Don't get me/others started on the lack of resources here....

If your using 3.6 then you should be using the latest spyder tool and you have to put controller in engineering mode to do anything with it. Right click controller and pick engineering mode. There is a good webcast on Buildings Forum on the new spyder tool.

When I read the release notes for the latest Spyder Tool version I seriously considered changing jobs to get away from this product.

Also take care to know which Rev controller you have, look for a side ways 2 on the sticker next to the part number on the side. If this is there then you may need to flash it back to work with your spyder tool. You will be able to commission it just not load it. I am an old BC network 8000 guy and love the spyders. I don't care what line you work with, there is always room for improvements but the spyders have worked solid for me and the company I work for. I took the class and it shortened the learning curve considerably for me.

There is a new one coming out in a couple weeks FYI. 5.204

Thanks for the help. I'm going to try the Webcast that you suggested mechmike2.

Thanks again

Hello,

I have a Spyder ILC and a niagara AX platform (TES - Trend).

Normally I don't need spyder tool or other, right?

I can discover the spyder but that's all, I can't configure or add physical points.
If I try to add physical point (for example: BacnetDevice -> Config -> AI) I have a fault, cause: Object:Unknown Object.


FYI, I don't pass the spyder training.
