24 2 User Interface TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 2.7 Java Plug-In A Java plug-in is a software component that allows you to run Java programs (called Java applets) inside your web browser. Many web browsers, though not all, come with their own internal support for running Java applets. We recommend, however, that you use the Java plug-in from Sun Microsystems. The main reason is that the internal Java support provided by most web browsers is based on an old version of the Java platform. This means that they are not capable of running Java applets that use the latest and most useful features that the Java platform can offer. By using a Java plug-in from Sun Microsystems, you ensure that you have the most up-to-date Java platform Obtaining and Installing the Java Plug-in If the required Java Plug-in is not installed on your computer, the navigation tree in Xenta Server does not work. Instead a message appears (where the navigation should be) that guides you to the download page for the required Java Plug-in. To obtain and install the Java Plug-in 1 Log into the Xenta Server. 2 If the navigation tree to the left does not appear, a message appears with a link, Download java. 3 Click the link Download java. 4 Click the link for recommended version for Xenta Server. 5 Click Save and select an appropriate place to save the file on your local hard disk. 6 Locate the downloaded file using the Windows Explorer and double-click the file. 7 The InstallShield Wizard guides you through the installation process. When the installation has finished you will find the Java Plug-in in the Windows Control Panel. 24 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

25 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 2 User Interface Configuring the Java Plug-in In most cases, no further configuration is necessary. The Java Plug-in smoothly handles the Java programs in your web browser, without any noticeable delay. However, should you need to do further configurations the Java Plug-in is provided with a Java Plug-in Control Panel. The Java Plug-in Control Panel enables you to adjust how the Java Plug-in runs Java programs in your web browser. You should not install the Java Plug-in on your PC unless it is to be the default Java support for running Java programs in your web browser. Make sure that the Java Plug-in is used in your web browser by selecting the appropriate web browser check boxes in the Java Control panel. To configure the Java Plug-in 1 Open the Control Panel (via the Windows Start menu) and then click the Java Plug-in icon. If you do not find the Java Plug-in icon, the plug-in is probably not installed on your computer. 2 On the Advanced tab, click <APPLET> tag support and select the appropriate browser(s). 3 Click Apply. 4 Close the Java Plug-in Control Panel. For more information on the Java Plug-in, visit the Java Plug-in home page: Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

30 2 User Interface TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual Filter Rules In some views filtering of the data is available. Text Strings Use the wildcards * and? to replace one or more characters in the text string you want to filter on. The asterisk (*) matches any number of characters. That means that you can use it as a placeholder for any sequence of letters or symbols. For example, if you enter AI* you will get all the events/alarms that start with AI ; if you enter *AI you will get all the events/alarms that end with AI ; if you enter *AI* you will get all the events/alarms that contain the sequence AI, and so forth. An asterisk can match zero characters, too. The question mark (?) matches exactly one character. That means that you can use it as a placeholder for a single letter or symbol. Numeral Only events/alarms bound by the boundaries (including the boundaries) From and To will be included in the view. For example: The setting From: 1 To: 10 filters the view on events/alarms that has a site number (given the Site Number tab) in the interval Clear one of the boundaries to specify an unlimited interval, for example, Events originating from sites with site number 5 or more (From = 5 and To is cleared). To inactivate the numerical filter for a tab, clear both check boxes. Date and Time Only events/alarms bound by the boundaries (including the boundaries) From and To will be included in the view. For example: On the Date and Time tab, the setting From: :00:00 To: :30:00 filters the view on events/alarms that occurred between :00:00 and :30:00 including the times :00:00 and :30:00. Clear one of the boundaries to specify an unlimited interval, for example, :30:00 and before. To inactivate a date and time filter, clear both check boxes. 30 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

35 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 4 Alarms 4 Alarms 4.1 Alarms Overview What is an Alarm? In Xenta Server, alarms are handled by alarm objects that monitor other objects, for example fans or temperatures. When certain criteria relating to the monitored object are met, the alarm will be tripped. The criteria are programmed by an engineer using XBuilder. How to notice if an alarm has been tripped When an alarm is tripped, it will be displayed as an unacknowledged alarm in the alarm viewer. Unacknowledged alarms are indicated by a red rectangle ( ). What to Do When an Alarm Has Been Tripped If your task is merely supervising the system and you are not allowed to acknowledge alarms, follow your employer's instructions as regards how to act when an alarm is tripped. If your task is acknowledging alarms, always investigate their cause and take the necessary action to deal with them before acknowledging, blocking or resetting them. How Alarm States Change One way to understand the different types of alarm is to study how the state of an alarm can change. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

