Issue EcoStruxure Building Operation - Sigma logging does not work. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Sigma Environment Building Operation Enterprise Server Satchwell Sigma Cause Sigma logging has been transitioned to EcoStruxure Building Operation, but does not work. Resolution  The Procedure is as follows; Import the log data sets from Sigma to EcoStruxure Building Operation. Highlight "Log Sets" in the system tree under the Sigma Interface and select to "Send log sets" To confirm that the controller has started logging, select the appropriate controller, and choose "Diagnostics" and "Log Set Statistics" where you can see the statistics which include the log set/object details. To upload the logging, highlight the required log set and select "Retrieve Logged values". To review the uploaded data, highlight the required log value and view it as required Once that the logging in the Sigma controllers is working correctly to EcoStruxure Building Operation, logging from the Sigma server should be disabled.

Issue Sigma Transition issues upon Data Import the Sigma Server fails Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation, Satchwell Sigma Environment Sigma Building Operation Enterprise Server Cause Sigma server fails when an EBO data import is initiated. Resolution It is important that the Sigma Database is checked with the Doctor utility (found in SigmaX) before a Sigma transition into EBO is undertaken. Longtext - Longtext file contains 'mandarin' type characters - probably from previous BAS/Sigma upgrades. If the file contains these, then Longtext has probably not been used in the past or currently. Delete File, it will self re-create. Shorttext - Shorttext contains an incorrectly formatted entry. Find entry and correct. To find, delete 1 -250, if it continues to fails, the entry in question will be in the range 251 to 500 and keep halving until the entry is found. Index A errors - index contains a looping segment, where the page references itself. Correct index as necessary. Index A errors - page is referenced more than once, i.e. the index page can be opened via two (or more) routes. Correct Index as necessary. Note: the Index should be checked with SigmaX before a transition. Object corruption - open object in Sigma, if it fails to open, then correct by whatever means that is required. Note, Sigma server will fail at a point during the Data Import. Log Sets - Fail to import log sets. To find, in Sigma, locate the logset.rec in the c:\sigma\data\server...folder file, take a copy. In Sigma, delete 50% of the log sets and try the import again. If it fails, delete another 50% and repeat. Or if it succeeds, then the issue may lie in the 50% of log sets originally deleted, re-instate these using the copied logset.rec file and try again by deleting the other 50% and so forth.

Issue Faulty operation of BMS equipment due to electrical interference from other equipment can be difficult and costly to identify and fix.  Guidance is required for the best installation practices to minimize the source of the interference and to protect against it when it occurs. Product Line Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Field Devices, OTHER, Satchwell MicroNet, Satchwell Sigma, TAC IA Series, TAC Vista Environment All electrical equipment Cause Poor installation can cause equipment to generate high and low-frequency electromagnetic interference that can disrupt the operation of other systems. Resolution Schneider Electric has produced a document Practical Installation Guidelines which discusses the theory and offers practical guidelines to protect against and minimize the generation of, electromagnetic interference.

Issue Poor communications, communications failure or packet being corrupted Product Line Andover Continuum,EcoStruxure Building Expert,EcoStruxure Building Operation,Satchwell MicroNet,Satchwell Sigma,TAC INET,TAC Vista Environment Communications networks, BACnet MSTP, LON FT10, Infinet, Modbus RTU, Ethernet EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) VSD Variable Speed Drive, VFD Variable Frequency Drive, Inverter Drive Cause Electrical Interference from Inverter (variable speed drives or VSD) Radiated or Induced RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) Resolution A VSD has the potential to create a large amount of electrical noise, to avoid causing issues it is vital they are installed as the manufacturer's instructions.  (Other devices also have this potential) Our systems are often used to control VSDs on fan motors, so if poor communications is found during the commissioning process, then try stopping all the fans in the area then re-testing the communications. A recent example was seen where LON FT10 communication was working ok until some VSDs were started, at this point LON devices and Object went offline intermittently. When all the VSDs were stopped the communication become completely stable. It was then possible to find which VSD was causing the problem and correct the VSD installation. In this case a LON analyzer would also have helped diagnose the issue.

Issue A specification for a power meter states that it provides KYZ pulse outputs. What is a KYZ pulse output? Product Line All Product Lines Environment Utility Meter with KYZ pulse outputs Cause Some meter specification sheets may state that the device outputs KYZ pulses. Resolution KYZ is a designation given to a relay used to create pulses for electrical metering applications. It is commonly a Form C relay (SPDT). The term KYZ refers to the contact designations: K for common, Y for Normally Open, and Z for Normally Closed.

Warning Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Issue SigmaX - checking for duplicated segment and object names prior to EBO transition Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment SigmaX Cause Checking for duplicated segment and object names prior to transitioning Sigma to EBO. Resolution With EBO, names cannot be duplicated within the same folder or segment, however in Sigma they could be, it was only the mnemonic that had to be different. When Data Importing into EBO, duplicated names are revised by adding a postfix to the duplicated name e.g. if there are two ‘room temperature’ then the 2nd one is revised to ‘room temperature2’ so that the Data Import can continue to proceed. In SigmaX, a report can be generated that will itemize any duplicated index or object names. Within SigmaX, these duplications can be renamed to a name of your choosing. Once, this is done, the Data Import will use the new names. This video with SigmaX the 2nd one of three videos, the 1st SigmaX Quick Help Video will check for database errors primarily 'A' errors. When launching the SigmaX application, see the Knowledge Base articles for Side by Side errors and errors regarding missing SigmaX files should they occur.

Issue Sigma parallel port dongle or USB dongle upgrade to software license Product Line Satchwell Sigma Environment Sigma version 4.08 Cause It is becoming increasingly harder to purchase computers with parallel ports. With the increase use of virtual computer operating systems USB ports may not be available either. ∴ A different type of Sigma licensing will be required. Resolution PSS can arrange for an upgrade from your existing parallel port or USB type Sigma dongle to an SBO/EBO software license entitlement for Sigma 4.0.8. Sites running Sigma 4.07 or older does not support software licensing and would need to be upgraded to Sigma version 4.08.57 or later to include the software option. Sigma Software license type availability is documented on page 8 in the Sigma 4.08 release note. For engineers using Sigma 4.08: The StruxureWare Building Operation Evaluation License, available from the Schneider Electric Download Center, will unlock the Sigma 4.08 for testing etc for the period of the Evaluation License (maximum 3 months or until the expiry of the downloaded license).   For customer sites using Sigma 4.08: To reduce the Sigma system downtime, currently PSS operate on a trust basis and provide the software license in advance. PSS require you to send the old Sigma dongle back to the PSS representative that is assisting you with your license upgrade. This should be completed within 30 days of receiving your software license. Once you receive the software license entitlement for Sigma. Install the SBO License Server version 1.6 or later. (it is recommended that the latest available version of the SBO License Server compatible with the computer's operating system is used). Procedure: Download the Sigma Dongle Replacement - Required Data form. Complete the cells highlighted/filled in blue. Approval is required from the regional category manager (various contacts are listed on the spreadsheet) and confirm this in cell C5 on the spreadsheet. Open a case with Product Support Services (PSS) Supply the completed spreadsheet and a copy of the category manager's authorizing email. PSS will escalate your request for the software license. Note: If your current Sigma dongle contains Remote Alarm Manager licensing, Remote Alarm Manager does not support the EBO license server option. The USB dongle can still be used or a TAC license server type license can be used instead of the dongle. To install the software licensing option for Sigma 4.08: - Stop the Sigma server service. Install EBO License Administrator. Add your entitlement to the EBO License Server. Start the Sigma server service. Sigma should now be licensed.
