OVERVIEW

ARENA is a Windows® based software package that provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to monitor and operate HVAC applications applying LonWorks technology.

A typical application is, for example:

• A Commercial building using plant controllers for primary plant control such as air handling units, heating circuits or boilers

In ARENA, such a running application is also called “Site”.

Via a LON interface, ARENA provides full access to:

• Plant controller data (datapoints, time programs, alarms, application parameters)

Some of the many features available are listed below:

• Monitoring and access of HVAC system (district heating, heating and ventilation plants)

• Viewing temperatures and valve positions

• Enhanced alarming with history files, reports and statistics

• Alarm servicing facilities such as

– alarm notifications from remote controllers and/or remote ARENAs – alarm routing to different destinations (email, printer, other ARENAs)

based on time of day and criticality

• Providing global time programs for individual overrides with displaying three months intervals

– Schedule Input similar to Microsoft Scheduler

• Multi-Site Management with:

– Support of connections from a supervisor ARENA to remote sites, where

those remote sites do not require an ARENA installation – Direct connection to up to 4 local sites with up to 4 LON interfaces – Remote sites management with iLON 10 – Remote ARENAs with local site(s) management – Remote ARENAs with iLON 10 sites management – Operation depending on individual privilege – Maximum of 100 sites can be managed – Alarming depending on source, condition and target information, alarm

filtering – Manual Alarm Clearence – Trending depending on device, plant and segment

• Log data from your HVAC systems

• Complete Backup and Restore Functions

• Improved Graphic Editor for life graphic with animated pictures and direct

operating links

ARENA is designed to be used on a standard PC. The primary purpose of the ARENA program, is to gather a wide variety of data and display it to the user in an easy to understand graphical format for viewing and easy operation.

Should a device be in alarm condition, the ARENA user has only to select the device in question, to be taken to a screen which will provide more detailed information on the alarm condition. An Alarm list screen is also available. This screen lists all alarm incidents and enables the ARENA user to identify, in detail, each controller that activated an alarm signal. The list also contains the reason for the alarm signal, the date and time that the alarm condition occured and also the date and time that the alarm condition was accepted (acknowledged).

Historical data is available from each device, and can be displayed in either text or graphical format. An example for this is the 24-hour temperature log which provides detailed information of controller data. This provides documentary evidence that buildings have been maintained at the correct temperature, and that the BMS system is running economically. The fact that ARENA stores historical data means that it is possible to analyze the reasons for alarm conditions over a period of a day, a week or a month.

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 8

ARENA also offers multi-level password protection to restrict access of unauthorized users.

All adjustments to system operating parameters are logged by ARENA, together with users identification. This access restriction provides a very high degree of system protection against accidental or malicious damage.

ARENA can be equipped with individual graphic data and will be able to display selected information in a graphical environment. The tool to be used to create graphic templates and graphic navigations is the ARENA EDITOR.

Site

Provides site management functions such as creating, editing and deleting sites.

User

Provides the user administration for creating, editing, and deleting users.

Alarming

Provides alarm forwarding functions.

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 30

Password

Allows the user to change its own password.

Trending

Provides basic pre-setting functions for executing trends.

NOTE: To exit the configuration menu, click the Home button

USER ADMINISTRATION

The user administration is used for creating users and assigning particular user

privileges (roles) to the users. Administration also includes editing and deleting of users.

Roles and Privileges A role determines the privileges that the user will have when working with ARENA. A role with its determining privileges is pre-defined and cannot be changed. User

privileges of a certain user can be changed by assigning another role. In ARENA, the following role – user privileges combinations are assignable to users:

Role User Privileges

Manager Service privileges plus:

Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles.

Service Keeper privileges plus:

Changes of datapoint attribute, parameters, network variables and time programs. Adjustments for installation and scanning. Alarm acknowledgement. Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles

Keeper Viewer privileges plus:

Time program changes (incl. setpoints). Alarm acknowledgement. Creation, edition and deletion of users with lower roles

Viewer Viewing statistics and reports generation.

