Introduction
1. Introduction
Scalibur is a powerful modular controller for Niagara and Sedona. Scalibur stands
for scalability, a major characteristic of this controller. Scalability comprises several
aspects:
1) Scalable IO
A Scalibur station consists of the Scalibur controller and up to 63 terminals of the
modular Inline system. The terminals are available in a wide variety of types:
digital and analog inputs and outputs with different numbers of channels as well
as functional terminals for DALI light control, pulse metering, MBUS or serial
interfaces.
2) Scalable software
Scalibur has been developed primarily for the Niagara framework. Niagara
applications are built with the software tool Niagara Workbench. While Niagara
is very powerful, it is not very well suited for specific real-time applications. In
order to realize such applications with Scalibur too, the controller has the
Sedona framework in parallel to Niagara. Sedona applications run with fixed
cycle times in the millisecond range and are created with the
Niagara Workbench. Beside the separate exclusive use of either framework, the
parallel use of Niagara and Sedona is supported. The Niagara and Sedona
application can communicate to each other with a Sedona driver for Niagara.
3) Scalable licensing
The license model for Scalibur is very flexible: a license comprises a certain
number of data points which can be integrated with Scalibur. These license
packs are available as first-time license (250/500/1250/5000/10000 data points)
or as upgrade license (500/1250/2500 data points). Sedona, as open source
project, doesn’t have any license fees.
4) Scalable IP network
Scalibur contains two logically separated IP interfaces and an integrated
Ethernet switch with four external ports. The configurable assignment of the
Ethernet ports to the separate IP interfaces and the usage of the spanning-treeprotocol allow flexible topologies like daisy-chain and redundant ring-structures
for both the backbone and the local control network.

2.1 Hardware
2.1.1 Functional Overview
Device and System Overview
Fig. 2.1.1.1: SCA-340-L basic circuit diagram
2.1.2 Processor Core
Processor: ARM® Cortex® A8 / 1 GHz
DDR3 SDRAM: 1 GB RAM (512 MiB for hardware version < 06 – see serial label)
eMMC Flash: 1,8 GB
NVRAM: 512 KiB / (buffered for a power failure of 5 days)
RTC: buffered for a power failure of 5 days
The internal Flash memory can be extended with a microSD card.
2.1.3 Ethernet
The integrated Ethernet switch has 4 external ports, which can be assigned
independently to one of the two separate IP interfaces. If at least two ports belong to
an IP interface, then redundant communication paths can be established, for
example by connecting several devices in a ring. The Ethernet switch supports the
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), as well as a ring monitoring function to
automatically switch off redundant paths, and a broadcast storm protection function.
Factory default: eth0 is assigned to LAN3/LAN4, eth1 is assigned to LAN1/LAN2,
and RSTP and ring monitoring are deactivated.

Device and System Overview
2.1.4 Serial Ports
Both RS-485 ports have switches for bias and terminating resistors, and are
galvanically isolated from each other and the rest of the circuit.
Further serial interfaces may be added using modular IO terminals (M-Bus, RS-232,
RS-485, RS-422).
2.1.5 USB
USB 1 is a USB-OTG port with Mini-USB socket, and is used for installation and
maintenance. Connected to a PC, it allows to control the device via console and to
access the internal installation web site for device configuration and data point test.
The second USB port (USB 2) allows to connect USB end-devices.
2.1.6 LON
The SCA-340-L has a LON interface according to the CEA-709 standard, to connect
directly to LonMark TP/FT-10 networks.
2.1.7 Inline Local Bus Interface / Modular IO Terminals
The local bus interface allows to connect up to 63 modular IO terminals. This
interface comprises the communication channel to the IO terminals as well as the
power supply of these terminals and their connected sensors and actuators.
Scalibur is a controller for the Inline IO system and unlocks the rich pool of Inline IO
terminals for building automation.
Inline is a modular IO system by Phoenix Contact, to flexibly and quickly build up
space-saving automation stations. An Inline station consists of a bus controller and
a set of IO terminals, chosen freely in terms of numbers, type, and sequential
arrangement. The bus controller runs the Inline station and has interfaces to the
higher level controller. Up to 63 IO terminals can be connected to a bus controller.
There are IO terminals for almost any purpose:
digital inputs and outputs with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 channels per terminal
Triac and relay outputs for switching signals or for higher loads
analog inputs for measuring voltage, current, resistance, or temperature
with 2, 4, or 8 channels per terminal
analog outputs for voltage or current with 2, 4, or 8 channels per terminal
function terminals for complex IO operations or gateway functions (DALI,
M-Bus, S0 pulse metering, serial interface)
supply and support terminals , e.g. to realize separated voltage domains
within an Inline station
The overall width of the Inline extension terminals is 1, 2 or 4 DU (1 DU, division
unit = 12.2 mm or approx. 0.48 in.).
Inline terminals are provided with a pluggable wiring level enabling pre-wiring and
easy module exchange.
The mechanics of the system also allows exchanging terminals without complete
dismantling of the station.
Scalibur determines type and function of all supported terminals automatically, thus
certain in- and output functions can also be created without a previous configuration
of the station, which is especially helpful for commissioning tests.

