    Basic "Toggle Lights" on FX-20

    Hi All,

    I'm happy to report that we were able to get into the FX-20. We now see a series of points for lights and boiler. Hoping you can help me.. here is a light that has been overridden. Could you tell me how I would toggle this light on and off?

    Also, is there any documentation for the web-based workbench software that would show how to do these things?

    Quick background, we purchased a building and the local college is holding classes there. We need to make some edits to the schedule and stuff..

    Thank you,

    Jonathan

    Did you try "right clicking" on the words name next to the green dot and see if "override or Auto" comes up? It might be listed under "action".

    You can get documentation from Johnson Controls' web site. The point in your first post is under some form of program control that is connected to in16. FWIW, an operator override would show up as in8 or in1.

    For some reason in JCI Fx workstations sometimes Output points always show up as overridden ... even when theyre not.

    ...never did get to the bottom of that.
    1 + 1 = 3 ( *** for very large values of 1)

    Be brave. You cannot get eaten by an imaginary tiger.

    N2 considers anything that is not internal to the controller an override, so if a set point or anything has been set from a supervisor controller the point shows as overridden and in purple. It is VERY annoying and wish I could find a way to make it ignore anything under a priority 8 for the overridden flag and color. Also if you set it with HVAC pro it shows as overridden.
