How to Start or Run the WCCUtility . exe Program (SS5023)

The WCCUtility.exe shortcut icon should have been installed on your WCC III front end computer desktop with the WCC III Installation Software CD. The WCC III Installation Software CD is W attMaster Controls Part # DM1WC011-01X.

To start the WCCUtility.exe program, double-click the left mouse button on the Shortcut Icon located on the Windows desktop.

After a short period of time, dependent upon the CPU speed of your Windows based computer and the speed of your IP connection to the internet, the WCC III T ype Connection Dialog Box will appear .

Port Number:

The WCC3.exe program opens a two-way , secure communications port that then allows for communication between the WCC III – MCD and the WCCUtility.exe program that is running on the WCC III Front end computer. This IP Address connection is done on a higher address port number than normal (WCC III connection is port number 39289) to help reduce the risk of computer hacking. Using your mouse, left-click on the The Remote Access Dialog Window will appear.

By selecting <OK>, the WCCUtility.exe program will now start to connect to the selected WCC III – MCD via this selected IP address connection. It should bring up the WCCUTILITY Set Password Dialog Screen within a new window. If the IP address connection fails to connect to the WCC III – MCD, then another small dialog box window will appear. This is the Cannot Communicate to Backtask Dialog Box.

If you click will have to ﬁ gure out why you cannot connect to the WCC III – MCD via the IP address connection.

Server IP Address:

This is the static IP address of the WCC III – MCD. An IP Address is like a phone number on the world wide web. The IP address for the WCC III – MCD must be Static (does not change) as opposed to Dynamic (constantly changing). This static IP address must be provided by your internet service provider. (A static IP address is the preferred IP connection method for the WCC III system to function.) If you actually know the static IP address of the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to, please enter it here in the Server IP Address ﬁ eld, or better yet, continue to the Remote Access Dialog Window by selecting the

You can use a Dynamic IP Address with the WCC III – MCD, but you must then have what is called a static “Host Name”. This static “Host name” must then be provided by your internet service provider and is limited to 58 total characters.

<Access Job Site> button.

If you click <No>, you will not exit the WCCUtility.exe program, but instead you will be connected to the WCCUTILITY Set Password Dialog Screen within a new window. This connection to the WCCUTILITY Set Password Dialog Screen is not an actual IP connection, but rather a “dummy” WCCUTILITY Set Password Dialog screen. Once you click WCCUtility.exe program and a message will be displayed stating “Password level has to be higher or equal to three in order to run Wcc3Utility!”.

<OK>, you will exit the

The Remote Access Dialog Box will allow you to enter multiple WCC III – MCD IP addresses based upon “Job Site” names. This is done by typing in the name of the jobsite you wish to call your system.

First you must select a “BLANK” line in the bottom box area with your left mouse button. (This line will then be highlighted in “Blue”.) You must then enter a Job Site name in the “Job Site” ﬁ eld, along with the static IP address and Port number (39289) for the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCCUtility.exe program.

If you are using a static “Host Name” instead of a static IP address, please make sure that the Dynamic Address check box has been selected, along with the static “Host Name” in the space provided. As mentioned previously, you must get this static “Host Name” from your internet service provider, and it is limited to 58 characters total.

Please note that this “Job Site” name will also be the name of a subdirectory that will automatically be created in the Local disk C:\ ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCCUtility subdirectory on the WCC III Front end computer. The Remote Access Dialog Box also creates a JobSite.dat data ﬁ le in the C:\ProgramFiles\WCCIII\WCCUtility subdirectory. This data ﬁ le is not a viewable type of ﬁ le. The JobSite.dat ﬁ le can be copied and then can be used on other WCC III front end computers. This reused JobSite.dat will then recreate the needed “Job Site” subdirectories on the other WCC III front end computers upon the reselection of the Job Site IP address.

