SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General
The Excel Web® is a BACnet/IP-based, freely programmable building automation
controller.
Excel Web® incorporates the two major open standards in building automation:
BACnet® and LONWORKS®.
As a native BACnet® building controller, Excel Web® integrates into any 3rd-party
BACnet® system and can integrate 3rd party BACnet devices and controllers.
Furthermore, Excel Web® is a full LONWORKS® controller. This gives the benefit of
enabling you to use of Honeywell’s complete LONWORKS® product portfolio and 3rd-
party LON products.
The Excel Web® can host a huge variety of building management applications, be it
traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, energy
management functions, including optimum start/stop, night purge, and maximum
load demand, supervisory functions for lighting, sunblind, heat and energy metering
and many other applications.
By virtue of its "peer-to-peer" concept, Excel Web® is not dependent upon the
availability of super ordinate centrals or application network controllers.
Excel Web® seamlessly integrates into Honeywell’s Enterprise Buildings

Integrator™ (EBI) and SymmetrE® front-ends.
Versions and Firmware

Excel Web Versions XL1000B50 / XL1000C50

For more details such as RAM size, please refer to Product Data EN0443-GE51.
Excel Web Firmware Linux operating system
XLWebExe-H-MM-LL.xwa, including firmware itself, BACnet driver and HTML pages

(H-MM-LL are version numbers).
Updating Firmware If, at some later point in time, i.e. after the release of a new version of the firmware,
the user wishes to download the new firmware into the Excel Web, this can be done
either via USB or Ethernet, using the CARE.
Browser Access / Operater Interface

Operator Interface The Excel Web® is operated via a standard web browser (Excel Web HTML
Interface). By default, an integrated web server provides all operation pages for a
full browser-based operation. Through the consequent use of software standards,
any PC platform can be used as an operator interface (client). In addition to laptops
and desktop PCs, panel PCs can also be used for direct flush mounting into panel
9 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
doors. Other than the operating system and Internet Explorer® or Netscape®, no
software needs to be installed on the client PCs.
Alternatively – or in addition – Excel Web can be operated with the Excel Touch
operator interface, which is a 5.7” touch-screen device (order number “XI882” For
more details please refer to the Excel Touch product data sheet, form no.
EN0B0615-GE51) or/and to the Excel Touch User Guide, form no.
EN2B0615-GE51).
Access Modes to
Excel Web Controller Any Excel Web controller on the network can be accessed via the browser-based
Excel Web HTML Interface, both locally and remotely. The Excel Web HTML
Interface can reside on any PC platform client such as:
• Desktop PC
• Notebook, Laptop
• Touch panel PC
The controller can be accessed in one of the following ways:
• LAN (remote access)
LAN
Excel Touch
Excel Web Controller A
Excel Web Controller B BACnet Client

Desktop PC, Notebook
Fig. 1. Access to Excel Web controller via LAN
Permanent IP address, allocated by I.T. department

The Excel Web controller can be accessed remotely via LAN by allocating a valid
and permanent IP address to the controller, which is reachable within the LAN.
Procedure:
See Establish Remote LAN Connection section in CARE User Guide
EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
Alias IP address, factory default

For access via Ethernet, the Excel Web has a permanent factory default IP
address 192.168.253.20 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0. Your PC's IP
address must match the Excel Web controller's default IP address. We
recommend using 192.168.253.21 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0.
When using this default address, you must ensure that you have only one
powered-up Excel Web controller on your Ethernet; otherwise, communication
will fail because all Excel Web controllers have the same permanent default IP
address. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cross-over cable between your
PC and the Excel Web controller rather than having your PC and the Excel Web
controller both connected to a LAN.
Standard Ethernet Interface of your PC

Change the (factory-set) configuration of the integrated Ethernet card so as to
match the Excel Web IP address and IP subnet.
NOTE:
In order to (subsequently) operate on your standard Ethernet network (again),
you will have to change the configuration back to the previous settings.
Dedicated Ethernet Interface of your PC

If the laptop or PC with which you wish to access the Excel Web via Ethernet/IP
is not already equipped with an integrated Ethernet Card, or if you want to leave
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 10
the IP settings of the integrated network card unchanged, you can buy and install
(into your laptop or PC) an external Ethernet network card.
• Crossover cable (local access)
LAN
Crossover Cable
Notebook, Touch panel PC, Desktop PC
Fig. 2. Access to Excel Web controller via crossover cable
To locally connect to the Excel Web controller via Ethernet, a crossover cable
can be used. Hence it has temporarily no connection to any other network and
the Excel Web controller is not reachable in the network.
The crossover cable connection type has the highest transfer rate (100 Mbit/s),
but when applied, the IP address settings of the client need to be changed.
Procedure:
See Establish Local Ethernet Connection via Crossover Cable section in CARE
User Guide EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
• USB (local access)
LAN
USB Cable

Desktop PC, Notebook, Touch panel PC
Fig. 3. Access to Excel Web controller via USB
To locally connect to the Excel Web controller via USB interface, a D-Link DUB-
E100 USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet adapter can be used.
The USB connection type is recommended for the initial setup of an Excel Web
controller due to a reasonable transfer rate (2 Mbit/s) and because no IP address
changes are necessary after installation. In addition, the LAN connection can be
used in parallel and uninterruptedly.
Permanent IP address, factory default

For access via USB, the Excel Web has a permanent factory default IP address
192.168.252.20 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0. Your PC's IP address of the
Belkin USB network adapter must match the Excel Web controller's default IP
address subnet: We recommend using 192.168.252.21.
Procedure:
See Establish Local Connection via USB Cable section in CARE User Guide
EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
IP Address Allocation
To establish any of the described connections, IP addresses must be allocated to
the relevant network components such as BACnet client, Excel Web controller(s)
and USB network adapter.

• CARE access to Excel Web controller via modem

You can work with CARE on an Excel Web controller via modem by connecting
remotely to the modem attached to the Excel Web controller. When the
connection is established, CARE can connect to the Excel Web controller via IP
address. LON-Commissioning can then be done by using a NIC IP (Loytec)
additionally.
Communication Settings Communication settings in the Excel Web HTML Interface comprise:
• Interface settings such as serial baudrates, IP address, neuron chip ID, MAC
address, automatic logout time of web server
• Modem settings
• Remote central (front-end) settings
Bus-Wide Operation Any user can operate all Excel Web controllers residing on a BACnet network.
Network
Based on its design as an IP device (see also "Communication Protocols"), the
Excel Web controller "speaks" BACnet over IP (Internet Protocol) and hence, can be
integrated smoothly and without the need for additional devices into any network
infrastructure having regard to the corresponding network security mechanism.

Fig. 6. Networking model of Excel Web controller
Network Load The network load for one Excel Web controller in combination with one EBI central
is about 1 % network load in a 10 Mbit network.
These figures are based on the following assumptions:
• 20 BACnet properties per display

• BACnet properties are updated by 5 EBI displays simultaneously
• Each property is updated every 5 s. One update message for a simple property
needs 100 bytes, for a complex property 200 bytes.
Calculation: 5 displays * 20 properties/display * 150 bytes/property *

1 update/5 s = 30000 bits per second.
If alarms should be received and properties should be in trend, everything should

not consume more than 100 Kbits/s, which is 0,1 % in a 100 Mbit network.
Communication Protocols BACnet/IP - ISO 16484-5 – ENV 13321-1

Communication with other Excel Web® controllers, with 3rd-party BACnet® devices,
with Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator™ and SymmetrE® front-ends, and
with 3rd-party BACnet® front-ends is based on the international BACnet® Protocol.
More details on the BACnet® Interoperability can be obtained from the Excel Web®
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
LonTalk®
Communication with physical I/O modules, with room and zone controllers, and with
Excel 50/500 controllers is based on LonTalk®.
A Free Topology Transceiver (FTT-10A or FT-X1) allows a communication speed of
78 KBaud.
In typical cases, field devices are controlled via Honeywell Distributed I/O
(XFL52xB) or Smart I/O (XFCxxx) modules. Maximum cable lengths are 320 m to
2,200 m.
HTTP
Excel Web® can be operated using a standard Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) or
Netscape (6.2.1 or higher). The required minimum screen resolution is 800 x 600
pixels. For more details, please refer to the "Operating the Excel Web HTML
Interface" section.
FTP
The firmware and application are downloaded via the standard FTP (File Transfer
Protocol).
Telnet
Telnet access to the Excel Web controller is possible for the purpose of service and
diagnostic of the Linux operating system and the Excel Web firmware. In case this is
needed, please contact your Honeywell representative.
13 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for the embedded Email alarming functionality
of Excel Web.
Time Synchronization BACnet clients such as EBI or 3rd-party BACnet front-ends, can time sync the Excel
web controller via the standard time sync or UTC time sync BACnet service. When
having multiple Excel web controllers on a network without any BACnet client being
the time master, the time must be set for any controller separately and correctly
before downloading the application.
EBI Compatibility The Excel Web controller communicates with BACnet front-ends only.
Supported BACnet front-ends are:
• EBI / SymmetrE Software

For more information, please refer to the following software release bulletins:
− EBI R300.1 with Excel Web / BACnet Software Update

− SymmetrE R300.2 with Excel Web Software Update
− EBI / SymmetrE R310.1 or later
• XFI Software
The XFI has not been tested yet with Excel Web, but supports BACnet
functionality.
Operation and Application Software
Programming The Excel Web® is freely programmable using the CARE Engineering Tool and is
thus ideal for all Building Control and Building Management tasks.
This allows making use of standard, pre-tested and pre-documented application and
control strategies.
Application Control Four selectable control loop speed classes (multitasking) with defined cycle times
and switching tables allow tailored and highly effective applications control.
User Administration Your control system is protected by defined user access rights. This ensures that
only authorized persons have access to the system data. There are six pre-defined
user levels. The predefined user levels are arranged hierarchically and the
sequence with descending priority is as follows:
• System Admin (128)