2.2 Software Overview
Scalibur is using a Linux operating system, which runs several applications in
parallel.
Device and System Overview
Fig. 2.1.7.1: Scalibur software structure
2.2.1 Scalibur System Shell
The Scalibur System Shell is accessible only via the local USB-OTG port, and is
used during commissioning to configure basic settings like IP address, or as
maintenance access if IP address or passwords have been lost.
2.2.2 IO Server
The IO server controls the modular Inline terminals of the Scalibur station and
manages concurrent accesses to the hardware data points. Niagara and the IO
server communicate via an TCP connection. This allows to control IOs remotely
from another Niagara station. The remote access can be limited or disabled by the
setting of the IP address of the controlling station.
2.2.3 Commissioning Web Server
The commissioning web server is exclusively accessible via the local USB-OTG
port. It presents web pages to commission the device: setting IP addresses and time
zone, reading state of inputs and setting output states of the data points of the local
IO terminals for test purposes.
2.2.4 Sedona Virtual Machine
The Sedona virtual machine (SVM) runs the Sedona application in real-time with
configurable cycle time. The Niagara Workbench connects to the SVM to modify the
application, load updates, or create backups of the application. Platform specific kits
provide access to the IO terminals, and also to system settings like IP addresses
Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L sysmik.de 9
Device and System Overview
and Modbus settings. A Modbus TCP server and a Modbus TCP client/Modbus RTU
master are integrated and are used to exchange data with other Sedona controllers.
Also, Niagara can be deactivated here.
2.2.5 Niagara Framework
Scalibur can be parameterized with Niagara Workbench and a platform connection
to the Niagara daemon. This includes loading of software updates and of a station
(Niagara application), which can be run automatically by the Niagara daemon.
A Workbench connection to a station is used to modify the station. All features of the
Niagara framework are available:
data point integration over a plethora of open automation protocols (LON,
BACnet, KNX, M-Bus, Modbus, and others) with data normalization
system functions (scheduler, alarming, trend log)
web visualization
enterprise interfaces (oBIX, data bases) and many more

3.1.2 Mounting
Preferred mounting position is horizontal (i.e. on a horizontal DIN rail which is
attached to a vertical wall). For all other mounting positions, a derating has to be
observed (see chapter 6).
Note: The air vents have to be kept free with a sufficient spacing to other components, to
ensure optimal air ventilation.
The device is designed for easy snap in mounting on 35 mm x 7.5 mm
DIN EN 60715 rails (formerly DIN EN 50022).
Note: The DIN rail should be attached to a mounting plate or an even back plane for best
stability.
Suitable fixtures, like end clamps or grounding terminals have to be used at both
ends of the station, to prevent sliding off the rail.
Note: To ensure easy unlocking of the Ethernet connectors, use only clamps at the bus
controller side of the station that do not protrude more than 30 mm from the rail.
Note: Only use clean and corrosion free mounting rails in order to ensure a safe contact
between the FE terminals.

3.1.3 Adding Inline Terminals
6452B010
An Inline station is assembled by plugging the individual components to each other,
thus establishing the potential and bus signal connection between the individual
components of the station. Figure 3.1.3.1 shows the procedure of mounting a
terminal.
Disconnect power to the entire station.
Mount the electronics base onto the rail (A). Adjacent terminals are
interlocked by their feather keys / keyways (B).
First insert the feather keys of the local bus into the keyways of the
preceding terminal (B1).
Guide the feather keys along the keyways until they lock appropriately
(B2).
Ensure that the feather keys are properly connected (C2). C1 shows the
common mistake that the feather keys are not inside their keyways.
After mounting all electronics bases install the connectors onto their
respective bases. First insert the front detent (D1). Then push the
connector onto the electronics base until the rear detent locks properly
(D2).