36 4 Alarms TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual An alarm is in a Normal state when it has not tripped. When an alarm trips, the state changes from Normal to Active Unacked, and the alarm is displayed in red in the alarm viewer. Normal Alarm Alarm is acknowledged Acknowledged Active Alarm Alarm resets Alarm trips Unacknowledged Active Alarm Alarm trips Alarm is acknowledged Unacknowledged Passive Alarm Block Block Blocked Alarm Fig. 4.1: How alarm states change When the alarm is acknowledged, it will turn green with a check mark ( ). If an Active Unacked alarm is reset before acknowledgement, it will turn red with a dash ( ). Acknowledged alarms disappear from the alarm viewer when reset. Reset alarms disappear from the alarm viewer when acknowledged. Whatever the active state, alarms can always be blocked ( ). The alarm is disabled while blocked, which means notification of that alarm will not reoccur. You must unblock the alarm to re-enable it. How Alarms Are Displayed The way that alarms are displayed within the web browser will differ depending on the type of page you are viewing. The following pages are available for viewing alarms: Static I/NET alarm pages (Xenta Server 527/731 only) These pages are only available for viewing I/NET alarms (you can also view I/NET alarms in dynamic pages). Static pages are updated when you load or refresh the page. Static pages do not require that you enable Java within your web browser. Dynamic pages These pages are displayed in an Alarm Viewer and require that you use a Java-enabled web browser. This allows the displayed information to update automatically. 36 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

37 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 4 Alarms 4.2 The Alarm Viewer The alarm viewer dynamically displays the status of alarms in the system. Alarm conditions, alarm texts and other alarm specific data must be programmed by an engineer using XBuilder. Typical alarms include high temperature, low temperature and device offline. The alarms are presented in an alarm viewer. The user can read, acknowledge, block, sort and view the history of the alarms. The Alarm Viewer consists of two different views: Alarm Stack and Alarm History. Notes 4.3 Alarms Viewer Toolbar The time it takes for the alarm viewer to open is dependant on the number of alarms active in the system. The column widths of the table are adjustable. For more information on how to adjust the column widths of the table, see Section 2.8.2, Adjust Column Widths, on page 27. Filter Defines and applies a filter to the alarm viewer. Find Searches through the alarms for the string of characters that you define. Customize Adds, removes, and organizes the columns in the alarm viewer. Print Prints the alarms. Update On Allows the alarm viewer to periodically update the displayed data. Update Off Halts the current display of data by turning periodic updating off. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

47 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 4 Alarms Filtering the alarms list Filtering by Date and Time Use the Date and Time tabbed panel to narrow the dynamic alarm page s focus to a specified span of dates and times. A From and To option is available for selection. Activate one or both of these options to define a date and time filter. By default, the current date and time are displayed in each field. Define your own dates and times by highlighting and adjusting portions of the current settings. Example: In the following example we ll create a filter that will limit the dynamic alarm page to only those alarms that occurred yesterday and today: 1 On the toolbar, click Filter ( ). 2 On the Date and Time tab, click From. 3 Highlight the day portion of the current setting and click the down arrow button once to set it to yesterday s date. 4 Starting with the hour, highlight and reset each portion of the current time setting by typing a zero. (Typing a zero for each portion of the time setting is quicker than using the up/down arrow buttons.) 5 Leave the To option deactivated. This allows the filter to include alarms up to the current date and time. Filtering by Text The following tabbed panels allow you to create a filter that is based on a string of text appearing within events: Address Filter for an address by specifying all or part of the desired address. Device Name Filter for a device name by specifying all or part of the desired device name. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

Alarm Text Filter for a message by specifying all or part of the desired alarm text User Filter for a message by specifying all or part of the desired user name (that is, the I/NET login name). When defining a text-based filter, use a question mark (?) as a wildcard for any alphanumeric character that can be variable. Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard for any span of alphanumeric characters that can be variable. Examples: An address filter of *A? will show all alarms and events with the text AI or AO at the end of the address. A Tenant filter of 2? will show all events with a tenant in the range of 20 to 29. An Individual filter of 5?4 will show all events containing an Individual number of 504, 514, 524, 534, 544,, 594. Filtering by Number The following tabbed panels allow you to create a filter that is based on a number or range of numbers appearing within events: Site Number Filter for alarms containing specific site numbers (from 0 to 63). 48 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

