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 />

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 />

The BACnet scheduler from nPO 2.0 needs<br />
the BACstac BACnet protocol stack 4.2.<br />

upgrade from older versions of the<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 />