• Project Admin (115)
• Building Engineer (96)
• Operator (64)
• Tenant (32)
• Guest (0)
Excel Web® allows the definition of up to 128 user levels by default. The above
mentioned user levels are available. Each user level can have different read and
write rights assigned, e.g. Display Communication Settings, Create and Delete
Calendars, Change clock settings, etc. Several users with individual passwords can
be defined for each user level.
NOTE: There is no limit to the number of users per user level.
Datapoints Datapoints are the basis of the Excel Web – BACnet system. Datapoints contain
system-specific information such as values, status, limit values, and default settings.
The user has easy access to datapoints and the information they contain.
The user can recall and modify information in the datapoints.
Alarm Handling Alarm handling is defined and realized in the application.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 14
BACnet alarming
On datapoint level, alarming is done by the BACnet intrinsic reporting service.
The following point changes may generate alarm messages:
• Exceeding limit values (analog points and pulse converter point)

• Changes of state (binary and multi-state input and value datapoints)
• Faults (due to, e.g. LON communication errors or e.g. sensors breaks)
Alarming is further supported by notification class objects, which contain information

required for the distribution and segregation by time and addresses of alarm/event
notifications within a BACnet system.
Notification class objects allow up to 256 alarm priorities. By default, CARE provides
3 notification class objects matching the EBI alarm priorities:
• Urgent
• High
• Low
IMPORTANT
The internal ring alarm buffer takes max. 100 alarms.
Excel Web does also support the BACnet algorithmic alarming service.
The algorithmic alarming uses the standard BACnet “Event Enrollment Object” and
is used to provide the following functionality:
• Warning limits for analog datapoints (Min. and Max. warning limits, in
addition to the Min and Max Alarm limits)
• Alarming for datapoint change between “auto” and “manual”
• Alarming for missing or late acknowledgement of alarms
• Maintenance alarming, based on elapsed runtime of datapoints or number
of state-changes of datapoints.
• Alarming for unsuccessfull transmission of Email alarms
• Alarming for stopped or started plants within Excel Web
LON alarming
As LON does not know "devices" but only NVs, I/O module alarming must be
realized by mapping a particular NV to the appropriate "alarm" datapoint in CARE.
Then for the alarm datapoint, the alarm settings are to be defined as usual.
Remote LON Commissioning Excel Web Controllers on a LON bus can be commissioned remotely via LAN / WAN
using CARE or Excelon (can be used as LonWorks protocol analyzer via LAN).
Time Programs Time programs comprise schedules and calendars.
Schedules
Schedules are daily and weekly time programs.
Whenever you want, you can use schedules to enter the setpoint or status for any
datapoint.
Schedules are assigned to plants. Each plant of a controller can have multiple
schedules assigned and each schedule can command datapoints of that plant.
Each schedule specifies a list of datapoint properties to command (switchpoints) on

a weekly basis. The week program defines the normal daily activity of the system by
specifying which switchpoints are to be commanded each day of the week. The
week program applies to a definable time period. There is only one-week program
per schedule.
Schedules offer 16 write priorities that define the priority for writing to the present
value of output and value datapoints. Note that only priorities 9 to 16 are allowed in
the controller.
The write priority applies only to the present value property of virtual points and
output points. The write priority is ignored for all other types of properties.
15 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
For every schedule (week program), specific programs called exceptions can be
created. Exceptions have higher priority than the week program and will overwrite
the week program for a definable time period. Exceptions can be one of the
following four time periods:
• Specific Date
e.g. Christmas Eve or 5.5., the whole of May, or the whole year of 2004
• Date Range
e.g. Summer holidays from 29.7-7.9.2004
• Recurring Event
e.g. every last Friday of every month
• Calendar Reference
A project-wide calendar provides dates, e.g. regional holidays and
public/religious festivals or any other particular date. The time period can be a
specific date, a date range or a recurring event.
Calendars
Calendars contain exception days or periods, e.g. Christmas, holidays. Calendars
are valid for the whole project, and are executed in each controller but apply only to
those schedules, which reference calendars. Changes in multiple particular
controller schedules can be quickly made by simply changing a calendar in one
controller. Thus project-wide scheduling can be influenced.
Trending Trending can be performed via the Excel Web HTML Interface residing on any PC
platform and via BACnet clients. Trend data is stored on an 2 MB integrated Flash
memory which can hold a maximum of 64,000 trend records distributed among 125
trend log objects. In addition, three trend log objects are used for LON statistic
trending. A single trend log object can include max. 2.880 trend records (max. trend
buffer size). One trend record equals 30 bytes. Extended trend memory is possible
by using a 3rd-party standard Compact Flash card or micro drive. Trend data storage
can be in ´Ringbuffer` mode or in ´Stop When Full` mode. Trend data are
dynamically created in the controller and can be saved in a .CSV file.
Trend data have unlimited lifetime and survive an application download. Trend
objects must be explicitly deleted via Excel Web HTML Interface or BACnet. This
deletes also the corresponding trend records. The trended object may be a local or
a reference point in the same controller and the trended property may be integer or
floating point, e.g. point value, point state, alarm limit, time stamp.
Trending via BACnet Client

BACnet clients like EBI will use the BACnet ´read range service` to readout trend
values from the Excel Web controller. Trend recovery for BACnet clients, specifically
EBI and SymmetrE optionally provide an automated recovery mechanism which
allows to "backfill" missing trend data on the BACnet client side with trend values
from the Excel Web controller.
Controller Based Trending A Compact Flash Card (type 1 or type 2) or micro drive allows memory extensions
for the purpose of expanding integrated trend memory and increasing historical data
storage. The integrated on-board trend memory allows saving of max. 64.000 trend
values.
Protocolling In the context of the Excel Web controller, "protocolling" means creating a log of the
values or states of the datapoints, which have been assigned to this particular Excel
Web controller. Using the Excel Web HTML Interface, the user must place the
corresponding datapoints into "trend". If, at some later point in time, i.e. after lengthy
operation, a protocol of the Excel Web controller's history is desired, the
corresponding trend data can be generated, viewed, and downloaded (in CSV
format) via the browser interface. For the storage of larger amounts of trend data
(more than 64,000 trend entries – corresponding to approx. 2 MB), a CF card or
micro drive can be used. The trend data can even be downloaded into a BACnet
client if this client supports this BACnet service.
When connected to the Excel Web controller via Internet Browser, all other Excel
Web controllers of the same project can be operated without the necessity of a new
login.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 16
Backup/Restore
The Excel Web controller supports the BACnet Backup/Restore functionality by the
backup/restore of the application files.
When performing a backup/restore of the application files, the following must be

noted:
• Online changes may not be considered circa 1 minute before the backup is
started.
• Do not restore the application if the LON interface of the controller has been
changed via CARE.
Diagnostics
LON Diagnostics The Excel Web HTML Interface allows trending and display of LON specific
parameters, e.g. messages received and transmitted, communication errors, etc.
BACnet Diagnostics The Excel Web HTML Interface allows display and analysis of BACnet services
which have been initiated or executed by Excel Web.
Furthermore the Excel Web HTML I/F allows searching for BACnet objects in a
BACnet network.
Modem Diagnostics Modem diagnostics is based on open LINUX and the Excel Web offers the standard
LINUX modem log functionality.

USER ADMINISTRATION
37 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
The user administration (user access manager in CARE) is used for defining user
rights according to the required functions. These definitions are done in CARE firstly
by creating the users and issuing the functions they should have permission for in
the Excel Web HTML Interface. In addition, the user administration (user access
manager) is used for defining the language and decimal places of values the Excel
Web HTML Interface should display. User rights can be changed in the Excel Web
HTML Interface dependent on the predefinitions of the user in CARE.
NOTE: All users can operate all controllers of a project.

Changes in the user administration will be automatically synchronized
among all Excel Web controllers in the same project.
Access Rights List An access rights list for a complete project will be created by assigning predefined
user levels to all executable functions (access rights) of the Excel Web HTML
Interface. An access rights list may look as follows:
Access Right User Level

Change Communication Settings System Admin
Create and Delete Schedules Building Engineer
Create and Delete Trends Building Engineer
Display Diagnostics Tenant
The predefined user levels are arranged hierarchically and the sequence with
descending priority is as follows:
• System Administrator (128)

• Project Administrator (115)
• Operator (64)
• Tenant (32)
• Guest (0)
Example:
When assigning Óperator` to Ćreate & Delete Calendars`, a user having a user
(access) level below Óperator`, for example ´Tenant` or ´Guest`, is not able to
create and delete calendars. A user having a user level equal to or higher than
Óperator`, for example ´Building Engineer` or ´Project Admin` is able to create and
delete calendars.
NOTE: When creating a project in CARE, the System Admin level is

automatically assigned to the user who has created the project.
Only the user who has System Admin user level can create new
users and edit or delete existing users.
User Profile For each user within a project, a user profile with the following properties will be
created:
• User name
• User (access) level
• Language
• Decimal places
• Password
• Access rights
• Email address(es)
A user is identified by its user name. One of the predefined user levels will be
appropriately assigned to the user (name).
Due to the access rights list definitions, this assignment automatically determines
the set of access rights, which the user is allowed to execute in the Excel Web
HTML Interface.
All users having a user level higher than or equal to the assigned user level will have
this access right enabled in the Excel Web HTML Interface, all others will not.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 38
NOTE: A user can carry out his/her assigned access rights in all controllers of the
project.
In addition, the user profile includes the settings of the language in which the Excel
Web HTML Interface is displayed and the number of decimal places of values to be
displayed in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
For the email alarming function, the user must have an email address assigned
which allows receiving alarm emails generated by the Excel Web controller. For
each user, max. 5 email addresses can be assigned .
Finally, a password for each user must be issued for secure operation of the Excel
Web HTML Interface.

Implications of CARE Settings For some items such as datapoints and control loops, access rights can be
predefined in CARE only. Dependent on the settings done in CARE, some items
may not be visible in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
Example: When assigning the read access level ´building engineer` to all analog
inputs, no analog inputs are visible for users having a user access level
assigned which is lower than the ´building engineer` level, e.g. for users
with the user access levels óperator`, ´tenant`, or ´guest`.

