why don't you just try running Wireshark to see if messages are coming across the network? Wireshark can decode BACnet/IP packets pretty well.

Also, just because a port is open doesn't mean that...

Do you mean the Auxillar IO port can be changed to MSTP? I guess this is different than the ProSys, which reserves that port for Expandable IO devices...

Does anyone know what the maximum amount of MS/TP devices is that I can hang off a MACH-ProComm? The documentation appears to be confusing, and eludes to a 'subnetwork' of MS/TP.

It seems I can...

jlaber, if the device has object-names programmed in them, then you should be able to get some descriptive stuff out of the unit. Did the RTU come pre-installed with the DSC-633 in it, or was it...

I have found Polarsoft to have good, independent, BACnet utilities for scanning and interpreting a BACnet network. They have a program called BACnet Quick Test that will work on IP, Ethernet, PTP,...

Talking with someone at AAM, the functionality relative to Google Sketchup is actually limited to taking drawings from SketchUp and exporting them to a standard format (such as jpg, png, and gif). ...

...if you are smaller it has to impact your revenue compared to selling a home brewed solution. I'm convinced that the OEMs not owned by Honeywell are getting smarter and will develop their own...

Its the "country club" fee. $2000.00 gets you continued access to program and maintain your sites. Licenses expire at the end of every March. If you don't pay up, the license expires and the tool...

Are your BACnet/IP network numbers the same between Summit and the Router? If Summit asks for a network number and your network between the router and Summitt are different, its possible that one is...

Talking with the fine folks at AAM, its not a dump (yet - I say "yet" even though they won't/don't). They developed the product in house and from the demos that I have seen of it, plus the one I got...

They had a few controllers that they called their own, but many of the devices were OEM'd or bought from someone else. They used a few KMC BACnet Controllers, an older Seibe/Invensys Microflow VAV...

I agree with sysint. I don't think this acquisition will pan out to anything great. The acqusition is natural, given RZ and Cisco worked on a few projects together. However, I wouldn't go as far...

It worked decently the few time I had used it. Its a shame that the PalmOS is just about dead anyway with Palm's intentions focused towards a new OS and supporting mobile devices.

I wouldn't count anyone out relative to not caring or can't doing anything about it. Every single company listed above has the potential to cut the Tridium head off within their respective dealer...

mikesands has some good points. I agree with the notion that Tridium being owned by Honeywell could start a snowball later on. Regardless of this "separate business entity" bullcrap, they're still...

So now that Distech has purchased Circon's IP, what does that mean for all you Circon guys? Are you left without a line? Will Distech offer its technology to those customers?

It almost sounds like when ObServer starts up, its attempting to open your alarm database file and can't. Given the software uses a Microsoft Access Database, its possible that the locking database...

Could you enlighten us as to what software you have on your computer? Is it Auto-Pilot? Spectra for Windows?

I hvae an application where I need to take a few LON devices and expose some SNVTs to a populated BACnet infastructure. I am looking for a device that will take LON point data and map it over to...

Digo, I stand corrected :) Thanks for the additional info on that one!

On Workbench's on-line help, do a search for Domain Wide Cookie Authentication. This involves adding a few properties to the WebService side of things. The only catch is that the devices have to...

I agree with integrator. Use a FieldServer (www.fieldserver). They work fairly well and can do the job nicely. Tech support is also pretty decent.

So now that Circon has bit, or about to bite the dust, what other LON manufacturers are still out there? I know there's Distech, but who else? Siemens, Trane, Honeywell are extremely big and hard...

well..the direct address is working now at www.circon.com. Maybe something burped on their provider...

hmm...their website is now offline..

Your SoloPro seems to be set to SoleMaster. I'm willing to bet that this is causing tokens to collide on the network and make broadcasts not work. As a test, set broadcasting up to a continuous...

Given the nature of the beast, I can understand why...

Gotta admit though...I feel bad for the girl answering the phone in BC today. I bet she's getting hammered with all sorts of wild questions...

anyone got any news on this? I get the same girl answering the phone. Wish I knew what the real story was...

sysint..if you could fwd me the same e-mail, I'd appreciate it.

what a great discussion this is. I love this site!

I think its a right step in a different direction for them, as a company. It's a hell of a gamble, but they do have technology on their side. Sedona is going to write the future of their company...

That's a good point. I think anyone with the financial backing and balls to do it will. Microsoft is a good example of entering a shark infested market as a competitor. 8 years ago, they jumped...

The Alerton EBT workstation is fairly easy to use. We took a job over once with it on there and it was simple to create graphics, display trends, and get alarms into the workstation. I'm willing to...

A curious question back to you. Are the 3rd party MS/TP modules all of the same manufacturer or is this a mix of different manufacturers?

On some of the other Niagara products that I've used, the aapup module works fine and I wouldn't be too afraid of it. Point mapping works via auto-discovery. You open a channel, select your...

I'm a little new to this myself, but have you tried doing a compact and repair? Maybe there is something wrong with the local database? Sounds like you have everything else right....

Easy upgrade. As digo states, just make sure you have BAC0 open on your firewall and all should be good.

I guess with a hurricane going near Texas it may have driven off attendees. I'm looking forward to seeing whether the GBSC gets bigger, or if they should just consolidate the effort of it with the...

Ah ha! That was the last part of the quote that I was missing. Many thanks steves4!

Good question. The funny answer is that everyone has their own definition of it. The real definition was coined by a guy named David Fisher, whom is essentially one of the main guys that helped...

Anyone pay an arm and a leg to go to the GBSC? It looks like there were more vendors than building owners and end-users there...so much for BACnet.

Something tells me if Echelon threw a party,...

I remember a client doing a FieldServer using N2 to BACnet, but this was about 3 years ago. The FieldServer uses the N2-OPEN specification for communications. I'm not savvy with JCI to know the...

Hmmm...it almost sounds as if the ports configuration is totally corrupted, if you're seeing different listings between the Port Configuration Menu and other Port Monitor Menu. Let me know if the...

Amen to this! Both controller products will get the job done. From a spec side, either one will give you a good BTL solution for spec battles. Alerton is a little more rounded specific to BTL, but...

I would strongly recommend making the Sage do the trends rather than screwing around with even attempting to make local trends work. As davem mentions, the local trending capabilities of the product...

Coming from someone who has worked with BACnet for a long time, I have to honestly admit that this show is a complete joke and just another way for BACnet International to attempt to make some cash. ...

nothing specific, more or less on a hunt for info. I'm playing with it here in my bench and I'm thinking that you just define the SNVTs and use wiresheet to pipe the information in?

This is my...

Does AX support the ability to take Niagara data and export it to LON for other peers to monitor/modify? Reading through docs, it seems that the LocalLonDevice supports this function, but wanted to...

Nice! thank you leaflying!

Somewhat similar, but different question. Does anyone know where in the current Workbench builds (3.3, etc.) that I can find an example of using an HTML page to display my own custom tree? I've...

I don't know. Maybe I ran into a rash of bad Microgateways. I had placed a BACnet MSTP sniffer onto the trunk and York's Microgateway consitently drops network tokens at higher baud rates. I...