3.2.2.1 How to Connect Power
The bus controller is operated with 24 V DC. The bus controller is powered from this
source and it generates the logic voltage for the logic circuit and the analog voltage
for the analog circuit. The logic circuit supplies the internal bus including the
communication chips of all connected automation I/O terminals. The analog circuit
provides an auxiliary supply for analog signals.
Note: While connecting the automation terminals please observe the derating of the logic
voltage, the supply of the analog terminals, and the maximum ampacity of the terminals.
Furthermore the bus controller includes connections for the supply of the mains and
segment voltage of the Inline station.
Fig 3.2.2.1 shows the basic circuit for the connections of the power supply.

completely by the Scalibur, that is without power or boost terminals.
Without power and boost terminals and regardless of the circuits U
und US, the
M
maximum current consumption of the Scalibur with connected terminals is 1.7 A.
In addition there are the current requirements of the sensors and actuators, whereas
the current through feather keys and keyways is limited to a maximum of 8 A.
Note: When selecting an external power supply, plan sufficient reserves. also into account
that it could come to a current increase to a multiple of the rated current in the moment of
turn-on caused by input capacities. Power supplies with over current shut-down must have a
sufficient response delay to avoid start-up problems.
3.2.2.4 Derating of Terminal and USB Supply
Because USB and the Inline terminals are supplied by Scalibur’s internal power
supply unit, an increased load there increases Scalibur’s internal power dissipation.,
Therefore, a derating has to be observed, which is depending on the mounting
position (see Fig. 3.2.2.4). The recommended mounting position (with least derating)
is horizontally (that is, clipped to a horizontal DIN rail on the wall).
The internal power dissipation caused by USB loads (P

Polarity reversal: Parallel diodes. In case of wrong polarity a high current is flowing
which is blowing the external fuses.
Segment supply and main supply are related to the same ground potential.
Note: Each 24 V voltage supply must be fused externally. The power supply unit must be
capable of supplying a current four times the nominal value of the external fuse to reliably
blow the fuses in case of an error.

plug for each bus line. Thus the TP/FT-10 bus can be wired in one line without
additional terminals and the ICS can be removed without bus interruption.
While connecting L
ONWORKS technology based devices to the bus, the LONMARK
wiring guidelines [3] must be observed. According to the network topology one or
two network terminators such as SysMik ACC-BT have to be attached. If shielded
cables are used, the shield can be connected to the SH connector in order to avoid
electrostatic charging. The data bus is polarity independent. More detailed
information can be found in the manual of the used transceiver [2].
3.2.4 Ethernet
The Scalibur provides four Ethernet ports with built-in switch and the following
properties:
shielded RJ45 connectors
10/100BaseT, automatic detection
automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection
Figure 3.2.4.1: Terminal assignment of Ethernet port
Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L sysmik.de 21
Installation and Commissioning
The 10/100BaseT-Ports are able to recognize and to correct an interchanged
receive path pair (RD+/RD-). Thus either crossover or patch cable can be used, no
matter if the remote station is another end device, a switch or a hub.
Note: The maximum distance of 100 m between Ethernet devices can only be achieved
using cables from category 5 on.
3.2.5 USB-OTG for local Access
The local access is a connection between Scalibur and a PC, which works
regardless of the device settings (especially IP address). Simply connect a Windows
PC to the Scalibur with a standard Mini USB cable.
Installation of PC driver
With Scalibur Operating System 1.01.0 or newer, the PC driver software is
automatically installed (Windows 8.1, Windows 10).
For older Scalibur Operating Systems or when using Windows 7, the proper driver
has to be selected manually as follows:
If you connect the Scalibur to your PC for the first time, Windows detects a new
device and shows this in the Device Manager as “RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget” below
“Other devices”.
select “Update driver software…” in the local menu of the device entry
chose “Browse my computer for driver software”
chose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
select “Network adapters” as device type
select “Microsoft Corporation” as manufacturer and “Remote NDIS
Compatible Device” as network adapter and click “Next”
pass warning “Update driver warning” with “Yes”
close the notification window after successful device driver installation

If the device is detected as a serial COM device instead, we recommend a firmware
upgrade of the Scalibur. If that is not feasible, please contact SysMik for an alternative
solution of the driver installation.

