Zone definition All possible zones are listed, based on the device configuration. Zone assignment of the devices is easy and fast. Zone Reporting

6 Plant state The "Plant commissioning" application displays the state of all installed plant devices. Individual devices or the entire plant can be started and stopped in this view. Communication interfaces Multiple, different connections can be selected is a plant has multiple communication interfaces. For example, plants equipped with OCI700 can be operated (operator station). User's guide A user's guide is available for plant engineering and commissioning. Error and warning viewer An error and warning viewer is available for the applications "Topology", "Engineering", and "Plant commissioning". Multiple connections to plants You can now simultaneously connect to all communications partners within a plant. Example: OCI700KNX, OZW775, OZW771 and OZW772. In contrast to previous ACS versions, you no longer need to set up an individual ACS project for each communications path as of ACS version 9. Executor Viewer Centralized view of tasks currently running. Automatic generation of reports locally or sent via Multi-Instances of the ACS Tool ACSTool.exe can be started multiple times. The advantage is the ability to manage, edit, and analyze multiple ACS projects simultaneously. Note: A plant can only have one ACSTool.exe instance open at a time. Topology Reporting Remote access to central units over Internet via cloud Bus power supply and IP Router are now available in the bus topology pane of the Topology application. Enhancements in ACS reporting User can connect the OZW772 and OZW672 central units over Internet via cloud using Remote Tool Access application.

16 ACS790: Offline engineering What is offline engineering? Creation and development regardless of hardware and location. Up to version 8, plants could only be created and developed if entire plants or portions thereof were already available. The goal of offline engineering is to create ACS projects in the office, without hardware elements, to be able to define and prepare the projects as much and as often as possible. Only then is the data provides to the technician on site for commissioning. Focus during offline engineering A large percentage of the project can be created and configured by the offline engineer. Data (especially commissioning data) can be edited for revision purposes in offline engineering. The ACS project includes a documentation folder that can store any number of additional documents. When is offline engineering used? Use offline engineering as much as possible on the following cases: New plants. Extensions to existing plants where the original data is no longer available. Extension, prepared in advance in the office, e.g. since the hardware is not yet available. Partial commissioning, if hardware is not yet available. To replace devices. Main work steps during offline engineering 1. Create ACS project. 2. Set up topology. 3. Configure project in plant engineering. 4. Handover project to the service technician. 5. Set up connection. 6. Match offline and online devices. 7. Download parameters. 8. Commission plants and devices. 9. Resolve warnings and error messages as per the Warning Viewer. 10.

81 ACS790: Document project ACS790 permits a project to be freely documented. In other words, not just saving the technical project to a define location (i.e. the project folder), but rather for any other items including building floor plans, meeting notes, etc. by filing it to a corresponding location within the project folder. The benefit of this concept: The project folder includes the sum total of project material at a single location. When transporting a project to another computer or other storage location, the entire project is transferred. This makes particular sense for archiving. Pack & Go remains the preferred method when using an existing project as a template for a new one. 1 Storage path of all projects 2 Project list The project folder identified with a bus symbol instead of a Windows folder symbol. Content of project folder with document folder at the top. Tasks 1. Ensure that the desired project is open. 2. a) In menu > Project > Go to project folder > Select documents, or b) In the workflows partial pane > Double click Add project related documents.

82 Open the document folder via the menu......or via the workflows partial pane. Both methods open the "Documents" folder. You can now save whatever you consider important for the project in this folder. Naturally, you can also create other folders, or subfolders, etc.

83 ACS790: Hand over/archive ACS project Hand over project data Projects can be handed over to other offices using Pack & Go. See: Create Pack & Go, as well as Import ACS project from Pack & Go. Archive project data Packages for archiving projects can be created using Pack&Go. See Creating ACS project from Pack & Go.