In an already ﬁ lled out Remote Access Dialog Box, you can simply select from the list of previously entered Job Sites that are displayed in the bottom box ﬁ eld. Then left-click back to the Connection Dialog Box that was ﬁ rst displayed. This Connection Dialog Box now should have the desired IP address in the Server IP Address location ﬁ eld and the port number (39289) in the Port Number location ﬁ eld for the WCC III – MCD that you wish to connect to with the WCCUtility .exe program.

<OK>. This will take you

The data which is entered on the following WCC III screens is stored in the memory of the satellite controllers and is not stored in the MCD:

1) Analog Inputs

2) Control Outputs

3) Analog Outputs

4) Trend Logs

5) Logic Switches

6) Binary Output

7) SCUSCR

However, you have the option of saving the information which is in the satellite controllers on a disk in the remote WCC3 computer (personal computer) to allow you to have a back-up copy of the satellite data. We strongly encourage you to do this to avoid the possibility of having to manually re-enter satellite data.

The satellite data may be saved on a disk which is in the remote WCC3 computer (personal computer) located at the building being controlled, or if you have our remote communications software, you may save this information on a disk in a remote computer.

The information for up to 239 satellite controllers may be saved on a hard disk.

When you select Screen will appear. Above is an example of a satellite save in progress.

In the Save Satellite(s) to disk path data ﬁ eld, type in the name of the drive and, if applicable, the folder you wish to save the satellite data. If you need to browse your system to ﬁ nd the name of a folder, select

Next, type in the number(s) of the satellites you wish to save to disk. Separate the numbers with a space and a comma as shown in the example. Then select

When the Save is complete, there will be a “ﬁ nished!!” message in one of the ﬁ elds.

The system will give the satellite data the ﬁ le name Sat#.DA T , with the # representing the number of the satellite. If there is already a .DAT ﬁ le with the same SAT #, the earlier .DAT ﬁ le will change to a .BAK ﬁ le.

If you would like to copy information from one satellite to another, select <Copy Satellite> from the WccUtility Menu.

Copy from Satellite #:

Speciﬁ es the number of the satellite which has the information which will be transferred to the other satellite(s).

Copy to Satellite #:

Speciﬁ es the number for the satellite(s) which will receive the information. You may input multiple satellites in this location by using commas between and/or a dash for strings of satellites as in the example below:

Copy from Satellite # : 2 Copy to Satellite # : 4, 6, 12, 21-27, 57, 158

In this example, we are copying information from Satellite #2 to Satellites #4, 6, 12, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 57, and 158.

Point Number

The Point Numbers are the top row of numbers which are labeled All and 1-16. This information corresponds to the addresses of the satellites in question.

Point Name

The Point Names are “All, Analog Inputs and so on, ending with Zone” located vertically on the left of the screen. These also correspond to the addresses of the satellite controllers in question.

Specifying Points for Copy (*)

A checkmark must be indicated in each box which corresponds with the “Point Name” and the “Point Number” on the screens you are wanting to copy. To create a checkmark, click the left button on your mouse.

Allow Override Valid Structure

Y ou are given the choice of a YES or a NO answer for this question. Place a checkmark in the selection box for a YES. Leave the box blank for a NO. If the satellite which is receiving the information has previously been programmed, but you would like to over-write what is presently in it, choose YES. If you want to save what is already in the satellite that is receiving the information, but want the new information to be copied onto screens that are presently blank, choose NO.

For example, if you are copying from satellite #1 to satellites #2 and #3, but satellite #3 has good information which you would like to keep and #2 does not, then you would choose NO for this choice so that the valid structures in #3 would not be written over.

Allow Copy Non-V alid Structure

You are given the choice of a YES or NO answer for this question. Place a checkmark in the selection box for a YES. Leave the box blank for a NO. If you do not want to include non-valid structures (such as blank screens) from the satellite which is sending the information, then a NO answer should be left in this location. If you

wish to include any non-valid structures (such as blank screens) from the satellite you are copying from, then a YES answer should be applied to this location.

