SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To operate the Excel Web II HTML Interface via touch panel PCs or any other
standard PC platform, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
Web browsers PC
• Internet Explorer 9.0 or higher
• Firefox 15.0 or higher
• Google Chrome
Android
• Standard Web Browser
• Firefox 15.0 or higher
• Safari
• Google Chrome
IOS

NETWORK SECURITY
When operating Excel Web II in IP networks, either private (e.g., VPN) networks
must be used or protection against the open Internet (e.g., with external firewalls)
must be ensured.
Honeywell hereby expressly states that the Excel Web II controller is not inherently
protected against cyber attacks from the Internet and that it is therefore intended
solely for use in private, protected networks.
Unprotected Internet connections can expose the Excel Web II controller to cyber
attacks from third parties who can then damage it and connected facility com-
ponents or cause them to malfunction, or who can misuse it for illegal purposes
for which the operator may then be held liable.
When directly connected to the Internet, the Excel Web II controller automatically
becomes a potential target for cyber attacks. Corresponding protective measures
are therefore essential if safe and reliable operation is to be ensured.
If it is not necessary for the Excel Web II controller to be accessible from the
Internet, it should be isolated from the Internet via appropriate IP port settings.
If it is necessary for the Excel Web II controller to be accessible from the Internet
(e.g., in order to perform remote maintenance), the use of a coded VPN connection
is indispensable. Suitable VPN routers are available from numerous third-party
manufacturers in a wide variety of designs, for operation at 230 V or 24 V.
For details, see also Excel Web II Networking Whitepaper (Product Literature No.:
EN2Z-0992GE51).

USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General
The Eagle® is a BACnet/IP-based and BACnet MS/TP-based, freely programmable
building automation controller.
rd
As a native BACnet® building controller, Eagle® integrates into any 3 -party
rd
BACnet® system and can integrate 3 party BACnet devices and controllers.
Furthermore, Eagle® is a full LONW ORKS® controller. This gives the benefit of
rd
enabling you the use of Honeywell’s complete LONW ORKS® product portfolio and 3 -
party LON products.
By virtue of its "peer-to-peer" concept plus its embedded web server and embedded
Email alarming, Eagle® is not dependent upon the availability of super ordinate
BACnet clients (front-ends) or application network controllers.
11 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Updating Firmware If, at some later point in time, i.e. after the release of a new version of the firmware,
the user wishes to download the new firmware into the Eagle, this can be done
either via USB or Ethernet, using CARE.
Access Modes to
Eagle Controller Any Eagle controller on the network can be accessed via the browser-based Eagle
Web Interface, both locally and remotely. The Eagle Web Interface can reside on
any PC platform client such as:
• Desktop PC
• Notebook, Laptop
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 12
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
Procedure:
See Establish Remote LAN Connection section in CARE User Guide
EN2Z-0970GE51.
NOTE:
In order to (subsequently) operate on your standard Ethernet network (again),
you will have to change the configuration back to the previous settings.
To locally connect to the Eagle controller via USB interface, an USB cable of type
B standard can be used.
The USB connection type is mandatory for the initial setup of an Eagle controller
and recommended due to a reasonable transfer rate (2 Mbit/s) and because no
IP address changes are necessary before and after installation. In addition, the
LAN connection can be used in parallel and uninterruptedly.
Default IP address
For access via USB, the Eagle has a factory default IP address 192.168.255.241
and Network Mask 255.255.255.0.
Procedure:
See Establish Local Connection via USB Cable section in CARE User Guide
EN2Z-0970GE51.
IP Address Allocation
To establish any of the described connections, IP addresses must be allocated to
the relevant network components such as BACnet client and Eagle controller(s).
For further information, please refer to "Setup BACnet Controller" section in CARE
User Guide EN2Z-0970GE51.
Network
Based on its design as an IP device (see also "Communication Protocols"), the
Eagle controller "speaks" BACnet over IP (Internet Protocol) and hence, can be
integrated smoothly and without the need for additional devices into any network
infrastructure having regard to the corresponding network security mechanism.
13 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Application layer
Network Load The network load for one Eagle controller in combination with one BACnet client is
about 0,1 % network load in a 100 Mbit network.
HTTP
Eagle® can be operated using a standard Internet Explorer 9.0.x and Mozilla
Firefox® 15.0.x. The required minimum screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels. For
more details, please refer to the "Operating the Eagle Web Interface" section.
FTP
The firmware and application are downloaded via the standard FTP (File Transfer
Protocol).
SSH
SHH access to the Eagle controller is possible for the purpose of service and
diagnostic of the Linux operating system and the Eagle firmware. In case this is
needed, please contact your Honeywell representative.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for the embedded Email alarming functionality
of Eagle.