113 ACS790: Bus power supply The power supply unit N125/x2 provides the system power necessary for the KNX bus. The bus power supply is applicable only for KNX bus. KNX bus needs an external power supply in an Area or Line when the total power consumed is more than the power supplied to the bus. You can add the bus power supply unit available in the structure pane of the Standard device library to the KNX bus. The bus power supply unit added to the Area or Line is visible only in the bus topology pane, plant engineering, and plant commissioning applications. Addressing of bus power supply The physical address (a.b.c) of the bus power supply is automatically assigned when it is connected to the Area or Line in the KNX project. The device address ((c), i.e. last part of the physical address) of the bus power supply is always displayed as 'X'. Power rating of bus power supply The range of N125 power supplies offers current of 160 ma, 320 ma and 640 ma. The default power rating value of the bus power supply is 160 ma. User can also set a customized power rating value for the bus power supply.

114 Tasks: To add a bus power supply in a project. 1. Drag and drop the bus power supply from the structure pane of the Standard device library to the KNX project.

124 ACS790: IP Router Introduction to IP Router The IP Router N146/02 is a DIN rail-mounted device. The device implements the KNXnet/IP standard and connects KNX lines through data networks using the Internet Protocol (IP). The IP Router also offers concurrent access to the bus line from a PC or data processing equipment. The physical connection to the KNX is established through a bus connector terminal block. The device contains a RJ45 socket to make connection to the data network (IP through 10Base-T). The IP Router has the following characteristics: Direct access to the KNX installation from any access point to the IP network (KNXnet/IP Tunneling) Fast communication between KNX lines, areas and systems (KNXnet/IP Routing) Communication between buildings and facilities Easy connection to supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and facility management systems Filtering and routing of telegrams depending on individual address and group address The physical address of the IP Router assigned by the ETS Tool software automatically determines the IP Router function as a line coupler or an area coupler. The IP Router functions as Area coupler or line coupler based on the following assignments: Coupler function Line Area Coupler Main Line 1-15 Line Coupler Line 1-15 How to use IP Router in ACS project IP Routers can be configured in an ACS project in the following manner: 1. IP Router as an Area coupler (Area only) 2. IP Router as a Line coupler (Line only) 3. IP Router as an Area coupler or a Line coupler (Mix)

125 You must adhere to three rules while configuring IP Router in a project. Rule 1: In general, an IP Router is used as a line coupler or an area coupler. The physical address has the format x.y.0, with x = 1 15, y = Rule 2: If an IP Router is applied as an area coupler with the physical address x.0.0, then no other IP Router with the line coupler address x.y.0 (y = 1 15) shall be placed topologically under this IP Router. Rule 3: If an IP Router is applied as a line coupler (e.g. with physical address 1.2.0) then no other IP Router shall be used with a superior area coupler address (e.g ) in this installation You must take care while configuring the IP Router and LC coupler in a project, so that the IP Router and LC coupler receive topologically correct physical addresses. 1. IP Router as an Area coupler (Area only) To configure an IP Router as an Area coupler, you must drag and drop the IP Router available in the structure pane of the Standard device library to the Areas in the bus topology pane of the KNX project. LC line coupler can be connected to the IP Router (Area coupler) at one end, whereas KNX devices can be connected to other end of the LC line coupler.

126 The following overview diagram describes the IP Routers configured as Area couplers in the KNX project. In this example, the IP Routers (1.0.0 and 2.0.0) act as Area couplers. LC line couplers ( , 2.1.0, 2.2.0) are connected to the IP Routers configured in the Project. KNX devices are connected to the LC line couplers.

127 2. IP Router as a Line coupler (Line only) To configure an IP Router as a Line coupler, you must drag and drop the IP Router available in the structure pane of the Standard device library to the Lines under an IP Area or directly on the backbone in the bus topology pane of the KNX project. KNX devices will be directly connected to the IP Router (Line coupler). The following overview diagram describes the IP Routers configured as Line couplers in the KNX project. In this example, the IP Routers ( , 2.1.0, 2.2.0) act as Line couplers. KNX devices are directly connected to the IP Routers (Line couplers). No other IP Router can be connected at the top position (1.0.0) in the topology.