DATAPOINTS
An Excel Web® controller supports up to 600 physical datapoints and an unlimited
number of value datapoints.
A datapoint has different properties according to its type. Properties are displayed
and can be modified via a standard browser on operator interfaces such as laptops,
desktop PCs, or panel PCs. Properties contain information about the given
datapoint. Among many more, this information could be:
• Present value
• Transition events
• Descriptions
• Input limits values
• Operating status
• Elapsed run time
The following sections provide more-detailed information about the different kinds of
datapoints and datapoint properties and explain which properties are assigned to
which datapoints.
In addition, the Excel Web controller has two Integrated I/Os:
Binary Output
• potential-free relay, SPST (single pole single throw), normally open, 24 Vac +/-
20%, max. 2 A permanent load
• application-driven
• 1 "active" LED, illuminated when contacts closed
The binary output can be used for connecting an alarm buzzer.
Binary Input
• potential-free contact, max. 36 Vdc
• application-driven
• 1 "active" LED, illuminated when contact closed
Physical Datapoints
Physical datapoints are inputs and outputs attached to hardware devices like
sensors and actuators.
The following are examples of physical datapoints:
Analog Inputs NTC, PT 1000, PT 3000, BALCO Sensors (PT 3000/BALCO), standard 0...10 V / 0
(4)...20 mA input, to connect outside air temperature sensors, for example.
Analog Outputs Outputs with a continuous 0...10 V output signal for controlling continuous actuators
Binary Inputs Inputs for processing voltage-free signals (switches, contacts, counters).
Binary Outputs Outputs for driving three-position actuators, for example, a damper motor; two
position devices, for example, a circulation pump; and pulsed outputs
Multi-State Inputs Inputs used for equipment feedback (Automatic, On, Off)
Multi-State Outputs Outputs controlling multi-stage fans (0, 1, 2, 3)
Pulse Converter Digital inputs for processing pulsed signals up to 20 Hz (depending on I/O module
specifications), for example, metered energy consumption.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 40
Value Datapoints
Value datapoints are values (intermediate results and parameters) computed while
the application program is running. In contrast to physical datapoints, value
datapoints are not directly connected to hardware devices.
A typical example of a value datapoint is a room temperature setpoint.
Access via datapoint name During system operation, you may need to access these values. To simplify this
process, you can include value datapoints in the datapoint list, where you can
access them directly via their datapoint name.
Like physical datapoints, value datapoints, too, can have different properties; for
example, they can specify a manual value, set minimum and maximum values, or
log trends.
The following are types of value datapoints:
• Analog value points

• Binary value points
• Multi-state value points
Analog Value Datapoints Analog value points are software points containing an analog value in the user
program.
An analog value point could, for example, contain a flow temperature setpoint cal-
culated from the room setpoint and the outside air temperature via the heating
curve.
Binary Value Datapoints Binary value points are software points containing a binary value in the user
program.
For example, logical AND operation:

The AND operation provides a logical 1 output when all input conditions are also
logical 1. Otherwise the output is a logical 0. If the user program contains such an
AND operation on different input conditions, then the output could be available as a
binary value datapoint.
Multi-state Value Point Multi-state Value datapoints allow switching 32 stages (including the “off stage“) of
physical digital inputs or outputs. Depending on the number of stages, the multi-
state value point provides up to 32 editable stage texts, e.g., stage 1, stage 2, stage
3, etc, to be edited in CARE.
A typical example would be a multi-state electric heater or a multi-stage fan.
Reference Datapoints
If your control and monitoring system contains more than one controller, the con-
trollers communicate with one another via the BACnet bus. This enables one con-
troller both to read and set the datapoints from other controllers, and to read values
of 3rd-party BACnet devices of the project and external BACnet devices which are
not in the project.
This data communication is realized via so-called reference input/output points.

They always originate in or write to another plant and may originate in or write to
another controller.

Please refer also the datapoint property description in the "Reference" section.
Mapped Datapoints
The Excel Web controller may have I/O devices connected via the LONWORKS
network. LONWORKS network variables (or individual fields of structured network
variables) can be mapped to the property "Value" of physical datapoints (AI, BI, AO,
BO, MI, MO). Analog value, binary value, and multi-state value points are also
supported for NV mapping. Note that multi-state points on BACnet start counting
from 1 while enumerated NVs start counting from zero. So a +1 conversion table
must be applied for NVI mapping and a -1 conversion table must be applied for NVO
mapping.
For more information on LONWORKS network variables and datapoint mapping,

please refer to the CARE User Guide, EN2B-0182GE51.
Datapoint Properties
Each datapoint type has associated with it various parameters, which allow the user
to set, e.g., the datapoint name, the level of access protection, alarm behavior, and
other options. These parameters are called properties. Each property performs a
specific function related to the datapoint.
Not all properties are available for every datapoint type.
Datapoint Refreshing The following properties will be simultaneously refreshed to an EBI central or the
Excel Web HTML Interface:
• Present value
• Operating mode
• Reliability
• Status flags
• Event state
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 42
• Event time stamp

• Acknowledged transition
• Command priorities
• Active/Inactive texts
• Elapsed active time
• Time of active time reset
• State texts
• Feedback value
• Time of present value reset
NOTE: A complete list of all properties associated with the various datapoint
types can be found in the section Datapoint Properties Overview.
Operating Mode The user is able to switch each datapoint between manual and automatic operation.
Automatic
Under automatic operation, the controller processes the values at the inputs, for
instance from temperature sensors. For outputs, under automatic operation, the
status shown by the user/time switch program is adopted, e.g., ´Heating circuit
pump off`.
Manual
During manual operation, the controller uses the manual values, for example, ´flow
temperature setpoint = 60°C`. Outputs adopt the preselected condition, for example,
´Heating circuit pump on`.
Local Manual Override If manual override controls are present on either the analog output or digital output
modules connected via a LONWORKS network, then the status of these controls
(automatic/manual override) is displayed in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
Properties Descriptions
How to Read the Datapoint Properties Description
In the following, all datapoint properties which exist in the Excel Web HTML
Interface and in CARE are described. Each property description starts with a table
that explains:
• which datapoints the property applies to

• where the property is available, either in CARE or in the HTML Interface or in
both of them
• if the property is editable and where (HTML Interface and/or CARE) it can be
changed.
• the corresponding equivalent name, if the property name is different in the HTML
Interface and in CARE
All valid items are highlighted in gray. Non-valid items remain in white.
Examples: The following table explains the Active / Inactive Text property.
In this case the property applies to the BI, BO and BV datapoint
types. It is available in the HTML Interface and in CARE. It can
be edited in CARE but not in the HTML Interface. In the HTML
Interface the property is not called Active / Inactive Text but is
displayed as Auto or Manual property.

The alarm delay determines how long a ´To-Off-Normal` or a ´To-Normal` transition

must exist before an alarm is generated. Entering an alarm delay time of 10 seconds
means that the limit value must be exceeded for at least 10 seconds before this
datapoint generates an alarm. If the limit value only lasts for 7 seconds, then no
alarm occurs. The alarm handling for a datapoint can be completely disabled by
setting the alarm delay time to a value of 100000 or higher.
Alarm Text
Editing - X
Equivalent
For the property Álarm text`, CARE allows entering personalized alarm texts for the
different event states of an analog or digital point. The assigned alarm text is shown
with the alarm, which is caused by the corresponding transition event.
Alarm texts can have 256 characters at maximum with no restriction on the used
character type.
Analog points have twelve, Digital points have six possible event states. The
following table shows the event states and examples for alarm texts:
Nr. Analog Event States Alarm Text Example Digital Event States Alarm Text Example
1 High Limit to Normal Value below High Limit Fault to Normal Input OK
2 Low Limit to Normal Value above Low Limit Normal to Fault Input Failure

The BACnet instance number of a device object is visible in the Excel Web HTML
Interface.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 46
When creating objects in CARE such as datapoints, schedules or calendars, CARE

assigns an instance number to each object. The instance number is unique within
the same object type but the same instance number may also exist in other object
types. The instance number of the device object is unique on the whole BACnet
network.
The following table shows examples of instances, which CARE automatically

assigns to the corresponding BACnet objects while they are created:
Object Type Instance Number

Analog input 1 1
Analog input 2 2
Analog input 3 3
Analog input 4 4
Analog input 5 5
Binary input 1 1
Binary input 2 2
Binary input 3 3

Binary input 5 5
The instance number in combination with the BACnet object type information is one
method in creating and adding a 3rd party BACnet device to the BACnet bus (see
also "BACnet Object ID" section).
This information must be provided by or to the project engineer/vendor who is

responsible for the 3rd party BACnet device to be added to the CARE project, or who

CARE.
Example:
The temperature of a room is recorded at a sensor input, and then the associated
datapoint name could be as follows:
Room_Temp.1.10 (Room temperature, 1st floor, room 10)
The datapoint can be accessed directly by selecting this name in the Excel Web
HTML Interface or the EBI.
Point names can have a maximum of 40 alphanumeric characters. They must not
include Tabs, double quotes, space characters and the following characters, ?, *, : ,
/ , \ , < , > . All other printable characters are allowable (A-Z, 0-9, +, -, _,
äöüßÄÖÜéè@§$%&#, etc). For example, 12A is a datapoint name, but 12 is not.
It is not recommended to use quotes or double quotes!
A project may use ISO 8859-1 or ANSI X3.4 characters. All BACnet Servers on a
network should use the same character set (Honeywell and 3rd party devices).
IMPORTANT
It is recommended not to use characters, which are not part of ANSI X3.4
(US-ASCII). Note that the max. length of the datapoint name for Lon points
should not exceed 13 characters (see Lon point property). But the BACnet

contains the event-type description, the parameters needed to determine if the event
has occurred (Algorithmic Change Reporting), and a device to be notified.
Alternatively, a Notification Class object may serve to identify the recipients of event
notifications. A device is considered to be "enrolled for event notification" if it is the
recipient to be notified or one of the recipients in a Notification Class object
referenced by the Event Enrollment object. Event Enrollment objects are the basics
for algorithmic change reporting.