rd
Time Synchronization BACnet clients such as CentraLine ARENA AX or 3 -party BACnet front-ends, can
time sync the Eagle controller via the standard time sync or UTC time sync BACnet
service. When having multiple Eagle controllers on a network without any BACnet
client, the time of all devices on the bus supporting time sync can be synchronized
using one source controller.
− CentraLine ARENA AX
− Honeywell SymmetrE/EBI R31 SP4 or higher
• XFI Software
The XFI has not been tested yet with Eagle, but supports BACnet functionality.
Programming The Eagle® is freely programmable using the CARE Engineering Tool and is thus
ideal for all Building Control and Building Management tasks.
This allows making use of standard, pre-tested and pre-documented application and
control strategies.
Application Control Four selectable control loop speed classes (multitasking) with defined cycle times
and switching tables allow tailored and highly effective applications control.
User Administration Your control system is protected by defined user access rights. This ensures that
only authorized persons have access to the system data. There are six pre-defined
user levels. The predefined user levels are arranged hierarchically and the
sequence with descending priority is as follows:
Datapoints Datapoints called "Objects" in BACnet terms are the basis of the Eagle – BACnet
system. Datapoints contain system-specific information such as values, status, limit
values, and default settings. The user has easy access to datapoints and the
information they contain.
The user can recall and modify information in the datapoints.
BACnet alarming
On datapoint level, alarming is done by the BACnet intrinsic reporting service.
15 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
The algorithmic alarming uses the standard BACnet “Event Enrollment Object” and
is used to provide the following functionality:
• Warning limits for analog datapoints (Min. and Max. warning limits, in
addition to the Min and Max Alarm limits)
• Alarming for datapoint change between “auto” and “manual”
• Alarming for missing or late acknowledgement of alarms
• Maintenance alarming, based on elapsed runtime of datapoints or number
of state-changes of datapoints.
• Alarming for unsuccessful transmission of Email alarms
• Alarming for stopped or started plants within Eagle
Notification class objects allow up to 256 alarm priorities. By default, CARE provides
3 notification class objects matching the BACnet client´s alarm priorities:
• Urgent
• High
• Low
• Journal
IMPORTANT
The internal ring alarm buffer takes max. 100 alarms.
Schedules
Schedules are daily and weekly time programs.
Whenever you want, you can use schedules to enter the set point or status for any
datapoint.
Schedules are assigned to plants. Each plant of a controller can have multiple
schedules assigned and each schedule can command datapoints of that plant.
Schedules offer 16 write priorities that define the priority for writing to the present
value of output and value datapoints. Note that only priorities 9 to 16 are allowed in
the controller.
The write priority applies only to the present value property of virtual points and
output points. The write priority is ignored for all other types of properties.
For every schedule (week program), specific programs called exceptions can be
created. Exceptions have higher priority than the week program and will overwrite
the week program for a definable time period. Exceptions can be one of the
following four time periods:
• Specific Date
e.g. Christmas Eve or 5.5., the whole of May, or the whole year of 2004
• Date Range
e.g. Summer holidays from 29.7-7.9.2004
• Recurring Event
e.g. every last Friday of every month
• Calendar Reference
A project-wide calendar provides dates, e.g. regional holidays and
public/religious festivals or any other particular date. The time period can be a
specific date, a date range or a recurring event.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 16
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
Calendars
Calendars contain exception days or periods, e.g. Christmas, holidays. Calendars
are valid for the whole project, and are executed in each controller but apply only to
those schedules, which reference calendars. Changes in multiple particular
controller schedules can be quickly made by simply changing a calendar in one
controller. Thus project-wide scheduling can be influenced.
Trending Trending (collection and storage of historical data) can be initiated and configured
via the Eagle Web Interface and via BACnet clients. Trend data have unlimited
lifetime and survive an application download. Trend objects must be explicitly
deleted via Eagle Web Interface or BACnet. This deletes also the corresponding
trend records. The trended object may be a local or a reference point in the same
controller and the trended property may be integer or floating point, e.g. point value,
point state, alarm limit, time stamp.
Protocolling In the context of the Eagle controller, "protocolling" means creating a log of the
values or states of the datapoints, which have been assigned to this particular
EAGLE controller. Using the Eagle Web Interface, the user must place the
corresponding datapoints into "trend". If, at some later point in time, i.e. after lengthy
operation, a protocol of the Eagle controller's history is desired, the corresponding
trend data can be generated, viewed, and downloaded (in CSV format) via the
browser interface.
The trend data can even be downloaded into a BACnet client if this client supports
this BACnet service.
When connected to the Eagle controller via Internet Browser, all other Eagle
controllers of the same project can be operated without the necessity of a new login.
Backup/Restore
The Eagle controller supports the BACnet Backup/Restore functionality by the
backup/restore of the application files.
• Online changes which happened up to 90 sec. before the back-up was started,
may not be included in the back-up.
• Do not restore the application if the LON interface of the controller has been
changed via CARE.
• The backup does not contain trend definition and LON commissioning
information.
17 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Diagnostics
LON Diagnostics The Eagle Web Interface allows trending and display of LON specific parameters,
e.g. messages received and transmitted, communication errors, etc.
BACnet Diagnostics The Eagle Web Interface allows display and analysis of BACnet services which
have been initiated or executed by Eagle.
Furthermore the EAGLE web interface allows searching for BACnet objects in a
BACnet network.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 18
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
By default, an integrated web server provides all operation pages for a full browser-
based operation.
Through the consequent use of software standards, any PC platform can be used as
an operator interface (client). In addition to laptops, desktop PCs or panel PCs can
also be used for direct flush mounting into cabinet doors (IP65).
For detailed information on the operation of the Eagle Web Interface, please refer to
the "Operating the Eagle Web Interface" section, p. 103.
USER ADMINISTRATION
The user administration (user access manager in CARE) is used for defining user
rights according to the required functions. These definitions are done in CARE firstly
by creating the users and issuing the functions they should have permission for in
the Eagle Web Interface. In addition, the user administration (user access manager)
is used for defining the language and decimal places of values the Eagle Web
Interface should display. User rights can be changed in the Eagle Web Interface
dependent on the predefinitions of the user in CARE.
19 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Access Rights List An access rights list for a complete project will be created by assigning predefined
user levels to all executable functions (access rights) of the Eagle Web Interface. An
access rights list may look as follows:
The predefined user levels are arranged hierarchically and the sequence with
descending priority is as follows:
Example:
When assigning ´Operator` to ´Create & Delete Calendars`, a user having a user
(access) level below ´Operator`, for example ´Tenant` or ´Guest`, is not able to
create and delete calendars. A user having a user level equal to or higher than
´Operator`, for example ´Building Engineer` or ´Project Admin` is able to create and
delete calendars.
NOTE: When creating a project in CARE, the System Admin level is automatically
assigned to the user who has created the project.
Only the user who has System Admin user level can create new
users and edit or delete existing users.
User Profile For each user within a project, a user profile with the following properties will be
created:
• User name
• User (access) level
• Language
• Decimal places
• Password
• Access rights
• Email address(es)
A user is identified by its user name. One of the predefined user levels will be
appropriately assigned to the user (name).
Due to the access rights list definitions, this assignment automatically determines
the set of access rights, which the user is allowed to execute in the Eagle Web
Interface.
All users having a user level higher than or equal to the assigned user level will have
this access right enabled in the Eagle Web Interface, all others will not.
NOTE: A user can carry out his/her assigned access rights in all controllers of the
project.
In addition, the user profile includes the settings of the language in which the Eagle
Web Interface is displayed and the number of decimal places of values to be
displayed in the Eagle Web Interface.
For the email alarming function, the user must have an email address assigned
which allows receiving alarm emails generated by the Eagle controller. For each
user, max. 5 email addresses can be assigned.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 20
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
Finally, a password for each user must be issued for secure operation of the Eagle
Web Interface.