As the table shows, the predefined roles are arranged hierarchically and the sequence with descending priority is as follows:

• Manager

• Service

• Keeper

• Viewer

Example:

When assigning the ´Service` role to a user, a user having a role below ´Service`, for example ´Keeper`, is not able to change datapoint attributes. A user having a role equal to or higher than ´Service`, for example ´Manager` is able to change datapoint attributes.

The table shows, that the logged user can create, modify and delete users with a role lower than its own.

User Profile For each user within a project, a user profile with the following properties will be

created:

• User name

• Role (User privilege)

• Password

• Access Restrictions (definable per site local or remote)

A user is identified by its user name.

One of the predefined roles will be appropriately assigned to the user (name). This assignment automatically determines the user privileges, which the user are allowed to execute in the ARENA he is logged in. All users having a role higher than or equal to the assigned role will have this user privilege enabled in ARENA, all others will not.

USER GUIDE ARENA/ RANGER

31 EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708

In addition, a password for each user must be issued for secure operation of ARENA.

Finally, for comfortable remote operation, a user can have an Auto-Logon property assigned that allows logging into the remote site without entering Login name and password again.

Login, Information Access and Password Handling When entering a site, you must login with user name and password. After logged in,

you will see all information that you have access to, based on your role. When you click on items that are unavailable due to your role (e.g. when a service user selects configuration), you are asked for logging in again.

NOTE: Usually, ARENA will not display items/functions that are not available for

the current user role. However, in graphics there may be links that require a higher user level (in this case, a login is forced). Also, a login is forced when you enter a direct link to a page in the browser:

You have not to login again, even when going to another site (e.g. to an ARENA

remote site), as long as on that site a user with the same user name and password exists.

You can change your own password without invoking the User Administration.

IMPORTANT

It is strongly recommended to delete default users or change the default password of each role since the password reads the same as the corresponding role.

Invoke User Administration

1. In the tree, select the site, on which you want to administer users, for example to create new users.

NOTE: The user administration can only be invoked from users having

privilege level ´service` or higher.

2. Hover the cursor over the Configuration menu icon

and click User in the

configuration menu.

RESULT: The Users List is displayed. Each user is displayed by name, role,

and access type. An empty cell in the Access to column means that the listed user has access restrictions which can be seen when clicking on the Edit button. By default, every default user has no access restrictions as indicated by an asterisk.

You can create new users and edit and delete users.

SITE MANAGEMENT

Local Site Support ARENA supports the connection to up to 4 local sites. Remote Site Support ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 or through

another remote ARENA. That ARENA is called Supervisor ARENA.

Ranger supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10 only.

iLON 10 Sites via LAN ARENA supports remote sites, which are connected through iLON 10. Only one

ARENA can be connected at the same time to one iLON 10.

If a connection between an ARENA and an iLON is established, a second ARENA cannot connect to the iLON 10. This is indicated by a message.

ARENA / ARENA via Mo d em

Connection is only possible if an incoming connection is defined beforehand

manually in Windows.

Example:

ARENA A -> ARENA B connection via modem On ARENA A, configure a remote ARENA B. On ARENA B do nothing.

Expectation is that the user does not need to configure on Arena B explicitly an

incoming connection.

Connection Types Arena can establish a remote connection either via modem dialing or LAN

connection. ARENA differentiates between these two connection types. Depending on the infrastructure, ARENA supports opened connections in parallel.

• Modem connection

After ARENA restart, ARENA will not automatically establish a connection to a remote site.

• LAN connection

After ARENA restart, ARENA will automatically establish a connection to all reachable remote sites

CAUTION

Two ARENAs are only allowed to be connected via one connection type, LAN or modem. That is, it is not allowed to connect two ARENAs to each other in multiple ways, for example, via LAN and modem.

ARENA 1

ARENA 2

ARENA 3

Modem

Connect Sites You can manually connect to a site. The manual connection can be established via

right-click on the site in the site tree.

Disconnect Sites You can manually disconnect ARENA from a local or remote site and disconnect all

local or remote connections.

Automatic Disconnection of Modem Sites ARENA supports an automatic disconnect mechanism for sites connect via modem:

After a definable time, ARENA pops up a dialog that asks you if you want to remain

connected. You can decide whether to “remain connected for another X minutes” or to disconnect. X is the predefined connection time, which is changeable in the popup dialog. If you do not react for a defined reaction time (e.g. 60 s), the

Not supported in ARENA 2.0

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

connection is automatically terminated. Automatic disconnection prevents “forgetting to close a connection”. It is used for modem connections only.