49 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 4 Alarms Cell Filter for alarms containing specific cell numbers (from 0 to 1023). Priority Filter for alarms with specific priority (from 1 to 2). A priority of 1 represents a Critical alarm. A priority of 2 represents a Priority alarm Zone Filter for alarms containing specific zone numbers (from 0 to 64). When defining a number-based filter, a From and To option is available for selection. By activating an option, the field associated with the option becomes active. Use these fields to define a range of numbers for the filter. Example: On the Site Number tabbed panel, setting the From field to 25 and leaving the To option deactivated allows the display of alarms with a site number from 25 to 63. Filtering by Status Use the Status tabbed panel to filter alarms based on their current status. The following status conditions are available for inclusion in the filter: Normal (I/NET AckNormal) Passive Unacked (I/NET Normal) Active Unacked (I/NET Alarm) Active Acked (I/NET Ack) Blocked Unblocked Event By default, all status conditions are active, allowing them to be included in a dynamic event page. Deactivate any status conditions you would like to exclude from a dynamic event page. Filtering by User Click the User tab to filter events with a specific user involved. Wildcard characters can be used. For example, the filter F* displays all events involving users that begin with the letter F. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

Select the period to be displayed on the x-axis. Combined with the Number of periods value, see point above, the x-axis can display trend data ranging from one minute to several years. Typically used if you want the x-axis to display the last unit of the period as a whole or not. For example, if a trend log is viewed on a Wednesday and the trend chart is set to display one week, selecting the Show full period option makes the x-axis display the whole week including the remaining days of the week (where, of course, no log data has as yet been recorded). For bar graph presentation you can present bars for hours, days, weeks, months, or years, depending on the log interval of the trend log. Ensure that the 3 settings above are set so that the period is large enough for the selected time scale. The trend chart can display two y-axes, one to the left and one to the right. The axes can have different units so it is possible to compare trend logs of different types, for example, a usage log and an outdoor temperature log. Each trend log is assigned to an axis in XBuilder but the assignment can be changed under Log Point, see below. The settings for the Y2-axis are identical to the ones for the Y1-axis. Type in the title you want to be displayed above the Y1-axis. Select Yes to adjust the Y1-axis so that the highest and the lowest values in the trend log are the limits of the axis, that is all logged data can be displayed without the need for scrolling the chart. Set to No if you want to display a specific range using maximum and minimum values. If set to Yes the Max. value and Min. value settings below will be overridden. If set to No the Max. value and Min. value settings below are valid. To present a range of particular interest, type in the maximum value for the Y1-axis. The value can be typed in but it will not affect the Y1-axis until Auto scale is set to No. To present a range of particular interest, type in the minimum value for the Y1-axis. The value can be typed in but it will not affect the Y1-axis until Auto scale is set to No. The category designates signals in the Xenta Server. For example, a signal of the category temperature can easily be recalculated and presented in another temperature unit. A value logged in degrees Fahrenheit can thus be displayed in degrees Celsius. For every category one or more units are available. By changing units the log can be displayed in different measurement systems. If you modify a unit with a prefix, the Y1-axis range is changed accordingly. 72 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

The event viewer displays logged events. From the event viewer you can, for example, filter the events, search among the events, and print the event view. The following types of events are logged and displayed in the event viewer: System events for example setting the time. Alarm events all events regarding alarms. Trend events for example log stopped and log started. Errors events for example an unauthorized attempt to login ( Bad login user ). Login/Logout events for example successful login, unsolicited login and successful logout. Using an event page ( ), it is easy to obtain an overview of what has occurred in the system, and to track, for instance, whether a user has made changes to system settings which might be the cause of an alarm. The following figure shows an example of the Event Viewer. Fig. 9.1: Event View. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

For example, a device may be started/stopped, or a set point changed, at the beginning and end of each workday. To specify these times, the Time Object Editor is used. It is calendarlike in appearance and enables you to graphically set/modify time intervals. A Time Object can only be created using XBuilder. Creating Time Objects is typically the responsibility of the system manager or engineer. Time Objects can not be created directly in Xenta Server but they can be edited. Fig. 12.1: The Time Object Editor. According to the Time Object above, this time schedule will be activated each Monday through Friday between 8:00 and 19:00 and Saturday-Sunday 9:00 to 16:00. In the figure above, the seven days of the week (Monday-Sunday) are displayed. This display mode is suitable for repeated events (typical for Week Schedules), which are highlighted in white. It is possible to create two different types of schedule: Week schedules (marked in white) A week schedule specifies on and off times for each day of the week.

