You can check and modify the assignment of controllers after a
Populate command. You must make adjustments in situations where
the Populate command links multiple controllers to one piece of
equipment, and where the Populate command links multiple pieces of
equipment to one controller.
About this task
To ensure the correct assignment of all controllers, complete the following
steps:
Procedure
-
In the Project Tree View, inspect all controllers to
ensure that you map them or mark them out-of-scope. When you map a controller,
the controller turns green. When you do not map a controller, the controller
turns black, and an out-of-scope controller turns gray. Expand all integrations
on each supervisory device to see the status of each controller.
-
If you do not map a controller or mark it out-of-scope, you can either drag and
drop it to the appropriate Equipment tab to make it
green, or uncheck the box next to it to mark it out-of-scope. Do this for all
controllers that you do not map or mark as out-of-scope, until no controllers
remain.
-
- If the Populate command assigns multiple
controllers to one piece of equipment, for example if one air
handler uses three FEC controllers, use one of the controllers
as the primary controller to create the equipment row, and then
delete any remaining controllers for the air handler. Clear the
check boxes that associate with the controllers that you delete
in the Project View Tree to mark them
out-of-scope. Drag and drop the points from these controllers to
the primary row to complete the process.
- If you define two or more pieces of equipment on one controller,
use the controller to create the first equipment row, and then
copy that equipment row and paste it under the
Equipment tab. To do this,
right-click the equipment row number. Rename the new row
accordingly, and drag and drop the points for the second piece
of equipment on to it.
-
When you can account for all of the controllers in the integration, verify that
the points map correctly to the equipment.
Results
Next, you must review the point cell data to ensure it is correct.
