Numeric Input, Numeric Output and Numeric Public, differences

Issue What is the difference between a Numeric Input, Numeric Output and Numeric Public within a script program. Is using a Numeric Public a less efficient choice (as opposed to using a Numeric Input or Numeric Output) that will generate negative overhead in the AS? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server (AS, AS-P or AS-B) Building Operation Workstation b3 and Infinet controllers Cause Want to determine best practices when choosing numeric types during script programming. Resolution Numeric Input is a read only numeric (from the point of view of the script program) that accepts a binding. Numeric Output is a write only numeric (from the point of view of the script program) that accepts a binding. Numeric Public is both read and write (from the point of view of the script program). Numeric Public also accepts a binding. (A Numeric Public can be bound to both a Graphic and a Value Object to allow overriding of values from a Graphic. See SBO Script Public.zip for an example) When choosing the numeric type in a script program there is no overhead cost difference between using one of these numeric types vs the others. Also check out the Script Programming - Writing the Script Program Quick-Help video on the Exchange. NOTE b3 and Infinet Controller scripts do not support "Numeric Public", but "Numeric Output", in these controller scripts, can be used in a similar way to "Numeric Public" The Bound value is read by the script as well as being written to.

How do I find the IP address of a third party BACnet device?

Issue When browsing the IP network using the WorkPlace Commissioning Tool, third party devices are displayed in addition to the I/A Series BACnet devices but no information is known about those devices. Product Line TAC I/A Series Environment WorkPlaceTech Commissioning Tool 3rd party BACnet IP & MS/TP devices Cause 3rd party BACnet devices are sometimes connected to the IP network without the knowledge of the engineer  programming the I/A Series system. Resolution When performing a global browse of the IP network, unknown devices are sometimes displayed in the WorkPlaceTech Commissioning Tool device list display.  Since all data columns are not necessarily displayed, some of the device information may not be able to be directly determined. Right-click in the column headers and a menu of available data columns will be displayed. The following columns may be displayed at a minimum to allow identification of the devices on the network as well as the BACnet routing path to those devices:     Instance     Vendor     Model     Router     Network     Address   If the device is a BACnet IP device, the "Address" will be displayed as an IP Address and Port.  For example the address of a BACnet IP device communicating via port 47821 at IP 10.159.34.238 Address   =  10.159.34.238 : 47821   If the device is a BACnet MS/TP device under a BACnet IP device, the address is the MAC address of the device on the MSTP bus and the Router is the address of the BACnet IP router to that device in Hexadecimal numbers.  For example, for MSTP device #4 under BACnet IP Router address, 10.159.34.238 : 47821 10 = 0A, 159 = 9F, 34 = 22, 236 = EC and 47821 = BA CD  Address   =   4 Router      =   0A-9F-22-EC-BA-CD   If the device provides vendor and model information, that information will be displayed in the appropriate columns.

How to change a BACnet b3 Controller's Device ID in EcoStruxure Building Operation

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 Services for assistance. Issue For various reasons, it may be necessary at times to change a b3's Device ID (Object ID) to avoid a duplicate. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server (ES) Building Operation Automation Server (AS) BACnet Cause There is little or no formal documentation on steps to change the Device ID of an existing B3 controller. Resolution As seen in the screenshot below, once a b3 is added to the network, its Device ID, EBO Object ID, can not be changed.  The reason for this is that the Device ID references the device and objects contained within it.  Once the ID is changed, such references will become orphans. To successfully give the b3 a different Instance/Device ID the b3 must be deleted from the MSTP Network in the Building Operation database and recreated   Write down the b3's Serial Number, MAC Address, Model, and BACnet Name before deleting it. Right-click and Export all BACnet Objects within the b3's Application Folder to file (.xml) Delete the b3 from under the MSTP network. Re-create the b3 manually using its S/N, MAC, Model, Name, etc but enter the new Device ID Commission/Download the b3 to get the new ID to take effect Import the File (.xml) exported in step 2 back into the newly created b3's Application Folder Commission/Download the controller again Important: References to the old Device ID will no longer work and must be re-created.

What is the replacement for the SVT controller range?

