Issue Need to know the smallest change that an Input can measure or that an Output can provide. Environment All Continuum controllers. Cause Need to know for specification compliance or to determine the smallest measurable change in an Input. Resolution Some of our controllers support inputs with a 10 bit resolution and some support 12 bit resolution. As a rule, all 5.115v inputs are 10 bit and all 10v inputs are 12 bit. You can see which resolution each controller supports by viewing the Datasheet for each controller and noting the value of the "Input Resolution" and voltage range of the inputs (normally 0-10VDC). As an example, the b3920 shows an input resolution of 2.5mV on its 0-10VDC inputs. This equates to a 12 bit resolution as shown below.      2 x = 10VDC / 0.0025 VDC      2 x = 4000      x * log(2) = log(4000)      x = log(4000) / log(2)      x = 11.96578 or 12 bit   Further, a b3800 has an input resolution of 10 bits on its 0-5.115VDC inputs.      5VDC / 2 10 = 0.00499V or 5 mV You can find the individual controller Datasheets on Ecobuildings. Navigate to the Download Center and search the controller model number. Then narrow results by Asset Type = 'Specification Sheet'.  Most of the new Datasheets now note both the Input and Output resolutions.

Issue Having difficulties integrating an SED-T stat with the MPM (Stat not being "learned" by the MPM) Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment SmartStruxure Lite Multi-Purpose Manager SED-T00 SED-TS0 SED-TH0 SED-THS Cause Installation manual does not provide enough information Resolution Commissioning tips and recommendations   Dip Switches: SED-T series stats come directly from production with all dip switches set to 0. The dip switches settings must be changed otherwise the device will not send any telegrams. Tip: When pairing an EnOcean Temperature Sensor with the MPM, always set at least one pin of the DIP switch to the ON position before learning it in. Otherwise the MPM will not display any readings regardless of dip switch configuration even if the Enocean ID had been populated in the EODC object. The workaround at this point would be to click on the learn button again, the device will be learned successfully when the “RSSI” value and a “Last Communication” time stamp are displayed.   Example on how to use the dip switches: If the dip switches are set to 1= OFF, 2 = ON, 3 = ON, 4 = OFF, the stat would wake up every 10 seconds and take a look at the values. if they changed, the stat will send a new telegram with the new value. if the value did not change however, the stat will go back to sleep until the next 10 seconds elapse (first iteration). If the value did still did not change before the 7th iteration, then the stat will randomly send a telegram with the unchanged value at any time between the 7th and the 14th iteration. that is a minimum of 10*7 = 70 seconds and maximum of 10*14 = 140 seconds.   Solar cell: When removing the unit from the box for the first time, its energy banks (super capacitor) need to be charged using one of the methods below in order to be able to learn the device. A minimum of 2.1VDC is required before the stat can wake up and send a telegram and Ideally, the Super cap voltage should be between 4 to 5Volts. Method 1: Power the sensor with 24VAC for 1 hour (3volts/hour) Method 2: expose the solar cell to light for x amount of time depending on the light source: 1- Room with LED panels: 24hr minimum charging time (0.1Volts/hour) 2- Lit room with day light: 3-4 hours minimum charging time (0.7Volts/hour) 3- Direct sunlight: 1/2 hour minimum charging time (3.5Volts/hour)   Battery: The 20mm coin cell battery does not charge the super capacitor, however it slows down the depletion of super capacitor once its charge drops below 2.1Volts.