Event State
Editing -
Equivalent
53 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
For any datapoint type, an application and/or product specific value range is defined
in which the point is in the operating (event) state Ńormal`. If the point value has
changed due to exceptional situations, the event state of a datapoint can be either
Óff-Normal` or ´Fault`.
The event states can be shortly described as follows:
Normal
Point is in normal operating state.
Off-Normal
Point value is out of normal range.
Fault
Point is prevented from proper operation. Point value can be in normal or out of
normal range. Due to the maloperation of the point, the value is unreliable.
Causes for a fault can be, for example sensor and cable breaks. See “Status Flag
indications for details.
High Limit
Point value has exceeded the high limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
analog inputs, analog outputs, and analog value points (see also Alarm range
properties in the table below).
Low Limit
Point value has dropped below the low limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
analog inputs and outputs (see also Alarm range properties in the table below).
Fault
NOTE: The Fault property exists twice. In one case, it displays the actual status
of certain datapoints, in the other case; it allows selecting which condition
should be the fault condition.
Display of actual status
Editing -
Equivalent
Indicates the fault status of the datapoint. When the ´Fault` status flag is enabled,
the datapoint or the physical input is not reliable, e.g. in case of sensor break (Open
Loop). See “Status Flag Indications” for details.
NOTE: Multiple flag indications may be possible.
Alarm reporting of Faults:

The ´Fault` status of a point will generate an alarm if a notification class is selected.
Example: A ´To-Fault transition` will always enable the Ín Alarm` flag. Hence both,
the Ín Alarm` and the ´Fault` status flags are enabled.

Equivalent
The High Limit Enable property defines if high limit alarms are generated on the
BACnet bus. The following conditions must be true for the system to generate an
alarm:
• High limit is exceeded and this condition remains present for at least the defined
alarm delay (time)
• Transition events ´To-OffNormal` and ´To-Normalàre enabled
• Notification class (urgent, high or low) is allocated to this point
• Notify type is set to Álarm` (not Évent`)
If all of these conditions are true, then an alarm of event type ´To-Off-Normal` is set
off.
The high limit can be predefined in CARE and changed in the Excel Web HTML
Interface later.
NOTE: According to the BACnet standard, disabling the High Limit does only
disable the reporting of the High Limit Alarm onto the BACnet bus. When
the High Limit is exceeded, the datapoint will still be “in Alarm”, and if a
BACnet front-end is polling the alarms of a BACnet controller, also
datapoints with High Limit disabled will be displayed on the BACnet front-
end as being “in Alarm”.
With Excel Web it is possible to disable both High and Low Limit alarms at the same
time, if the alarm delay time is set to 100,000 sec or longer.

Increment
Editing x x
Equivalent Change of Value Increment
The change of value increment (COV increment) specifies the minimum change in
present value that causes the controller sending the present value to recipients on
the BACnet bus (e.g. Excel Web HTML Interface, EBI).
The COV increment is also used as the minimum change in the present value for
value-based trending.
NOTE: For the pulse convertor point type, a time-based COV increment is
possible.
Usage with Reference Inputs When using reference input points which read input values, the inputs can be reside
either in different plants of the same controller (internal referencing) or in plants of
different controllers (external referencing).
If the reference input point reads values from an internal referencing plant, the
original datapoint value of the input will be taken.
If the reference input point reads values from an external referencing plant, a copy
of the original datapoint value of the input will be taken. Please note, that in this
case, the COV value must be set to appropriate (low) values in order to minimize
falsification of the transmitted value.

• The present value falls below the low limit and this condition remains present for
at least the defined alarm delay (time)
• Transition events ´To-OffNormal` and ´To-Normalàre enabled
• Notification class (urgent, high or low) is allocated to this point
• Notify type is set to Álarm` (not Évent`)
If all of these conditions are true, then an alarm of event type ´To-Off-Normal` is set
off.
The Low Limit can be predefined in CARE and changed in the Excel Web HTML
Interface later.
NOTE:
According to the BACnet standard, disabling the Low Limit only disables the
reporting of the Low Limit Alarm onto the BACnet bus.
When the Low Limit is exceeded, the datapoint will still be "in Alarm", and if a
BACnet front-end is polling the alarms of a BACnet controller, also datapoints with
Low Limit disabled will be displayed on the BACnet front-end as being “in Alarm”.

These default notification classes match the default notification classes of the EBI
central.
Each recipient assigned to a notification class will receive the datapoint alarm
triggered by the selected notification. But, alarms will only be generated for the
enabled transitions (To-Normal, To-OffNormal, and/or To-Fault) of a recipient. Each

Priority Level
Editing -
Equivalent
The value of the present value is controlled by a command prioritization mechanism

which is based upon a fixed number of priorities that are assigned to command –
issuing entities (BACnet tasks, control strategy, time program, manual operator
inputs). Each of these entities writes to the present value with its assigned priority
level. The number of priorities is arranged in a priority list of descending priority.
Example (see next page):
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 62
Priority Level Value

1 Manual Life Safety -

10 -
11 -
12 -
13 -
14 -
15 Control Program -
16 -
Relinquish Default 20,0 °C
The priority list can include max. 16 values and will be continuously updated by
written values caused by the command-issuing entities.
The value of the highest priority level is always written to the present value as long
as the priority list is not empty. If the list is empty, the user-definable relinquish
default value is written to the present value.
For the example in the table, Critical Equipment Control has the highest priority and
is written to the present value. As soon as the priorities 5 and 8 are relinquished e.g.
via BACnet service, the relinquish default of 20,0°C will be valid for the present
value.

The reference property of a reference input point provides the source (BACnet
object) which passes the value to the reference input point. The reference property
of a reference output point provides the source (BACnet object) which passes the
value to the reference output point.
Sources can be any point of any Excel Web controller and 3rd-party BACnet device
of the project.
Reference Points Reference points are a type of software point that can share point information
across plants. If plants are located in different controllers, the point information will
be automatically transferred across the BACnet bus.
Reference Input Points Reference input points receive information from a point in another plant of the same
controller (internal reference) or of another plant in another controller or 3rd - party
rd
device (external reference). Controllers and 3 - party devices can reside in the
same or in different projects (for detailed procedure see CARE User Guide EN2B-

Reference Input Point Operation If the reference input point reads values from an internal referencing plant, the
original datapoint value of the input will be taken.
If the reference input point reads values from an external referencing plant, a copy
of the original datapoint value of the input will be taken. Please note, that in this
case, the “Change of Value” (COV) value of the source point must be set to
appropriate (low) values in order to minimize falsification of the transmitted value.
Reliability
User Interface HTML Interface
Editing -
Equivalent
Shows whether the hardware assigned to the datapoint is in proper condition or not.
Depending on the datapoint type, the following conditions may be displayed:
No Error Detected Loop is in proper condition, that is, present value is

reliable; that is, no other fault has been detected.
No Sensor Sensor may be not connected
No Output Hardware may be not connected
Unreliable Other The controller has detected that the present value is
unreliable, but none of the other conditions describe
the nature of the problem. A generic fault other than
those listed above has been detected, e.g., a Binary
Input is not cycling as expected.
NOTE: For binary output datapoints, the reliability will work only if the service
type of the corresponding NVo in CARE is set to ácknowledged`.

Relinquish Default
Editing x x
Equivalent
Defines the value that will be written to the present value, if the priority list is empty
which means that no other value is present in the priority list. The relinquish default
value allows starting up a control system with a defined status/value.
The relinquish default value is predefined in the application in CARE and can be
changed in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
For further information on priority levels and command priorities, please refer to the
"Priority Level" section.
Relinquish Priority

Resets the current value of the pulse converter or the runtime counter of a binary
output to a specific value. The counting will restart.
See also "Current Value" section.

Runtime (Active Time)

Editing "Reset to"
Equivalent
Shows the runtime of the connected device. The runtime (active time) can be
changed by reset.
The runtime can be reported as follows:
In CARE, use the IDT statement to read the Élapsed Active Time` property of a
datapoint. Compare this value to a limit value and use an additional point to report
an alarm.
Scaling Factor
Editing x
Equivalent
Input pulses from utility meters (gas, water, heat, etc.) transmitted via LonWorks can
be connected to pulse converter inputs using the property "Scaling Factor". The
pulses supplied by the meters are multiplied by the scaling factor and are then ready
to be read as pure consumption values. The "Scaling Factor" thus always indicates
the value of each pulse received.
The adjustable range is 0.0 through 100,000,000.0,
The number of decimal places depends on the selected engineering unit.
Example: A heat meter supplies 10 pulses per kWh "consumed". Accordingly, the
scaling factor (= value of a pulse) is 0.1 kWh/pulse.
State Text
Editing - x
Equivalent State Texts
Multistate datapoints allow switching 256 states (stages) including the “off stage" of
physical digital inputs or outputs. For each state, a state text can be created and
assigned to the point in CARE. The state text is displayed on the Excel Web HTML
Interface when the point switches the input or output to the corresponding state
(stage).
Example: Multi-stage fan with state texts: stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, etc.

Equivalent Alarm Delay
The time delay determines how long a ´To-Off-Normal` or a ´Back-To-Normal`

transition must exist before an event enrollment alarm is sent to the recipient.
Entering a time delay of 10 seconds means that the limit value must be exceeded
for at least 10 seconds before this event enrollment sends an event notification to
the recipient. If the limit value only lasts for 7 seconds, then no event notification is
sent.

Write Access Level

Editing - x
Equivalent
The write access level can be defined and changed in CARE only. In the Excel Web
HTML Interface, the write access level is displayed only.
The write access level assigned to a datapoint determines which user level can write
values (properties) to that particular datapoint on the Excel Web HTML Interface.
A user who has a user level equal to or higher than the assigned write access level
of the datapoint, will have this access right enabled in the Excel Web HTML
Interface, all others will not (for further details, please refer to the User
Administration section).
Datapoint Properties Overview

Each point in a controller has associated properties such as datapoint name,
notification class and descriptor. Point properties may not be available for editing in
BACnet front-ends such as the EBI central, or in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
Contrariwise in CAREm, some online properties such as present value, statuses,
etc. are not available in principle.
This chapter contains tables for each point type. The tables list point properties and
presents the following information for each:
• Property denotation specifies either the attribute name in the related CARE
Datapoint Properties tab and/or in the Excel Web Datapoint Details tabs.
• Whether or not the property is available for off-line editing. “Off-line” editing
refers to changes made to database values while the controller is not active in
the system. In other words, when you are using CARE to change copies of
controller files, not the files in the actual controller.
• Whether or not the attribute is available for on-line editing. “On-line” editing
refers to changes made to controller files while the controller is active. For
example, if you are using the Excel Web HTML Interface or a BACnet client to
change field values in a controller while it is operating.