Implications of CARE Settings For some items such as datapoints and control loops, access rights can be
predefined in CARE only. Dependent on the settings done in CARE, some items
may not be visible in the Eagle Web Interface.
Example: When assigning the read access level ´building engineer` to all analog
inputs, no analog inputs are visible for users having a user access
level assigned which is lower than the ´building engineer` level, e.g. for
users with the user access levels ´operator`, ´tenant`, or ´guest`.
NOTE: The option ´HMI Pin` is provided as password for the onboard HMI.

DATAPOINTS
An Eagle® controller supports up to 600 (52 for the CLEA2014xxx models) physical
datapoints, called ´objects` in BACnet terms and an unlimited number of value
datapoints, called ´value objects` in BACnet terms.
A datapoint has different properties according to its type. Properties are displayed
and can be modified via BACnet clients, and a standard browser on operator
interfaces such as laptops, desktop PCs, or panel PCs. Properties contain
information about the given datapoint. Among many more, this information could be:
• Present value
• Transition events
• Descriptions
• Input limits values
• Operating status
• Elapsed run time
The following sections provide more-detailed information about the different kinds of
datapoints and datapoint properties and explain which properties are assigned to
which datapoints.
Physical Datapoints
Physical datapoints are inputs and outputs attached to hardware devices like
sensors and actuators.
Universal Inputs NTC20kΩ / 0…10V / slow BI, and NTC20kΩ / 0…10V fix pull-up / slow BI to connect
outside air temperature sensors, for example.
Analog Outputs Outputs with a continuous 0...10 V (max. 1 mA) output signal for controlling
continuous actuators
Binary Inputs Inputs (open = 24 V / closed 2.0 mA / totalizer 15 Hz) for processing voltage-free
signals (switches, contacts, counters).
Binary Outputs Outputs (relay N.O. or N.C. contact) for driving three-position actuators, for example,
a damper motor; two position devices, for example, a circulation pump; and pulsed
outputs
Multi-State Inputs Inputs used for equipment feedback (Automatic, On, Off)
Pulse Converter Digital inputs for processing pulsed signals up to 20 Hz (depending on I/O module
specifications), for example, metered energy consumption.
Value Datapoints
Value datapoints are values (intermediate results and parameters) computed while
the application program is running. In contrast to physical datapoints, value
datapoints are not directly connected to hardware devices.
23 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Access via datapoint name During system operation, you may need to access these values. To simplify this
process, you can include value datapoints in the datapoint list, where you can
access them directly via their datapoint name.
Like physical datapoints, value datapoints, too, can have different properties; for
example, they can specify a manual value, set minimum and maximum values, or
log trends.
The following are types of value datapoints:
Analog Value Datapoints Analog value points are software points containing an analog value in the user
program.
An analog value point could, for example, contain a flow temperature setpoint cal-
culated from the room setpoint and the outside air temperature via the heating
curve.
Binary Value Datapoints Binary value points are software points containing a binary value in the user
program.
Multi-state Value Point Multi-state Value datapoints allow switching 32 stages (including the “off stage“) of
physical digital inputs or outputs. Depending on the number of stages, the multi-
state value point provides up to 32 editable stage texts, e.g., stage 1, stage 2, stage
3, etc, to be edited in CARE.
A typical example would be a multi-state room setpoint for room control with stages
such as "Unoccupied", "Stand-by" und "Occupied".
Reference Datapoints
If your control and monitoring system contains more than one controller, the con-
trollers communicate with one another via the BACnet bus BACnet/IP or/and via
BACnet MS/TP. This enables one controller both to read and set the datapoints from
rd
other controllers, and to read values of 3 -party BACnet devices of the project and
external BACnet devices which are not in the project.
This data communication is realized via so-called reference input/output points.
They always originate in or write to another plant and may originate in or write to
another controller.
BACnet-Bus Data
NOTE: Controllers / 3rd Pary Devices can be in the same or in different projects.
Please refer also the datapoint property description in the "Reference" section.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 24
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
Mapped Datapoints
The Eagle controller may have I/O devices connected via the LONW ORKS network.
LONW ORKS network variables (or individual fields of structured network variables)
can be mapped to the property "Value" of physical datapoints (AI, BI, AO, BO, MI,
MO). Note that multi-state points on BACnet start counting from 1 while enumerated
NVs start counting from zero. So a +1 conversion table must be applied for NVI
mapping and a -1 conversion table must be applied for NVO mapping.
Datapoint Properties
Each datapoint type has associated with it various parameters, which allow the user
to set, e.g., the datapoint name, the level of access protection, alarm behavior, and
other options. These parameters are called properties. Each property performs a
specific function related to the datapoint.
Datapoint Refreshing The following properties will be simultaneously refreshed to a BACnet client or the
Eagle Web Interface:
• Present value
• Operating mode
• Reliability
• Status flags
• Event state
• Event time stamp
• Acknowledged transition
• Command priorities
• Active/Inactive texts
• Elapsed active time
• Time of active time reset
• State texts
• Feedback value
• Time of present value reset
NOTE: A complete list of all properties associated with the various datapoint types
can be found in the section Datapoint Properties Overview.
Operating Mode The user is able to switch each datapoint between manual and automatic operation.
Automatic
Under automatic operation, the controller processes the values at the inputs, for
instance from temperature sensors. For outputs, under automatic operation, the
status shown by the user/time switch program is adopted, e.g., ´Heating circuit
pump off`.
Manual
During manual operation, the controller uses the manual values, for example, ´flow
temperature setpoint = 60°C`. Outputs adopt the preselected condition, for example,
´Heating circuit pump on`.
Local Manual Override If manual override controls are present on either the analog output or digital output
modules, then the status of these controls (automatic/manual override) is displayed
in the Eagle Web Interface.
Via the standard ´Priority Array` functionality of BACnet, the manual override read
and write control is possible.

