Type of Acknowledgement set to 'No' on Sigma Interface object alarm

Issue After Sigma transition into EBO, upon alarm and alarm clear there is no requirement to acknowledge the alarm. In the Sigma Interface, the object alarm 'Type of Acknowledgement is set to 'No' and cannot be changed. Product Line Ecostruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause Alarm Priorities are incorrectly set in Sigma Alarm Manager. Resolution During the Data Import into EBO, the settings of the Sigma Alarm Manager is checked and the alarm acknowledgement type is set to a specific type. If no alarm priorities are set for acknowledgement in Sigma, then this is repeated in EBO.    To change to 'Single' so that alarms and alarm clears are able to be acknowledged, in Sigma: Open the Alarm Manager and go to the menu options: Configure > Acknowledgement Groups   Redistribute the alarm priorities into the the different acknowledgement groups as per the site requirement. The image below shows the default view on a new install of Sigma.   Redo the Data Import, the 'Type of Acknowledgement' is now seen to be set to 'Single'. However, If it is now showing 'Extended', then the KB article Type of Acknowledgement set to 'Extended' on Sigma Interface object alarm will explain how to change this.

API error codes while trying to connect my API to BDP

Issue Receive API error codes while trying to connect my API to BDP. Product Line EcoStruxture Building Data Platform Environment Building Data Platform Cause Receive the following Error codes: 400 Bad Request 401 Unauthorized 403 Forbidden 404 Not Found 500 Internal Server Error Resolution 400 Bad Request The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing) 401 Unauthorized Although the HTTP standard specifies "unauthorized", semantically this response means "unauthenticated". That is, the client must authenticate itself to get the requested response 403 Forbidden The client does not have access rights to the content; that is, it is unauthorized, so the server is refusing to give the requested resource. Unlike 401 Unauthorized, the client's identity is known to the server 404 Not Found The server cannot find the requested resource. In the browser, this means the URL is not recognized. In an API, this can also mean that the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist. Servers may also send this response instead of 403 Forbidden to hide the existence of a resource from an unauthorized client. This response code is probably the most well known due to its frequent occurrence on the web 500 Internal Server Error The server has encountered a situation it does not know how to handle   Successful responses 200 OK The request succeeded. The result meaning of "success" depends on the HTTP method: GET: The resource has been fetched and transmitted in the message body HEAD: The representation headers are included in the response without any message body PUT or POST: The resource describing the result of the action is transmitted in the message body TRACE: The message body contains the request message as received by the server 201 Created The request succeeded, and a new resource was created as a result. This is typically the response sent after POST requests, or some PUT requests. 202 Accepted The request has been received but not yet acted upon. It is noncommittal, since there is no way in HTTP to later send an asynchronous response indicating the outcome of the request. It is intended for cases where another process or server handles the request, or for batch processing.

Restoring the Duress Trouble Input besides Valid Access Events

Issue After a PIN Duress Event at a door, the Duress Trouble Input stays "ON" and is unable to reset or restore the trouble input until a Valid Access Event occurs at the door. Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Controller Cause Attempting to restore Duress Trouble Input remotely after an accidental PIN Duress Entry by Card Users Resolution This is the intended design and function of the PIN Duress Trouble Input. It is considered an extremely-high priority issue and must be restored by a specific physical action. Remotely restoring (via Keypad in another location) would defeat the purpose of the PIN Duress Trouble Input. This is intentional to prevent a real duress event from going unnoticed.

Displaying setpoint values on the Proview User Interface

Issue The setpoint values are displayed briefly and then change to 621.X on the Proview display? Environment All LON proview installations. Cause This occurs when the setpoints are being written into network variable inputs (nvi).  The nvi's default to using the receive heartbeat and will fallback to default after the timeout occurs.  Proview does not perform a send heartbeat function as the connection is an nv update and not an actual binding. The receive heartbeat mechanism in the MNL controllers cause the nvi values to fallback to NA upon heartbeat timeout. Resolution The heartbeat can be disabled for the setpoint nvi, however nvi values are stored in RAM (not EEPROM) and will return to default upon a controller power cycle.  The best solution is to use network configuration inputs (nci) for setpoint displays on the Proview.  These do not have the heartbeat issue and the values are maintained in EEPROM so they are not lost following a controller power cycle.