4.1 Configuration Tools
Fundamental device settings are vital to the device operation and should be
protected carefully. To prevent unwanted accesses from the network while offering a
stable configuration access, which is independent of the current IP settings, the
Scalibur offers a local access via USB-OTG (see chapter 3.2.5).
The connected PC is getting another virtual network adapter, which is connected to
the Scalibur and is automatically receiving IP settings from the Scalibur DHCP
server. The IP address of the Scalibur is 172.16.0.10 in this virtual network.
28 sysmik.de Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L
The local access offers several services and protocols to the PC for configuration
and diagnosis.
Protocol Port PC-Software Application
Telnet 23 Telnet client SCA system shell

Table 4.1.1: Protocols of local access
4.1.1 SCA System Shell
The SCA System Shell allows to configure fundamental settings of the Scalibur. To
this end, the PC is connected via USB-OTG to the Scalibur and then a Telnet client
is used on the PC to establish a Telnet session with the Scalibur (address
172.16.0.10 / port 23).
The SCA System Shell shows host ID, version information of several software

On the page Terminals, the data points of the connected IO terminals can be
observed and manually overridden (see 4.2.3).
The webserver hosts further web pages, which are alternatively also available via
Ethernet:
DALI configurator to assign addresses to DALI ballasts (connected via
DALI terminals) and configure them
User defined visualization pages, which are created using Sedona
programming [4].
4.1.3 File Access via FTP
The Scalibur has an SFTP server to access the file system. This can be used to
load software updates from the PC to the Scalibur. The SFTP server can only be
activated and deactivated from the SCA System Shell (see chapter 4.1.1). A
password for the user “sftpuser” can be defined.
In parallel to SFTP an SSH server can be activated. It can be used for command
line based diagnosis of the controller by the manufacturer only.
4.2 Commissioning Scalibur
Scalibur comes with a default configuration and settings like IP addresses, time,
time zone, and others have to be specifically configured.
The following Scalibur functions are active:
The SCA System Shell expects input.
The IO server detects the connected IO terminals and opens its interface
for commissioning website, Sedona, and Niagara.
The commissioning webserver hosts the commissioning website.
The Niagara daemon is ready for a Platform connection with Workbench
(user sysmik / password intesa). Though there is no station running – these
can be loaded later during the Niagara commissioning.
Changing IP addresses or time zone becomes effective only after reboot.
30 sysmik.de Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L
4.2.1 IP Addressing
Scalibur’s default IP address of the primary IP interface (eth0) is 192.168.1.1, the
subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The secondary IP interface (eth1) is deactivated by
default. There are several ways to configure the IP settings:
SCA System Shell (see 4.1.1)
Commissioning website via Settings/Network (see 4.1.2)
Workbench via Platform connection with the Niagara daemon under TCP/IP
Configuration
4.2.2 Time and Time Zone
The internal time is derived from a buffered RTC. At delivery the buffer capacitor is
usually discharged and the time at the first start of the Scalibur is set to midnight
2000-01-01. Time and time zone (default Central European Time CET or Central
European Summer Time CEST) can be configured in several ways:
SCA System Shell (see 4.1.1)
Commissioning website via Settings
Workbench via Platform connection with the Niagara daemon under
Platform Administration
4.2.3 Hardware Data Point Test
Usually, the electrical connection and the software integration of control stations are
done by different persons and at different times. Ideally, the electrical installation
(mounting and cabling) should be finished with a data point test and its according
documentation. This is supported by the commissioning webserver, which clearly
visualizes all input and output signals of the IO terminals. If required, output
channels and also their configuration, like measuring ranges, can be manually
overridden. Thus, a data point test doesn’t need any application software. By leaving
the commissioning page (either manually or by timeout), all overrides are reverted.

If an IP interface has more than one Ethernet port assigned to it, the IP interface is
accessible on each of these ports. Also, Ethernet traffic is forwarded between these
ports, so that several devices can be linked in a line-topology (see Fig. 4.3.1.5).
Between Ethernet ports that do belong to different IP interfaces there is no Ethernet
traffic (i.e. these ports are completely separated at Ethernet level).

Ethernet ports LAN3 and LAN4 allow to build an Ethernet ring, provided both ports
belong to eth0. The Ethernet ring connects Ethernet field devices with integrated
unmanaged switch (with at least two Ethernet ports, like SysMik's SCC devices) and
ensures Ethernet communication even when one connection in the ring is broken
(see Fig. 4.3.1.5).
If the ring is completely closed and the involved switches are unmanaged ones, a so
called broadcast storm is likely to occur: because broadcast and multicast
messages are always forwarded, they circulate in the ring and create high traffic
load. The Ethernet ring monitoring observes always the state of the ring and
deactivates LAN4 when the ring is faultless. If the ring connection is broken at one
point, LAN4 is activated.
Note: The time for complete recovery of the communication in the ring is defined by the
aging-time of the switches in the ring.
4.3.3 Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP)
The Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol allows to build arbitrary redundant Ethernet
structures, also beyond simple ring structures, by detecting redundant paths in the
system and disabling them as long as they are not needed. As soon as a connection
is broken it will be replaced by a redundant path (provided there is one). RSTP
needs just a few seconds to re-establish a broken connection.
Software
Note: Inside an RSTP structure, all involved Ethernet switches must support RSTP and must
be adequately configured.
Tables 4.3.3.1 to Table 4.3.3.4 show the possible combinations regarding RSTP. A
LAN port can be configured for RSTP if there is at least one further LAN port
assigned to the same IP interface.