The Fixed Prio(rity) property allows saving the last value of an analog value (AV), or
an output (AO, BO, MO) during the power cycle of the controller. The value is saved
in the goldcap buffer RAM of the controller. The fixed prio property is written to
priority level 9 in the priority array. As long as no value is written to the priority level
8, the value of priority level 9 will be saved cyclically in the NAND Flash and re-read
after the re-start of the controller. After then the value can be overwritten by RACL.
The High Limit Enable property defines if high limit alarms are generated on the
BACnet bus. The following conditions must be true for the system to generate an
alarm:
• High limit is exceeded and this condition remains present for at least the defined
alarm delay (time)
• Transition events ´To-OffNormal` and ´To-Normal` are enabled
• Notification class (urgent, high or low) is allocated to this point
• Notify type is set to ´Alarm` (not ´Event`)
If all of these conditions are true, then an alarm of event type ´To-Off-Normal` is set
off.
The high limit can be predefined in CARE and changed in the Eagle Web Interface
later.
NOTE: According to the BACnet standard, disabling the High Limit does only
disable the reporting of the High Limit Alarm onto the BACnet bus. When
the High Limit is exceeded, the datapoint will still be “in Alarm”, and if a
BACnet front-end is polling the alarms of a BACnet controller, also
datapoints with High Limit disabled will be displayed on the BACnet front-

Equivalent Change of Value Increment
The change of value increment (COV increment) specifies the minimum change in
present value that causes the controller sending the present value to recipients on
the BACnet bus (e.g. Eagle Web Interface).
The COV increment is also used as the minimum change in the present value for
value-based trending.
NOTE: For the pulse convertor point type, a time-based COV increment is
possible.
Usage with Reference Inputs When using reference input points which read input values, the inputs can be reside
either in different plants of the same controller (internal referencing) or in plants of
different controllers (external referencing).
If the reference input point reads values from an internal referencing plant, every
change will be transmitted.
If the reference input point reads values from an external referencing plant, the COV
increment of the source datapoints applies. Please note that in this case, the COV
value must be set to appropriate (low) values in order to minimize falsification of the
transmitted value.
In case the connected data point does not support COV, the poll rate set in CARE
defines the interval in sec, that the reference input polls the connected data point.
If the connected data point does support COV, then the poll rate has no effect.
So the poll rate does not ensure a fault signal within the poll rate time when a
connection is lost. In case of a loss of communication the fault flag will latest be set
after 30 minutes

value to the reference output point.
rd
Sources can be any point of any Eagle controller and 3 -party BACnet device of the
project.
Reference Points Reference points are a type of software point that can share point information
across plants. If plants are located in different controllers, the point information will
be automatically transferred across the BACnet bus.
Reference Input Points Reference input points receive information from a point in another plant of the same
rd
controller (internal reference) or of another plant in another controller or 3 - party
rd
device (external reference). Controllers and 3 - party devices can reside in the
same or in different projects (for detailed procedure see CARE User Guide EN2Z-
0970GE51).
Each reference input is associated with a physical or value datapoint (source point)
somewhere in a plant residing in a controller on the bus. The source point cannot be
a receiver point and source point and receiver point cannot reside in the same plant.
BACnet-Bus Data
NOTE: Controllers / 3rd Pary Devices can be in the same or in different projects.
Reference Input Point Operation If the reference input point reads values from an internal referencing plant, every
change will be transmitted.
If the reference input point reads values from an external referencing plant, the COV
increment of the source datapoints applies. Please note, that in this case, the COV
value must be set to appropriate (low) values in order to minimize falsification of the
transmitted value.
In case the connected data point does not support COV, the poll rate set in CARE
defines the interval in sec, that the reference input polls the connected data point.
If the connected data point does support COV, then the poll rate has no effect.
So the poll rate does not ensure a fault signal within the poll rate time when a
connection is lost. In case of a loss of communication the fault flag will latest be set
after 30 minutes

Defines whether the point transmits a continuous signal and is on a board with
switches (AO, BO), or if the point is a 3 position output (AO).
The write access level can be defined and changed in CARE only. In the Eagle Web
Interface, the write access level is displayed only.
The write access level assigned to a datapoint determines which user level can write
values (properties) to that particular datapoint on the Eagle Web Interface.
A user who has a user level equal to or higher than the assigned write access level
of the datapoint, will have this access right enabled in the Eagle Web Interface, all
others will not (for further details, please refer to the User Administration section).
This chapter contains tables for each point type. The tables list point properties and
presents the following information for each:
• Property denotation specifies either the attribute name in the related CARE
Datapoint Properties tab and/or in the Eagle Datapoint Details tabs.
• Whether or not the property is available for off-line editing. “Off-line” editing
refers to changes made to database values while the controller is not active in
the system. In other words, when you are using CARE to change copies of
controller files, not the files in the actual controller.
• Whether or not the attribute is available for on-line editing. “On-line” editing
refers to changes made to controller files while the controller is active. For
example, if you are using the Eagle Web Interface or a BACnet client to change
field values in a controller while it is operating.

Start BACnet input datapoints will be initialized with the value ´zero`. After initialization,
the field devices values will be polled from the input module. During the poll all
startup activities are stopped. (Example: If a module is not present, it takes longer
for startup).
Reference inputs inside the controller are updated during the “Datapoints” stage.
Reference inputs (3rd party and in the same CARE project) from external sources
are initialized after “Controller is running”.
The Firmware ensures that the outputs are not written before RACL has finished the
first loop. The first heartbeat update for the output datapoint is 10 seconds after
“LON inputs poll”. Outputs which are changing are updated directly.
Note: Typically the there is an additional delay configured in the control loops (e.g.
with the macro GNPFA). It starts with the first start of RACL.
Alarm behavior At the beginning, all input points are not in alarm by default except those of which
input values have caused an alarm.
After the start alarm time has expired, an alarm will be saved in the alarm buffer,
shown in the alarm list and reported to the BACnet client as long as the alarm exists.

