Niagara-MPX modules version #2 (Discussion)


The current release notes appear to apply fixes from 67 thru 90

 

 

Release Note listings for items I recognize: 

 

71) Dragging items from the palette does not create them in a live controller.
      PulseWidthModulatedOutput fails (note: creation works in Config Manager).
80) During a Download All, Analog Input Present Value should not write to present
      value unless outs of service is true.

85) Changed the schedule->weekly schedule->day names.

86) For script program public slots were not getting generated.

87) For most of binary objects default active inactive text was not set. Also on
      upload object present value was disappearing.

89) Fixed the wiresheet positioning issue when we drag and drop the object from
      palette.

90) Fixed the issue of binary values don’t register in script.

 

**************************************************************************************
Comments on above fixes:

 

71) Block appears to come in ok to live controller

 

80) All analog values download properly when Out of Service is True.

      Issue: Digital Inputs and Multistate supervised Input are still affected.
      Temperature input defaults to OutofService = False upon import unlike
      all other inputs which come in "True"

 

85) Showing Improvement. Schedule shows Monday-Sunday instead of element 1-7

 

86) Issues:
      1) Public Numeric not holding value at block, still needs link to external Analog
          Value object. Otherwise it goes "Null"
      2) Initial value from script editor is now showing up in block properties but doesn't
           appear to do anything.

 

87) Issues:
      1) BI object present value will always show Active/Inactive even after changing text.
      2) BV/BO: Plugin errors still occur when changing both texts before saving block
      3) BO block shows an Unknown Property error and goes into fault from time to time,
          but still functions when units are made to be ON/OFF
      4) BV/BO: Priority arrays still show Active/Inactive even after changing text.

 

89) Appears fixed, although sometimes I see a block temporarily being placed to the
      upper left corner, but it then relocates on it's own to proper location.

 

90) BI,BV,BO objects are not freezing up script block display any more.


**************************************************************************************
Items fixed in new release, but not described in release notes:

1) Ub channel choices for controllers appear to be working better. When you delete
    an object that had a channel already assigned, it will show up again for the next
    object brought in.

 

2) Data Types in script editor.

    The integer setting now holds its selection instead of reverting back to float.

    The initial value also is holding, and appears in the script object properties,

    but doesn't appear to do anything in the script block.

**************************************************************************************
Forum Items I didn't see a change:

Jace8000 not able to create objects in hosted controllers
Wiresheet ability to delete Object from wiresheet and database
"Save to Controller" doesn't update a live script
Auto Scaling for analogs
Multistate issues
Schedule Priority 16
VAV object
Lonworks Link appears
Loop Fallthru Setting
Event Enrollment Alarm text

 

**************************************************************************************
Remaining Items in release notes that I haven't seen mentioned in forum:

(Assuming they are R+D items)

 

67) Properties showing as "proprietary" when discovered by BACnet discovery.
68) Inconsistent object creation
69) Schedule – There is no way to bind out of Config schedule object to another
      Config objects. (AKA lack of present value slot) This will be required
      for the MPX to reference its own local schedules in a program etc
70) BACnet Schedule Export - Write Access Denied error when trying to set Priority
      for writing. Schedule Export properties show the error is a write access denied.
72) Upload All Objects Breaks binds on the wiresheet.
73) Factory Reset
74) Erase Database
75) Trend Log -> Should we write unit conversion.
      Private Transfer fails on writing unit conversion attribute because property
      referenced in PT is 85 (Present_Value) but should be 1638 (Internal Value).This
      is fixed
76) 1797/1810 - trigger signal is deprecated. no need to handle it. (need to look
      into how to show deprecated instead of proprietary.).Now all the proprietary
      properties are defined as depricated.
77) If someone sets the logDevice Property from AX Property sheet then link should
      get updated.
78) Event enrollment.EventParametreList.choice should show only supported options.
      Supported options - OutOfRange, ChangeOFState, ChangeOfValue, FloatingLimit,
      BufferReady. Default should be out-of-range.
79) Event Enrollment.Shunt variable should be bindable from the wiresheet
      Upload All breaks the binding.
81) MP-V Flow Balance Data - Needs to be treated differently than regualar object.
      Flow Balance Data should not be downloaded as a part of Download All. Also,
      there should be an action "download" on the Flow Balance Data that should
      download all the editable properties. It already has "Upload Object" action that
      uploads all properties from controller.
82) Event Enrollment object/property references created in either the wiresheet or
      property sheet should be updated in the other sheet but are not
83) Unable to set event parameters for Change_Of_Value event type
84) Event Algorithm Inhibit Reg should be renamed to Shunt Variable Reference to
      match the 'Shunt Variable' property. As it is, it is not obvious these two
      properties are related

Re: Niagara-MPX modules version #2 (Discussion)

Update for item 89:

Wiresheet positioning of a new block

 

For my initial assessment, i was bringing the block into a live controller and seemed

to be working. Upon further examination, if you bring the block into an offline controller,

then the block placement goes into the upper left corner as before.

 

For some reason it's needing to see a live controller for the ability to work.  This

may explain why once in a while that I see the block temporarily go into the upper

left corner before automatically moving to the place you originally dragged it to on the

wiresheet.  Perhaps the process doesn't see the live controller at that exact

moment and then the process sees it a few moments later.