I/O Initializiation
Input Datapoints (AI, BI)

Start BACnet input datapoints will be initialized with the value ´zero`. After initialization,
the field devices values will be read. If no value is received after the set heartbeat
time (default = 60 s), the Excel Web controller polls the input module.
Alarm behavior At the beginning, all input points are not in alarm by default except those of which
input values have caused an alarm.
After the start alarm time has expired, an alarm will be saved in the alarm buffer,
shown in the alarm list and reported to the EBI as long as the alarm exists.
Restart, Reset, Power Failure,

Application- and Firmware Download
The following values/statuses will always be saved in the battery retentive RAM and
restored after restart, reset or power failure of the Excel Web controller.
• Runtime counter
• Last reset time
• Out of Service flag
• Points in manual operating mode
The advantage here is that these values will survive an application and
firmware download.
When an Excel Web controller is replaced, these values cannot be transferred
to the new Excel Web controller.
91 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
Output Datapoints (AO, BO)

Start BACnet output datapoints will be initialized with the relinquish default value. After
the first heartbeat, the relinquish default value or the present value created out of
the application will be sent to the LON bus.
The output priority 1 “Manual Life Safety” represents the status of a local manual
override switch at the LON module (XFL and XFC modules). This information is read
from the Lon Module override switch after every start of the controller.
In principle, the value with the highest BACnet array priority (2 – 8) will be saved in
the battery-retentive RAM (see "Manual Override" section below).
Alarm behavior At the beginning, all output points are not in alarm by default except those of which
output values have caused an alarm.
After the start alarm time has expired, an alarm will be saved in the alarm buffer,
shown in the alarm list and reported to the EBI as long as the alarm exists.
Restart, Reset, Power Failure,

Application- and Firmware Download
The following values/statuses will always be saved in the battery-retentive RAM and
restored after restart, reset, or power failure of the Excel Web controller.
• Runtime counter
• Last reset time
• Highest output priority of the priorities 2 to 8
NOTE: The datapoint value and the status of the Óut of Service` flag will not
be transmitted to the LON bus and will not be saved in battery
retentive RAM.
Manual Override The value with the highest BACnet array priority (2 – 8) will be saved in the battery-
retentive RAM and will then be restored after restart, reset, or power failure of the
Excel Web controller.
Reference Inputs
Start Starts with the ´Start Value` defined in CARE. Later the referencing input value will
be taken. For more information on the COV value, please refer also to the "Change
of Value Increment" and the "View / Edit Values" sections).
NOTE: Reference inputs are not visible in the Excel Web HTML Interface.
Reference inputs will try to subscribe COV. If the source device supports COV, COV
will be subscribed with a life-time of 1800 seconds, and will be re-subscribed every
900 seconds. If the source device does not subscribe COV, the source object (data-
point) will be polled.

Setting Datapoints into Manual Mode (Manual Override)

A datapoint´s current value can be overridden manually either by:
• Entering the manual value in the datapoint´s dialog box in the Excel Web HTML
Interface or EBI central (applies to all datapoints). This is often called “fixing a
point”
Or,
• Using manual override controls on the analog output (XFL522) or digital output
(XFL524) modules (applies to analog and binary output datatpoints only).
See also "Feedback Value" section.
NOTE: If AO and BO datapoints are created with switches, the manual override
control of the modules are reflected in the command priorities (level 1 =
manual life safety).
NOTE: Switching a point between Auto and Manu operating mode only causes
an alarm if the value or state is in the Off-Normal range or status, and if
the alarming is enabled.
Setting and Detecting Manual Overrides of Analog, Binary, and Multi-State Outputs
Procedure 1. In the Details dialog box of the selected datapoint, select the Values tab.
93 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
2. Click the Manual radio button and enter the value into the field.
Or, to override an analog or binary output datapoint physically, adjust the

override control on the module.
3. To detect if a datapoint is in manual override, select the Command Properties

tab.
RESULT: The priority level ´8 Manual Operator` shows the manual value
which is overwritten via value input in the Excel Web HTML
Interface or EBI central (all datapoints). This is often called
“fixing a Point”.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 94
The priority level ´1 Manual Life Safety` shows the status of the
manual override switch or potentiometer on the LON module.
No Error Detected No fault has been detected.

Setting and Detecting Manual Overrides of Analog, Binary, Multi-State, and Pulse Inputs
2. Click the Manual radio button and enter the value into the field.
Or, to override an analog or binary input datapoint physically, adjust the

override control on the module.
3. To detect and view if an input datapoint is in manual override, you can select
the Datapoints screen.
95 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
RESULT: The input datapoints in manual override will display the

"overridden" (OVR) and “out of service” (OOS) flag checked.
The BACnet Standard specifies an input to be “out of service”,
when it is decoupled from the field signal.
Status Flag Indications
Input Point Status Flags

When an input datapoint is set into Manual mode and its value will be overwritten,
the óverridden` and óut of service` flags are enabled. The enabled óut of service`
flag indicates that the datapoint is decoupled from the physical input (field device) to
prevent a field device value from instantly overwriting the manual value in the next
scan cycle. The ´fault` flag is enabled if the reliability is Únreliable Other` or Ńo
Sensor`.
Únreliable Other` tells that INVALID value has been received. For the handling of
INVALID value packets, the user can apply the INVALID Match option in CARE
which will cause the following in case an INVALID value has been sent:
• With INVALID Match

The point will work with the value defined by INVALID Match
• No INVALID Match
The point will work with last received value
Ńo Sensor` indicates that no NV update has been received. The heartbeat timer
has expired and the subsequent poll has failed. Note that the heartbeat must have
been activated in CARE..
No Error Detected Loop is in proper condition, that is, present value is

reliable; that is, no other fault has been detected.
No Sensor Ńo Sensor` tells that no NV update has been
received. The heartbeat timer has expired and the
following poll has failed. Note that the heartbeat
must have been activated in CARE
Sensor may not be connected.
Unreliable Other Invalid Value is received.
With INVALID Match:The point will work with the
value defined by INVALID Match
No INVALID Match: The point will work with last
received value. The controller has detected that the
present value is unreliable, but none of the other
conditions describe the nature of the problem. A
generic fault other than those listed above has been
detected, e.g., a Binary Input is not cycling as
expected.
Output Point Status Flags

When an output datapoint is set into Manual mode, its current value will be
overwritten by the manual value, which then has the higher priority = ´Manual
Operator` (8). As long as no other process of higher priority than (8) writes to the
analog output, the manual value remains present.
The ´fault` flag is enabled if the reliability is Ńo Output` which tells that the
Acknowledged Service has failed.
No Error Detected No fault has been detected.

No Output Acknowledged Service has failed, or Hardware may be not
connected
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 96
The óut of service` flag is enabled, if NV updates to the output are blocked, for
example by the EBI.
Alarm and Event Priority Classification

Alarms and events traversing the BACnet network need prioritization to assure that
important information reaches its destination and is acted upon quickly. To assure
alarm prioritization at the network level, the network priority as defined in the
network layer protocol control is set automatically according to the alarm and event
priority settings (see following table).

ALARM HANDLING
Alarm Behavior of Datapoints

Event States For any datapoint type, an application and/or product specific value range is defined
in which the point is in the operating (event) state Ńormal`. If the point value has
changed due to exceptional situations, the event state of a datapoint can be either
Óff-Normal` or ´Fault`.
The event states can be briefly described as follows:
Normal
Off-Normal
Fault
Point is prevented from proper operation. Point value can be in normal or out of
normal range. Due to the maloperation of the point, the value is unreliable.
Causes for a fault can be, for example sensor and cable breaks. See “Status Flag
indications for details.
High Limit
Point value has exceeded the high limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
Low Limit
Point value has dropped below the low limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
The alarm range of a datapoint is defined by the datapoint´s specific alarm range
properties.
Examples:
Datapoint Type Alarm range properties

Analog input, analog output, analog High limit, low limit
value, pulse converter
Binary input, binary output, binary Alarm value
value, mult-state input, multistate
value
For information on the detailed alarm behavior of a particular point type, please refer
to the diagrams and descriptions in the following subsections.
Transition Events Whenever the event state of a datapoint changes, an alarm is generated by one of
the following transition events:
Back To-Normal
The alarm is going to normal operating state.
To Off-Normal
The alarm reaches off-normal state.
To Fault
The alarm originates in a (physical) fault such as sensor break, etc.
Any alarm caused by a transition event is indicated by the enabled Álarm` status
flag (see "Datapoint Status Flags" section).
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 98
Alarm Display / Alarm Notification A transition event is the triggering step that generates a notification which can be
received by the EBI, the Excel Web HTML Interface or a 3rd party BACnet client for
displaying alarms. To display a transition event of a datapoint on a BACnet client,
the following steps must have been done:
• Enable reporting of the event transitions by selecting the desired transition event
options in CARE (offline) or the BACnet client (online).
Transition Events are: Back To-Normal, To Off-Normal, To Fault
• Select Notify Type “Alarm” in CARE (offline).
• Enable “High Limit” and “Low Limit” in CARE (offline) or in the Excel Web HTML
Interface or via the BACnet client (online)
• Assigning a notification class to the datapoint (not necessary for the Excel Web
HTML Interface, mandatory for EBI and 3rd party BACnet clients only).
Notification Class JOURNAL Usage

IMPORTANT
Any application that has been engineered by using the notification class
JOURNAL will not loose it. After application upload into CARE, all
notification classes which have been previously defined will be available in
CARE for further engineering and download.