The advantage here is that these values will survive an application and

The output priority 1 “Manual Life Safety” represents the status of a local manual
override switch at the LON module (XFL and XFC modules). This information is read
from the Lon Module override switch after every start of the controller.
In principle, the value with the highest BACnet array priority (2 – 8) will be saved in

retentive RAM and will then be restored after restart, reset, or power failure of the
Eagle controller.
Reference Inputs
Start Starts with the ´Start Value` defined in CARE. Later the referencing input value will
be taken. For more information on the COV value, please refer also to the "Change
of Value Increment" and the "View / Edit Values" sections).
NOTE: Reference inputs are not visible in the Eagle Web Interface.
Reference inputs will try to subscribe COV. If the source device supports COV, COV
will be subscribed with a life-time of 1800 seconds, and will be re-subscribed every
900 seconds. If the source device does not subscribe COV, the source object (data-
point) will be polled.
In case the connected data point does not support COV, the poll rate set in CARE
defines the interval in sec, that the reference input polls the connected data point.
If the connected data point does support COV, then the poll rate has no effect.
So the poll rate does not ensure a fault signal within the poll rate time when a
connection is lost. In case of a loss of communication the fault flag will latest be set
after 30 minutes

ALARM HANDLING
Normal
Point is in normal operating state.
Off-Normal
Point value is out of normal range.
Fault
Point is prevented from proper operation. Point value can be in normal or out of
normal range. Due to the maloperation of the point, the value is unreliable.
Causes for a fault can be, for example sensor and cable breaks. See “Status Flag
indications for details.
High Limit
Point value has exceeded the high limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
analog inputs and outputs (see also Alarm range properties in the table below).
Low Limit
Point value has dropped below the low limit. Special case of the Off-Normal state of
analog inputs and outputs (see also Alarm range properties in the table below).
The alarm range of a datapoint is defined by the datapoint´s specific alarm range
properties.
Examples:
For information on the detailed alarm behavior of a particular point type, please refer
to the diagrams and descriptions in the following subsections.
Transition Events Whenever the event state of a datapoint changes, an alarm is generated by one of
the following transition events:
Back To-Normal
The alarm is going to normal operating state.
To Off-Normal
The alarm reaches off-normal state.
To Fault
The alarm originates in a (physical) fault such as sensor break, etc.
Any alarm caused by a transition event is indicated by the enabled ´Alarm` status
flag (see "Datapoint Status Flags" section).

Alarm Display / Alarm Notification A transition event is the triggering step that generates a notification which can be
rd
received by the BACnet client, the Eagle Web Interface or a 3 party BACnet client
for displaying alarms. To display a transition event of a datapoint on a BACnet client,
the following steps must have been done:
• Enable reporting of the event transitions by selecting the desired transition event
options in CARE (offline) or the BACnet client (online).
Transition Events are: Back To-Normal, To Off-Normal, To Fault
• Select Notify Type “Alarm” in CARE (offline).
• Enable “High Limit” and “Low Limit” in CARE (offline) or in the Eagle Web
Interface or via the BACnet client (online)
• Assigning a notification class to the datapoint (not necessary for the Eagle Web
rd
Interface, mandatory for BACnet client and 3 party BACnet clients only).

Datapoint Status Flags The event state of a datapoint is indicated by the enabled/disabled status flags:
In Alarm
When enabled, the datapoint is in alarm. Cause can be faults and Off-Normal
conditions.
Fault
When enabled, the datapoint or the physical input is not reliable, e.g. in case of
sensor break (Open Loop). See “Status Flag Indications” for details.
Overridden
When enabled, the datapoint is in manual operating state. The value has been
overwritten.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 86
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
Out of Service
When enabled, this flag indicates that the physical datapoint is decoupled from the
datapoint, e.g. in case of manual override for inputs. The present value displayed is
not the present value, which would be delivered by the physical input.
Example: A ´To-Fault transition` will also always enable the ´In Alarm` flag.
Hence both, the ´In Alarm` and the ´Fault` status flags are
enabled.
Alarm Buffer and Alarm Display For the various datapoints, different triggering criteria must be fulfilled before an
event is generated and reported (intrinsic reporting criteria). If all criteria are fulfilled,
the event/alarm is generated and displayed in the alarm list. Depending on the
datapoint type, the following three event types are described:
Datapoint type Event triggering criteria (intrinsic reporting criteria) Event type

NOTE: ´Feedback` value will be supported in a future
version of Eagle
Suppress Alarm Generation If the alarm delay is set to 100,000 seconds or higher, the alarm will be suppressed.
The ´In Alarm´ flag and the ´State` will not change, even if the alarm conditions are
reached. If the point is already in alarm state (Off-Normal) and the ´In Alarm` flag is
set and the alarm delay is changed to 100,000 seconds or higher, the state of the
point is set to ´Normal`.
Only the alarm conditions can be disabled with the alarm delay of 100,000 seconds
or higher.
Start Alarm Time The start alarm time is the time during which the notification of alarms is
suppressed. The start alarm time will become effective upon every start/restart of
the Eagle controller, e.g. power-on, application start, etc. Entering a start alarm time
is requested to prevent alarm shower at start/restart of the controller.
If alarms are still active after the start alarm time has elapsed, these alarms will be
notified as usual.
Alarm Delay Besides the datapoint´s specific alarm values, e.g. high and low limit of an analog
input, the alarm delay is important for the alarm behavior of all datapoint types.

This is done by creating, editing and deleting notification class objects. Notification
class objects will be assigned to datapoints in order to enable alarming for
datapoints.
About Notification Class Notification class objects represent and contain information required for the
Object Types distribution of event notifications within a BACnet system.
Notification Classes are useful for event-initiating objects that have identical needs
in terms of how their notifications should be handled, what the recipient(s) for their
notifications should be, and how they should be acknowledged.

NOTE: The CARE ranges slightly differ from the event / alarm priority ranges
defined in the BACnet standard which affects the associated network
priority (see “Alarm and Event Priority Classification” section below).
Back To-Normal
The alarm is going to normal state, that is, the value of the datapoint remains under
the high limit, or exceeds the low limit.
To Off-Normal
The alarm reaches off-normal state, that is, the datapoint value exceeds the high
limit, or remains under the low limit.
To Fault
The alarm originates in a fault such as sensor break, etc. See “Point Flag
Indications” for details.

