Niagara-MPX modules Version #14 (Build 40) (Fixes/Issues)
*****************************************************************************************
RELEASE NOTES FROM TRIDIUM MENTION THESE ITEMS:
87) Fixed the issues from issue tracker in the Teams page
107,199,235,237,251,253,258,259,260,261,263,267,269,270,271,272,273,274
*****************************************************************************************
FORUM ITEMS FIXED:
Schedules:
1) Binary schedule Value now transitions properly between true and false
2) Minutes from Previous Change is showing proper value
3) Minutes to Next Change is showing proper Value
4) Previous Change Time, Next Change Time, and Following Change Time on block
wiresheet are showing a time instead of a huge integer....although the times are
wrong. See below for additional problem description.
Script Editor:
1) FallThru triggers that are added to the list now remain in place
instead of disappearing after a few moments. Scripts are triggering
properly when set for FallThru.
PROBLEM RELATED TO FIXES FROM ABOVE:
Schedule:
1) Minutes to Following Changes reflects a midnight time instead of what
would be occurring the next morning. Example...showing midnight instead
of 7am
2) Previous Change Time, Next Change Time, and Following Change Time
are showing incorrect times.
KEEP IN MIND ABOUT THE EXISTING PROBLEMS RELATING TO
HOSTING AN MPX CONTROLLER FROM THE 2ND JACE ETHERNET
PORT ON A N4 SUPERVISOR. USED TO WORK PROPERLY FOR EVERY
BUILD UP UNTIL THE PREVIOUS 2 BUILDS WHEN FIXING THE JACE
ISSUE IN HOSTING MPX CONTROLLERS.
*****************************************************************************************
EVERYTHING FROM THIS POINT DOWN LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THE SAME
PROBLEMS FROM PRIOR VERSIONS:
*****************************************************************************************
FORUM ITEMS NOT FIXED:
N4 Supervisor Hosting MPX: (>>>>>>>HUGELY IMPORTANT<<<<<<<)
I can now host MPX controllers on the Jace8000. Unfortunately the issue is now flip
flopped and the N4 Supervisor can't download objects anymore. I can re-host the MPX
controller back and forth, see all objects in the controller including new ones from the
original Jace hosted object additions in both scenarios. The MPX controllers are on
Port #2 of the Jace8000. I've been able to host them on the N4 Supervisor in that
arrangement since back in September.
1) BO block shows a "Property:Unknown Property" error and goes into fault from time to
time, but still functions when commanded ON/OFF
2) Temperature Input has an OutofService set to False upon import which is
inconsistent with the other inputs set to True upon import
3) BV/BO: Priority arrays still show Active/Inactive even after changing text. This is
the light blue dot section where you can override the value
4) Schedules priority level not changeable from 16
5) Event Enrollments don't have Alarm Text. (Perhaps Niagara function?)
6) String fault. Occurs when a String Value object is freshly brought into a live
controller. It'll start out with no errors, but if you wait for a bit it'll
show the error message "Property:Unknown Property" and go into fault.
If you put an actual string into the PresentValue, it will pass ok, but will go
into fault eventually as well. While in fault, the block seems to act normally.
7) Lonworks Link appears on objects when deleting various other objects from
wiresheet
*****************************************************************************************
UTILITY BLOCK COMMON ISSUES NOT FIXED:
1) Some input type choices may not apply to the block type. All blocks
have a choice of Boolean,DateTime,Float,Integer,String.
2) Input and Output names (in/out) can be changed, but the settings value
reverts back to (in/out), while the block slot name will maintain the change.
BLOCK CONSISTENCY PROBLEM:
1) Equal: Default inputs are binary, while the other 5 comparison type of blocks
have integer inputs as default
PERHAPS ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY NEEDED:
1) IndexOf: "Find" syntax will find case insensitive items while
"Search" syntax will find case sensitive items. May need both
these options to handle various string scenarios.
*****************************************************************************************
VAV OBJECT ITEMS NOT FIXED:
1) Velocity Pressure block: Block still shows "Out of Service" after initial Download All
2) DamperCommand block: Priority 16 is shown which will fight the internal
program of the VAV object if anything is attached. Perhaps Priority 15 should
be shown if outside logic needs to have control or just remove it.