Datapoint Status Flags The event state of a datapoint is indicated by the enabled/disabled status flags:
In Alarm
When enabled, the datapoint is in alarm. Cause can be faults and Off-Normal
conditions.
Fault
When enabled, the datapoint or the physical input is not reliable, e.g. in case of
sensor break (Open Loop). See “Status Flag Indications” for details.
Overridden
When enabled, the datapoint is in manual operating state. The value has been
overwritten.
99 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709
Out of Service
When enabled, this flag indicates that the physical datapoint is decoupled from the
datapoint, e.g. in case of manual override for inputs. The present value displayed is
not the present value, which would be delivered by the physical input.
Example: A ´To-Fault transition` will also always enable the Ín Alarm` flag. Hence
both, the Ín Alarm` and the ´Fault` status flags are enabled.
Alarm Buffer and Alarm Display For the various datapoints, different triggering criteria must be fulfilled before an
event is generated and reported (intrinsic reporting criteria). If all criteria are fulfilled,
the event/alarm is generated and displayed in the alarm list. Depending on the
datapoint type, the following three event types are described:
Datapoint type Event triggering criteria (intrinsic reporting criteria) Event type
Binary Input If present value changes to a new state for longer than the time delay CHANGE OF STATE
Binary Value AND the new transition is enabled in the event transitions options for
reporting
Multi-state Input
Multi-state Value
Analog Input If present value exceeds range between high limit and low limit for OUT OF RANGE
Analog Output longer tha time delay AND the new transition is enabled in the event
transitions options for reporting and if high or low limit enable options
Analog Value are enabled
Pulse Converter OR
Present value returns within the high limit - deadband to low Limit +
deadband range for longer tha time delay AND the new transition is
enabled in the event transitions options for reporting and if high or low
limit enable options are enabled
Binary Output If present value differs from feedback value for longer tha time delay COMMAND FAILURE
Multi-state Output AND the new transition is enabled in the event transitions options for
reporting
NOTE: ´Feedback` value will be supported in a future
version of Excel Web
Suppress Alarm Generation If the alarm delay is set to 100,000 seconds or higher, the alarm will be suppressed.
The Ín Alarm´ flag and the ´State` will not change, even if the alarm conditions are
reached. If the point is already in alarm state (Off-Normal) and the Ín Alarm` flag is
set and the alarm delay is changed to 100,000 seconds or higher, the state of the
point is set to Ńormal`.
Only the alarm conditions can be disabled with the alarm delay of 100,000 seconds
or higher.
The fault condition cannot be disabled with alarm delay.
Start Alarm Time The start alarm time is the time during which the notification of alarms is
suppressed. The start alarm time will become effective upon every start/restart of
the Excel Web controller, e.g. power-on, application start, etc. Entering a start alarm
time is requested to prevent alarm shower at start/restart of the controller.
If alarms are still active after the start alarm time has elapsed, these alarms will be
notified as usual.
Alarm Delay Besides the datapoint´s specific alarm values, e.g. high and low limit of an analog
input, the alarm delay is important for the alarm behavior of all datapoint types.
The alarm delay determines how long a ´To-Off-Normal` or ´To-Normal transition`

must exist before an alarm is generated.

Notification Class Manager

The notification class manager in CARE is used for adapting the alarming to the EBI
central and 3rd party BACnet clients according to the requirements.
This is done by creating, editing and deleting notification class objects. Notification
class objects will be assigned to datapoints in order to enable alarming for
datapoints.
About Notification Class Notification class objects represent and contain information required for the
Object Types distribution of event notifications within a BACnet system.
Notification Classes are useful for event-initiating objects that have identical needs
in terms of how their notifications should be handled, what the recipient(s) for their
notifications should be, and how they should be acknowledged.
A notification class defines how event notifications shall be prioritized in their

handling according to TO-OFFNORMAL, TO-FAULT, and TO-NORMAL events;
whether these categories of events require acknowledgment (nearly always by a
human operator); and what recipient devices (e.g. Excel Web HTML Interface, EBI)
or processes should receive notifications.
The purpose of prioritization is to provide a means to ensure that alarms or event

notifications with critical time considerations are not unnecessarily delayed. The
possible range of priorities is 0 - 255. A lower number indicates a higher priority.
Priorities may be assigned to TO OFF-NORMAL, TO FAULT, and TO NORMAL
events individually within a notification class.
In CARE, the alarms/event notifications are prioritized by default as follows:
Transitions
Event / Alarm Category To Normal To Off-Normal To Fault
High (range 85…169) 168 86 127
Low (range 170…250) 250 171 210
NOTE: The CARE ranges slightly differ from the event / alarm priority ranges
defined in the BACnet standard which affects the associated network
priority (see “Alarm and Event Priority Classification” section below).
The transitions have the following denotation:
Back To-Normal
The alarm is going to normal state, that is, the value of the datapoint remains under
the high limit, or exceeds the low limit.
To Off-Normal
The alarm reaches off-normal state, that is, the datapoint value exceeds the high
limit, or remains under the low limit.
To Fault
The alarm originates in a fault such as sensor break, etc. See “Point Flag
Indications” for details.
The purpose of acknowledgment is to provide assurance that a notification has been

acted upon by some other agent, rather than merely having been received correctly
by another device. In most cases, acknowledgments come from human operators.
TO OFF-NORMAL, TO FAULT, and TO NORMAL events may, or may not, require

individual acknowledgment within a notification class.
It is often necessary for event notifications to be sent to multiple recipients or to

different recipients based on the time of day or day of week. Notification Classes
may specify a list of recipients, each of which is qualified by time, day of week, and
type of handling. A recipient is specified by a set of days of the week (Monday
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 108

through Sunday) during which the recipient is considered viable by the Notification
Class object. In addition, each recipient has a FromTime and ToTime, which specify
a window, on those days of the week, during which the recipient is viable. If an event
that uses a notification class object occurs and the day is one of the days of the
week that is valid for a given recipient and the time is within the window specified for
the recipient, then the recipient shall be sent a notification. Recipients may be
further qualified, as applicable, by any combination of the three event transitions TO
OFF-NORMAL, TO FAULT, or TO NORMAL.
The recipient also defines the device to receive the notification and a process within
the device. Processes are identified by numeric handles that are only meaningful to
the recipient device. The administration of these handles is a local matter. The
recipient device may be specified by either its unique Device Object Identifier or its
BACnet Address. In the latter case, a specific node address, a multicast address, or
a broadcast address may be used. The recipient further specifies whether the
notification shall be sent using a confirmed or unconfirmed event notification.
How the notification class assignment is handled in CARE: please see the following
graphic.

Alarm and Event Priority Classification Alarms and events traversing the BACnet network need prioritization to assure that
important information reaches its destination and is acted upon quickly. To assure
alarm prioritization at the network level, the network priority as defined in the
network layer protocol control is set automatically according to the alarm and event
priority settings. The following table shows the alarm and event priorities
classifications including semantic meaning.
Message Group Priority Range Network Priority Description

Life Safety 00 – 31 Life Safety Message Notifications related to an
immediate threat to life, safety or health

TIME PROGRAMS
Schedules and Calendars

Time programs comprise schedules and calendars.
Schedules Schedules are daily and weekly time programs.
Whenever you want, you can use schedules to enter the setpoint or status for any
datapoint.
Schedules are assigned to plants. Each plant of a controller can have multiple
schedules assigned and each schedule can command datapoints of that plant.

week program applies to a definable time period. There is only one week program
per schedule.
Schedules offer 16 write priorities that define the priority for writing to the present
value of output and value datapoints. Note, that only the priorities 9 to 16 are
allowed in the controller.
Besides the week program, specific programs called exceptions can be created.
Exceptions have higher priority than the week program and will overwrite the week
program for a definable time period. Exceptions can have four different time periods:
• Specific Date
e.g. Christmas Eve or 5.5., the whole of May, or the whole year of 2004
• Date Range
e.g. Summer holidays from 29.7-7.9.2004
• Recurring Event
e.g. every last Friday of every month
public/religious festivals or any other particular date. The time period can be a
specific date, a date range or a recurring event.
Calendars Calendars are assigned to a whole project. They contain exception days or periods,
e.g. Christmas, holidays.
If controller schedules are referring to the same calendar(s), project wide scheduling
is possible for these controllers, because calendar dates are executed in each
controller of the project, which has references to the calendar. Changes in multiple
particular controller schedules can be quickly made by simply changing the
referenced calendar(s).
Switchpoints / Switched Properties By default, the property ´present value` is assigned to a datapoint. Hence, when
switching a datapoint, the present value of the datapoint is switched. This is the
standard case. In addition, in enhanced case, multiple datapoints and or other
properties than the present value can be switched.

TRENDING
Trending Trending can be performed via the Excel Web HTML Interface residing on any PC
platform and via BACnet clients. Trend data is stored on an 2 MB integrated Flash
memory which can hold a maximum of 64,000 trend records distributed among 125
trend log objects. In addition, three trend log objects are used for LON statistic
trending. A single trend log object can include max. 2.880 trend records (max. trend
buffer size). One trend record equals 30 bytes. Extended trend memory is possible
by using a 3rd-party standard Compact Flash card or micro drive. Trend data storage
can be in ´Ringbuffer` mode or in ´Stop When Full` mode. Trend data are
dynamically created in the controller and can be saved in a .CSV file.
Trend data have unlimited lifetime and survive a firmware download under the
following preconditions:
• The Cleanup XL Web option in the Transfer: User Upgrade dialog box must be
unchecked (for details on general procedure, see "Download Excel Web
Controller Firmware (Upgrade)" section in CARE User Guide EN2B-0182GE51)
• The trend object(s) must have been active at least 80 seconds before a firmware
download is executed, because only every 80 seconds online changes like trends
are saved into the Flash memory
Trend objects must be explicitly deleted via Excel Web HTML Interface or BACnet.
This deletes also the corresponding trend records. The trended object may be a
local or a reference point in the same controller and the trended property may be
integer or floating point, e.g. point value, point state, alarm limit, time stamp.
If trending on the CF card is enabled and the CF card is either pulled or become
damaged, the controller will automatically continue the trending using the internal
Flash memory.
PLANTS
The Excel Web application can comprise several plants. This is defined in the CARE
programming tool.
Plants are typically defined to match the controlled application, e.g. Air Conditioning
Plant, Boiler Room, Chillers, etc.
On plant level you can shutdown and restart the application which is running in the
corresponding controller. This is possible via the Excel Web HTML Interface and via
BACnet. In the Excel Web HTML Interface also the latest start and stop date is
displayed.
CONTROL LOOPS
The data processing of the controller is programmed in control loops. Authorized
users, using the CARE software, define them. A control loop receives the input
values from sensors and other hardware or software components. The controller
calculates with these values and determines if a regulation is necessary. In such a
case, the controller initiates the predefined reaction by switching the connected
hardware or software.
There are three types of control loop functions:
• Functions
Functions are basic logic elements with which you can build macros. They cannot
be created, edited or removed.
• Macros in a plant
113 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709

