Issue How to connect 2-10 Vdc position output signal of an actuator to an analog input of LON or BACnet controllers. Controller’s Analog Inputs are limited to 0-5 Vdc input. Environment WorkPlace Tech I/A Series Lon (MNL) controllers I/A Series BACnet (MNB) controllers Cause Controller’s Analog Inputs are limited to 0-5 Vdc input. Resolution See the WorkPlace Tech Tool Engineering Guide (F-27254-3) Analog Input object discussion (page 129) for reference. Setting up a 2 to 10 VDC feedback voltage divider, use a 120 K (120,000) Ohm in series with a 100 K (100,000) Ohm resistor; connect the UI across the 100K Ohm resistor. As long as the signal never exceed 10 VDC, the voltage across the 100 K Ohm will never exceed 5.0 VDC. Based on the above test results, 10Vdc [actuator output] = 4.545 Vdc [after voltage divider] 2 Vdc [actuator output] = .909 Vdc [after voltage divider] Set-up the Analog Input Object Linput= 0.909 Vdc LScale= 0 Hinput= 4.545 Vdc HScale= 100 Your values maybe different based on the resistor accuracy.

Issue Installed the I/A Series(Niagara) R2 software on a new Windows computer but cannot get it to connect to an existing UNC that has the same release of the I/A Series R2 software.  One possible error, "Java.io.EOF Exception", that might be displayed is shown below: Another possible error message is an HTTP 401 error. This issue may also prevent the I/A Series R2 tunnel client from connecting to UNC. Environment Computer with any supported version of Windows software including the usual assortment of utility and security / anti-virus software. I/A Series (Niagara) R2 software (any version) installed on the computer. Cause The Windows Firewall and/or Anti-Virus/Internet Security software has been installed and configured such that it is blocking Ethernet communications into or out of the computer on certain Ethernet ports. According to the I/A Series Networking & Connectivity Guide, provided with the I/A Series (Niagara) R2 software, specific user definable Ethernet ports, must be open for two-way communications between the WorkPlace Pro software and a UNC.  If communications is blocked on these ports, the WorkPlace Pro software will not be able to communicate across the Ethernet network. Similar issues are caused by the firewall built into many of the Internet Security software packages.  The following programs have been known to cause port blocking issues: Trend Micro Internet Security - Workstation Edition Trend Micro Office Scan - Workstation Edition Symantec Internet Security Suite version 9 Avast 7 (Free) Antivirus with 30 day demo of Avast Internet Security Bitdefender Antivirus Software Kaspersky PURE 3.0Total Security Kaspersky Endpoint for Business Resolution Verify that the Windows Firewall has been configured to pass bidirectional Ethernet communications over the two required Ethernet ports (default ports are 80 and 3011 - for both the TCP and UDP protocols).  Refer to the online Windows Help for configuration information.  Note that  computers that are members of a Windows Domain may have firewall configuration restrictions enforced by domain policies.  In these situations, it will be necessary to contact the Domain Administrator or facility PC-Help Desk for assistance. Verify that any installed Internet Security software does not block the required Ethernet communications ports.  Some specific Internet Security software packages are known to permanently block the use of some Ethernet ports, for specific uses.  Any Internet Security software of this type must be totally removed from the computer before the required communications can be established.  Three known software packages of this type are the "Symantec Internet Security Suite, version 9", "Bitdefender Antivirus Software" and "Trend Micro Internet Security software".