Issue In versions of Cyberstation prior to 2.0 there was no way to determine if a valid attempt had been processed by the access engine in the controller before granting access to the door. This limitation made it impossible to implement custom access control sequences such as 'Two-Man Rule' or 'Man Trap' sequence unless the door was configured WITHOUT a door switch. Not having a door switch configured in the door made the implementation awkward as well as less secure, since the status of the door (Closed/Open) could not be determined. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment CyberStation ACX57xx controller CX9680 controller Cause Door 'Valid Attempt' flag not available before has been added to Continuum in Cyberstation 2.0, ACX57xx 1.100042 and CX9680 2.100042 Both the new version of Cyberstation as well as the new version of the controller firmware are required to get the new functionality. Resolution In order to improve the physical access control functionality in Continuum a new flag has been added to the door object. The name of the new flag is 'ValidAttempt' The value of 'ValidAttempt' is set to true when the access engine has processed a credential presented at the door (card or card & PIN) and has determined the credential can be granted access to the door. The value of the 'ValidAttempt' flag is reset to false after one scan. HOW IS 'ValidAttempt' DIFFERENT FROM 'ValidAccess'? When a door is configured with a door switch 'ValidAttempt' is set to true immediately after the access engine validates the credentials, determines that they are valid and  grants access by unlocking the door, the 'ValidAccess' flag will remain FALSE until the person gains access by opening the door as detected via the door switch. Click HERE to see a sample program demonstrating the use of the new 'Valid Attempt' functionality. In this example a bank has specified that access to the bank's vault must follow these rules: Not one is to be allowed alone in the vault. Access to the vault is by two people at a time, no more than two people are allowed in the vault. Vault's door must be configured with door switch in order to alarm on forced entry as well as door ajar.

Issue Xenta 511/527/911: Recovering from a bad download Environment Xenta 511, 527, 911 Cause If the 511/527/911 has suffered an error during the download process and the system starts behaving abnormally, then the device needs to be taken back to a boot state. Resolution Connect to the 511/527/911 using the serial connection on port B Use HyperTerminal to log in. Type "format" command to format the device. Once the process has completed, log in as super user (root/root by default) and set the IP address as detailed in the device manual. Verify that you can ping the device from a computer and then run the appropriate system program for the device you are working with. Select option B Install Full System. This will verify the current program is in the device as well as let you change the color scheme. Once this is completed you should be able to download the existing or new XBuilder project to the device.

Issue Creating an object in a BACnet B3 or Infinet controller results in "Invalid Handle ID" or "Unable to insert row in Database Table" error Environment BACnet B3 Infinet controller i2 controller Cause Most commonly this is caused by having too many objects in a B3 or Infinet controller. There is a maximum amount of objects 255, Approximately 50 of them are reserved for system reserved variables and objects, leaving approximately 200 that can be user created in these types of controllers. Resolution One way to determine if this is the problem is to select the controller through Continuum Explorer and get an object count of how many objects are in the controller. If you are seeing roughly 200 objects then try and delete one object to see if you can create a new one. If you can then you have run into the above problem and you need to re-think the programming of the controller.

Issue TAC Xenta programmable controllers (28X, 30X, 401) can have trend logs stored in memory on the controller.  Each programmable device has a different amount of storage space allocated to trends. Product Line Field Devices Environment Xenta programmable controllers (280, 281, 282, 283, 300, 301, 302, 401, 401:B) Cause The settings of a Xenta trend log (how often a point is read, how much data is stored) need to be made with the memory capacity in mind. Resolution This information can be found on the following data sheets :  Xenta 280, Xenta 300, Xenta 401. Each of the programmables can hold up to 50 trend log definitions.  But the frequency of the polling and length of storage for the trends need to be altered.  The limitation in memory is how many data points can be stored, and is dependent also upon the data type. Trend Logging in the TAC Xenta 280 Total logging capacity approx. 650 floating point numbers   or approx. 1,300 integers   or approx. 10,000 digital values   Trend Logging in the TAC Xenta 300 (HW2 or higher) Total logging capacity approx. 4,000 floating point numbers   or approx. 8,000 integers   or approx. 60,000 digital values   Trend Logging in the TAC Xenta 401 Total logging capacity approx. 7,000 floating point numbers   or approx. 15,000 integers   or approx. 110,000 digital values

Issue Site has existing CX/bCX with many i2s/b3s on field bus that need to be moved to a different CX/bCX, want to create a dump file from the existing CX/bCX that can then be imported into the new CX/bCX to create the devices and then do a 'Send to database' from the devices once they are online in the new CX/bCX. Environment CyberStation CX9xxx bCX4xxx bCX9640 Cause Documentation Resolution In the Continuum Explorer expand the existing CX/bCX then click on the InfinityInfinetCtlr folder. Pull down the 'Options' menu and set the 'Send To Text File Options' to DO NOT DUMP CHILD OBJECTS Select ALL the field devices on the right pane, right click and perform a 'Send to Text File' operation The resultant .dmp file when imported into the new CX/bCX will create all the field devices using the same names and ids they had in the old CX/bCX NOTE: The file may have to be edited to match the Network/Controller name.