Macros are software modules programmed from functions. Macros in a plant are
available in a single plant. It is up to the user to create, edit or remove such
macros. The same macro can be used many times in a plant. If a macro in a
plant is changed, the macro change will appear in all instances of the macro in
this plant, but not in other plants.
• System Macros
Honeywell provides system Macros. They are available for all projects of the
Database. These macros are protected against editing and removing.
• Library Macros
Library Macros are project independent macros created by the user. The same
macro can be used many times in a library. If a macro in a library is changed, the
macro change will appear in all instances of the macro in this library, but not in
other libraries.
Parameters
Parameters are used for configuration and tuning of the application program via
control loops. A typical example of a parameter is the Integral Time of the PID
control function.
Parameters are part of a control icon which itself is part of a control loop which itself
is part of a plant, etc. Hence, the parameter can be described and addressed by its
path as follows:
plant – control loop – control macro - control icon – parameter
Example: airconditioning.contloop1.supply_temp.integral time
A parameter is defined by:
• Name
• Value
• Engineering unit/state text (in the Excel Web HTML interface only supported for
control macros, not for control functions)
Cycle Time Category

The cycle time category defines the time in ms after a control loop is restarted
automatically. To view/set cycle time categories, please refer to the “View/Change
Cycle Time Categories” section.
SYSTEM SETTINGS
System settings include the following settings:
• System date, time and time zone

• Cycle time category (see also "Cycle Time Category" section).
• Communication settings
Communication Settings Communication settings include:
• Interface settings for serial ports, Ethernet, LON, Modem and Web-Server, such
as baudrate, IP address, neuron chip ID, automatic logout time of web server
• User name and password definition
• Selection of the serial port for modem connection
• Selection of remote front-end
• Dial out parameter (re-dial algorithm) definition
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 114

Diagnostics
Diagnostics allow trending and display of LON specific parameters such as:
• Transmission erros
• Lost messages
• Collisions
• Etc.
For trending LON parameters, basic settings such as start and stop time, trend
buffer values and enable/disable logging are defined.
Diagnostics also allow BACnet diagnostic by showing the actual communication

status on the BACnet bus and search for BACnet objects and identifiers.
EMAIL ALARMING
Purpose Sending an email to a definable email-recipient in case of alarms of selectable
datapoints. Alarms may be generated for each datapoint that has the appropriate
notification class assigned and the alarm reporting enabled. The email includes an
attachment (.TXT) that shows a detailed description of the alarm data, for example:
Democase_Controller
URGENT (193)
Outdoor_Temperature
2008-March-12 We 14:29:16
Notify Type: Alarm
Event Type: Out Of Range
Description: Smart_IO_AI2
Present Value: 50 °C
Low Limit: 3 °C - High Limit: 40 °C
Steps Setting up the email alarming process includes the following major steps:
In CARE
1. Enable Excel Web 2.0 Application format for the controller
2. Enter E-Mail alarming properties
3. Connect to controller
4. Translate and download application
5. Download controller settings
For information on the procedure, please refer to the CARE User Guide,
EN2B-0182GE51.
In the Excel Web HTML Interface

1. Assign email address to the user that receives the alarm email(s)
(recipient)
2. Assign email address (recipient) to the notification class
3. Define alarming conditions for datapoint(s) that should send alarm
emails
4. Send Test Email
NOTE: Steps 1 through 3 can also be done in CARE
For detailed information on the procedure, pleaser refer to “Email Alarming” in the
“Operating the Excel Web HTML Interface” section.

EVENT ENROLLMENTS
Event Enrollment Objects / Algorithmic Change Reporting

Event Enrollment Objects
The primary purpose for Event Enrollment objects is to define an event and to
provide a connection between the occurrence of an event and the transmission of a
notification message to one or more recipients.
The Event Enrollment object contains the event-type description, the parameters
needed to determine if the event has occurred (Algorithmic Change Reporting), and
a device to be notified. Alternatively, a Notification Class object may serve to identify
the recipients of event notifications. A device is considered to be "enrolled for event
notification" if it is the recipient to be notified or one of the recipients in a Notification
Class object referenced by the Event Enrollment object. Event Enrollment objects
are the basics for algorithmic change reporting.
Algorithmic Change Reporting
Algorithmic change reporting enables a BACnet device to provide one or more alarm
or event sources, defined by Event Enrollment objects, to generate alarm or event
notifications that may be directed to one or more recipients. Any of the
standardized algorithms may be used to establish criteria for change reporting.
Once established, occurrences of change may be reported to one or more recipients
based on further criteria. Changes of value of specific properties of an object may be
programmed to trigger event notifications to be sent to one or more recipients based
on a notification class. Typically, event notifications are sent to application programs
represented by processes within a notification-client device. The object(s) whose
properties are referred to is known as the Reference Object(s). The criteria used to
ascertain that an event has occurred are determined by the Event Type, for
example, CHANGE OF BITSTRING, CHANGE OF STATE etc.
The Excel Web HTML Interface supports the Excel Web 2.0 format which allows
enabling event enrollments for

Here you can manually override the present value, that is, switch between
Manual and Auto mode and vice versa, view alarm status (flags) and change
the COV value.
Present Value
Here you can set the datapoint´s "operation mode", to auto or manual. In
addition the hardware reliability (sensor breaks), the characteristic and sca time
of the physical input is shown.
• Auto (applies to all datapoint types)

In Auto operation mode (Auto=checked), the datapoint shows the current
value of the datapoint.
• Manual (applies to all datapoint types)
In Manual mode, the current datapoint value can be overwritten.
To override the current value, click the Manual Override radio button and
enter the value into the field.
NOTE: When an AI datapoint is set into Manual mode and its value will be
overwritten, the óverridden` and óut of service` flag will be set (see
Status). The set out of service flag indicates that the datapoint is
decoupled from the physical input (sensor) to prevent a sensor value
from instantly overwriting the manual value in the next scan cycle..
NOTE: When an AO datapoint is set into Manual mode, its current value will
be overwritten by the manual value that has a higher priority (8). As
long as no other process of higher priority writes to the analog output,
the manual value is present. The overridden flag will be set (see
Status).
• Manual Life Safety (applies to AO, BO, MO datatpoints only)

Shows the status of the manual override switch or potentiometer of the LON
module.
187 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709

• Feedback Value (applies to BO only). Will be supported in a future version

of Excel Web.
• Polarity (applies to BI and BO datapoints only)

The polarity indicates the relationship between the physical state of the input
and the logical state represented by the present value. If the polarity is
NORMAL, then the ACTIVE state of the present value is also the ACTIVE or
ON state of the physical input. If the polarity is REVERSE, then the ACTIVE
state of the present value is the INACTIVE or OFF state of the physical
Input.
Polarity Present Value Physical State of Input Physical State of Device

NORMAL INACTIVE OFF or INACTIVE not running
NORMAL ACTIVE ON or ACTIVE running
REVERSE INACTIVE ON or ACTIVE not running
REVERSE ACTIVE OFF or INACTIVE running
Select polarity by clicking corresponding radio button.
• EOH/EOV Optimization (applies to AV, BV, and MV datapoints)

Check whether the datapoint should be optimized (Yes) or not (No), in case
the datapoint is used as setpoint for energy optimized heating or ventilation.
• Reset To (applies to PC, BI and BO datapoints only)

Here you can reset the current value to a specific value. The counting will
restart.
• Time of Last Reset (applies to PC, BI and BO datapoints only)
Shows the time of the last reset.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 188

Status (All datapoint types)

Here the status flag condition and the event state are displayed.
If checked, the status flags have the following meaning:
• In Alarm
Datapoint is in alarm. Cause can be faults, Off-normal conditions, and life-
safety alarm.
• Fault
The datapoint or the physical input is not reliable, e.g. in case of sensor
break (Open Loop).
• Overridden
Datapoint is in manual operation mode. Value has been overwritten.
• Out of Service
Physical input is decoupled from the datapoint, e.g. in case of manual
override. The present value displayed is not the present value, which would
be delivered by the physical input.
NOTE: Multiple flag indications are possible.
Example:
A ´To-Fault transition` causes also always an alarm. Hence both, the Ín Alarm`
and the ´Fault` status flags are enabled.
• Event State (All datapoint types)

Shows the event state of the datapoint:
− Normal Operation
− Off-Normal Condition
− Fault
Point is prevented from proper operation. Point value can be in normal or
out of normal range. Due to the maloperation of the point, the value is
unreliable.
Causes for a fault can be, for example sensor and cable breaks.
− Above High Limit
Point value has exceeded the high limit. Special case of the Off-Normal
state of analog inputs and outputs.
− Below Low Limit
Point value has dropped below the low limit. Special case of the Off-
Normal state of analog inputs and outputs.
Change of Value (applies to AI, AO, AV and PC datapoints only)
• Increment
Here you can enter/change the change of value increment (COV).
The COV Increment specifies the minimum change in present value that
causes the controller sending the present value to the Excel Web HTML
189 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709

Interface.
Enter value into the field.
• Period (applies to PC datapoint only)

Defines the amount of time in seconds between the periodic transmissions
of the present value. This property can be used alone or in combination with
the Increment property. When the period property is used in combination
with the increment property, the present value will always be updated
periodically independent on the transmissions of the present value due to
the COV setting.
Runtime Counter (applies to BI and BO datapoints only)

Here you can view the current runtime and reset the runtime counter to a
specific time (e.g. in case of maintenance, change of pump).
To reset the runtime counter, enter the value into the Reset to field and click
the OK button.