NOTE: If a remote site is disconnected, the supervisor ARENA has a time out of

up to 2 minutes before the tree gets refreshed to indicate offline state.

Site Combinations The max. of 100 sites can be arranged in one supervisor ARENA system. In the

following several major site combinations are described briefly:

Switching between Sites You can switch between sites using the site tree presenting all configured sites.

You can switch to a remote site either with or without connecting to the site (Offline).

When connecting to a site without physically connecting to it, only historical trend

and alarm data will be available. This means that a supervisor ARENA will be able to store alarms and trend from other sites. When switching to a local site, you will be automatically connected.

System Limitation One ARENA per local plus one iLON 10

At the same time, only one ARENA can access an iLON 10 (no parallel access possible).

Remote Site with ARENA

ARENA, that is, an ARENA that resides on a remote site, allows incoming connections either via modem dial-in or via any other TCP/IP connection supported

ARENA-ARENA connection via Modem not supported in ARENA 2.0

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 40

by Windows. Setting up a remote access connection is done via the Windows Creating New Network Connection procedure.

Remote ARENA via serial modem* For modem dial-up the Westermo TD33 is supported. The modem connection is

only supported for dial into a remote iLON 10.

CAUTION

Do not switch off or disconnect a modem when operating a modem-connected site. This causes a malfunction and as a result the need to reboot the PC.

TIP: Connect PC and modem to the same power supply. In case of a general power failure, PC and modem will be restarted simultaneously.

User Authentication and Access on Remote ARENA The user is identified by its user name and password. According to the users´ role,

the user can have defined access to particular functions (viewing, editing, etc.).

Connection to Remote ARENA

through Stand-alone Browser or Supervisor ARENA A connection to a remote ARENA is possible:

• through a browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

• through another ARENA, i.e. Supervisor ARENA

A supervisor ARENA can connect to remote ARENAs via

• TCP/IP

• ARENA-ARENA Dial-up*

• VPN

Display remote ARENA within Supervisor ARENA When connecting from a Supervisor ARENA, the Supervisor ARENA shows the

Web-front end of the remote ARENA in the same way as if it was locally connected. The site name is displayed on top of each page, so that you know on which site you are currently working.

Remote Site Configuration via Browser Remote sites can be configured in the same way as local sites, that is, e.g. it is

possible to:

• Change trend settings

• Import description files

For detailed information on Internet Explorer settings when using ARENA as client, please refer to “How to operate ARENA / RANGER from a Client PC” in the ARENA / IRANGER Installation Guide, EN1Z906GE51.

Concurrency of Connections A remote ARENA can send out an alarm while a supervisor ARENA has dialed in.

This requires the connection of 2 modems.

Trigger a remote connection to

Supervisor ARENA A remote ARENA is able to trigger a connection via LAN to a Supervisor ARENEA in

order to send out an alarm.

Timeout after Disconnection If the remote site of an ARENA-ARENA via LAN site combination is disconnected,

the supervisor ARENA has a time out of up to 2 minutes before the tree gets refreshed to indicate offline state.

Remote Site with iLON 10

Remote sites with iLON 10 allow incoming connections for a Supervisor ARENA. Connection through a stand-alone browser is not possible.

User Authentication and Access on Remote Site The user is identified by its user name and password for the modem or LAN

connection.

Initial Setup of the Remote Site’s Communication Settings The configuration of the ILON 10 needs to be done via the Supervisor ARENA. In

order to save the iLON 10 configuration in ARENA it is necessary to be connected to it.It is sufficient to do one of the following:

• send the initial setup to the remote site upon the first dial-in or via a web browser interface which is accessible on the Supervisor ARENA

• configure the iLON 10 gateway device in the office prior to installation using a software tool

Remote Site Display Connecting the Supervisor ARENA via iLON 10 shows the Web front-end of the

remote site in the same way as if the ARENA is locally connected. The site name is displayed on top of each page, so that you know on which site you are currently working.