Issue When schedules, reports, trend logs, loops or any calendars are loaded, Internet Explorer is rejecting the control and will not host it. IE will then throw a "Cannot Create .net Editor" error. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment .Net 4.51 Continuum webClient Server Internet Explorer Cause Microsoft has stopped allowing IE to host controls from .net 2.0 and 1.1 by default. Resolution In order for these controls you must do the following on all of your client machines: Note: Always make a copy of the registry on the machine before making any modifications Open regedit Update the .NetFramework key as follows: On an x86 Operating System Add a DWORD attribute with the name EnableIEHosting to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework Set the value to 1 On an x64 Operating System Add a DWORD attribute with the name EnableIEHosting to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework Set the value to 1 Reboot the computer At this point you should be able to start WebClient and run the .net editors without any problems. The following Microsoft Article discusses this issue: Application Compatibility in the .NET Framework.

Issue What is Tuning? (History, DDC, PID, FLT) Environment I/NET Site Cause When speaking of History, DDC, PID, and FLT, what is Tuning?  Resolution Tuning is the on-line, automatic adjustment of PID or Floating module parameters.

Issue JACE 645 Ethernet ports usage Environment JACE 645 Network Controller Cause JACE 645 has 2 Ethernet ports.  Resolution LAN1 is the primary network port for the JACE645. As per the JACE Install and Startup Guide, LAN2 (secondary port) can be used in the following scenarios.  Intended usage (of LAN2) is for: - Isolating a "driver's" Ethernet traffic from the primary (LAN1) interface. OR - In some cases, LAN2 may be set up with a standard, fixed, IP address that is used only by a company's service technician, when on site. This allows access to the JACE without disconnecting it from the customer's network, or without connecting the technician's service PC to the customer's network (which might go against local IT security policies). Note that only one LAN port can be set as DHCP. If enabling LAN2, you typically specify another (network) static IP address and the appropriate subnet mask. Also note the following: If enabling both LAN ports, note that the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address must be on different subnets, otherwise the ports will not function correctly. For example, with a typical "Class C" subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, setting Interface 1=192.168.1.99 and Interface 2=192.168.1.188 is an invalid configuration, as both addresses are on the same subnet. A JACE does not provide IP routing or bridging operation between different Interfaces (LAN ports, GPRS, dialup). All of this also applies to the "third interface" provided by the "WiFi option" if installed in a JACE (at the time of this document, available for a JACE-700 only). However, it is likely the WiFi interface will be used as the primary interface in most cases (no LAN cabling available to the JACE).

Issue What is the benefit in having separate MPM monitor and coordinator? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Expert Environment MPM Cause In smaller networks, it is acceptable to have the monitor function as the coordinator. However, in larger networks, the monitor becomes occupied with managing the traffic of all the remote MPMs, resulting in significant CPU usage. This applies to zigbee, UDP, and CANbus networks. Making the monitor a coordinator does not provide any advantages; it only introduces disadvantages. Resolution In smaller networks, it is acceptable to have the monitor act as the coordinator. However, in larger networks, the monitor's workload increases as it manages the traffic of multiple remote MPMs, consuming a significant amount of CPU resources.

Issue Can a 7740 read 4 to 20 milliamp input? Environment I/NET site Cause Some sensors will only output a 4-20ma signal and the controller must be able to read it in order to display the sensor values. Resolution Although the controller is calibrated to read 1 to 5 volts, a voltage sensing resistor can be added to read 4 to 20 milliamps. Refer to TCON 092 for details.

