Appendix B.7. Tridium JACE
This system uses unacknowledged service as default. This protocol driver requires acknowledged service to
operate correctly.
Note that Tridium calls Acknowledged service “critical bindings”.
Appendix B.7.1. Correcting SNVT indexing problem in Tridium Niagara
The procedure below was done in Niagara AX-Workbench Rev 3.4.X. It may not work in prior revs or with R2
because the menus are different.
If after a dynamic device is created and the nv (Network Variable) index of a monitored device does not match the
XIF file of the device being monitored, you can import the XIF by first converting the XIF to an LNML file. There is a
menu item under tools in AX Workbench to do this.
Obtain a copy of the correct XIF file
Choose the option for LON XML conversion under Tools
In the LON XML converter, browse to the XIF file
Choose a working directory for the new LNML file and convert the file
In LON Device manager, double click the device with the problem nv index
In the LNML file select box, browse to the newly created LNML file
Commission the device
Right click on the device, select Actions and then Upload
Compare the nv index with the XIF file index. If the numbers match, data should be correctly displayed after
you delete and re-generate your proxy points
Appendix B.8. Trane Rover
Use Trane Rover Service Pack 4 or later when commissioning the FieldServer. This does not ship from Trane by
default and may have to be requested from the local Trane representative.
When using Pre-Service Pack 4 software, you will be able to see the FieldServer in Rover, but none of the
FieldServer variables will be available for binding even though they are present. Service Pack 4 has been tested to
ensure that the variables show and the bindings work well.
