Satchwell Climatronic Controller displays TEST on Liquid Crystal Display screen.

Issue The word TEST is displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display screen of a Satchwell Climatronic Controller when first powered up during initial installation preventing it from being commissioned. Environment Satchwell Climatronic CSC5252 CSC5352 CXR5805 CXT5605 CZT5305  Controller Display TEST LCD Screen Cause The cause of the word TEST being displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display screen of a Satchwell Climatronic Controller when first powered up during initial installation and preventing it from being commissioned is normally due to a micro processor programming error occurring during the course of production. Resolution There is no field remedy that can be applied to a Climatronic Controller displaying the word TEST on the Liquid Crystal Display screen that will enable it to be commissioned successfully. The Controller should therefore be returned to the vendor for replacement under the terms and conditions of the warranty applicable at the time of purchase.

Timestamps vary by the UTC offset in scripts based on WS timezone

Issue Timestamps in Script programs are different by an amount equal to the UTC offset of the workstation's timezone settings. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Edge Server - Standard Building Operation WorkStation Script editor Cause Take the following program as an example:   Datetime Output TimeOut, TimeOut2 TimeOut = StrToDate ("1/17/2012 15:00") TimeOut2 = StrToDate ("1/17/2012 3:00 PM") In EcoStruxure Building Operation, the values will read:  "1/17/2012 9:00:00 AM" (in this example, the UTC offset is set for -6). In servers, all time values are stored in UTC, then the offset is applied by the client.  When it receives a value from a Script program, it stores the value as UTC, then the offset for the selected timezone is applied. Resolution Write code in the Script program to adjust the time values to UTC. Check the example code below to help understand operation: Datetime Output dtOut1 Datetime Output dtOut2 String Output str1 dtOut1 = Date 'Local time, displays with added UTCOffset dtOut2 = Date - UTCOffset - DST 'Local time, adjusted by the UTCOffset and DST, displays properly Print Date to str1 'Local time String value displays properly (UTCOffset system variable is available in v2.0 or higher, DST system variable is available in EBO 2022 v4.0 or higher)

Bosch Integration on Version 3

Issue Instructions on how to configure a Bosch Integration on Version 3. Product Line Access Expert Environment Access Expert Version 3 Microsoft Windows 8.1 and above Access Expert Hosted software with Bosch integration Access Expert Premise with Bosch integration Cause Configuring a Bosch Integration on Version 3 to communicate to Access Expert. There are certain settings that need to be configured from both the Access Expert side and Bosch so that the integration can be seamless and function as designed. Resolution One of the first things when doing this Integration is to have the Bosch Appliance ordered and installed on the Network where the Bosch Panel resides. The device comes pre-configured from Feenics and all that is needed is to make the necessary changes in Access Expert using the following steps: 1. Verify that the connected instance does have the Bosch Services Enabled by going to the Hardware Provisioning and looking at the Bosch Services.  2. Click on the Bosch Services. 3. This entry would come up automatically as it was preconfigured into the Hosted Instance by Feenics. 4. Click on the Panels label and add the Bosch Panel Type from the dropdown. 5. Enter the necessary values on the various fields that correspond to the Bosch Panel, the Password must match what the Bosch Panel is using. 6. Import the Configuration and then save and close. 7. On the Bosch Panel verify that the Port is set for Port 7700, Automation Mode is set to 2 and the Firmware is 2.0 or greater If changes need to be made, you need to first connect to the Panel from RPS > make the changes > sync to the panel > disconnect from the panel Go into the appliance and stop/restart the Feenics Bosch Service within Windows Services 8. Make the necessary changes if needed then save and recycle power 9. Bring up the Hardware Tree and verify that the Panel is Online and communicating 10. All preconfigured Areas, Points, and Outputs will show up in Green, indicating that everything is working properly.

How to disable a Door Alarm with a Key Switch.

Issue Need an example on how to program a required action where a Door Switch activation triggers alarm sounder to turn on and stay on until a Key Switch is closed. Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Cause Require a programming example. Resolution There may be a number of ways of doing this, one solution is to have a Door Switch trigger an alarm in the Door's Area which triggers an Alarm Output to turn on. A Key Switch Input is linked to another Automation Area that will disarm the Door's Area which turns off the Alarm Output.   In this example we will use the following objects: Input        Door_Switch_Input Input        Key_Switch_Input Output        v_Alarm_Output        (a virtual output for this test) Area        Door_Opened_Area Area        Area_Automation Input Type        KeySwitch_InputType   Setup 1. Create an Output, in my example this is virtual output v_Alarm_Output. 2. If not already created create the Area your Door is located, in my example I created Door_Opened_Area.   3. On the CONFIGURATION tab set the alarm timings to 0. 4. On the OUTPUTS tab set the Alarm Memory Output to your alarm output. 5. create the Area that will be used as an automation area to reset the door alarm. In my example I created Area_Automation for this purpose.   6. On the CONFIGURATION tab set the alarm timings to 0. 7. Create a new Input Type, in my example this is KeySwitch_InputType. On the GENERAL tab set the Control Area to the area with your door switch in it. (Door_Opened_Area) 8. On the OPTIONS (1) tab, under MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS, set the Disarm Control Area On Input Restore and Arm Control Area On Input Alarm options. 9. If not already created, create your door switch input. In my example this is Door_Switch_Input.   10. On the AREAS AND INPUT TYPES tab set the Area to your door area and the Input Type to Instant. 11. If not already created, create your key switch input. In my example this is Key_Switch_Input.   12. On the AREAS AND INPUT TYPES tab set the Area to your automation area and the Input Type to the input type you created earlier (KeySwitch_InputType). 13. Go to a Status Page view with these two Areas listed and disarm then arm each of them. This needs to be done after any change to the Area or objects within it (such as inputs) so they will function properly with the new changes.   Notes: KeySwitch = Closed -> Alarm disarmed (Area_Automation) KeySwitch = Open -> Alarm armed (Area_Automation) To disable alarm and reset area, KeySwitch must be Closed and then Opened. DoorSwitch needs to be closed for Alarm to be re-enabled with KeySwitch.   Usage 1. Armed normal state. 2. Door Alarmed. Door_Switch opens triggering alarm in Door_Opened_Area triggering v_Alarm_Output to turn On. 3. Alarm silenced by Key_Switch. Key_Switch is Closed triggering Door_Opened_Area to be disarmed and v_Alarm_Output to turn Off . Key_Switch is Opened triggering Door_Opened_Area to re-arm. 4. Alarm will not re-trigger again until Door_Switch is closed and Area re-armed.