128 3. IP Router as an Area coupler or a Line coupler (Mix) To configure an IP Router as a Line coupler and another IP Router as an Area coupler in a project, you must drag and drop the IP Router available in the structure pane of the Standard device library to the Areas and Lines in the bus topology pane of the KNX project. The following overview diagram describes the IP Routers configured as Area coupler and Line coupler in the KNX project. In this example, the IP Routers (1.1.0 and 3.3.0) act as Line couplers and the IP Router (2.0.0) acts as an Area coupler. LC Line couplers (2.1.0 and 2.2.0) and KNX devices are connected to the IP Routers (Area coupler) configured in the Project. KNX devices are also connected directly to the Line couplers (IP

129 Router) in the project. No other IP Router can be connected at the top position (1.0.0) in the topology, in case the IP Router is configured as a Line coupler. Error and warning viewer Errors and warnings will display in the Error and warning viewer of ACS tool in the following cases when configuring the IP Router: 1. When IP router is not connected at the topmost hierarchy of a project. 2. When more than one IP router have same address. You must assign different addresses for the IP Routers (Line coupler and Area coupler) configured in a project. The following screenshots are examples for the errors occurred when configuring IP Router in the KNX project.

130 You can double-click the error/warning displayed in the Error and warning viewer and follow the instructions to resolve the error/warning with possible solutions. Procedure: See Resolve errors and warnings.

131 ACS790: Resolve errors and warnings «Overview of errors and warnings from the plant or plant configuration.» Error Error messages are outputted when an error occurs that renders plant operation impossible or severely limits it. NOTE The cause of the error must be eliminated. Warning messages Warnings are color coded. The principle applies: "The more red, the more severe the warning is weighted." Causes of warnings must be eliminated as quickly as possible as per the urgency. Errors and warnings are displayed in a separate partial pane: Typical displays after generating a topology. The warnings and errors are described in detail so that any correction is easily designed. ACS proposes a solution on some errors and warning types. Troubleshooting errors and warnings The following example illustrates what ACS can offer for this event. All errors and warning may offer other opportunities. The tasks for the solutions are pretty much similar or are the same. Tasks 1. Select error or warning 2. Context menu: Select Resolve errors/warnings. ---> Opens the corresponding dialog field. 3. Open dropdown list. ---> Proposes possible solutions.

132 4. Select possible solution from the drop-down list box. ---> Resolves the error/warning from the selected solution.

162 Zones ACS790: Zones Introduction ACS can establish and address zone and zone type both in Offline engineering as well as in the Online configuration. Zones and zone types A zone is defined as a "Building or plant specific area". Zones are used to exchange information among devices within a common bus system. Zones are divided into zone types each processes specific information. Example Zone type Geographic zone Outside air temperature zone Specific information Exchange of scheduler programs and/or setpoints. Exchange of outside temperature value Communication within zones 1:1 or 1:n relation exists within a zone. In other words, "someone talks, the others listen", or "someone listens while other participants report their requests". Multiple zones can be defined for each specific zone type. They are signed based on numbering. See "Define and address zones". Example Zone type Sender Receiver Outside temperature zone 1 Outside temperature zone 2 Device 1 Where outside temperature sensor NORTH is connected. Device 3 Where outside temperature sensor SOUTH is connected. Device 2 The information on outside temperature is sent by device 1. Device 4 and 5 The information on outside temperature is sent by device 3. Configure zone-specific parameters (connectors) All devices include zone-specific parameters (connectors). They can be switched on, off, or edited (defined). Note that switched off connectors do not display in the zone edit view.

163 Information on zone-specific parameters (connectors) The information (e.g. zone types, settings, communications diagram, etc.) is available in the applicable device manual.

164 ACS790: Define and address zones You can define and address zones in ACS and assign devices (connectors). The steps for these tasks are described using the following examples. Example Zone type Transmitter Receiver Outside temperature zone 1 Outside temperature zone 2 Device 1 Where outside temperature sensor NORTH is connected. Device 3 Where outside temperature sensor SOUTH is connected. Device 2 The information on outside temperature is sent by device 1. Device 4 and 5 The information on outside temperature is sent by device 3. In this value, create and/or process zones and zone types: Requirements The control units as well as assigned devices are located in the topology. All desired zone-specific parameters (connectors) must be set in the devices parameter set. Note that switched off connectors do not display in the zone edit view.