By browsing the I/NET system and locating its available signals. (The browse function is not available for users with web user privileges.) Each of these methods for accessing I/NET has its own advantages, as described in this chapter. Using I/NET Signals within a Project When the Xenta Server 527/731 is loaded with a project that contains I/ NET signals, you have the ability to quickly access these signals without having to browse through the I/NET system. However, if you have system administrator or operator privileges, you retain the ability to manually browse the I/NET system, even when a project is loaded. You can access I/NET-related signals just as you would access any other signals. Depending on your project, they may be located in value pages, graphic pages, link pages, alarm pages, or event pages. Refer to the Xenta Server documentation for information about the various pages that allow you to directly supervise your building control system. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

For discrete point types, this field provides a drop-down list of available control states. When you download a control state to a point, the control command defined for the control state is sent to the point. Download Use this function to download the control value to the point. Test This function allows you to toggle the test mode ON or OFF. Use the Test mode to isolate one or more points from external hardware. This allows you to verify controller operation for selected points without affecting or using the external hardware. This also allows you to manually enter states/values for points. While using the Test mode, the I/NET controller continues to update the database for the selected point. Your states/values for the point can be overridden by the controller. To prevent the controller from overriding you states/values, also place the point in Manual mode. Note Manual/Automatic Allows you to toggle the point between the two options (manual mode or automatic mode). Manual mode disables all automatic functions from controlling the external hardware (that is, ATS, DDC, Demand, and so on).

119 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 13 I/NET Time Scheduling Overview The TS extension in I/NET allows you to create schedules (independent, master, or slave) for any of the DC and DO points currently residing in a controller. The elements of these schedules allow you to control points based on the day of the week, the time of day, scheduled holidays, or unscheduled temporary events. Time Schedule Types The following types of I/NET time schedules are available: Master Master schedules are used to apply a schedule to multiple points. Slave Slave schedules allow a point to follow a master schedule except for differences that you specify. Independent Independent schedules are used to apply a schedule to a single point. Independent and Master Time Schedule Actions The following actions are available when you are working with an Independent or Master time schedule. Slave time schedules use a different set of actions (refer to Slave Time Schedule Actions, below). Start This action turns on a point controlled by this schedule at the desired time of day. This action issues the first control command (0 or 1) of the point. Ostart (Independent only) Optimized start is a special start related to room temperature. When you use Ostart, the time you enter is actually the target occupancy time. The system actually starts up the device before this time in order to achieve the desired temperature at the target occupancy time. The target temperature information is defined in the Temperature Control Editor. Stop This action turns off a point controlled by this schedule at the desired time of day. This action issues the second control command (0 or 1) of the point. Ostop (Independent only) Optimized stop is a special stop command related to room temperature. When you use Ostop, the time you enter is actually the target vacancy time. This lets the system shut off an HVAC unit while the room is still occupied and still maintain the desired temperature range. This saves the energy (and money) required to run the fan for the extra few minutes involved. Cycle This action lets you select the time you wish duty cycling to start, and indicate the duty cycle pattern (minutes off, minutes on) for the point controlled by this schedule. A duty cycle pattern might be 10 minutes off and 50 minutes on. The cycle repeats indefinitely until it is overridden by a start or stop command or another cycle command. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

120 13 I/NET TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual Ocycle (Independent only) Optimized cycling retains the advantages of regular duty cycling but gives you some control over room temperature. You define the cycle start time and number of minutes off and on just as you do for Cycle. Optimized duty cycling shortens the off time of the cycle if the temperature deviates from the target temperature defined for the point. This time, subtracted from the off portion of the cycle, is added to the on time. This keeps the total cycle time the same no matter how great the temperature deviation and the resulting compensation. This is important in maintaining a staggered order of on/off times. If the temperature drifts from the target far enough, the point ultimately remains on: cycle ON time equals the maximum and cycle OFF time equals zero. Slave Time Schedule Actions Opening an I/NET Time Schedule A slave schedule displays a copy of a master schedule. You can determine if you want the slave point to mirror, optimize, or ignore each command listed in the master point schedule. Mirror As the name suggests, this option causes the slave point to copy the specified action. Optimize This option causes the slave point to optimize the start, stop, or cycle action defined in the master point. Refer to the discussion of optimized cycling, start, and stop, described in Independent and Master Time Schedule Actions, above. Ignore This option causes the slave point to ignore or skip the specified action. To open an I/NET time schedule 1 Browse the I/NET system to find an I/NET Points page. 2 Locate an I/NET point that has a time schedule (TS) extension. Discrete control (DC) and discrete output (DO) points can have a TS extension. 120 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

129 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 14 User Administration 14 User Administration 14.1 User Administration Overview The Xenta Server is a multi-user system and each user can have tailored access to the system. All traffic is encrypted, so no one outside can read the information sent between the web server and the web browser, for example the name and password. Notes Setting up access rights for different users can only be done by the system administrator, who is the root user. User administration can only be done via the web browser. Do not forget to change the password for the root user! In the navigator on the Xenta Server web site, the logged in user can access user administration pages. The system administrator has access to all pages, all other users can only access the Change Password page. Fig. 14.1: User Administration page. Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