Dial out from a remote site via iLON 10 to a Central Supervisor ARENA The remote site dials out to a Supervisor ARENA in one of the following events:

• a critical alarm has occurred

• a uncritical alarm has occurred

• a new critical alarm has occurred before elapsed lockout time

After a dial-out, a lockout time elapses (24 h) to prevent high telephone costs through frequent dial-outs. New dial-outs can only occur after the lockout time has expired, except if a new critical alarm has occurred.

For each event, the logout time is reset. The lockout-time is synchronized between controllers.

Dialing iLON 10 Destinations iLON 10 only dials-out to one Central Supervisor ARENA Alarm Forwarding The supervisor ARENA provides an option to forward alarms to different

destinations at different times. Configuration for alarm forwarding, see the “Alarm Forwarding” section.

Supervisor ARENA

Monitoring Remote Sites Authentication of remote sites on supervisor ARENA When remote sites dial out to a supervisor station, they must provide user name and

password. Connection is only successful if the remote site can be authenticated by the supervisor ARENA. This is secured for dial out of an ARENA or iLON 10.

Handling of incoming Calls by the Supervisor PC The supervisor station accepts incoming connections from at least one remote site

in parallel to the locally connected sites and in parallel to an established dial-in connection to a remote plant. This means that at least 2 modems can be connected. This secures, that even if a remote site is dialed-up or connected by LAN, the Supervisor station is still able to receive alarms from other sites.

NOTE: Only Microsoft XP limits the number of installed modems.

Access to trend / alarm buffer information When monitoring remote sites, trend and alarm buffer information can be accessed

by all users. For remote sites with iLON 10 the following information can be accessed:

• Alarm buffer

• Trending can be done only while online (life trend)

Trend data upload from sites of a remote ARENA Trend data stored on the remote site can be uploaded and merged into the

Supervisor ARENA’s trend database for remote sites with ARENA. Upload occurs

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 42

when trend data are requested for display from the remote site and this data is not already available in the Supervisor ARENA’s trend database.

Alarm data upload from sites of a remote ARENA Alarm data stored on the remote site is unloadable and can be merged into the

Supervisor ARENA’s alarm database upon any user request (manual upload).

Timeout after Disconnection If the remote site of an ARENA-ARENA via LAN site combination is disconnected,

the supervisor ARENA has a time out of up to 2 minutes before the tree gets refreshed to indicate offline state.

5. Under Outgoing Connection to Remote Site do the following: a. Check Enable if you want to use ARENA for dialing-in to a remote site. b. Uncheck Enable if ARENA is only used for receiving alarms.

Example: If you have a scenario where one ARENA runs in the office to receive alarms

while another ARENA runs on your notebook which you use only for dialingin, choose the following setup: Uncheck Enable in the ARENA running in the office, because this is the one used as alarm recipient. Check Enable in the ARENA, running on your notebook, because this is the one used only for dialing-in to the remote site. iLON 10 and incoming connection settings will become read-only in this case.

NOTES:

– Only one ARENA can be connected to an iLON 10 on the same site. – You must configure the iLON 10 in the ARENA that is used as alarm

recipient.

– When restarting the ARENA Service (see “ARENA Application” section),

all iLON 10 will be automatically connected, independent of the Enable setting.

c. Select Static IP if the connection is established using static IP addressing. d. Select URL (Use this if iLON 10 is configured for DHCP) if dynamic IP

addressing is used by the iLON 10.

e. If Static IP has been selected, enter the IP address in Remote Site URL or

IP Address, the subnet mask in Subnet Mask and the gateway address in Gateway Address. Make sure that this is a valid IP address which can be

reached from the supervisor ARENA. The default IP address is

192.168.1.222. If you do not know which IP address to use, contact the I.T. administrator of the remote site (see also Incoming Connection from Remote Site settings). The subnet mask is used to define the subnet in which the iLON 10 resides. In the iLON 10 configuration (section "General"), this setting will be stored as subnet mask. The gateway address is the IP address of the gateway which iLON 10 uses to contact the supervisor ARENA. Used in LAN scenarios to resolve addressing if iLON 10 and the supervisor PC are in different subnets. Contact the I.T. administrator to get the gateway’s IP address.

f. If URL (Use this if iLON 10 is configured for DHCP) has been selected,

enter the URL or the IP address in Remote Site URL or IP Address.