Class object. In addition, each recipient has a FromTime and ToTime, which specify
a window, on those days of the week, during which the recipient is viable. If an event
that uses a notification class object occurs and the day is one of the days of the
week that is valid for a given recipient and the time is within the window specified for
the recipient, then the recipient shall be sent a notification. Recipients may be
further qualified, as applicable, by any combination of the three event transitions TO
OFF-NORMAL, TO FAULT, or TO NORMAL.
The recipient also defines the device to receive the notification and a process within
the device. Processes are identified by numeric handles that are only meaningful to
the recipient device. The administration of these handles is a local matter. The
recipient device may be specified by either its unique Device Object Identifier or its
BACnet Address. In the latter case, a specific node address, a multicast address, or
a broadcast address may be used. The recipient further specifies whether the
notification shall be sent using a confirmed or unconfirmed event notification.
How the notification class assignment is handled in CARE: please see the following

Alarm and Event Priority Classification Alarms and events traversing the BACnet network need prioritization to assure that
important information reaches its destination and is acted upon quickly. To assure
alarm prioritization at the network level, the network priority as defined in the

priority settings. The following table shows the alarm and event priorities
classifications including semantic meaning.
EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917 96
USER GUIDE EAGLE WEB INTERFACE
TIME PROGRAMS
Whenever you want, you can use schedules to enter the setpoint or status for any
datapoint.
Schedules are assigned to plants. Each plant of a controller can have multiple
schedules assigned and each schedule can command datapoints of that plant.
Schedules offer 16 write priorities that define the priority for writing to the present
value of output and value datapoints. Note, that only the priorities 9 to 16 are
allowed in the controller.
Besides the week program, specific programs called exceptions can be created.
Exceptions have higher priority than the week program and will overwrite the week
program for a definable time period. Exceptions can have four different time periods:
• Specific Date
e.g. Christmas Eve or 5.5., the whole of May, or the whole year of 2004
• Date Range
e.g. Summer holidays from 29.7-7.9.2004
• Recurring Event
e.g. every last Friday of every month
• Calendar Reference
A project-wide calendar provides dates, e.g. regional holidays and
public/religious festivals or any other particular date. The time period can be a
specific date, a date range or a recurring event.
Calendars Calendars are assigned to a whole project. They contain exception days or periods,
e.g. Christmas, holidays.
97 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
If controller schedules are referring to the same calendar(s), project wide scheduling
is possible for these controllers, because calendar dates are executed in each
controller of the project, which has references to the calendar. Changes in multiple
particular controller schedules can be quickly made by simply changing the
referenced calendar(s).
Switchpoints / Switched Properties By default, the property ´present value` is assigned to a datapoint. Hence, when
switching a datapoint, the present value of the datapoint is switched. This is the
standard case. In addition, in enhanced case, multiple datapoints and or other
properties than the present value can be switched.

TRENDING
Trending Trending can be performed via the Excel Web II HTML Interface residing on any PC
platform and via BACnet clients. Trend data is stored on the integrated Flash via
"Trend-log" objects. 3 Trend-log objects are set up by default for the BACnet and
LON statistics in the Excel Web II controller. 497 trend objects can be set up freely.
Per Trend-log object 10.000 trend records can be stored on the integrated Flash.
Trend data storage can be in ´Ringbuffer` mode or in ´Stop When Full` mode.
Trend data are dynamically created in the controller and can be saved and
downloaded as a .CSV file
Trend data have unlimited lifetime and survive a firmware download under the
following precondition:
• The trend object(s) must have been active at least 80 seconds before a firmware
download is executed, because only every 80 seconds online changes like trends
are saved into the Flash memory
Trend objects must be explicitly deleted via Eagle Web Interface or BACnet. This
deletes also the corresponding trend records. The trended object may be a local or
a reference point in the same controller and the trended property may be integer or
floating point, e.g. point value, point state, alarm limit, time stamp.
PLANTS
The Eagle application can comprise several plants. This is defined in the CARE
programming tool.
Plants are typically defined to match the controlled application, e.g. Air Conditioning
Plant, Boiler Room, Chillers, etc.
On plant level you can shutdown and restart the application which is running in the
corresponding controller. This is possible via the Eagle Web Interface and via
BACnet. In the Eagle Web Interface also the latest start and stop date is displayed.
CONTROL LOOPS
The data processing of the controller is programmed in control loops. Authorized
users, using the CARE software, define them. A control loop receives the input
values from sensors and other hardware or software components. The controller
calculates with these values and determines if a regulation is necessary. In such a
case, the controller initiates the predefined reaction by switching the connected
hardware or software.
• Functions
Functions are basic logic elements with which you can build macros. They cannot
be created, edited or removed.
• Macros in a plant
Macros are software modules programmed from functions. Macros in a plant are
available in a single plant. It is up to the user to create, edit or remove such
macros. The same macro can be used many times in a plant. If a macro in a
plant is changed, the macro change will appear in all instances of the macro in
this plant, but not in other plants.
• System Macros
Honeywell provides system Macros. They are available for all projects of the
Database. These macros are protected against editing and removing.
• Library Macros
99 EN2Z-0970GE51 R0917
EAGLE WEB INTERFACE USER GUIDE
Library Macros are project independent macros created by the user. The same
macro can be used many times in a library. If a macro in a library is changed, the
macro change will appear in all instances of the macro in this library, but not in
other libraries.
Parameters
Parameters are used for configuration and tuning of the application program via
control loops. A typical example of a parameter is the Integral Time of the PID
control function.
Parameters are part of a control icon which itself is part of a control loop which itself
is part of a plant, etc. Hence, the parameter can be described and addressed by its
path as follows:
• Name
• Value
• Engineering unit/state text (in the Eagle Web Interface only supported for control
macros, not for control functions)
SYSTEM SETTINGS
System settings include the following settings:
Diagnostics
Diagnostics allow trending and display of LON specific parameters such as:
• Transmission errors
• Lost messages
• Collisions
• Etc.
For trending LON parameters, basic settings such as start and stop time, trend
buffer values and enable/disable logging are defined.
Diagnostics also allow BACnet diagnostic (MS/TP statistics) by showing the actual
communication status on the BACnet bus and search for BACnet objects and
identifiers.
EMAIL ALARMING
Purpose Sending an email to a definable email-recipient in case of alarms of selectable
datapoints. Alarms may be generated for each datapoint that has the appropriate
notification class assigned and the alarm reporting enabled. The email includes an
attachment (.TXT) that shows a detailed description of the alarm data, for example:

EVENT ENROLLMENTS
The primary purpose for Event Enrollment objects is to define an event and to
provide a connection between the occurrence of an event and the transmission of a
notification message to one or more recipients.
The Event Enrollment object contains the event-type description, the parameters
needed to determine if the event has occurred (Algorithmic Change Reporting), and
a device to be notified. Alternatively, a Notification Class object may serve to identify
the recipients of event notifications. A device is considered to be "enrolled for event
Algorithmic change reporting enables a BACnet device to provide one or more alarm
or event sources, defined by Event Enrollment objects, to generate alarm or event
notifications that may be directed to one or more recipients. Any of the
standardized algorithms may be used to establish criteria for change reporting.
Once established, occurrences of change may be reported to one or more recipients
based on further criteria. Changes of value of specific properties of an object may be
programmed to trigger event notifications to be sent to one or more recipients based
on a notification class. Typically, event notifications are sent to application programs
represented by processes within a notification-client device. The object(s) whose
properties are referred to is known as the Reference Object(s). The criteria used to
ascertain that an event has occurred are determined by the Event Type, for
example, CHANGE OF BITSTRING, CHANGE OF STATE etc.

These certificates are self-defined end-entity certificates, which the Excel
Web II is signing and hence are insecure and not comparable to trusted
certificates from certification authorities.
When accessing the controller via web browser, there are 4 options how certificates
are applied and handled:
SECURITY NOTICE!
This kind of certificate is recommended for internet facing controllers
SECURITY NOTICE!
Self-signed certificates must not be used for internet-facing controllers,
because they are not secure. Users may consider using self-signed
certificates in secured networks, like VPN or closed networks, based
on their own security assessment.
HTTP Use of IP port 80. Non-repudiation. Not recommended, but HTTP is necessary for
special HTTP access solutions, that are not using web-browsers
and therefore cannot handle certificates.
Depending on the used browser, the steps are different when working with
certificates.
SECURITY NOTICE!
This kind of certificate is recommended for internet facing controllers.
Procedure 1. Setup a full qualified domain name for the controller, e.g. CPU1.customer.com.
This is typically done by applying your own dynamic DNS server.
2. Organize the CA certificate from the certification authority which includes the
following tasks:
4. Install the CA certificate via browser (see "Web Server Certificates" section).
This includes:
• CA intermediate certificate +
controller certificate + private Key
NOTE: Because the web browser connection is not secure at the time of the
installation (download), it is recommended to access the browser via
the local USB-B port connection of the controller.
SECURITY NOTICE!
Self-signed certificates must not be used for internet-facing controllers,
because they are not secure. Users may consider using self-signed
certificates in secured networks, like VPN or closed networks, based
on their own security assessment.
• Certificate created using any OpenSSL tool (e.g. XCA). The certificate consists of
a private key, root certificate and a derived certificate. The root certificate must
be imported into the web browser. The derived certificate must be downloaded
into the controller.
NOTE: Because the web browser connection is not secure at the time of the
download, it is recommended to access the browser via the local USB
connection of the controller.
Procedure 1. In CARE, create the certificate. This triggers the controller to create the
certificate and the private key.
RESULT: The web browser does not accept the self-signed certificate and
displays a warning. You must accept and install an untrusted
certificate.
RESULT: The behavior and URL display depends on the used browser and
its version. But, in every case, HTTPS communication will be
established and encryption is enabled.
When the following message displays in Internet Explorer after login, click Continue
to this website (not recommended).
After successful import, the "Certificate Error" warning remains and the URL is
displayed in red.
When the following message displays in Chrome after login, click Advanced.
In the address line, the warning remains after acknowledgement. The URL displays
"disabled https in red" but encryption is working.
When the following message displays in Firefox after login, click I Understand the
Risks.
In the Add Security Exception dialog box, click Get Certificate, and select the
certificate.
SECURITY NOTICE!
Self-signed certificates must not be used for internet-facing controllers,
because they are not secure. Users may consider using self-signed
certificates in secured networks, like VPN or closed networks, based
on their own security assessment.
Procedure 1. By using an OpenSSL Tool (e.g. XCA), create a root certificate and derived
certificate(s) for the controller(s).
2. Download the derived certificate(s) and the private key into the controller(s).
3. Download the root certificate into the web browser.
4. Access the controller via browser login using HTTPS.
The following table shows the various tasks to be done by the user dependant on
the applied certificates.

Calendars are assigned to a whole project. They contain exception days or periods,
e.g. Christmas, holidays. If controller schedules refer to the same calendar(s),
project wide scheduling is possible for these controllers; this is because calendar
dates are executed in each controller of the project, which has references to the
calendar. Changes in multiple particular controller schedules can be quickly made
by simply changing the referenced calendar(s).
View Calendars
Procedure 1. In the tree, expand the Advanced item and click on Calendars.

should be saved in the alarm buffer and in the alarm list.
Ackn.
Each transition will be acknowledged (checked) by default.
Last Transition
Shows the date when the last transition has occurred.
Off-Normal Conditions
Here you can define/change the conditions, which set off an Off-Normal event.
The Off-Normal conditions depend on the point type.
High Limit Enable (applies to AI, AO, AV, and PC datapoints only)
If a high limit is exceeded and this condition remains present for at least the
defined alarm delay (time), than an alarm of event type ´To-Off-Normal` is
set off. To set a high limit, click checkbox and enter value into the field.
Low Limit Enable (applies to AI, AO, AV, PC datapoints only)
If the present value falls below the low limit and this condition remains
present for at least the defined alarm delay (time), than an alarm of event
type ´To-Off-Normal` is set off. To set a high limit, click checkbox and enter
value into the field.
To set a low limit, click checkbox and enter value into the field.
Deadband (applies to AI, AO, AV datapoints only)
In order to set off an alarm of event type ´To-Off-Normal`, for at least the
defined alarm delay (time) the present value must remain within the range:
low limit plus deadband and high limit minus deadband.
Check the Alarm Value Enable checkbox and select desired value from the
drop-down list box.
For Multi-State Inputs and Multi-State Value datapoints you can define the
states which represent and set off an ´Off-Normal` and/or a ´Fault` event.
Each state can be set for setting off a ´To-Off-Normal` and/or a ´Fault` event.
For each state, check the conditions by clicking the corresponding radio button.
3. To view /edit datapoint values, click on the Values tab (see "View / Edit Values"
section.
Here you can manually override the present value, that is, switch between