Website. This allows to check whether the redundancy of a topology is still intact.
When a path gets disconnected, formerly inactive ports will be activated, which can
be signalized.

4.3.5 Broadcast Storm Protection
36 sysmik.de Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L
Broadcast storm protection limits the traffic rate for multicast and broadcast packets.
Configurable values are 0.032 / 0.05 / 0.1 / 0.5 / 1 (factory default) / 2 / 5 / 10 / 20
Mbps. This setting applies to all four ports.
Even with ring monitoring and RSTP, redundant paths can't be completely avoided.
From detecting a topology change it takes several seconds until the reorganization
is completed. In this period a broadcast storm can develop, which might interfere
with the management messages for the reorganization, thus effectively preventing a
proper reorganization. The broadcast storm protection function limits the traffic load
of broadcast and multicast messages and terminates broadcast storms.
4.4 Real-Time Control with Scalibur and Sedona
Sedona allows to program control applications, which run with configurable cycle
times. Sedona must first be activated from the SCA system shell (s. 4.1.1) or the
commissioning website (s. 4.1.2). Niagara Workbench is used as engineering tool.
The programming follows a component-based approach: The application consists of
components, which are parameterized and connected with each other. With the
textual programming language Sedona (similar to C++ and Java), it is even possible
to create own Sedona components. An introduction to Sedona offers [4], while
further, more detailed information can be found in [6].
4.4.1 IO Access
Hardware data points can be accessed via the terminal components of the
SysMikScaIo kit. There is a component for each terminal type with its specific slots,
that allow to access inputs and outputs and to parameterize the terminal.
The component ScaIo works as folder, into which the hardware related components
are added. Furthermore, it provides an Action Restart IO to restart the IO server.
Each terminal component has a property Terminal, which defines the terminal
position. The first terminal directly at the Scalibur has position 1, and so on. Some
terminal components contain further parameters (e.g. measuring ranges for analog
input terminals) or actions (e.g. counter initialization of pulse metering terminals).
Software
Table 4.4.1: PropertySheet view of a terminal component
4.4.2 Modbus
Via Platform Service, a Modbus TCP server can be started for the Sedona Virtual
Machine, which hosts the following data points:
10,000 coils (digital outputs)
10,000 discrete inputs (digital inputs)
10,000 holding registers (analog outputs)
10,000 input registers (analog inputs)
The Sedona application has access to these data points via components of the kit
SysMikModbusServer.
Additionally, with components of the kit SysMikModbusClient, the Sedona
application can act as Modbus TCP client or Modbus RTU master to read and write
data points of remote Modbus devices.
Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L sysmik.de 37

4.4.3 Platform Service
The platform service (SedonaAppserviceplat) is a mandatory element of any
Sedona application and allows device specific configurations:
Timezone – time zone, e.g. Europe/Berlin
IP-Addressing
- Ip Addressing – static or DHCP
- Ip Address
- Ip Net Mask – subnet mask
- Ip Gateway – gateway address
- Ip Dns1, Ip Dns2, Ip Dns3 – Domain Name Server
Sntp Address – SNTP server address

