Issue Troubleshoot Security Expert Controllers showing offline in the client. Product Line EcoStruxure Security Expert Environment Security Expert Cause Require some common troubleshooting steps to help determine why controllers may be offline to the client. Resolution The main items to check are: Refer to the Troubleshooting Security Expert Controller Connectivity - Application Note on Exchange. If a controller has failed and the Replacement controller unable to be brought online then check if controller encryption had been enabled on the replaced controller. Restart the client software. Power restart the controller. Remove power Wait for all LED's on the controller to go completely off Apply power to the controller. In the controller web interface, on the Settings page, check that Event Server 1 has the correct IP address. Check that the Firewall is disabled. Check any Anti-Virus Firewalls/settings as well. If the Firewall cannot be disabled, ensure that all required ports are open between devices. See SX-SRVR Security Expert - Network Administrators - Installation Guide for details. Restart the Security Expert services under the PC's Services option in Control Panel. These need to be restarted when any changes are made. Confirm that the User Interface, Data Server, Event Server and Download Server module versions are all the same. Go to About  > Version and check there. If the database has not been upgraded to the same version as the client software, then this can cause communications issues. On the Security Expert Server check that MSMQ is installed as this is now a requirement   Security Expert MSMQ is required (Not showing live point status / shows "Unknown Status" error)   If MSMQ was installed after Security Expert, you'd need to reinstall Security Expert to allow it to run correctly. If MSMQ is installed and controllers are still not coming online (or the controllers are "bouncing" offline/online) then anecdotal evidence suggests enabling Windows 8 Compatibility Mode may help especially for Windows Server 2016 and Server 2019. Set the Windows 8 Compatibility Mode checkbox in the Properties page for C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Security Expert\SecurityExpertEvtSvr.exe   Also, note that if a database backup has been imported, then there is a need to check/change some other settings as well to ensure everything is set up for the specific server and controller.   Under Global > Download Server confirm that your computer name is the name of the PC where the download server service is running. Under Global > Event Servers ensure that the computer name is the name of the PC where the event server service is running. Under Sites > Controllers confirm the Serial number, IP Address, Download Port, Download Server and Control and Status Request Port match what is set in the controller's configuration web page (browse to the controllers IP Address to view). On that same General tab go to Diagnostic Windows and open the download and event server windows. Review the information contained and if there are any errors shown. Right click the controller and select Get Health Status. Review the status messages displayed.

Issue TC300 Series Networking Digital Fan Coil Thermostat - Modbus Protocol Documentation Product Line Field Devices Environment TC300 Series Digital Fan Coil Thermostats Cause Modbus protocol information is needed in order to perform Modbus integration to the TC300 Series Digital Fan Coil Thermostats. Resolution The TC303 thermostats come with the option of Modbus communication for both 2- and 4-pipe configurations. Modbus is an open, widespread and well established serial communication protocol used within building automation. The support of Modbus communication allows simple integration of the TC303 thermostats to a building management system, using standard Modbus serial communications. The following models provide support for Modbus connectivity: TC303-3A2LM TC303-3A4LM TC303-3A2DLMS TC303-3A4DLMS TC303-3A2DPMS TC303-3A4DPMS The TC303 thermostats communicate as a Modbus RTU slave device over a serial RS-485 connection, allowing for the transfer of real time data. Thermostats manufactured from November 2018 (2018-W44-4)* onward can be configured to communicate at 9600 (default) or 4800 bps. The communication parameters for TC-300 thermostats manufactured prior to this date cannot be adjusted and are fixed as follows: 4800bps Baud Rate 8 Data Bits Odd Parity 1 Stop Bit The actual Modbus address of the thermostat can be set for each individual device on the RS-485 network. The address is defined via the parameter menu on the thermostat itself. The address range available is from 01 to 32 and is defined under menu item 04 of the parameter settings. For full details on this, other parameter setting options available and Modbus communications parameters/registers, please refer to the Installation Instructions.  Connection to the RS-485 network is made via dedicated terminals on the back of the thermostat and marked A (+) and B (-).   TC300 Series Digital Fan Coil Thermostat Installation Instructions TC300 Series Modulating Fan Coil Thermostat Installation Instructions   * Note - The Installation Instructions have not been updated to include the information that thermostats manufactured from November 2018 (2018-W44-4) onward can be configured to communicate at 9600 (default) or 4800 bps. 