130 14 User Administration TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual Security System Essentials The structure of the user pages is made with TAC XBuilder. The system is based on file access. All user functions (the trend logs, configuration pages and help pages and so on) are files and are logically grouped in file directories. Every user has a username, password, description, home directory and authority to read and write. The authority to read and write is assigned on the directory level. The rights are set recursive, all sub-directories become accessible with the same authority to read/write as the root catalog. User Profiles To make user administration easier, the Xenta Server contains user profiles. Users of the same user profile share the properties of the user profile. A change in the user profile thus affects all users of the user profile. There are three different user profiles: Table 14.1: Available user profiles in the Xenta Server User Profile Description Access rights Web User Operator System Administrator The web user only has access to limited parts of the system. The operator has access to all pages and what is needed to supervise the operation of the building. The operator has permission to read/write in relevant parts of the system, and is able to handle all alarms. The system administrator has access to everything. There can only be one user on this level, and the user name is root. Initially none Read / Write Read / Write For someone to have access to limited operations of the building, the profile web user is used. The system administrator then grants access to the relevant parts of the building. The profile operator is used for anyone who has access to be able to supervise the operation of the whole building. The system administrator has access to the whole web site, including all configuration and utilities pages. 130 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

131 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 14 User Administration After setting up the profiles, the system administrator can make modifications. Tip To be able to use a function, the user must have access to the folder it is stored in. For convenience, use one of the profiles, even though it can be done manually Access Rights Note The user administration is done using the web browser. Do not forget to change the password for the root user! After setting up the profile of the user, the system administrator can make modifications to the access rights manually. By granting a user the Read access right on a folder, the user will be able to see everything in the folder and its subfolders. By granting a user the Read / Write access right on a folder, the user will be able to see everything in the folder and its subfolders, and to be able to change values in graphics, values pages and so on The User Administration Page The User Administration page lists all the defined users. By default, only the user root is defined. Fig. 14.2: User Administration page. Information about a user comprises: Name (User) Description Profile File Transfer rights (FTP Enabled, only for a few users) Idle TimeOut (15 minutes 24 hours) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar (158)

132 14 User Administration TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual On the Create User page you create a new user and assign the user settings. Fig. 14.3: Create User page. Password Options The system administrator defines the password for each new user. Users can then change their passwords. Note User names and passwords are case sensitive. User Settings Profile (as in Table 14.1, Available user profiles in the Xenta Server ) Idle TimeOut is used for logging inactive users out of a Xenta Server system. When a user has been inactive for the time period set, the user will automatically be logged out. FTP enabled allows the user to connect to the Xenta Server using the FTP protocol. The user can access the Xenta Server file system for sending and uploading files using FTP. 132 (158) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, Mar 2010

133 TAC Xenta 527, Operating Manual 14 User Administration Frame Settings Under Frame Settings you specify what is loaded into the different frames on the Xenta Server web site when a user logs in. The web site consists of three frames.! Warning Main Frame specifies which page opens when the user logs in to the Xenta Server. Different users can have different pages. For example, a security overview page can open for a user responsible for the security system. Headline Frame Menu Frame The Change Password Page The Access Rights Page TAC s recommendation is to only change the Main Frame if necessary. If you change, for example, the Menu Frame, the default navigation tree or menu will disappear for that particular user. On the Change Password page the user can change his/her password. The system administrator can change all the passwords in the system, using the User Properties page for each user. Access Rights are set as the right to read or read/write in the files belonging to a specified folder and all its subfolders. When a new user is given a user profile, the user automatically obtains default access to a number of folders suitable for that type of user. The access may be changed by the system administrator.

A cell number of 0 prevents the host from storing SevenTrends data for this point. Notes Ensure that the trend type used to store SevenTrends data is of the correct type for this point. The following trend types should be used to store trend sampling data: Analog Sample This cell type stores data for AI, AO, GI, GO, and PI points. Discrete Sample This cell type stores data for DI, DA, DM, DC, and DO points. 7 Enter a Sample Count (0 to 30). This is the number of samples you wish collected before the controller sends out a message indicating that samples are ready for uploading. Note The Sample Count cannot exceed one-half of the number you select for the Number of Samples field. This number, multiplied by the sample interval determines the frequency at which sample data moves from the controller to the host PC. 8 Set the Base Time in 24-hour format. This is the time you wish to begin sampling the point. 9 Set the Interval (1 to 1440 minutes). This is the number of minutes you want to elapse between samples. 10 Set the Number of Samples (1 to 1440). This is the total number of samples that you want stored in the controller.
