Hi,
I have one t3-bb working fine. All the inputs and outputs show up in black. I added a second t3-bb to my network with a different IP, bacnet id and panel. All of the local inputs and outputs show up red rather than black. All of the virtual points are black. Nothing else is different between the two systems. All the switches are in A on both t3-bb systems, the new system responds to config changes just like the old system, etc. [The only thing I noted was when the new t3-bb came up, it had the same panel number as the old one, which I then changed in the config panel of t3000.]
I upgraded both the t3000 and t3-bb systems to latest code and no change. The bar at the bottom says that communication is 100% green communications (this is on a small, lightly used network, so I expect no drops.)
What does the red mean and is there something I need to do to get it black?
thanks,
jerry
Could you provide me a screenshot?
Here is what you should look for:
Tab1. This T3 controller at Tab1 is in red text, its the currently selected device and the inputs & outputs in the grid area at Tab3 are IO from this particular device.
Tab2. This is a T3 controller at Tab2, its is not currently selected so it is shown in black text. Notice also the fact it is offline as you can see by the red x.
Tab3. IO on board the T3 controller shows up in the grid at Tab3 you can see whether the IO is actaul hardware or (future) expansion IO which shows as ‘virtual’. In order to use these virtual IO you will need to add some of the T3E expansion modules. Then the text here will switch from virtual to analog or binary like the ones higher up.
Tab4. Look down on the status line at tab4, when you are connected to a device you will see the communications health here.
Tab5. One other thing to be aware of is you can create virtual devices for offline programming. Right click on the tree at Tab5 and select a T3 or other device there. Now you can load and save programming, inputs, outputs and prog files without having the actual device on hand.
You have the outputs in the manual off mode. Flip the little switch on the front cover towards the output terminal, that’s the auto mode.
Hi,
I had tried to switch them, but I guess they all stopped in the middle rather than going to auto. That fixed it.