165 Tasks Change by zones 1. Select Menu > Applications: > Plant engineering. 2. Partial pane "Plant engineering": > Expand the plant: Select > Present parameter set. 3. Expand the zone type (in our example: Outside temperature zone). The title of the zone type indicates how many zones have already been defined for this type. The expanded area displays the defined zones. Tasks (create and/or edit control unit device lists) Important: Zones cannot yet be defined for the following tasks. The field is initially empty after expanding the area outside temperature zone. 4. Right-click the empty field > Context menu > Add zone. ---> Creates an initial folder with the same name as the field name (in our example "Outside temperature zone"). 5. Optional: In the "Properties" dialog box, edit the zone name and zone address. The zone name can also be edited directly in the dialog box for editing mode "Current parameter set". But the zone address cannot be changed here. 6. Add additional zones as needed. 7. Click the desired category in the "Selection zone elements" dialog box. In the example: Transmitter. 8. Expand object (device) > Drag the connector and save it to the desired zone under the "Transmitter" folder. In the example for connector "outside temperature" for the RMH760, drag it to Outside temperature zone > Transmitter. 9. Click the desired category in the "Selection zone elements" dialog box. In the example: Receiver. 10. Expand object (device) > Drag the connector and save to the desired zone under the "Receiver" folder. In the example for connector "outside temperature" for the RMH705, drag it to Outside temperature zone > Receiver. 11. Repeat steps 7-10 above for the next outside temperature zone(s). 12. Optional: Added zones or devices can be dragged to another zone in the Edit mode dialog box for the "Current parameter set", by right clicking and selecting "Delete" or "Cut". A deleted device is displayed in the "Select zone elements" as an unassigned device. Important! 1. Changes made in the steps above are now saved: On the ACS project In the parameters of the impacted devices

166 2. For the changes to apply to the plant as well: Write the parameter sets for the impacted devices to the plant. 3. Each time the parameter sets are Read, the view for the zone settings in the edit mode dialog field for "Current parameter set" are updated with the device parameters. Recognized, troubleshoot errors/warnings Errors made to the tasks above are compiled in the Error and warning viewer. You can resolve errors and warning here: Resolve errors and warnings.

167 Central unit device list ACS790: Central unit device list Introduction An image of the central device list is saved in ACS (ACS device list). It is important to always synchronize both device lists. The central unit list can be created, refreshed, and edited in ACS. Important changes from ACS V8 to ACS V9 and higher In ACS V8, search devices also refreshed the central unit list. After the process, the central units as well as all units from the central unit list are displayed in ACS. In ACS V9 and higher, search devices option is now used for coupling (the central unit in ACS with the central unit on the plant). Devices from the central unit list are added to ACS using the process "Update central unit device list". Note The central unit device list is a component of the control unit parameter set. The central device list is also read/written each time the central unit's parameter set is read/written. Description Application Tasks Create central unit list No devices are installed on site. No ACS project exists. 1. Create ACS project. 2. Add central units as well as devices to the topology. 3. Create or prepare central unit list in ACS project. 4. Connect to central unit. 5.

174 Plant commissioning ACS790: Plant commissioning Introduction "Commissioning an engineered plant and individually configured devices." Reason for using the application Select connections Connect to plant Searching devices Assign devices Write parameters to devices. Check or override commissioning-specific device parameters. Check or override device state. Generate commissioning reports Steps for commissioning a plant The plant is installed and ready for commissioning. The engineering data is transferred to the service technician. Commissioning is conducted at the site of the plant. The plant is handed over to the customer after commissioning. Preparation and transfer of data for revision. Customer accepts the plant. The plant is now operational.