Issue The discontinuation of the SVT controller due to component obsolescence. Product Line Field Devices Environment SVT Optimiser 4201 4251 Cause What replacements are available for the SVT 4201 / 4251 controllers? Resolution Important Note - The replacement controller mentioned in this article is no longer available, and therefore a replacement for the SVT 4201 / 4251 is not available. The SVT controller range has been discontinued due to component obsolescence. The SVT controller was a basic optimiser that performed the start calculation using only an internal temperature sensor. There are no exact replacements for this controller available. What is available? The Schneider Electric DC1400 Optimiser / Compensator is the recommended replacement, but this is not a direct replacement. Differences in the controllers. The SVT controller provides only an optimum start, the DC1400 provides optimum start and stop. The SVT controller uses only a room temperature sensor for the start calculation, the DC1400 uses only a room temperature sensor and an outside temperature sensor for the start/stop calculations. The SVT controller has a dedicated "Boost" relay, which allows overriding of a CSC compensator, and control valve. This is an internal function with the DC1400 optimiser/compensator. The DC1400 has many other built in functions.   Controller wiring - Modifications will be required. SVT general wiring connections. Relay R1 is the main plant relay and relay R2 is the boost relay. To see the full controller details, please click SVT Optimiser DS2001 0210.pdf DC1400 general wiring details.   To see the full controller details, please click DC1400 DS2044A.pdf Controller Sensors As already indicated, the SVT controller uses only a space temperature detector, and this sensor is NOT suitable to use with the DC1400. The DC1400 controller will, as a minimum, require a room temperature sensor and an outside temperature sensor, meaning that extra wiring for the outside temperature sensor, and the sensor itself, will need to be installed. For details on suitable sensors, please refer to What sensors does the DC1400 optimiser/compensator require?

TAC EM 5 Actuator requires replacement

Issue TAC EM 5 Actuator requires replacement. Product Line Field Devices Environment EM 5 EM5C EM5 Actuator Cause TAC EM 5 Actuator requires replacement Resolution The TAC EM5 Actuator is totally obsolete and no direct replacement is currently available. Details of the TAC EM5 Actuator can be found in EM5 OBSOLETE.tmp.pdf. The TAC EM5 Actuator was capable of use in control systems having alternative electrical wiring connections.   Alternative 1 Actuator electrical connections comprising 24 Vac power supply and 2-10 Vdc / 4-20 mA DC positioning signal. In instances where the positioning signal is 2-10 Vdc, the TAC EM5 Actuator may be replaced by the S-E MD10A-24. Details of the S-E MD10A-24 Actuator may be viewed in MD10A S-E.pdf. N.B. The S-E MD10A-24 should be checked for electrical compatibility with other control system devices that it is to be integrated with. It is unlikely that it will be mechanically compatible with the other control system devices such as the Control Valve Body. Arrangements may therefore need to be made for the design and manufacture of a suitable Linkage Kit.   Alternative 2 Actuator electrical connections comprising 24 Vac power supply and 2-10 Vdc / 4-20 mA positioning signal with 16 Vdc output. In instances where the positioning signal is 2-10 Vdc, the TAC EM5 Actuator may be replaced by the S-E MD10A-24. It should be noted however that no 16 Vdc output is available from the S-E MD10A-24 and none can be connected. A 16 Vdc power supply should therefore be installed to provide power to any external Controllers or Auxiliary Units.

Field Devices - What is the replacement for the Drayton Autotherm?

Issue What is the replacement for the Drayton Autotherm? Environment Drayton Autotherm Cause The Drayton TA/L1 actuator is obsolete, and no like for like actuators are available, this makes the Autotherm controller unusable. Resolution The TA/L1 actuator provides positional feedback to the Autotherm controller, and actuators providing feedback are very few, and providing the correct feedback is not possible. The Autotherm controller provides considerable functionality, and in our current  ranges of controllers, these cannot be matched. To upload the Autotherm data sheet, please click HERE.     The most appropriate replacement controller is CSC5352. This device will provide a compensated heating system with a timed start, the output relay can be used to enable the hot water system. Please click HERE to upload the data sheet. If separate time periods are required for the heating system and how water system, then the DC1100/1400 should be considered. Please click HERE to upload the data sheet. Please note that in both of the above options, new sensors will be required and possibly actuators too.