Issue How to order more NL credits in order to commission more devices. If the following message displays when opening a NL220 database, then more credits will need to be purchased soon. " BEWARE: less than 20 credits are available on this machine. If you need to install more than 20 device please order the amount of needed credits as soon as possible. Do you want to ask for new credits?" Product Line TAC IA Series, TAC Vista Environment NL220 LNS Cause There are two types of credits: Product specific credits like LonMaker and NL credits LNS credits   Echelon LNS LNS credits are assigned to the PC and when they reach zero, the LNS Server license goes into deficit mode. After 14 days the deficit mode will expire, at which time no LNS tools will be able to be used on that PC. To reverse the lockout, enough LNS credits must be ordered to cover the deficit and any additional nodes that need to be commissioned. Backing up, sharing, and restoring LNS databases can sometimes corrupt these LNS credits, which then prohibits you from launching any LNS plug-ins. For more help with corrupt LNS credits see Corrupted LNS Credits. Echelon LonMaker LonMaker credits are assigned to the PC. Both LNS and LonMaker credits are required, however when commissioning devices in LonMaker, LonMaker credits are consumed but LNS credits are not. Even though LNS credits are not consumed in LonMaker they are still necessary because certain LNS applications (i.e. TAC Vista System Plug-in) require them to operate. Newron NL220 Each time a node is commissioned in NL220 it requires a NL credit and a LNS credit. NL credits are assigned to the NL220 dongle and can be used on other PCs in "MOVED" mode. LNS credits are also necessary in NL220 to operate certain LNS applications such as the TAC Vista System Plug-in.   To order more Echelon LNS credits see Ordering more LNS credits. To order more Echelon LonMaker credits see Ordering more Echelon LonMaker credits. Resolution When working in NL220, it is wise to maintain a higher level of LNS credits than NL credits to help avoid locking out the LNS server license. To check the amount of NL credits remaining go to Start > All Programs > NL Suite > NLCreditsGenerator and look for Remaining NLCredits. The number of NL credits remaining can also be found at the bottom of the NL220 LonWorks Manager window with a project open. To check the amount of LNS credits remaining on a PC go to Start > All Programs > Echelon LNS Utilities > LNS Server License Wizard and look for Credits Available. The number of LNS credits remaining can also be found at the bottom of the NL220 LonWorks Manager window with a project open.   To order more NL220 credits: Open the NLCreditsGenerator Utility that is installed with NL220. Go to Start > All Programs > NL Suite > NLCreditsGenerator > NLCreditsGenerator Utility. Enter the number of NL220 credits to be added  in the request area. Click Next. Click "Yes, this PC will be used for commissioning" Enter your name and contact details. Select "Copy to clipboard". Then either paste the information into notepad or in an email. Send the NL credit request to your local Schneider Electric Buildings Business order department  (NLCredits@buildings.schneider-electric.com). When you order has been processed by the local Schneider Electric Buildings Business order department you will receive an upgrade key. Open the NLCreditsGenerator Utility again. Go to Start > All Programs > NL Suite > NLCreditsGenerator > NLCreditsGenerator Utility. Click the Next button. Enter the key into the "Upgrade key" field of the credits generator. A message indicating you credits were added is then displayed.   Note: Once the request key has been generated, DO NOT commission or decommission any devices with the dongle until the upgrade key has been applied to the dongle. If devices are commissioned before then, the upgrade key will no longer be valid.

Issue History Extensions in History Service show a “Fault” Status.  The Fault cause displays: "Duplicate history id:" followed by the name of the object. Environment I/A Series G3, version 3.3.22 and later Cause  By default, history extensions inherit the name of the objects they’re attached to (e.g. CFM).  If CFM is to be trended on multiple VAV units (VAV1, VAV2, etc.), this can cause issues when enabling history collection in the History Service; one or more histories will be in a “Fault” state, with the error message: “Duplicate history id:” for the Fault Cause. Resolution To resolve the issue, the history names can be configured to include the parent folder names:     1.  Open the Program Service in the station’s Services container, and click on the “Find Objects” button at the bottom of the Batch Editor view 2.  In the Bql Query Builder window, select (Custom Type) in the “Of type:” drop-down menu.  Two more drop-down menus will appear.  In the middle drop-down, select “history”.  In the last drop-down, select the appropriate history extension (e.g. NumericIntervalHistoryExt).  Then, click OK.  The Batch Editor view will populate with all of the history extensions in the station for the extension type selected     3.  In the Batch Editor view, highlight all of the history objects, then click the “Edit Slot” button at the bottom of the view 4.  In the Edit Slot window, select “historyName” in the Property drop-down menu.  In the New Value field, type the following:      %parent.parent.name%_%parent.name%     NOTE:  Depending on the tree structure, the filter may need to be modified in order to create a unique history name.  For example, if the network is structured in the following format:   In this example, the object nviSatSwitch1_value is a child of the Points container, which is a child of the device MnlRs3_10. In order to create a unique name for the history extension, the correct filter would need to be:         %parent.parent.parent.name%_%parent.name%.   5.  Click OK.  After a few seconds, the BatchEditor Results window will appear, displaying the objects that were changed.  The history extensions now have unique names, and can be enabled in the History Service

