EBO 2.0 it is no longer supported for the Enterprise Server to run on a 32-bit Operating System. Reference the Enterprise Server Specification Sheet for the appropriate product version you are using to find the list of supported Operating Systems. The Enterprise Server/Central should then be installed on one of the supported 64-bit Operating Systems.

Issue What are the IO wiring requirements for the IO Modules? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Analogue, Digital, Input, Output Cables UI-16, DI-16, AO-8-x, AO-8-V-x UI-8, DO b3 Inputs Cause The existing documentation does not specify the exact cable types to be used. Resolution Different types of sensors can be used that come from different legacy systems, so cable types specified for the legacy systems will be appropriate for the same sensor type being connected to an Automation Server I/O module. If you are using Xenta sensors with the 1.8K Ohm thermistors you should use the wiring rules as per the Xenta documentation. Of if you use Continuum 10K Ohm sensors, use the Continuum IO wiring rules etc. Some suitable cables for most Analogue and Digital input, also analogue output applications are: 18 AWG (16 x 30) 0.823 mm2 - single pair screened e.g. Belden 8760 22 AWG (7 x 30) 0.325mm2 - single pair screened e.g. Belden 8761 The maximum distances that these cable can be run are dependent on the input requirements, for Temperature inputs this will depend on the temperature range and accuracy required. For examples of of these cable distances see links below: Continuum 10K Ohm sensors (also applicable for b3 controller inputs). Xenta 1.8K Ohm sensors For digital outputs cable should be used with appropriate size (current rating) to the loads being switched. It is recommended to use screened cables and also ensure correct connections for analogue inputs as detailed in How to wire an Analog input to an IO Module.

Issue Device ID / Device Instance of SE8000 series BACnet controllers Duplicate BACnet Network Address alarms How to have 254 SSL Room Controllers on an Automation Server (AS) as shown in the SBO Automation Server and SE7000 and SE8000 - Architectural Guidelines Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert, EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Automation Server Enterprise Server SE8000 Room Controller BACnet Cause There can be confusion from the difference in naming between SmartStruxure Lite(SSL) Room Controller(RC), SmartStruxure Building Operation and even Niagara(JACE). Bacnet Instance number in SSL = Object ID in SmartStruxure Building Operation COM Address in SSL = MAC Address in SmartStruxure Building Operation Resolution On the AS, considered is the Object ID of the two Comm Ports (as with all object IDs) they need to be unique across the system. A common ID is 1001 for CommA and 1002 for CommB of the first AS, then on the second AS CommA 2001, CommB 2002 etc. The key thing with BACnet is that every object (point, device, program, port etc) must have a unique Object ID. The SE8000 uses the Com Address referred to as the BACnet MAC Address in the AS. This, as detailed in BACnet COM Address of Room Controller SE7000 and SE8000, is the address range on just that one MS/TP bus. 1 – 127 are valid addresses, the AS (or bus master) will be address 0. If a second AS is on the same system this could use 83001 – 83127 for CommA, 84001 – 84127 CommB etc. Also SE8000 uses the BACnet Instance number which is called the BACnet Object ID in the AS. (This is the ID which must be unique across the whole system) So if you have the 2 ports used on one AS all 254 devices must have unique ID’s. When changing the Comm address in the SSL SE8000 to any value between 1 and 127, the Instance number will change as well. For example Comm address 9 would result in an Instance number of 83009. These will cover 127 stats that will go on CommA, and result in Instance numbers between 83001 and 83127. Any value above 127 will keep the Instance number unchanged. For CommB however, a site would need to change the Instance number manually. For example the first RC connected to CommB would be the 128th and would default to address 83127. So it is required to manually change the Instance number to 1083001 (up to 1083127). This defines unique Comm Addresses for ComB on the remaining 127 RC. When using an Automation Server (AS) you can find the Object ID and MAC address for devices on MSTP by using WorkStation and going to AS > System > Hardware > BACnet devices > Network_xxxx. A screen shot is below with the added columns Status, System Status, Object ID, and MAC address. In this first example, b3 controllers use the Object ID or Device ID of their serial numbers so each b3 is unique across the network. B3 controllers with serial numbers greater than 4194302 (the maximum allowed Object ID in BACnet) will be assigned a Device Object ID using a hashing algorithm to ensure it is unique. From an SE8000 series RC, BACnet network set-up screen shows when BACnet is detected in models. Select desired parameter and use up or down arrow to set parameter to desired value. The default BACnet instance number is generated by the model number and COM address of the controller. For example, The instance number of a SE8300A5B00 with a COM address of 57 is generated as "83057." The default instance number appears first. To change the instance number, use number pad and press Accept and Save. Below is a screenshot of the WorkStation logged into an AS, with the BACnet Interface and the MSTP network. The added columns show the Object ID and MAC address. Below is a screen shot of the WorkStation logged into the AS, with the System > Hardware Devices > Network_xxxx. The added columns show the Object ID and MAC address.  The screen shot below is the AS > BACnet Interface > MSTP Network > Configuration Settings.