Disabling TLS and SSH

Issue There isn't enough documentation on how to disable the different connection protocols. I.e. TLS or SSH. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Workstation Building Operation Automation Server Cause Increase the security of the system. Resolution SSL Communication Security Settings: You can edit SSL configuration in WorkStation Control Panel's Security Settings or in the Device Administrator SSL Security Settings tab. SSLv1,v2,v3 are all implicitly disabled. In EBO 2022 (4.0) or higher, TLS 1.3 is available and used as default when logging on with WebStation and for server-server communication with HTTPS. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are by default disabled but can be enabled in Control Panel. WorkStation is using TLS 1.2, disabling it would prevent logging on to WorkStation. In WorkStation, the only valid protocols are shown when you hover the mouse over disabled protocols. See below.   SSH Port: Port used for communication with Device Administrator can be disabled or changed so that the automation server communicates on another port using SSH. It is also possible to disable all SSH communication. SSH communication settings are available in Automation Server Properties – Network Tab, as shown below. Refer to Disabling Port 22 on SmartX Server and Adding an Additional SSH Port for a SmartX Server .  For more Security guidelines,  refer to EcoStruxure Building Management - System Hardening Guide, Security Overview, and Information Technology System Planning Guide

How software permissions work in EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO)

Issue How Permissions works in EBO Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Workstation Cause Software Permissions are used to control user activities in a software application. For example, permissions can be setup to manage the type of data and commands the user has permission to within a workspace, panel, or domain. Resolution EBO software permissions comprise path permissions and command permissions. Path Permission: Path permissions give a user or user account group basic permissions to the objects defined in a path. The permission level set on a path applies to all sub levels unless you set a new permission level for a sub level. Command Permission: To make the system even more flexible and useful, you can assign a user account group with special command permissions. Use the command permission to control exceptions from path permissions that allow or deny actions on specific commands. Command permissions will not restrict a user from specific properties of a given window. They function to remove items from Action or Right Click menus. EBO uses the following basic rules to interpret software permission priorities: The path permission settings of lower branches overrule the settings of higher branches within a user account group For example, a user account group has the Read permission to the path /Trend_Logs and Full Access permission to the subbranch /Trend_Charts. Users in the user account group have permission to modify the objects in the /Trend_Charts but can only view the objects in the superior /Trend_Logs. If the path /System has the permission level Read, and the subbranch /Alarms has the permission level Full Access, the users in the group have full access to the objects in the /Alarms path. The highest permission rule wins between user account groups. For example, if a user has inherited the permission to accept an alarm from one group, this overrules settings from other groups that deny the user the permission to acknowledge alarms. The software permissions for a single user account overrule the permissions of any inherited user account group permissions. The path permission rules also apply to the basic commands Create, Copy, Paste, Cut, Move, Rename, and Delete. For example, you only need the Read path permission level to copy an object but you need the Full Access path permission level to paste an object. See the table for more details.       Download Software Permission.pdf, the detailed guide about how permission works in EcoStruxure Building Operation (Formerly known as SmartStruxure) and how to make it work.  Check out the SmartStruxure Software Permissions Quick-Help video on the Exchange.

Xenta Server "Run" light is solid red with no communication via Ethernet

Issue Xenta Server reports it is in FAILSAFE mode without shorting out terminals 9 and 10. After connecting via HyperTerminal, restarting and trying to reset the IP address, the screen continues to scroll back to dsh/> Xenta Server has gone offline and can not connect directly to it using Ethernet. The Run light is flashing Green on first start up but then reverts to red and the LON light also flashes red. During boot up it pauses and reports an error (via HyperTerminal) in loading the RAM disk.  IP Address is set to 172.22.1.5 and can not change it.  Not able to load any firmware into the device – error received. "Error: Could not create remote directory." Product Line Satchwell MicroNet, TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Xenta Server 527, 511, 555 Xenta Server 701, 721, 731 Cause Unknown corruption of the Xenta Server hard drive / flash drive, possibly due to electrical noise. Resolution To attempt to recover this device, try to format the device’s flash drive. To achieve this you can follow these steps using HyperTerminal or an equivalent application: (For further assistance with connecting to Xenta Servers and HyperTerminal refer to Connecting a serial cable to a Xenta 5/7/9xx controller).   Login and type the command FORMAT.  (May require device to be placed physically into the fail-safe mode by shorting terminals 9 and 10). The format command can take up to 3 minutes to complete but you should see the confirmation through HyperTerminal while this is occurring. If you have placed the device into Fail-safe mode, remove the link on terminal 9 & 10. Restart the device, by either cycling the power or typing the command RESTART through HyperTerminal. Set the IP address and IP settings (command SETIP). Install the latest firmware.

During the download you may receive an error regarding "Failure to get the hardware version from the target device…", select OK Continue the installation The download will then occur, it will take some time and may appear that the software is not responding but this is normal. Be patient and if you don’t receive any errors then all should be ok. The device should now restart, after a 1-2 minute window the “RUN” LED should be a solid green. If after following these procedures, the device is still not responding as expected please send into Repairs via your normal repair process.