- Modbus Port (0 to deactivate Modbus server)
- Unit-ID
Modbus RTU
- Modbus Rtu Enabled
- Modbus Rtu Baud
- Modbus Rtu Parity
- Modbus Rtu Stop Bits
Niagara enabled – in case the parallel operation of Niagara and Sedona is
not wanted, Niagara can be deactivated or again be enabled
IoPort – TCP port number of the IO server
IoRemoteAddr – to prevent an unwanted remote control of Scalibur IOs by
other Niagara stations, a remote control address can be configured. Default
is empty which blocks remote control completely. It is possible to allow
remote control only for a specific IP address by setting the entry to this
specific IP address. 255.255.255.255 allows remote control from any IP
address..
All configurations require a restart of the Scalibur to become effective.
38 sysmik.de Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L
4.5 Integration with Scalibur and Niagara Framework
The Niagara framework contains many communication protocols, which are
automatically available in the Scalibur, too:
BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP (only at COM1 and COM2), LonWorks IP852, LonMark
TP/FT-10 (only SCA-340-L), Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, M-Bus, KNX/IP, SNMP,
oBIX, Sedona and many more. Data points from different sources can be integrated
and connected using these communication protocols. Niagara offers a rich set of
processing and system functions, like trend log, alarming, scheduling, web
visualization, report generators, and interfaces to e-mail, SMS, data bases and
other. All the engineering is done with a single tool – Workbench.
4.5.1 Local IO Access
The components of the module sysmikScaIo allow to access the IO terminals. This
follows consequently the approach of the Niagara Driver Framework (Network –
Device – Point): SysMikScaNetwork – Terminals – Data points (IO channel).
From the Driver Manager, the default view of Station
SysmikScaIoNetwork is created via New.
In the N Device Manager, the default view of the SysmikScaIoNetwork, the
connected terminals can be detected via Discover. The detected terminals can be
inserted to the station via Add.

In the N Point Manager, the default view of the points folder, the available IO
channels can be displayed via Discover. These can be inserted as proxy points to
the station via Add. Some data points have specific functions:
Measurement ranges of the analog input terminals can be configured with
the additional property Ai Type of the proxy extension.
Counter values of the pulse metering terminal can be initialized with the
action Init Counter of the proxy extensions.

4.5.2 Serial Interfaces
The Scalibur has two serial RS-485 interfaces, that are available as COM1 and
COM2 for any serial protocols. All relevant baud rates equal or above 200 baud are
supported.
Further serial interfaces can be added via IO terminals. Universal serial terminals of
type IB IL RS UNI support the interface types RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422, which
can be configured with Workbench via their associated terminal component in
SysmikScaNetwork. IB IL RS 232-ECO and IB IL RS 485-ECO support serial
interfaces types regarding their names. The serial interfaces of the IO terminals can
be used as master for serial protocols except BACnet MS/TP. The supported baud
rates are documented in the data sheets of the terminals.
Terminals of type IB IL MBUS extend the Scalibur by serial interfaces according to
the M-Bus standard for connection of up to 30 M-Bus slaves and are controlled with
the Niagara M-Bus driver.
The interface names of the serial terminals are assigned according to their position,
starting with COM3.
A summary of all serial interfaces, including their current use (owner) is available at
Station/Config/Services/PlatformServices/SerialPortPlatformServiceNpsdk.
Example:
The screenshot shows an overview for a Scalibur controller with 4 serial ports total –
two from the controller itself and two added via serial terminals:
COM1: The first built-in RS-485 interface is used by the MS/TP port of the
BacnetNetwork.
COM2: The second built-in RS-485 interface is assigned to the
ModbusSlaveNetwork.
COM3: The IB IL MBUS terminal at Inline position 7 is used as interface for
the MbusNetwork.
COM4: The IB IL RS UNI terminal at Inline position is used by the
ModbusAsyncNetwork. To this end the property RsType of the terminals
PropertySheet in SysmikScaNetwork is set to RS-485.

4.5.3 IO Remote Control
The SysmikScaNetwork sets up a TCP connection to an IO server, to access the IO
terminals. The property Address defines address and port of this server. Default is
the local address 127.0.0.1:2015, which establishes contact to the local IO
server. But it is also possible to connect to an IO server of a different device by
configuring its address here.

4.6 Concurrent Access to the IO Terminals
Several software components can access the IO terminals of the Inline system. For
reading input data, this poses no problems. For outputs and configuration however,
the different program parts could work against each other. In order to achieve a
predictable behavior of the IOs, there is a channel-wise priority control.
Each source can set a value with its source-specific priority, or release its access.
This release is using technology specific values:
Type
Digital output, bool auto null null
Measuring range, enum auto auto auto
Table 4.6.1: Release values of priority control
If several sources try to access the same IO channel, the following ranking applies:
Rank Component
1 Commissioning website (i.e. manual override in test mode)
2 Sedona
3 Niagara local access
4 Niagara remote access
Table 4.6.2: Ranking of priority sources
The commissioning website has highest priority. Manual override is always possible
regardless of the other program components. By leaving the commissioning page,
all overrides are automatically released.
Sedona and Niagara components do by default release their priority. Only if they are
configured or connected to other components, the priority is actually used.
Note: Deleting or re-addressing components does not automatically release the
priority of this channel. Of course, a priority could be manually released by setting
explicitly to the release value. Restarting the Scalibur re-initializes (releases) the
complete internal priority array.