View/Change Cycle Time Categories

The cycle time category defines the (target) time in ms after a control loop is
restarted automatically.
Target cycle times are grouped in the following categories with descending priority:
• Very Fast.
• Fast
• Medium
• Slow
In other words, a control loop which has the very fast category assigned, is executed
more often in the same time.
Each control loop is assigned to one of these categories. Any changes done to the
target cycle time will affect all control loops assigned to the corresponding category.
The controller executes multiple control loops simultaneously (multitasking). There is

a dynamic relation between the target cycle time categories as shown in the
following diagram:
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 204

Cycle Time
Category
Very Fast
Cycle Time (400 msec) 100 100 100 100 100
Excecution Time (300 msec)
Slow
Cycle Time (2000 msec) Time (msec)
Excecution Time (500 msec) 500 1000 1500 2000
Cycle Time
Excecution Time
100 msec remaining time in Very Fast category =>

500 msec execution time in Slow category
The diagram illustrates, that the degree of execution of a control loop having a slow
cycle time category assigned, depends on the remaining time (=cycle time minus
execution time) provided by a control loop executed in very fast cycle time.
The target cycle time should not be exceeded during control loop execution. If a
category's execution time is permanently greater than the corresponding target
cycle time, the controller is overloaded and the target cycle time should be changed
by increasing it to higher values than the execution time.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to set the cycle times to values to between 30 % and
50 % higher than the execution times in order to make sure that control
loops having medium and slow cycle times assigned can be executed in
appropriate time.
NOTE: The settings done in the Excel Web HTML interface will be overwritten
after a download with CARE. Hence, upload the application into CARE
using Excel Online after the plant has been setup.
on Cycle Time Categories.
RESULT: On the Cycle Times Categories tab on the right, the following is
displayed:
• Category
The cycle time category defines the time in ms after a control
loop is restarted automatically (values see Target Cycle Time
column).

Target cycle times are grouped in the following categories:
Slow, Medium, Fast, Very Fast.
• Actual Execution Time (ms)

The actual execution time is displayed for comparison in the
Actual Cycle Time column.
2. To change the target cycle time, enter the value for the category in the Target
Cycle Time (in ms) column. Note that the minimum cycle time in ms can only be

Trend Log
a. To start Trending, click the ENABLE LOGGING button (Status:
Enabled=checked).
213 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709

If the trend logging is enabled, the trending starts as soon as the start
date/time is reached and ends at stop date/time. During trending the status is
active as indicated by the checked Active option.
b. To stop Trending, click the DISABLE LOGGING button
(Status: Enabled=unchecked, Active=unchecked).
Start and Stop Date/Time is defined under Trending Start / Stop Date and
Time.
Trend Parameter
Here you can define the time interval in which a parameter should be logged
c. Enter the time in h:m:s in the Log every fields.
NOTE: For the log interval setting, the following guideline should be
considered:
Based on the default log interval for time-based trending (1 minute)

and the max. no. of trend log objects (125), a maximum of 2 trend
records per second can be created:
125/60 = 2 (limiting factor)
For value-based trending, the default log interval should be estimated

roughly by noting the no. of value changes which occurred within an
appropriate time period.
Any calculations should result in a limiting factor of less than 2 (trend

records per second).
Example:
You have a trend setting of 40 trend log objects with 1 trend record per
minute plus 20 trend log objects with 1 trend record per 2 minutes.
The result is an addition of the values as follows:
40/60 + 20/120 = 0.833 => less than 2
Trending Start / Stop Date and Time

Here you can define the time range (start and stop date/time) of the trending.
To define the time range, do the following:

d. Click the Start Date checkbox and enter the start date into the fields or select
e. In the Time fields enter the time
NOTE:
If the checkbox is unchecked, the fields are disabled. This means, that trending
will occur on any date up to and including the end date.
f. Click the Stop Date checkbox and enter the end date into the fields or select
g. In the Time fields enter the time
NOTE:
will occur on any date from the start date on.
NOTE:
If both fields are disabled, trending will occur instantly and all the time.
If clicking the ENABLE LOGGING button enables the trend logging, the trending
starts as soon as the start date/time is reached and ends at stop date/time.
During trending the status is active as indicated as checked Active.
EN2B-0289GE51 R0709 214

Stop of Trending is done by clicking the DISABLE LOGGING button (Status:

Enabled=unchecked, Active=unchecked).
Trend Buffer Settings

Here you can define the trend buffer settings and clear the buffer.
Under Entries in Buffer, the current number of records is displayed.
Under Buffer Size, the max. buffer size can be set (trend logging must be
disabled).
NOTE: The internal flash memory (2 MB) is capable of storing a maximum

of 64,000 trend records distributed among a max. of 125 trend log
objects (all LON properties are saved within one trend log object).
Each trend record allocates 30 bytes of memory. Based upon the
internal flash storage selection, the default value for the max. buffer
size is 2880 records, distributed among 24 trend log objects
according to the calculation:
2 MB / 30 / 2880 = 24
Based on the preceding calculation, external flash cards with

capacities higher than 2 MB enable you to extend the no. of
trend log objects and trend records to be saved.
IMPORTANT
Irrespective of the buffer size (step h) and the storage mode selected
(internal or external flash, step j), it is recommended not to increase
the default buffer size. Increasing the value above 2880 results in
decreased performance when viewing and browsing trend record

When using time-based trending, a datapoint value will be recorded in a defined

log interval, e.g. every 30 seconds. When using value-based trending, a
datapoint value will be recorded if its value has been exceeded by a certain
amount, e.g. 0.1 °C. These values are called trend parameter.
Trend Parameter
b. Enter the trend parameter value.
c. Depending on the trend type, time-based or value-based, enter the settings:
• Time-based
In the Log every field, enter the time interval in h:m:s after which the value
should be logged.
• Value-based
In the Log change greater field, enter the range in excess of which the
223 EN2B-0289GE51 R0709

value should be logged. Each time the value change is greater than the
value defined here, a trend value is logged into the trend buffer.
NOTE: For the log interval setting, the following guideline should be
considered:
Based on the default log interval for time-based trending (1 minute)

and the max. no. of trend log objects (125), a maximum of 2 trend
records per second can be created:
125/60 = 2 (limiting factor)
For value-based trending, the default log interval should be estimated

roughly by noting the no. of value changes which occurred within an
appropriate time period.
Any calculations should result in a limiting factor of less than 2 (trend

records per second).
Example:
You have a trend setting of 40 trend log objects with 1 trend record per
minute plus 20 trend log objects with 1 trend record per 2 minutes.
The result is an addition of the values as follows:
40/60 + 20/120 = 0.833 => less than 2

Parameters
Parameters are used for configuration and tuning of the application program via
control loop. A typical example of a parameter is the Integral Time of the PID control
function.
Parameters are part of a control icon which itself is part of a control loop which itself
is part of a plant, etc. Hence, the parameter can be described and addressed by its
path as follows:
plant – control loop – control macro - control icon – parameter
Example: airconditioning.contloop1.supply_temp.integral time
A parameter is defined by:
• Name
• Value
• Engineering unit/state text
Parameters belong to control icons and define the icon behavior. Control icons will
be interconnected within a control loop that performs a control program. A control
loop itself can also have parameters. Control icons can internally be composed of
other icons (control macro). For example, a XFM is a control macro. Control macros
can have max. 4 internal control icons. It will not be distinguished between
parameters of input and output control icons. Parameters can be written to and read
from the control program. However parameters cannot be prioritized. The
parameters origin (location) will be shown as path with the following structure: plant-
control loop-control icon.
NOTE:
If no parameters are displayed, one of the following may be the reason:
A) You do not have the user rights to read control loops and parameters

AUTOMATIC SAVING OF ONLINE CHANGES

Online changes done via the Excel Web HTML Interface or via the BACnet client
like EBI will be automatically saved every 80 seconds to the non-volatile onboard
Flash memory in the Excel Web controller. The save cycle is not done more often in
order to protect the lifetime of the Flash memory.
Excel Web Controller and Communication Failures

In case of communication failures, the Excel Web controller behaves as follows:
Operating system is stopped

• The watchdog causes a restart of the controller. On the physical controller this is
not visible. In the Excel Web HTML interface this is indicated by the interrupted
browser access.
• EBI indicates Ćontroller Offline`
• If a restart of the controller fails, the watchdog relay blocks. If the binary output is
used as alarm connector, the connected device gives a visual or acoustic alarm.
• EBI indicates Ćontroller Offline`
Voltage drop
• Restart of the controller.
On the physical controller this is not visible.
• EBI indicates Ćontroller Offline`.
Network cable damaged

• Link LED on the controller is OFF (depending on failure).
• EBI indicates Ćontroller Offline` during the time of power failure and controller
restart.
LON bus not accessible, LON cable break, or LON node not available
Identifying LON communication failures must be done in the application, for
example, by using one datapoint of the module that represents the LON module.
The datapoint must be handled as follows:
• General: assign alarm text

• For inputs: activate heartbeat
• For outputs: set acknowledged service
The datapoint alarm created due to the LON failure is displayed in the BACnet alarm
list.
CONTROLLER OVERLOAD INDICATORS

The following behavior indicates an overload of the Excel Web controller:
• Multiple controller restarts due to Web Interface access

• Racl execution times are close to or larger than the cycle time

CONTROLLER BOOT AND WATCHDOG BEHAVIOR

The following describes the controller boot and watchdog behavior.
Reset or Cold Boot
LINUX Reboot
XW System*
BACStack XL WebExe Watchdog
XW System The XW* (Excel Web) System has the following functions:
• Controls available memory, BACstac and XLWebExe threads

• Communicates with CARE (Date/Time and IP settings)
• Triggers watchdog every 10 sec.
If the watchdog is not triggered within 40 sec, a cold boot will happen.
If the second boot trial fails within 40 sec, the following will happen:
• the Watchdog relay opens
• the watchdog LED lights up
• controller will stay in "Reset-lock".
(Now, Power "off/on" or Reset button is necesary)
NOTES:
The watchdog does not "supervise" the application, it "supervises" the Operating
System of the Excel Web controller.
If the controller has no power, the watchdog relay is opened.
Example:
If the application or parts of it are stopped, the watchdog relay will not open, unless
the Operating System is affected.

Modem Trouble Shooting

The Linux Operating System of the Excel Web provides the Standard Linux Modem
Log functionality.
This modem diagnostics log must be switched on via editing a Linux configuration
file via the Linux console, and should only be done by specially trained personnel.
After login into the Linux console of the Excel Web, go to the file
/etc/inittab (::respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty/ ttyS3 -x0 /dev/ttyS3) and set the '-x0' to a

value between 1 and 7.
IMPORTANT
The number after the 'x' defines how detailed the modem log will be.
”0” means Modem log switched off
”1” means very few details
”7” means very many details
The recommended value to start with is '-x4', which will log reasonably detailed
modem diagnostics.