Issue Understanding and Troubleshooting Modbus Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series, Other  Environment All Modbus environments. Cause Modicon first introduced Modbus in 1979. Modbus is an open standard,and it is the most widely used in the industrial environment. Modbus is publicly available and,due to its simplicity, many manufacturers use Modbus as a solution for integration in their own products. Many commercial products and systems support the Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols. For further information, visit the Modbus website at http://www.modbus.org. Resolution For a brief understanding on Modbus and how to troubleshoot Modbus, refer to the Modbus Troubleshooting PDF

The Modbus protocol defines a simple Protocol Data Unit (PDU) independent of the underlying communication layers. The mapping of Modbus protocol on specific buses, or networks, can introduce some additional fields on the application data unit (ADU). Modbus is a request/reply protocol and offers services specified by function codes. Function codes are elements of MODBUS request/reply PDUs.       Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, TAC IA Series, TAC Vista, Andover Continuum, Satchwell BAS & Sigma

Issue Network scanning software causes a loss of Jace network communication. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Series Jace 8000 N4.9 and later Cause As network security awareness continues to expand, software-based scanners, such as industry-standard Qualys and Nessus, intended to detect and report on vulnerabilities within internal networks will likely continue to gain popularity.  Today, Tridium is seeing these scanners being deployed and run against Niagara-based platforms like the JACE-8000 and Edge 10.  In some cases, these scans are causing Niagara platforms to become unresponsive or reboot via an Engine Watchdog Timeout, all of which are not acceptable for the critical applications that Niagara facilitates. Resolution While Tridium has no control over how these scanners behave, or how and when they are executed within an organization, Niagara 4.9 introduces a number of changes intended to allow a Niagara-based hardware platform to appropriately respond to the scanning utilities, and also maintain operation.  Below is a brief explanation of how Niagara will function under the different known circumstances currently employed by these scanners, and how to interpret the results.   Recognition of non-Niagara Traffic on the platform In the event a scanner is interrogating a Niagara 4.9+ platform connection, the Niagara Daemon has been modified to recognize non-Niagara traffic over a period of time, shut down the connection if necessary, and wait for a pre-determined amount of time before re-enabling connectivity.  Under these conditions, a scanning utility may report that the Niagara instance has encountered denial of service, when in fact, Niagara has simply disabled the communication mechanism by which the scanner was attempting its interrogation. During this time, normal platform communication will also be affected; however, the Niagara platform and station will continue to run.   Prioritization of Internal vs. External Communication on the Niagara station In the event, a scanner is interrogating a Niagara 4.9+ station (external communication) and Niagara detects that this interrogation may cause an Engine Watchdog Timeout, the station’s web server will be stopped and restarted. Under these conditions, a scanning utility may report that the Niagara instance abruptly stopped communicating, and may have encountered denial of service.  During this time period, normal/expected client web connections to the station will also be affected; however, the Niagara platform and station will continue to run. As mentioned, these scanners are outside the control of Tridium, and likely always evolving to meet the needs of the various threats they are intended to protect against. As a best practice, Tridium recommends not scanning in production if possible, as any findings would be just as legitimate during scheduled downtime. Additionally, it may be prudent to work with the scanning tools to configure the appropriate priority of a scan, as the intensity of which you scan a production multicore, failover redundant web server host, is likely not the best choice for scanning a single-core JACE. Should you encounter an issue with a network scanning utility and Niagara 4.9 and above, please contact your support organization.

Issue There is a problem after upgrading the SystemDB to N4.10. Product Line TAC IA Series Environment I/A Jace 8000 N4.10 I/A Enterprise Server N4.10 Cause In Niagara 4.10, we upgraded SystemDB from Orient v2 to v3, and as a result of that change, any customers that are utilizing SystemDB on their Supervisor stations will need to re-index accordingly upon upgrading to 4.10. Resolution In Niagara 4.10, the SystemDB has been upgraded from Orient v2 to v3.  Because of this change, customers that are utilizing SystemDB on their Supervisor stations will need to re-index upon upgrade to 4.10.  Please note, re-indexing can take a considerable time upon upgrade, and the DB will not have accurate information when queried until the index upgrade is complete. After upgrading to 4.10, invoke the actions that force system indexing.  Be aware that re-indexing can take some time, and that the DB won’t have accurate information when queried until the index is complete. The following image shows how to invoke execute on the Local System Indexer: If the Station has a DB configured to contain information about points on other stations, the Niagara Network System Indexer should be used, rather than the Local System Indexer.  Additional details regarding indexer actions can be found in the Niagara System Database and System Indexing Guide.