6. Under Incoming Connection from Remote Site, do the following:

USER GUIDE ARENA/ RANGER

49 EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708

a. Check Enable if you want the supervisor ARENA enable to receive alarms

via the iLON 10 on the remote site.

b. Uncheck Enable if you not want the supervisor ARENA to receive alarms.

Checking Enable is necessary if you want to customize the iLON 10 by overwriting the default configuration with the settings entered in Outgoing connection to Remote Site. Unchecking Enable is recommended if you want to view the site without the necessity of changing the iLON 10 configuration.

7. Under iLon 10 Settings, you can configure the iLON 10 by doing one of the

following:

a. In User Name enter the user name which the iLON 10 uses to allow HTTP

ALARMS

Overview

Multi Site Alarming Support On a supervisor ARENA, alarms can be collected centrally from all sites. Manual Alarm Clearing The user can “artificially” create a going alarm for a selected coming alarm. If the

user knows for sure that an alarm is gone, he can clear it.

Determine Alarm Reason You can navigate directly to the alarm source. Link to the Alarm Destination Support of different dialling destinations

It is sufficient that a remote site without ARENA dials to one destination central, a

so-called “relay central”.

Support of alarm routing for application and system alarms (=point alarms)

The remote site routes system alarms and application alarms to different destinations. The selection of application alarms is done based on the datapoint name (=user address). This feature is supported indirectly through a relay ARENA using the alarm forwarding feature of ARENA. This means: A remote site always dials out to the same ARENA, regardless of the alarm cause. This ARENA acts as relay for further alarm segregation.

Alarm Display Alarms can be seen on any level (Site, System, Plant, etc.). Depending on the level,

the alarm list display differs in the number and kind of columns (alarm properties). Depending on the selected level, an alarm can feature at maximum the following properties displayed as columns in the list:

USER GUIDE ARENA/ RANGER

73 EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708

• Site

Site name where the controller is located that has raised the alarm. Comes from the controller file (Panther / Tiger Controller)

• Device

Controller name

• Alarm Reason

Shows the alarm reason, for example, ´min alarm`

• Time stamp

Time when the alarm was raised

• Cleared at

Timestamp when the alarm reason went away, for example, last 24 hours. In the global alarm list, this is shown as grayed checkbox. If the alarm is cleared, the checkbox is checked, otherwise unchecked. The timestamp is also displayed in the details.

• Cleared

Shows whether the alarm is cleared (Yes) or not (No)

• Acknowledged at

Timestamp of user acknowledgement, for example, last hour. In the global alarm list, this is shown as grayed checkbox. If the alarm is acknowledged, the checkbox is checked, otherwise unchecked. The timestamp of the acknowledgement is also displayed in the details.

• Acknowledged by

User that acknowledged the alarm. In the details, the user names or email addresses of the users who have acknowledged the alarm, are displayed. If an acknowledgement has been received by email, this field shows the sender’s

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 74

Email address.

• Acknowledged by station ARENA that acknowledged the alarm

• Item Name Alarm source (datapoint) that has caused the alarm.

– Shows ´System` when the alarm is a system alarm – Shows the datapoint name for point alarms

• Item Value: value/status of the datapoint when the alarm has occurred.

– Shows N/A when the alarm is a system alarm that does not provide an

item value.

– Shows the value and engineering unit of the datapoint when the alarm

was raised for analog points

– Show the status text of the datapoint when the alarm was raised for

digital points

• Alarm severity Critical or Uncritical. For system alarms, this is always ´critical`

• Alarm class System or Application (for point related alarms)

• Datapoint Datapoint that caused the alarm

• Acknowledged

• Shows whether the alarm is acknowledged (Yes) or not (No)

• Alarm Direction

Shows whether the alarm was coming (occurred) or going (cleared).

• Plant Name of plant where the alarm occurred.

• Segment Name of segment where the alarm occurred.

• Station Name of station where the alarm occurred.

• System Name of system where the alarm occurred.