Software
Depending on the data point type, the following default values apply if all priorities
are released (that is, no software component accesses this channel):
Type of data point Default value
Digital output – output signal off
Analog output – output signal 0.0 V
DALI control - ballast 0.0 %
Analog input – measurement range 0..10 V, if applicable
Table 4.6.3: Default values of priority control
Some actions have command character. These do not change the priority level, but
are processed in their order of occurrence (or suppressed completely in case of
insufficient priority). Such commands are:
Initialization of counter values of the pulse metering terminal
DALI lighting control commands
Initialization, read and write operations of serial terminals
For these cases it is up to the application programmer to prevent unwanted
concurrent accesses from different sources.

Best Practices and Troubleshooting
5. Best Practices and Troubleshooting
5.1 Performance and Resource Management
All software processes share the common resources (processor time, memory).
Besides the complexity of the application itself, the interface definitions, especially
the connected I/O terminals have an important impact on ressource usage. While
each data point needs ressources just by its existence, it is usually also processed
within the application, thus enlarging the application.
Note: All quantitative information given in this chapter are not guaranteed. They may help
you to estimate the load caused by I/O terminals.
I/O terminals
Scalibur can handle up to 63 I/O and function terminals. This is a rather theoretical
limit, which gets relativated by the geometrical size of the station. In general,
stations with more terminals need more time to transfer data between controller and
terminals. Digital input and putput terminals have the least performance impact.
If you connect 63 digital I/O terminals with 32 channels each, the station has 2016
I/O datapoints, while being more than 9 ft. wide. Supply and segment terminals
might enlarge the stations width even further.
IB IL DALI/PWR, IB IL DALI, IB IL DALI/MM
A DALI terminal can adress up to 81 data points (64 short addresses, 16 group
addresses, one broadcast). The ressource demand depends on the number of DALI
ballasts and how they are controlled:
addressing via broadcast (one data point, no status), maybe using scenes
group addressing (some data points, which are written on change only, no
status)
individual addressing (many data points, which are written on change only)
individual addressing with evaluation of ballast status (many data points,
which are polled periodically)
individual or group addressing with additional use of DALI sensors
While e.g. broadcast addressing needs little ressources and would allow the
maximum number of 63 DALI terminals, for a higher load on the DALI terminals no
more than 8 DALI terminals should be used. Especially when using DALI sensors,
the desired reaction time is an important criterion.
IB IL RS UNI, IB IL MBUS, IB IL RS 232-ECO, IB IL RS 485-ECO
These terminals are serial interfaces which can have 30 (MBus) or more slave
devices. The limiting factor is here the required poll rate or reaction time. The hard
limit is 16 serial terminals, but then no other terminals could be added. We
recommend to use 8 terminals at the most.
With Modbus RTU, the max. number of about 4-5 messages per second can be
achieved with one connected terminal IL IL RS UNI. When 8 such terminals are
connected, the poll rate drops to about 2 messages per second (for each terminal).
46 sysmik.de Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L
Diagnosis
The available resources can be shown in Workbench using all accesses:
Platform: Platform Administration
Station: Views
Sedona: App
Note: The system load should be below 100 %, because otherwise the relevant timing (cycle
times) can’t be ensured. Optimize in this case your application, i.e. by increasing Sedona
task cycle time or intervals of the Niagara station (e.g. poll intervals). Please be aware that
every kind of communication creates processor load, too – so leave a margin for that.

5.2 Reliability of Nonvolatile Memory
Scalibur contains a highly integrated Flash memory for use in the industrial
temperature range. Physically caused, the reliability is depending on the number of
writes and the environmental temperature: frequent writing of large data blocks
wears out the memory and a high environmental temperature reduces the
guaranteed data retention time.
The stress on the memory depends heavily on the application. Occasional write
accesses due to programming and software upgrades cause writing of large data
blocks to the Flash. However, these are almost negligible in comparison to the
amount of data which is written in regular intervals, like logging of history data or
StationSave.
The write load caused by history data can be shown via
Station
Size and write frequency of history data should be configured in such a way, that
writing of a data recovery block happens less than once a minute.
StationSave should be performed much less than once per hour.
Regarding the environmental temperature, the defined maximum values in chapter
Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. must not be exceeded
and the mounting position has to be observed (see chapter 3.1.2).

