5 Section 1 - New Features and Enhancements Totalization for Analog and Multistate Points Section 1 - New Features and Enhancements Totalization for Analog and Multistate Points The Point Commander and Point Editor now support totalization for analog and multistate points. The following point types may now be totalized: LAO LAI LDO LDI L2SL L2SP LOOAL LOOAP LFSSL LFSSP The totalization function accumulates the runtime value of a point. Examples for using this feature include: Accumulating runtime for fans and pumps. Accumulating total volume from a flow rate sensor. Calculating degree days. NOTE: Using the PPCL TOTAL function to access the totalized value of a BACnet Multistate Output point is currently not supported. Totalized Point Report The BACnet Field Panel Web Server (FPWeb) now offers a Totalized Point report, which displays the panel name, point name, totalized value, reset date and time, and reset value. To open the report, click the Totalized Point Report icon under the Reporting bar Siemens Industry, Inc. Firmware Revision Release Notes P4

6 Section 1 - New Features and Enhancements Additional Trend Interval Rates for Time-based Trends Figure 1: Totalized Point Report Example. Additional Trend Interval Rates for Time-based Trends The Trend Editor has been enhanced to support additional trend interval rates for timebased trends. The trend interval options for time-based trends are now hours, minutes, and seconds. Deleting Multiple Points or PPCL Programs The BACnet Field Panel Web Client Point Editor now allows you to delete multiple points. The BACnet Field Panel Web Client PPCL Editor now allows you to delete multiple PPCL programs without having to open them one-by-one. FLN Network Types MS/TP Routed and Ethernet/IP FLNs are now supported for BACnet devices. BACnet MS/TP routed FLN is supported for Programmable TECs (PTECs), Unitary Equipment Controllers (UECs), and third-party BACnet devices. FIN Builder supports MS/TP routed FLNs and IP FLNs. PPCL and Point Editing are currently not available on routed FLNs. Auto-discovery is supported for all BACnet FLN network types. An Integration FLN is now available. For Integration Drivers that support FPWeb, Integration FLNs can be viewed and modified from the FPWeb UI and in Kiosk mode. The following products support the MS/TP Routed, Ethernet/IP, and Integration FLNs: Application Monitoring and Control System Tool (AppMC) FPWeb UI FIN Builder FINlite Launch Pad 6 17 Siemens Industry, Inc.

7 Section 1 - New Features and Enhancements Integration Driver Support on Field Panel Web UI When a new FLN device is created, the field panel is queried to determine which FLN device types it supports. The Web Client displays the appropriate FLN Device Editor window. With Firmware Revision and later, each controller can support one of the following FLN network types: A combination of BACnet MS/TP, routed MS/TP, secondary MS/TP, or Ethernet/IP used simultaneously. Integration Two MS/TP FLN Connections Supported For improved cost-effectiveness and flexibility of BACnet MS/TP FLN installations, two physical MS/TP FLN connections are supported on TC Modular and TC-36 field panels For TC Modular, the PXX FLN 1 port is the primary FLN port, and the RS- 485 ALN is the secondary FLN port. For TC-36, the A port is the primary FLN port, and the B port is the secondary FLN port. To use the secondary FLN port, the primary FLN must be configured as MS/TP and the MS/TP ALN must be enabled. Integration Driver Support on Field Panel Web UI Integration Drivers running Firmware Revision are now fully integrated into the FPWeb editors. Support for the following is included with Firmware Revision : BACnet Driver Johnson Controls N2 Master Driver Modbus or Modbus 250/500/1000 Drivers Slope/Intercept Calculator The Point Editor now includes a Slope/Intercept Calculator which allows you to enter or calculate scaling factors (slope and intercept) to achieve accurate results. Enhancements to Application MC Additional TEC applications in the 66xx range are now available for use in Application MC. You can now select which applications to deploy with Application MC. MS/TP routed and Ethernet/IP FLNs are now supported for BACnet devices. The new BACnet FLN network types MS/TP routed and BACnet IP as well as the use of the secondary FLN port are supported. The mapping file provided with the Launch Pad deployment can be used to create custom applications in graphics. Field Panel Editor Enhancements Field panels with Firmware Revision no longer require a coldstart when the following settings are changed: Site Name Device Location 7 17 Siemens Industry, Inc.

8 Section 1 - New Features and Enhancements TALON Tools Device Description Telnet Enabled/disabled Auto Backup to Flash Enabled/disabled Auto Restore from Flash Enabled/disabled MS/TP Max Master Baud rates TALON Tools NOTE: The primary FLN must be used with TALON Tools. For more information on the primary FLN, see Two MS/TP FLN Connections Supported [ 7]. This topic outlines solutions to issues that have been implemented in the new JAR files. For the TC Driver: The driver now polls after the delay has expired even when the database has fewer than MaxRpmSize number of point objects. The driver now commands points in third-party FLN devices that do not support a command priority array. The driver now reverts to RP when RPM is not supported by a third-party FLN device. The Niagara Network now includes all controllers and points that are found in the BACnet and Siemens TC Drivers. This modification improves performance on the WebSupervisor. Previously, the Niagara Network would only include controllers that were created with the Appliance. You must still create and move graphics and other objects that were not created with the Appliance as those objects will not be copied. For AX Appliance: The UseCOV attribute will be set as Read-only if the device type does not support COV Notification. Application 6554/6654 may be added to the database. The font for points in alarm, but not acknowledged, is now clearly readable. The correct Application Note is now linked to Application Application 6673 and 6674 Heat Pump Summary now displays Fan Status and Coil Status correctly. The graphical views for Dual Duct, Unit Vent, Heat Pump and Fan Coil applications have been enhanced to improve usability. New FIN Builder releases can be used to update graphics in a TALON Controller without encountering a JAR file out of date error.

10 Section 2 - Fixed Issues Section 2 - Fixed Issues Solutions to the following issues have been implemented in TALON Firmware Revision and the related TALON user interface: PPCL now correctly sets the value of a LOCAL or virtual LAO point equal to a LENUM point instead of subtracting 1 from the value. Field panels on a BACnet network no longer fail when they are connected to thirdparty MS/TP devices that broadcast confirmed requests. BBMD fix for broadcast storms: If a field panel that is configured as a BBMD receives a broadcast message from another BBMD, and both BBMDs are on the same subnet, the field panel that received the broadcast message will no longer rebroadcast the message, thus preventing a broadcast storm. NOTE: This is part of the BACnet specification; however, some third-party vendors may not have implemented this yet. Copy paste functions are fully functioning in the PPCL editor. An intermittent issue was found in Firmware.1 that affected the accuracy of TX- I/O digital inputs after a warmstart. This issue has been fixed. Multi-state input objects are now supported for MS/TP FLN device integration. BACnet value types (AV, BV, MSV) that do not have a priority array are now supported. TC-36 no longer coldstarts when onboard points enter a timeout period due to high COV activity Siemens Industry, Inc. Firmware Revision Release Notes P4
