Import tags first, than the alarms. Otherwise<br />

the alarms will reference non existing tags.<br />

that are not allowed in a tag name (*=. etc.),<br />

the conversion tool replaces them. If two<br />

house addresses only differ in one of these<br />

characters, the same tag name will be<br />

generated for both.<br />

Network drives need special attention,<br />

since their size may be limited by the<br />

administrator. For example, if a 1 GB<br />

network drive is on a 40 GB hard drive, the<br />

operating system will return, that 1GB of 40<br />

GB is free (= 2.5%), and novaPro Open will<br />

start to delete the history files, since the<br />

default limit is 97%.<br />

The error may have been originated by any<br />

process or thread of novaPro Open.<br />

To find out which, please look in errors dat<br />

for the thread that caused the error. You<br />

can identify it by the numbers in brackets,<br />

eg. (1696:2372), and look up for the<br />

process name.<br />

The copy protection is defective. Please<br />

contact SBA to fix.<br />

11. Jul 06 2.1SP1 STATION_INIT_DELAY<br />

SBA.<br />

When initializing automations stations<br />

(subscription of MFAs) the driver makes a<br />

delay after each 32 telegrams in order to<br />

keep the bus clear for the answers of the<br />

AS. With help of this parameter the bus can<br />

be optimized in the initialization phase. The<br />

default setting is 3s. In heavily loaded<br />

novaNets, e.g. with multiple PCs this<br />

parameter has to be increased.<br />

STATION_INIT_DELAY = 5<br />

The status tag $ST needs to be defined, so<br />

the driver can see, if the AS is offline or<br />

online.<br />

Please see the Integration Handbook<br />

EY2400/EY3600 (7001011) for details<br />

Since VPIWNS36 V. 4.2.11, the<br />

initialisation timeout can be tuned in the<br />

driver initialisation file.<br />

This version is available at SBA upon<br />

request.<br />

Create a tag with type DA for the same<br />

MFA as function block AIA or AO. Use tag<br />

type NDA for AOs of novaLink modules.<br />

Example: Address: 001:1_22_DA<br />

Please note: This tag has only to be defined<br />

associated to a defined AO tag.<br />

The BACnet scheduler from nPO 2.0 needs<br />

the BACstac BACnet protocol stack 4.2.<br />

The problem is originated by an incomplete<br />

upgrade from older versions of the<br />

BACstac.<br />

Solution:<br />

1.) Uninstall BACstac manually from the<br />

network icon from the control panel<br />

2.) Delete manually all BACnet-DLLs<br />

(BAC*.DLL) from WINNT/System32.<br />

You might need to reboot the PC to delete<br />

them.<br />

3.) Re-install BACstac.<br />

4.) Register<br />

novaScheduler/Bin/BACnetASPSrvr.DLL<br />

manually.<br />

To do so, drag the DLL to the icon of<br />

WINNT/System32/regsvr32.exe. Please<br />

look for error messages!<br />