Issue Auto Report Generation Environment I/NET site Cause Is there a Auto Report Generation function? Resolution I/NET displays this editor when you select Edit, Host Computer, and Auto Report Generation from the main menu. Use this editor to create new report generation schedules, or to access existing schedules. In order to automatically generate reports, I/NET relies on the Schedule Tasks function that is built into Windows. Notes: Before you create an Auto Report Generation schedule, confirm that the system date and time on your computer are accurate. The Windows Scheduled Tasks function relies on this information to run scheduled tasks. To verify or change this information, double-click the time indicator on the Windows taskbar. You must supply the password for the Windows account on which you want the scheduled task to run. The password cannot be blank (only if you are on a Network). Options The following options are available within this editor: Add — Select this function to create a new automatic report generation schedule. The system displays the Auto Report Name editor, allowing you to define a name for the new schedule. The system then displays the Auto Report Generation editor. Delete — Select this function to delete a report generation schedule. I/NET will prompt you to confirm that you wish to delete the selected schedule. You may then choose Yes to delete the schedule or choose No to keep the schedule. Modify — Use this function to change the selected schedule. When you select this function, the system displays the Auto Report Generation editor. This is the same editor that is displayed when you add a report, except that the Report Schedule Name parameter is already set and is read-only. Copy — The copy feature allows you to create a new schedule by duplicating an existing schedule. Choose an existing schedule from the list and select Copy. The system displays the Auto Report Name editor, allowing you to define a name for the new schedule. The system then displays the Auto Report Generation editor with the parameters already set. You can modify the parameter settings as necessary.

Issue Setting Up I/NET Seven Trends Product Line TAC INET Environment I/NET Seven Cause Problems configuring Trend Data Resolution I/NET displays this window when you select Add Trend, Add Cell, or Modify from the Seven Trends Definitions window. You must define the following information: Trend Definition only Select the desired point from the Point Selection dialog. Only one point may be selected for a trend definition. This field cannot be edited once the trend definition is saved. This field is not available for cell definitions. Note: You may click the ... button to return to the Point Selection dialog at any time during a new trend definition. However, once the trend definition is saved, you cannot change the selected point. Enter a unique Name for this trend or cell definition, up to 30 characters. The default name for trends is in the format Point Name -- --Trend Type if you are connected to the controller, and Point Address -- Trend Type if you are not connected. The default name for cells is in the format Cell Number -- Trend Type. Note: If you do not enter a name, the default name will change automatically with the point (or cell number) and trend type selection when you are creating a new trend. You may change the name of a trend or cell definition at any time without loss of data. Choose a Type from the drop-down list. This field cannot be edited once the definition is saved. Discrete Sample — Store the discrete state of a point at regular sample intervals. The point can be a DI, DA, DM, DC, or DO point defined with a TR extension. Analog Sample — Store the analog value of a point at regular sample intervals. The point can be an AI, AO, GI, GO, or PI point defined with a TR extension. Runtime — Store the daily runtime minutes for a point or points. The points can be DI, DC, or DO points defined with an RT extension. Consumption — Store the daily-consumed value of an accumulator point or points. The points must be PI points defined with a CN extension. Demand — Store the KWH, Peak KW, and time of Peak KW values on a daily basis for a particular demand meter. The point must be a PI point defined with a DC extension. Override — Store individual KWH values, shared KWH values, and override runtime on a daily basis for a specific zone of a Model 7750 Building Manager. The point can be a DC or DO point defined with an OB extension.   Define Transient Duration in days. The trend can be configured to automatically discard the oldest trend data after a time period you specify (1 to 45 days). Note: If you wish to archive Seven Trends data, the transient duration must be set to zero (0), indicating that the data should not be discarded. Only samples with a transient duration of zero can be archived. Enter a Cell Number (1–1023). The cell number must be greater than zero (0) in order for Seven Trends to store sample information. This field is provided for backward-compatibility with older versions of I/NET, and can be used to group samples in reports. If you are creating a new cell definition, this field can be used to auto generate trend definitions (refer to Using Cells to Generate Trend Definitions for more information). This field cannot be changed once the cell definition is saved. Otherwise, this field is not used in I/NET Seven and can be any value. Note: For manually defined trends, the cell number in the DCU editor does not need to match the cell number for the trend definition. The cell number in the trend definition is the one that will appear on reports. Select OK to save your changes. The system returns you to the Seven Trends Definitions window.

Issue "Door open too long" and "Forced door" alarm masking Environment I/NET Resident I/O Cause All of the masking, priorities, and message types may be set in the door editor. DOTL and forced door may even be configured as an alarm or message, but if the Resident I/O point is not masked for the door (08DO or 09DO), you won't receive any DOTL or forced door alarms. Resolution You can also use this arrangement to your benefit. Maybe you want all transactions to one host but you want the DOTL or forced door to go to another one in a guard station. Maybe you want only those to dial out a pager.
