How to setup custom ABA cards using Continuum NetController or ACX57xx

Issue Sites need guidance on how to setup custom ABA cards in Continuum. Environment CyberStation NetController I (CX99xx) NetController II (CX9680) AC1Plus IOU Module ACX57xx Cause The implementation of ABA cards in Continuum access control systems was designed to comply with the ISO 7811 ABA standard for magnetic stripe card. Because of this, the system only reads  one field (the PAN or Primary Account Number) from the ABA card, this field contains a number of up to 19 digits which is used as the card number. Continuum Custom ABA feature provides for maximum flexibility by allowing the 19 digit PAN field on track 2 of the mag stripe to be organized in sub fields such as site code etc. Resolution A summary of the steps to configure Custom ABA cards in Continuum is available through the CyberStation Online Help.  Open the help on the Continuum workstation and search for "Defining a Custom ABA String Format"

Xenta 913 supported BACnet object types

Issue The Xenta 913 supports several different BACnet object types but does not support all object types. Product Line TAC INET, TAC Vista Environment Xenta 913 BACnet Vista I/NET Cause The Xenta 913 is only a gateway device and is not native BACnet and thus does not support all BACnet object types. Resolution The BACnet specification outlines 49 different object types. Objects include physical points, processes and even internal operations. Most BACnet devices, including BACnet certified devices, do not support all of the object types since some of the object types are particular to specific industries and several are not commonly used. The Xenta 913 controller supports the following object types: Analog Input Analog Output Analog Value Binary Input Binary Output Binary Value Multi-state Input Multi-state Output Multi-state Value The following BACnet object types are unsupported by the Xenta 913: Access Credential Access Door Access Point Access Rights Access User Access Zone Accumulator Averaging Bit String Value Calendar Character String Value Command Credential Data Input Date Pattern Value Date Value Date Time Pattern Value Date Time Value Device Event Enrollment Event Log File Global Group Group Integer Value Large Analog Value Life Safety Point Life Safety Zone Load Control Loop Network Security Notification Class Octet String Value Positive Integer Value Program Pulse Converter Schedule Structured-View Time Pattern Value Time Value Trend Log Trend Log Multiple           Note that there is some confusion among object types. For example, while it is possible to have a Life Safety point that is a binary output, this is not the same thing as the standard Binary Output object type and the two points are not interoperable.

I/NET DBCreate database restore fail

Issue DBCreate database restore fails with error message: "The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally." Product Line TAC INET Environment I/NET Seven SQL Server 2000 all editions and SQL 2005 all editions Cause It is not possible to restore a SQL Database which was backed up using SQL 2005 back into a SQL 2000 database. Resolution The simplest method to rectify this problem would be to uninstall I/NET and SQL (Refer to Procedure for uninstalling I/NET Seven on a stand-alone host on how to do this) and then re-install I/NET using SQL 2005. The second method would be to upgrade the installed MSDE Default instance to SQL 2005 Express. There is a published white paper from Microsoft on this and is attached here: MSDEtoSQLExpress.doc.  Refer to the steps on page 11 to 14. The SQLExpress installation file is available on the I/NET CD under the folder SQLExpress\.SQLEXPR32.EXE. After performing these steps its advisable to run up DBCreate and upgrade the SQL database.

Issue Using I/NET trends in StruxureWare Building Operation Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC INET Environment I/NET StruxureWare Building Operation 1.3 Cause Ideally trends should reside in the controller rather than at the sever level as this prevents sample data loss due to communication errors.

Ensure that messaging is working so that SmartStruxure receives I/NET messages, and ensure that all controls have points to be trended, are already added to the I/NET Interface. NOTE: For the Enterprise Server level integration, the I/NET Trend Object must be configured as a Seven Trend. For the Automation Server level integration, this is not required, therefore skip to step 3. In I/NET, Select Trends>Data Inquiry/Edit View the trend you wish to see in SmartStruxure and verify that it has data. Open StruxureWare Workstation Refresh the system tree and upload any I/NET controllers that do not show a green dot. Right click on the I/NET Interface and select New>Value When the "Create Object" Window appears, name the value and click "Create" The Value will appear in the I/NET Interface Right Click on the newly created Value and select "Properties" Locate the "Point to Trend" Field Click on the "..." and select the point object you wish to trend Click the select button Verify that the Point to Trend field is correct and Click OK Wait enough time for several samples to populate. Right click on the Value object in the I/NET interface and select View>Trend log lists>New Trend log list The New Trend log List should open and values should visible. The Trend Value object under the I/NET interface will now function the same as a trend object in StruxureWare. If you wish for the I/NET trend to show up as part of an Energy Report, you will need to Ensure that the Extended Trend Log is referenced in a Meter's "Meter Trend Log" property NOTE: For the Enterprise Server Level Integration, In order for the initial connection between the StruxureWare Value Object and the I/NET Seven Trend to be enabled, the following conditions need to be true: The Controller with the I/NET point being trended must not require an upload The Controller with the I/NET point being trended must have a current save file The Controller with the I/NET point being trended must be online The I/NET workstation located on the Enterprise Server must be masked to receive data from the trend log on the controller to the Seven Trends Definition For the Automation Server Level Integration, In order for the initial connection between the StruxureWare Value Object and the I/NET Seven trend extension to be enabled, the following conditions need to be true: The Controller with the I/NET point being trended must not require an upload The Controller with the I/NET point being trended must be online The I/NET trend object and point object must have some level of masking so that the data will leave the controller.

Security Keys to enable with the Endura -E option to enable use of Endura DVRs and cameras

Issue How to enable Continuum site for use with Endura DVRs and cameras. Product Line Andover Continuum, Pelco Environment Continuum V1.91 and above Pelco Endura DVR See the Video Compatibility matrix for supported Pelco Endura products on the various Continuum versions, Cause Want to enable Continuum for use with Endura but unsure which security keys support the addition of the option and what the option provides. Resolution Why is this option required? The Endura -E option for Continuum security keys is required to be able to: Configure VideoServer objects in Continuum to use Endura DVRs. Use VideoAdministrator and VideoMonitor to configure and view Endura cameras. It is not required to be able to configure and view cameras from DigitalSentry DVR's or to view Endura cameras using VideoLayout objects that have already been configured. Which Workstations can have the option added? SU and LAN Cyberstation security keys can be enabled with the Endura -E option. This option cannot be added to the WEBC key for WebClient Servers. If configuring Endura cameras is required, a Cyberstation with the -E option must be used. WebClient browser users are able to use the VideoLayout to view DigitalSentry and Endura cameras. The Endura option is only available through the upgrade process through Repairs. There is no part number to specify to enable Endura at the time of ordering the security key. Once you have the serial number of the key, contact Repairs below. Email:  upgrades.continuum@schneider-electric.com How to tell if the option is enabled?