Alarm Indication in Tree Any new alarm, regardless from which site it comes, is indicated by a red triangle at

the tree item (site, controller, plant) that causes the alarm.

In the global alarm list, alarms can be:

• filtered

• printed

• deleted

• acknowledged

• uploaded

Alarm List Views Alarms can be displayed in 2 different ways:

• Detailled View Coming and going alarms are displayed separately and can be acknowledged individually. The content of the list and the sort order of the list content can be configured.

• Summary View Coming and going alarms are displayed in one line. An alarm is regarded as ackno

wledged, if both, coming and going alarm, have been acknowledged. If an alarm is acknowledged, both alarms (coming and going) are acknowledged. The sort order of the list content can be configured.

USER GUIDE ARENA/ RANGER

75 EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708

NOTE: Both views can be configured separately.

Alarm Handling When the controller is connected to ARENA, alarms are received automatically as

soon as ARENA is installed or the remote site has been configured correctly using ARENA's site configuration.

NOTES: Dial-up sites will automatically connect to the supervisor PC in case of a

critical alarm. Alarms from LAN sites can only be received if the LAN site is connected explicitly. Make sure you connect to a LAN site once it has been successfully created. After exiting and restarting ARENA, previously connected LAN sites will be automatically reconnected.

The PANTHER / TIGER controller will always send out critical alarms as

soon as they occur. After alarms have been sent, a "blocking time" of 24 hours becomes active for uncritical alarms. During the blocking time, no uncritical alarms are sent out. However, if there’s a danger of losing alarms (because the controller’s alarm buffer is 80 % full), the uncritical alarm will be sent. Also, if a connection is established during the blocking time (e.g. as a result of a critical alarm), the pending uncritical alarms are sent.

PANTHER / TIGER controllers try to send a critical alarm to ARENA

directly after it occurred. If ARENA does not respond, the controller repeats the connection attempt each 5 minutes for ½ hour. After that, it repeats the attempt to reach ARENA each 4 hours, for 3 days. If ARENA does not respond for 3 days, the controller stops its attempt to reach ARENA. It will restart the attempt only after ARENA successfully dials into the site.

Acknowledging Alarms ARENA allows the operator to document that he has seen an alarm. This is called

“acknowledgement”. Acknowledgements can be made by Email (responding to a forwarded Email), or manually. The person who has made the acknowledgement is stored with the alarm and displayed in the alarm history. In case of Email acknowledgements, the sender’s Email address is an indication for the person who has made the acknowledgement.

To acknowledge an alarm that has been forwarded by Email, just reply to the alarm Email (i.e. send it back to ARENA). ARENA will receive the Email via POP3, and will show the replier´s Email address in the acknowledged by field. If an acknowledgement has successfully been processed by ARENA, it will be deleted from the mailbox.

To acknowledge alarms manually, click the alarm(s) in the alarm list and click the Acknowledge button on the Global Alarm List pane.

ALARM FORWARDING

Alarm forwarding is possible to printers, eMail or mobile phone (via eMail), or service ARENAs. Alarm segregation allows forwarding alarms to different destinations based on definable criteria such as:

• Trigger (information of the alarm itself), such as: Critical / Non-Critical, site on

which the alarm occurred, datapoint names, e.g. all points that start with “Heat”, and many more.

• Day of week

• Time of day

Example: A local authority supervises schools and kindergartens using an ARENA 2.0 in the town hall. Usually, a supervisor employed by the city handles alarms from all connected sites. However, if the supervisor does not acknowledge alarms within 30 minutes, they are being forwarded to external maintenance facilities according to the following rules:

• Only critical alarms are forwarded.

• All school alarms go to dedicated service centrals for schools. Based on

weekday and time, different service centrals are used as destination. In the picture, this forwarding path is represented by gray arrows. In this example, 2 destination centrals are available for schools: one Mo-Fr, 08:00-18:00 and the other for the rest of the week.

• All kindergarten alarms go to dedicated service centrals for kindergartens. Based

on weekday and time, different service centrals are used as destination. In the picture, this forwarding path is represented by black arrows. In this example, 2 destination centrals are available for kindergartens: one Mo-Fr, 07:00-17:00 and the other for the rest of the week.