Best Practices and Troubleshooting
5.3 Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
Scalibur is a very complex device with many functions and interfaces. This
complexity leads to many possible misconfigurations in practical use. Most mistakes
arise from connections with other devices or components. Therefore the controller
should not be diagnosed isolated, but in context with the complete system.
Several tools allow to locate possible reasons for failures:
power LEDs (see 3.3.2)
software status LEDs (see 3.3.3)
IO status LED (see 3.3.4)
communication LEDs (see 3.3.5)
diagnosis LEDs of the connected IO terminals
Service LED (see 3.3.6)
Ethernet status LEDs (see 3.3.7)
Manual SCA-340 / SCA-340-L sysmik.de 47
Best Practices and Troubleshooting
Additionally, Niagara provides powerful tools to analyze the communication in
connected automation networks.
Before starting a detailed analysis, make sure that the device is properly wired,
supplied and has finished booting. Check especially
if all IO terminals are properly interlocked and connected by their feather
keys/keyways
if the mounting rail is properly grounded
if the functional earth connector of the device is connected using a 1.5 mm²
(AWG ) wire with the mounting rail via a earthing clamp
if the LEDs UM, US, UL are permanently on
if the power supply voltage is within the allowed tolerance range
A good indicator are the tree software status LEDs (see 3.3.3). Only if they
are regularly blinking, the boot process has finished.
5.3.1 SCA System Shell / Commissioning Website is not accessible
Both of these need an USB cable from the PC USB port to the Mini USB port of the
Scalibur.
Please verify that the cable is not damaged and is properly plugged into both
sockets.
Check if the Device Manager shows the device Remote NDIS Compatible Device is
shown as Network adapter. If not, re-install the device driver (see 3.2.5).
5.3.2 IP Address unknown
The IP addresses of the Scalibur can be shown and modified via the SCA System
Shell or the commissioning website. Both accesses work independent of the current
IP settings via a local USB connection (see 4).
5.3.3 No IP Communication
The command ping allows to test the Ethernet connection between two devices. The
SCA System Shell provides a ping function.
Please check first the proper connection of the Scalibur to the Ethernet using the
Ethernet status LEDs.
Then, the IP addresses and subnet masks of all devices that shall communicate with
each other. Especially ensure unique IP addresses and proper subnet settings.
5.3.4 Unknown Niagara Platform Access Credentials
If the access credentials are lost, they can be reset to their default value (user
sysmik / password intesa) with the Service button (see 3.3.6). The Scalibur has to
be restarted and the Service button must be pressed at the right moment.

Best Practices and Troubleshooting
logic voltage ok, error at interface between blinking and previous terminal
(e.g. loose contact, defective terminal, hot-plugging of terminal)
5.3.5 No Platform Connection to Device - Platform Daemon is not starting
If the Platform daemon doesn’t start, it's not possible to connect to the Niagara
Platform of the device. This can be identified by looking at the PL LED (see Table
3.3.3.1): it doesn't blink or ceases to blink about one minute after the start. Possible
reasons and measures:
Daemon HTTP Port is doubly used
The Daemon HTTP Port must not be used by any other system component (e.g. by
the IO server).
Check with the SCA System Shell (see 4.1.1) or the Commissioning Website (see
4.1.2), that there is no other software component (webserver, IO server) is using the
Daemon HTTP Port (default: standard 3011 / secure 5011).
The Daemon HTTP Port can be reset to its default value using the Service button
(see 3.3.6) or the SCA System Shell.
RTC date in invalid range
If the device has no power supply for several days, eg. when in storage, the RTC
can loose its date, which is then set to a random value at start. A date outside the
range of June, 6
Platform daemon.
Set the date with the SCA System Shell to a value inside the above mentioned
range. Check the Operating System version with the SCA System Shell or the
Commisioning Website. If the version is ≤ 1.0.1.2, then the device software needs to
be upgraded. Versions from 1.0.1.3 on will automatically fix a date outside of this
range.
th
2015 to December, 29th 2020 prevents starting the Niagara
5.3.6 Sedona Virtual Machine is not Starting
Sedona must be activated from the SCA system shell (s. 4.1.1) or the
commissioning website (s. 4.1.2). If the Scalibur Sedona files (app.sab and
kits.scode) are corrupted or inconsistent, the SVM cannot start. In this case, a
device connection from Niagara Workbench to the Sedona controller is not possible.
Consequently, Sedona tools cannot be used to fix this situation.
Instead, the Service button offers a way to overwrite these files with default files
(see 3.3.6). The Scalibur has to be restarted and the Service button must be
pressed at the right moment.
5.3.7 IO Errors
Important indicators for the state of the IO terminals are Scalibur’s IO LED and the
diagnosis LEDs of the Inline terminals (labelled “D”).
