It wasn't an address conflict. We ended up logging in with PMI, and toggling the Disable/Enable Communications option under the NC Hardware, which solved the issue. Thanks.

I have a customer whose system is made up of several NAEs, but still have many NCs reporting through an NIE. There are some TECs on many of the old NC trunks and they usually communicate OK. In one...
I blew out everything except my graphics and it works fine. The existing graphics have numerous tabs on them, some up to a dozen. They seem to work OK, but the whole server is slow. I'm not going...
MY first thought was the tabs and/or problems with some of the ords, so I had removed some of the tabs and tried to make sure the ords were correct. Didn't seem to help. I will remove all of the...
One of our customers has a newer site that we just took over. It has FX Server 4.0 with some FX60s and FX70s. FX60s are being used to control the AHUs, with some FX15s and 16s doing some minor...
Does the NUT have specific files for the version running on the NAE? We are running 4.1.4500 on our controllers at this site? Do I have to get the proper files to flash the controller? Thanks...
Copied over the new xml file and made some progress. I do not get the initial error. It allows me to enter my login information, but once it gets to 75%, it stops, then gives me a new error,"The...
I'm getting it now. Thanks, I'll let you know what happens.
I went through the PC that has SCT, but do not see any SecurityDB folder. I also searched the XML files and don;t see anything related to security. When I am back on the site, I will remote into...
I tried doing that a few times, doesn't make a difference. Also used another computer and I get the same Error Window. The error window opens just as the java window says "initializing...
I am able to get into the NAE using Remote Desktop Connection and can run explorer once the command window opens. I am not sure what to do next. There is a folder called SecurityDB in the root and...
I do not have access to the local OEM people and that is not an option for me. I have limited tools available to me, just my PC. I found some other information searching the archives, so I will try...
I have an NAE55 at version 4.1 that we are working on in the shop for testing purposes. All of a sudden, I cannot log into the device with the standard Metasys password. The PC has SCT on it and...
Sorry for the late response. Been busy. I sent you an email with an Assembly. It is simple and has the functionality that I mentioned. From your questions above, I believe the System Resources...
I have many systems running using the RTC doing Lead Lag in the FX. I have not utilized an outside schedule. We rotate Leads every Monday. We have a lot of two and three pump setups like this. ...
It's hard to say definitively, but I would think that if the timer is in its cycle and someone changes the setpoint, this could possibly affect the timer. I know that these timers have issues with...
In that case, you could make a Schedule in the FX60 and they can change the schedule if they want. You would then have the schedule trigger your switch point going into your logic. There are many...
I have done lead lag a couple of different ways, using PLC and in one case using some logic blocks. Sometimes the timers act strange in the FX. Try this: First, you need a System Resources Block...
How are you doing your Lead-Lag? Are you using PLC? What is your trigger event to call the switch under normal conditions? Like, every Monday at 7 am.
The pilot_status snvt 10160 has pre-defined states. Usually 255 is a null condition. State 0 is defined as pilot_auto, State 4 is defined as pilot_on and State 5 is defined as pilot_off. That is...
Try it, you'll like it. You should use the bits as specified, since these are what the controller recognizes. The bits have their default names, which also works, but putting in more familiar User...
You should be able to connect your laptop to your network and upload the ADS through the SCT. As stated here, I don't think you can re-download the NAE at 4.1 after saving the database under 5.2 on...
I am in Northern NJ, but all of our work is in NYC and Brooklyn.
In our marketplace, there is everything from JCI to Siemens, to Andover, to Automated Logic, etc., etc. Most of the larger manufacturers, like Siemens and JCI keep things real close to home. ...
I have been working with JCI hardware/software for around 25 years now and am not satisfied overall with the quality and support of the newer products, starting with the FX control line. By the time...
We are using relays. It has been a habit ever since DXs came out with all Triacs on their DOs. We are also driving multiple valves from each box, so relays were a must. I will be on site myself in...
The AHU does have heating and cooling, typical mixed air AHU with enthalpy economizer. Seems that we also have another issue with the PCV. Three of the sixteen control Fin Tube Radiation zones. ...
Working on one now. I deleted and brought the point back as Writable and it takes the command. I did not get the Write error on this box. I told it to go into Cooldown Mode and the box states that...
I think we tried writing to that point as it shows up as a Boolean Writable, but it went into Fault until we removed our command. There's got to be a way to do it; we will keep trying until it...
We are currently commissioning a job that has 16 VAV's with reheat using the FX-PCV controllers. We also have an FX16 controller running the AHU. We are supposed to be using a Warmup-Cooldown mode...
This particular trunk is also pretty long. The FX60 runs the entire building, 45 stories to the top; all of the plant equipment below grade, plus a few small AHUs, then the towers at the top of the...
Items 1 & 2 are OK. I did not realize that a repeater would be needed for more than 32 devices. Right now, the network seems stable with 31 controllers on it. That would make sense, because we had...
I don't think so. As each device was addressed, the "Device ID" was also set to the address, but in the 57000 range. So, address 16 is 57016, 17 is 57017 and so on. I am assuming that this relates...
We have one of our customers where we are setting up some Onicon System 10 BTU meters. They are on a separate stand-alone loop right now and when we connect them to the existing FX60 BACnet MS/TP...
I did not read your entire post at first; selective reading. Try setting up your Override point into the DO on the override input as a SNVT 10160. Then, clear all of the bits, but select only...
They used to call it Builder Express. But as mentioned, they program all the Q&A that's possible into them, so when you select what you want, the program includes the stuff you want. I had to modify...
The only time I have had something similar happen is when the bus was not terminated properly with EOL resistors. I build overrides into every program and have never seen that happen specifically. ...
Thanks for the link. It has some great information. My main concern is how do we physically connect from the JACE to the NetController? Am I using the JACE serial port or making a cable from the...
I have a customer that has an Andover NetController running a network of around 100 field controllers, a mix of VAVs and Fan Coils, using Infinet. Their front end has finally crashed and they are...
There are several other GE devices I believe that are providing data to the Field Server. If I change its IP address, it may not be able to communicate with the other devices. Once we replace the...
I have configured routers before and I understand that the translation is going from the WAN to the LAN. I have never setup a Field Server and do not want to mess with it unless absolutely...
I also asked the same question about the device. It is a Field Server and I don't know if the limitation is there or with the other stuff it is collecting data from. I personally think it is the...
We currently have an ADX and several NAE's on a dedicated LAN, using Static Addressing. One of the NAE's was setup to bring in some BACnet IP points from third party controllers onto the system for...
Thanks. Got it to work. Why didn't I think of that.
We have been running FX tools on various laptops without problems, but most of them are XP based. We have just setup a Win 7 Pro 32 bit laptop and am having trouble getting the N2 Comm Pro to work. ...
We have requested remote access to an ADX on one of our customers' sites. The IT people did a security scan and requested that we apply a windows patch to Win 2003 Server and secondly disable FTP. ...
Somehow, I finally got it to work. I basically put the points through the Niagara Network, but had to pull them through the Server. I could not directly discover the FX60 points through the FX70. ...
How do you create the new converted point in the FX60? I added a new point to the FX-7 as a boolean and gave it a fictitious address, like BD-100. It looks as if it is communicating, and I was able...
I have a customer that currently has two FX70s and one FX60, connected to the facility network with an FX Server. I have an FX-7 controller on the FX60 where I am trying to send an enumerated point...
There is no archive OWS on site. The GPL can still be compiled and downloaded via laptop if needed. I understand what you are saying about the NC requiring downloads, if necessary. The JCI...