• If a forwarded alarm is not acknowledged by the user for longer than 10 minutes

on any of the service centrals, it will be sent to mobile phones via eMail. Different target phones can be contacted based on the time / day.

Create Alarm Forwarding

An alarm forwarding will be created with the following major steps:

1. Create Destination (see “Create Destination” section)

a. Define destination for sending and receiving alarms b. Define alarm message c. Define acknowledgement message d. Define ´Advanced` options

2. Create Trigger (see “Create Trigger” section)

a. Define Condition that initiates the alarm forwarding

3. Create Forwarding (see “Create Forwarding” section)

a. Define schedule for the alarm forwarding

NOTE: You must create a destination and a trigger before you can create the

alarm forwarding. By default, the triggers ´All critical alarms` and ´All uncritical alarms` are already available.

Create Destination

1. Hover the cursor over the Configuration menu icon and click Alarming

in the configuration menu. The Forwarding pane displays. On the Forwarding tab, the forwardings are

shown in a Forwarding List. A Forwarding consists of one or multiple Destinations where the forwarding is directed to and a Trigger which defines the events after which the forwarding is started, for example, after a critical alarm has occurred, or when an alarm has not been acknowledged within a certain time range. The forwarding can be enabled for a definable number of days (Mon, Tue, through Sun) with a time Buffer (delayed or not delayed) and many more criteria such as lifetime and update intervals, etc. A forwarding can also be disabled if you do not want to forward alarms to given destinations.

2. Select the Forwarding tab and click Create new Destination button, or select the Destination tab and click Create Destination button. The Details Destination dialog box displays. Here you choose the destination (Email, Arena, or printer) and enter corresponding properties. Then you can test the destination and must save it.

check this by selecting Connect to / Show all connections from the Windows Start menu. Then open the properties of the connection.

Sending Alarms (SMTP)

NOTES:

– The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is preferentially used for

sending/forwarding emails.

– To get information about the SMTP settings, go to the web site of the

local ISP, invoke the Help function and search for the required information. The search and location where the information can be found, may differ from ISP to ISP. If no information can be found in the Help, contact the ISP directly.

a. In Server Name or IP, enter the address of the SMTP server (name or IP

address) you want to use to forward alarms e.g. “smtp.web.de”.

b. In Port, you must change the port used to send/forward emails via SMTP if

your ISP uses another port than the default port 25. Change it accordingly, if necessary.

NOTE: It may happen, that an anti-virus software may block the port 25 which is necessary for sending emails. In this case, you must change the configuration settings of the anti-virus software in order to allow ARENA forwarding alarms (see Anti-Virus Software Tools and Ports in the ”Security” chapter of the ARENA / RANGER Installation Guide, EN1Z0906GE51).

c. Check Server requires authentication and enter User and Password, if

the Email-Server requires authentication.

d. Uncheck Server requires authentication if the Email-Server does not

require authentication e. Required Authentication protects mailboxes by user name and password. f. Check SSL, if the SMTP server uses the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

standard for the data transmission.

Receiving Responses (POP3)

POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is a client/server protocol for the communication between an email program on an individual user PC and a mail server in the internet hosting the mailbox of the user by an ISP (internet service provider). Via POP3, emails will be sent from ISP mailbox to the user PC.

NOTE: To get information about the POP3 settings, go to the web site of the local ISP, invoke the Help function and search for the required information. The search and location where the information can be found may differ from ISP to ISP. If no information can be found in the Help, contact the ISP directly.

ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE

EN2Z-0906GE51 R0708 84

a. In Server Name or IP, enter the address of the POP3 server (name or IP

address) you want to use to receive emails, e.g. pop3.web.de”.

b. In Port, you must change the port used to receive emails via POP3 if your

ISP uses another port than the default port 110. Change it accordingly, if necessary.