175 Connect to plant ACS790: Connections Introduction With the introduction of ACS V9, you can work with a plant using multiple connections. In contrast to previous ACS versions, this means you no longer need to set up an individual ACS project for each communications path. ("Real" connection) Offline engineering can also connect devices from an ACS project with plant devices or purposely disconnect them, e.g. when replacing a device. Furthermore, you can assign ACS project device to a control unit (device list). ("Virtual connection", assign) Real connection Connect to plant. Connection properties. Select connections. Virtual connection (assign) Central unit device list Introduction. Assign devices.

176 ACS790: Connect to plant There are two ways to connect ACS projects to a plant: Automatically Manual Automatic connect ACS attempts to connect automatically on actions requiring a connection. Manually connect Manually triggers one or more connection attempts. The connection can be established in the following ways: ❶ Create a first-time connection Menu > Actions > Connect or Toolbar > Connect Select one, multiple, or all connection partners. Optional: Setting connection properties for each connection partner ❶ Create additional connection(s) Menu > Actions > Connect or Toolbar > Connect Select one, multiple, or all connection partners. Note: Connected devices are highlighted. Optional: Setting connection properties for each connection partner ❶ Disconnect one/more connection Menu > Actions > Connect or Toolbar > Connect

177 ❷ Disconnect all Menu > Actions > Disconnect or Toolbar > Disconnect Link state The connections above can assume the following status: Status Status Description active Inactive There is no connection ready ready There are one or more connections Inactive active All possible connections exist ❸ The connections with the various parameters are displayed on the start page. The following symbols stand for: Communication Device Address Connection type Details (example) Disconnect Connect ❹ Configure connections Connection partner Connections can be configured prior to connecting, or while connecting Notes Bus address of the connection partner USB/Ethernet/Serial/Modem COM1 1. When connecting, ACS checks the connection partner (connection partner and connection properties). 2. The following dialogs display if one of the parameters is missing during connection: Connections dialog box, Connection properties dialog box.

178 Troubleshoot connection properties The following dialog box displays if a connection is unsuccessful: The cause of the fault is described in detail in the "Error" column. One possible resolution is the proper setting of the connection parameters: Click "Edit connection..." ---> Opens the connection properties dialog box.

179 ACS790: Data point access to central units A direct connection to the actual central unit is required to access data points from central units. Data communication via OCI700, OCI702 or N148 is significantly faster than on central units. As a result, it is important to commission plants where possible using these devices. Example Given A plant consists of the following devices: OCI700-KNX (Bus Interface) => Connection via USB OZW775 (KNX central unit)) => Connection via USB (RNDIS) OZW772 (KNX central unit) => Connection via Ethernet OZW771 (KNX central unit) => Connection over analog modem To be determined How is data point access organized? Solutions 1. All connection instances (OCI700KNX, OZW775, OZW772, OZW771) can be used to access data points from the control (no central unit), e.g. heating controller RMH760B. 2. Only OZW775 connections can be used to access data points on the OZW775. In other words, the ACS must be connected to OZW775 to read and write OZW775 data points. 3. Only OZW772 connections can be used to access data points on the OZW772. In other words, the ACS must be connected to OZW772 to read and write OZW772 data points. 4. Only OZW771 connections can be used to access data points on the OZW771. In other words, the ACS must be connected to OZW771 to read and write OZW771 data points.

180 ACS790: Select connections You can connect via bus gateways as follows: Connect (direct connection without setting is possible). Same behavior for a control unit: > Create offline project > Add N148 to topology > Select communication parameter and set > connect. Select and set communications parameter > Connect. The maximum number of permitted bus gateways connected to the PC is set as follows: You can select from possible connections in this dialog box and edit as needed. The dialog box is displayed. While connecting, if multiple connections are possible. When selecting connections, e.g. computer and central unit tasks.

181 Comments on dialog box Access to data points and devices Access to specific data points and devices depends on the selected connection. Multiple or all possible connections can be established to simplified batch operations (e.g. reading an entire plant). Data point access to central units Access to data points for central units is only possible if a direct connection exists to the corresponding central unit. See as well Data point access on central units. Automatic selection of the optimum communication path In the event that a specific connection is not possible, it automatically selects the next possible connection within the selected communication paths. Edit connections The "Edit connection..." button, opens the dialog box "Connection properties". See also there.