Issue How can EcoStruxure BMS server serve data to external devices or software? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Building Operation Enterprise Central Building Operation Automation Server Building Operation Automation Server Premium Building Operation Automation Server Bundled Building Operation Edge Server - Standard Third party devices or software Cause The EcoStruxure Building Operation software supports the major communication protocols in building automation and security management. In many projects, it is required that an EcoStruxure BMS server serve data to external devices or software, E.X. HMI, SCADA or power monitoring. Resolution The following is a summary of the available options to serve EcoStruxure BMS server data to the external world: BACnet:  When you create a BACnet Interface, the system automatically creates the Application and IP network folders within the BACnet Interface folder on the System Tree. If you create a BACnet Interface for a SmartX server, you can optionally create an MS/TP network. You can create BACnet objects in BACnet application folder of EcoStruxure BMS servers and these object will be visible for external BACnet clients. More information about EBO BACnet interface: BACnet Interface   Modbus Slave network:  If you configure the Modbus Slave Network (and associate it with a serial port), you can set up any external Modbus master device to communicate with the internal Modbus Interface. In this example, a Modbus Slave Network is set up on an EcoStruxure BMS Server and the external master device is configured with the same Modbus properties as the Modbus Slave Network object. The Modbus master device can also be an HMI device. More information about Modbus serial interface: Modbus Serial Networks Modbus server network: You can create a Modbus TCP Network on an Ethernet network (TCP/IP).  You can create an internal interface which acts as the server to an external client/clients. More information about Modbus TCP interface: Client and Server Networks   MQTT: MQTT is a lightweight and flexible data transfer protocol for IoT resources. EcoStruxure Building Operation, V3.2 or higher, can be configured to send data to an MQTT broker on interval or event-driven. The below are the tested brokers: Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Amazon IoT Core IBM Watson IoT Mosquitto More information about MQTT interface: MQTT Overview LonWorks Interface: EcoStruxure BMS servers can have a local node on their networks that can act as a LonWorks node. In the local node, you can create your own NVs that can be bound to external LonWorks devices using LonWorks bindings. The NVs in your local node can then be used in EcoStruxure Building Operation bindings for applications and graphics. More information about LonWorks interface: LonWorks Engineering   SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. The EcoStruxure BMS servers support SNMP version 3. The SmartX servers support several SNMP traps. SNMP traps enable an agent to notify the management station of significant events by way of an unsolicited SNMP message. More information about SNMP: SNMP EcoStruxure Web Service (EWS) server: EcoStruxure Web Services allows seamless sharing of operational data, including alarms and historical information, between software from different Schneider Electric Business Units. When the EcoStruxure BMS server is an EcoStruxure Web Service server, it exposes objects, such as values, to another EcoStruxure system that is an EcoStruxure Web Service client. The EcoStruxure Web Service client can read and change values on the EcoStruxure BMS depending on the configuration of the EcoStruxure BMS server. More information about EBO EWS Server: EcoStruxure Web Service Server Smart Connector: A development framework that simplifies and accelerates integrations with third-party systems or other data sources. It is an open, extensible and configurable application framework that allows developers to create innovative new capabilities, applications, and solutions which extend and enhance EcoStruxure Building solutions.

Issue In the LON Flow Balance program the k-factor calculated by the balance process can be displayed at the end of the procedure.  I cannot determine how to read it in the BACnet Flow Balance program.  The value is needed so that the application file can be updated so that if the controller needs to be re-downloaded, it will not need to be balanced again. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment BACnet  MNB-V1 or MNB-V2 controller WorkPlace Tech Tool software release 5.7.2 or newer (Optional, for backup) Cause The BACnet Flow Balance process uses a procedure that results in a more accurate flow calibration process. As a result of this process the rated box flow value does not get re-calculated during the balance process. Resolution The BACnet MNB-V1 & MNB-V2 controllers store Flow Balance calibration data separately from the application file. This ensures that a revised application can be downloaded without losing air balance calibration data. To access the updated k-factor: Navigate to the Flow Balance Data screen Click “Balance Data” in the left menu of the Flow Balance screen. This screen displays all data entered and generated during the balance process. Refer to Documentation See the figure “Flow Balance Reporting – Flow Balance Details” in Chapter 5 of the MicroNet BACnet Commissioning Tool / Flow Balance Users Guide (F-27358). Generate Reports Both the BACnet Flow Balance program and WorkPlace Commissioning Tool can generate flow balance reports for individual or multiple BACnet VAV controllers. Reports are automatically saved and can be viewed/printed in HTML format without reopening the tool. Backup and Restore Functionality WorkPlace Tech Tool 5.7.2 introduced a feature to back up the complete application, including: COV subscription data Flow balance calibration data If a controller is replaced, use the WorkPlace Commissioning Tool to restore the backup.