You will generally leave the box blank to indicate NO. There are not very many times non-valid structures from the source satellite need to be included. This selection is generally used in troubleshooting to distinguish between a problem with the satellite’s processor and the MCD processor by duplicating the programming in the memory from one satellite controller to another.

Start Copy

When you are ready for the copy process to begin, simply click on the <Start Copy> button at the top of the screen. The copy process will automatically begin. The points being copied will show on the screen.

Conv erting Old WCC II Data Files

CONVERTING FILES

The new WCC III system can use the same data ﬁ les as the old WCC II system, but they ﬁ rst need to be converted to a new format.

Y ou must get the WCC II data ﬁ les off of the old WCC II computer’s hard drive before you attempt to do the WCC II to WCC III ﬁ le conversion.

Copy the “old” WCC II ﬁ les to a ﬂ oppy disk. One copy of this disk should be saved for future reference and another copy of this disk (or electronic transfer of these data ﬁ les) should be sent to W attMaster Controls for conversion.

The following contains the instructions for the ﬁ le conversion whether or not you are performing the conversion yourself or having WattMaster Controls do it for you.

When you are ready to convert WCC II ﬁ les to WCC III ﬁ les, select

<Convert Files> from the WccUtility Menu.

This CONVERT FILES subprogram will assist you in converting theses ﬁ les from the “old” WCC II format to the “new” WCC III format. The program will prompt you for the location of each of the “old” WCC II individual data ﬁ les.

The program will then ask you where you want to save the converted ﬁ les. You can choose your hard drive, a USB drive, etc. Whatever source you choose, you will need to copy the ﬁ les on to a USB drive so that you can copy them to the WCC III – MCD solid state hard disk.

The transferring of these WCC III data ﬁ les is best done by using the WCC “mcd-menu” batch ﬁ le or remotely with the Webmin program. The ﬁ les will be copied into the WCC III Linux Backtask subdirectory: /home/wcciii/.wine/drive_c/Backtask/

The BackTask created ﬁ les are in binary type format and are not accessible for viewing using common text editors. Instead, you must use the WCCUtilities.exe to download the ﬁ les for viewing.

Set Global Map View and Bridge Map

SET GLOBAL MAP VIEW AND BRIDGE MAP

Overview

The “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridge” board provides a means for the new WCC III system to pass information to and from the old WCC II system. A single “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridge” board can simulate (mirror) up to 8 WCC II SAT II Controllers. A “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridge” can also share Global Binary and Global Analog information from WCC II to WCC III and current values of the simulated (mirrored) satellites from WCC III to WCC II. But this is a one way data ﬂ ow for the Global data, the direction is from the WCC II system to the WCC III system.

WccUtility .EXE Program Setup Considerations and Limitations for Global Bridge

To setup the Global Map for the “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridge”, you only have to ﬁ ll out the data in one “SetGlobalMapView” window even if you have multiple “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridges”. This is because all of the “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridges” will have the same global analog/binary value that will come from the WCC II front-end computer .

There are no limitations to the number of global analogs or global binaries that you can setup from within the “SetGlobalMapView” window. Of course, you cannot setup more than the WCC II limitations of 128 global analogs and 256 global binaries.

The BACKTASK.EXE program that is running on the WCC III

- MCD requires that the WccUtility.exe program be connected (via an IP connection) to the WCC III - MCD, that the WccUtility. exe program be opened and running at all times, and that the “SetGlobalMapView” window also be opened at all times. This IP connection must be made so that BACKT ASK.EXE can fetch and retrieve the global values from the “old” WCC II system.

If you close the “SetGlobalMapView” window or the WccUtility. exe program, the BACKTASK.EXE program will not be able to retrieve any global values from the “old” WCC II system. This means that the “SetGlobalMapView” window that does the global analog and global binaries value transfers will not transfer these global analog and global binaries values from the “WCC II to WCC III Global Bridge” board to BACKTASK.EXE program of WCC III - MCD.