NOTE: It may happen, that an anti-virus software may block the port 110 which is necessary for receiving emails. In this case, you must change the configuration settings xof the anti-virus software in order to allow ARENA forwarding alarms (see Anti-Virus Software Tools and Ports in the ”Security” chapter of the ARENA / RANGER Installation Guide, EN1Z0906GE51).

c. Check Server requires authentication and enter User and Password, if

the Email-Server requires authentication.

d. Uncheck Server requires authentication if the Email-Server does not

require authentication. e. Required Authentication protects mailboxes by user name and password. f. Check Use same as for sending if user name and password is the same as

for sending emails via SMTP server. g. Check SSL, if the SMTP server uses the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

standard for the data transmission.

ATTENTION!

Each installation of ARENA requires its own mailbox, when it is used for

forwarding alarms. Ideally, you give the mailbox a name that allows you to

determine which ARENA sent the alarm to you. The mailbox must usually

reside on the POP3 server.

5. Select the Alarm Message tab.

Alarm Message Tab

Here you define the alarm text you want to be sent via email. The alarm text will be composed by entering free text and combining this text with various predefined text components (placeholders).

NOTE: In order to avoid spamming, some Email providers restrict sending e-

mails in short intervals. This time interval can be, for example, up to 15 minutes. This restricting interval may result in the loss of sent alarm emails. Please check if your Email provider demands on such restrictions. It is recommended to choose an Email provider that has such restrictions. Otherwise alarm emails may not reach the recipient. These restrictions also pertain to alarm showers.

10. Continue with creating the trigger conditions as described in the “Create Trigger” section.

Printer Destination Type

When using a printer as destination, the following printer categories can be used:

• Local printers

– Driver must be installed – Test page can be printed

• Network printers

– Driver must be installed – Test page can be printed – Access without password input is possible

NOTE: For sending a FAX message, a FAX driver such as FAX machine can be

installed.

11. If Printer has been selected as destination, do the following on the General tab:

General Tab Destination

a. In Printer, select one of the installed printers. b. In Destination Name, enter descriptive text for the destination printer. c. In Printertype, select type, page (laser) or line printer (matrix). On page

printers, ARENA calculates how many alarms fit on one page. Only if the page is full, the alarms are printed. This is done to avoid waste of paper which would occur if each alarm were to be printed on an individual page. On line printers (which are typically used as protocol printers) the alarm is printed immediately. Typically, continuous paper is used for this purpose.

TTime Programs

Overview Time programs are for setting time sequences for controller operation. For example,

setting HVAC start and stop times.

Time programs implement these command schedules. A PANTHER / TIGER

controller can have a maximum of 20 time programs.

Each time program specifies a list of points to command and a weekly schedule.

This weekly schedule defines the normal daily activity of the system by specifying which daily schedule a controller should use for each day of the week (Sunday through Saturday). The weekly schedule applies for each week of the year. There is only one weekly schedule per time program.

Daily schedules list points and point actions and times for the controller to

implement. Operators assign daily schedules to weekly schedules or as global override to provide for automatic operations on scheduled dates.

Yearly schedules define time periods with special daily schedules (global). Yearly

schedules are suited to consider specific local conditions, for example, regional vacation and public /religious festivals.

Example:

PANTHER 1 Heating Circuit 1

Point Assignments

HG1 tsp DHW1 tsp DHW1 occ

Weekly Schedule Daily Schedule Name

Monday Workday Tuesday Workday Wednesday Workday Thursday Workday Friday Workday

Saturday Weekend Sunday Weekend

Where the Workday daily schedule includes the following items (time,

datapoint name, command):

06:00 HG1 tsp 20 °C 18:00 HG1 tsp 15 °C

And the Weekend daily schedule includes the following items (time, user

address, command):

12:01 HG1 tsp 20 °C 23:59 HG1 tsp 15 °C

Global Time Programs Global time programs are individual daily time schedules which allow the

simultaneous override of multiple time schedules (room controls) in a definable monthly-based time range. A time schedule to be overridden can be any of the following default schedules of the standard weekly time schedule:

• Workday

• Weekend

• Day A

• Day B

• Day C

• Global

• User-defined daily schedule

Setting Global Time Programs The global time program consists of ´Global` daily schedules which can be set in the

same way than any other daily schedule (workday, weekend). An individual global daily schedule can be set for any time program type, for example, room control 1..10 or Heating Circ. 1. etc. Each global daily schedule is simply named "Global".