182 ACS790: Connection properties You can select connection channels in this dialog box and edit as needed. The dialog box can be displayed as follows: As part of the Connections > Edit connection... dialog In the properties pane for the control unit > Connections {Properties} > Edit... While connecting, if the connection partner parameters are not defined On the start page> Symbol > Project properties > Edit connection. Possible connection properties USB Serial Select the connected device Selection the serial port Modem Select modem type and telephone number Ethernet Select the network card and IP address Advanced Select communications port + file transfer port The port number must be selection when the ports are diverted by IT. IT managers normally enter these settings. Select "Default" to reset to the default port numbers.

See Set device parameters. Some device parameters (e.g. date, time) can only be checked and set online. The parameters are in the "Plant commissioning" application.

196 ACS790: Device state «Commissioning state of a device.» The device state can be used for maintenance/servicing as well as commissioning. Not all devices know one or more device states. Only the state "Started" is displayed on devices without a device state, e.g. room thermostats. Possible device states include: NOTICE The true device state can only be displayed if the devices are connected to the plant and the plant is operational. Started Stopped. Wiring test Device control is active. This state is required to operate the plant and can only be set manually. NOTICE It is important to start all devices after service/maintenance as well as after commissioning. This requires taking care of plant and personnel safety. Device control is inactive, in other words, plant operation not possible. This device state is used for safety reasons on device and building maintenance. The state can be manually selected (e.g. service/maintenance) or the device automatically goes to the state if the device configuration is changed (automatic safety). Device control is inactive, in other words, plant operation not possible. Wiring test is only possible on the device. The state can only be manually set. Tasks 1. Check device state. a.

201 ACS790: Computer and central unit tasks Introduction The trend and task manager distinguishes between the following areas: Computer tasks All tasks within an ACS project and a continuous ACS connection required for execution are referred to as "computer" tasks. Requires a computer to execute. Central unit tasks All tasks within an ACS project that do not require a continuous ACS connection for execution are referred to as central unit tasks. They can be executed without a computer since the central unit, e.g. OZW775 takes over execution. Note the following: A central unit must be available in the ACS project for central unit tasks. The OZW775 displays in the OZW775 in the trend and task manager if the central unit (here the OZW775). Central unit tasks can be defined on OZW775 nodes within the trend and task manager application. Task definition Definitions can be: Created offline, Exchanged within the project, e.g. a computer trend becomes a central unit trend and vice-versa (copy/paste), Exchanged outside the project, e.g. computer trend is added to ACS project B (export/import) from ACS project A, Used as a template (export/import). Definitions include: Name, Description, Interval, Connection parameter, Data points, (Computer tasks only): Definition for automatic generation of reports, including sending s. Note Tasks do not provide insight into time of execution. The definitions reside exclusively in an ACS project.

263 ACS790: Windows error reporting Windows error reporting (WER) is a crash reporting technology introduced by Microsoft with Windows XP and included in the later versions of Windows. When the ACS Tool is crashed, Windows generates an error report which contains crash dumps. The error report is sent to the ACS error reporting team for troubleshooting purposes. The ACS Tool will restart after creating the crash dumps in the specified path. The default path of the error report is%localappdata%\siemens\acs790\crashdumps. Whenever the ACS Tool restarts after crash, the following "Finalize Crash Dumps" dialog box opens: There are three options available in the "Finalize Crash Dumps" dialog box. Option 1: User can send all crash dumps stored in the specified path through and then delete the crash dumps from the directory. setup must be configured in the machine for sending the crash dumps to the ACS error reporting team. Option 2: User can send all crash dumps via later. Until the user selects the option 1 or option 3, the "Finalize Crash Dumps" dialog box will appear again on every ACS Tool restart after crash, even if a single crash dump is available in the machine. Option 3: User can delete all crash dumps stored in the specified path if no user action is required. In this case, the crash dumps will be deleted and will not be sent to anyone. Please manually delete the crash dumps in case the machine has not enough space.