Obtaining Keys in Zigbee Standard Security Network

Issue Capturing packets from Zigbee Standard Security Network shows packets marked Bad FCS or Encrypted Payload Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Room Controller Cause Zigbee Standard Security Networks implement multiple keys to encrypt data for the Zigbee Network and each device Resolution This resolution assumes you have a Zigbee adapter that can capture packets in Wireshark.   Ensure zigbee_pc_keys are available in each profile you are going to use to analyze the Zigbee packets. The file location is generally: %AppData%\Roaming\Wireshark\profiles\<Profile Name>\zigbee_pc_keys   Open Wireshark and configure the Zigbee adapter NOTE: Please substitute your adapter name if not using the TI CC2531 adapter.

Rounding off a number is called Loss of Significance - IEEE 754

Issue Numbers are rounded. Why two values of nearly equal magnitude are subtracted, significant digits are lost.  This occurs in a variety of places within EcoStruxure Buildings Operation, and explained using a script program in the example below. Product Line Ecostruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Automation Server Cause In a string program and the NumToStr function, if a number (example 5.7) is entered and Save is selected, then the Value in the Variables window at the bottom shows 5.6999998. The value is altered from the original. Resolution When looking at a value in the watch window or variables view, there is no rounding so you are going to see the full length of the float number which suffers from a thing called “loss of significance” More information on float numbers can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_significance This phenomenon happens everywhere. An alternative would be to add a formatting feature to do the rounding. Script handles numbers as IEEE754 single precision floats, so the accuracy is limited to (IIRC) seven significant digits. The accuracy loss starts around 1.677E7. On www.binaryconvert.com/convert_float.html?decimal site, a decimal number can be converted to binary and then back to decimal in order to see how the decimal number will be handled in Script.

Does EBO 2022 support multi-verson for AS classic (part number - SXWAUTSVR10001)?

Issue How can I find out whether the EBO 2022 multi-version support applies to AS Classic module?  Does it apply to all the AS, AS-P, and AS-B modules? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Automation Server Cause The EBO 2022 Release Note describes that the EBO 2022 Device Administrator software is not supported on the original AS classic (part number SXWAUTSVR10001) but there is no description of the software backward compatibility of the EBO on AS classic. Resolution An AS classic can continue to exist in a multi-version system; the maximum version an AS classic can operate at is 3.1.2. It is nowhere implied that it is not supported under a multi-version setup. The statement “EBO 2022 does not support AS classic” in the EBO 2022 Release Note is misunderstood. It simply means that one cannot install EBO 2022 on an AS Classic, the same as the previous EBO 3.2 version. Note that the AS Classic will not inherit any features introduced in later EBO releases when operating in a multi-version system.

EBO Server backup process fails

Issue Unable to back up the Automation Server Unable to retrieve a working backup from an Automation Server Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Cause Corrupt configuration.db Network environment issues Power failure Resolution Database Corruption When the server backup process is initiated, the server tests the integrity of the configuration.db.  If the database does not pass the integrity test, the backup process is terminated, and no resulting backup is produced. In this case, an older backup will need to be used.  The backup should be bench tested for integrity before restoring to the production server.   Network Environment In some cases, the AS may produce a valid backup file, but when the backup is saved off of the server the file size is unusually small.  This can happen when network issues interfere with the backup save to disk process.   In such cases, Automation Server backups taken from the Enterprise server will usually be damaged as well.    You can work around this problem by connecting a Workstation laptop PC directly to the AS with an ethernet cable, thus eliminating the network from the process. Backups can also be retrieved in this way using most versions of Device Administrator.    Power Failure The power fails while the EcoStruxure BMS server is backing up and the system displays a “Failed backup” message in the Event view. The solution is to initiate a new backup when the power resumes and the EcoStruxure BMS server goes back online. Power Failure Occurs During Backup

DC1100 / DC1400 with more than 2 boilers

Issue Can the DC1100 / DC1400 serve more than 2 boilers Environment DC1100 DC1400 Cause Can the DC1100 / DC1400 serve more than 2 boilers? Resolution The DC1100 or DC1400 is primarily designed for a 1 or 2 boiler installation. However in the case of 3 boilers. Note, 2 additional relays are required: Wire Boiler 1 to Boiler 1 terminals. Wire Boiler 2 to Boiler 2 terminals. Wire the coil of the 1st 230Vac relay to Boiler 1 terminals. Wire the coil of the 2nd 230Vac relay to Boiler 2 terminals. Either wire the relay contacts in parallel or in series, the feed for each contact will be wired from the Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 terminals respectively on the controller, the output of the relay contacts will be wired to Boiler 3. This is a workaround and does have its disadvantages: Boiler 3, when wired in parallel will always be a Lead Boiler and will do more work or when wired in series it will always be a Lag Boiler and will do the least work. In the case of 4 boilers: Wire the boilers in pairs to each boiler output on the controller. Note, the boilers will lead or lag in pairs. In the case of 5 boilers: Adapt both the solutions above.