the COV value.
Present Value
Here you can set the datapoint´s "operation mode", to auto or manual. In
addition the hardware reliability (sensor breaks), the characteristic and further
properties of the physical input is shown.
NOTE: When an AI datapoint is set into Manual mode and its value will be
overwritten, the ´overridden` and ´out of service` flag will be set (see
Status). The set out of service flag indicates that the datapoint is
decoupled from the physical input (sensor) to prevent a sensor value
from instantly overwriting the manual value in the next scan cycle.
NOTE: When an AO datapoint is set into Manual mode, its current value will
be overwritten by the manual value that has a higher priority (8). As
long as no other process of higher priority writes to the analog output,
the manual value is present. The overridden flag will be set (see
Status).
Characteristic
Shows the name of the characteristic
Resolution
Shows the resolution which defines the smallest recognizable change of the
present value. The smaller the value the more precise a value change can
be recognized.
Reliability

or not. Depending on the datapoint type, the following conditions may be
displayed:
NOTE:
For binary output datapoints, the reliability will work only if the service
type of the corresponding NVo in CARE is set to ´acknowledged`
Safety Value
Shows the safety value, to which the point will command the device in case
of communication failure or application stop
NOTE: The field will not be available in the HTML Interface and on the
controller HMI if the property is not selected in CARE.
Resolution
Shows the resolution which defines the sensitivity for value transmission
Reliability
Shows the reliability (see above)
Direct/Reverse
Shows the polarity (applies to BI and BO datapoints only)
The polarity indicates the relationship between the physical state of the input
and the logical state represented by the present value. If the polarity is
NORMAL, then the ACTIVE state of the present value is also the ACTIVE or
ON state of the physical input. If the polarity is REVERSE, then the ACTIVE
state of the present value is the INACTIVE or OFF state of the physical
Input.
Safety Position
You can select the position, to which the point will command the device in
case of communication failure or application stop (no response):
Analog Output:
-0%
- 50 %
- 100 %
device is commanded to the selected percentage value

safety alarm.
Fault
The datapoint or the physical input is not reliable, e.g. in case of sensor
break (Open Loop).
Overridden
Datapoint is in manual operation mode. Value has been overwritten.
Out of Service
Physical input is decoupled from the datapoint, e.g. in case of manual
override. The present value displayed is not the present value, which would
be delivered by the physical input.
− Normal Operation
Point is in normal operating state.
− Off-Normal Condition
Point value is out of normal range.
− Fault
Point is prevented from proper operation. Point value can be in normal or
out of normal range. Due to the maloperation of the point, the value is
unreliable.
Causes for a fault can be, for example sensor and cable breaks.
− Above High Limit
Point value has exceeded the high limit. Special case of the Off-Normal
state of analog inputs and outputs.
− Below Low Limit
Point value has dropped below the low limit. Special case of the Off-
Normal state of analog inputs and outputs.
Increment
Here you can enter/change the change of value increment (COV).
The COV Increment specifies the minimum change in present value that

The diagram illustrates, that the degree of execution of a control loop having a slow
cycle time category assigned, depends on the remaining time (=cycle time minus
execution time) provided by a control loop executed in very fast cycle time.
The target cycle time should not be exceeded during control loop execution. If a
category's execution time is permanently greater than the corresponding target
cycle time, the controller is overloaded and the target cycle time should be changed
by increasing it to higher values than the execution time.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to set the cycle times to values to between 30 % and
50 % higher than the execution times in order to make sure that control
loops having medium and slow cycle times assigned can be executed in
appropriate time.

Note that disabling IP-MSTP broadcast routing has the following side-effects:
• BACnet front-ends like EBI will no more be able to identify BACnet MSTP
devices and their objects.
This will become a problem after network disruptions and controller restarts
• The following synchronizations will no more take place:
− Calendar synchronization between IP channel and MSTP channel
− User synchronization between IP channel and MSTP channel
− Display of all bus-wide alarms of all controllers in the MSTP channel in
the web-browser interface

buffer size. Increasing the value above 2880 results in decreased
performance when viewing and browsing trend record pages and
creates additional effort when manually downloading trend records into
a csv. file on the PC (step 21).
The maximum no. of storable trend records per download is 1550
independent of the no. of trend log objects selected. To reduce the no.
of manual downloads necessary for the total download of trend records
exceeding the max. no. of 1550, the date range can be set accordingly
(step 19).
g. Under Set Buffer Type to, select the buffer type under:
Ringbuffer
The oldest record will be overwritten by the latest record when the buffer
size is exceeded.

NOTE: For the log interval setting, the following guideline should be
considered:
Example:
You have a trend setting of 40 trend log objects with 1 trend record per
minute plus 20 trend log objects with 1 trend record per 2 minutes.
The result is an addition of the values as follows:
d. Click the Start Date checkbox and enter the start date into the fields or select
date by clicking the BROWSE button.
e. In the Time fields enter the time.
NOTE:
If the checkbox is unchecked, the fields are disabled. This means, that trending
will be performed up to and including the end date.
f. Click the Stop Date checkbox and enter the end date into the fields or select
date by clicking the BROWSE button.
g. In the Time fields enter the time
NOTE:
If the checkbox is unchecked, the fields are disabled. This means, that trending

NOTE:
If both fields are disabled, trending will start immediately and continues all the
time.
If clicking the ENABLE LOGGING button enables the trend logging, the trending
starts as soon as the start date/time is reached and ends at stop date/time.
During trending the status is active as indicated as checked Active.
2 MB / 30 / 2880 = 24
IMPORTANT
Irrespective of the buffer size and the storage mode selected (internal
or external flash), it is recommended not to increase the default buffer
size. Increasing the value above 2880 results in decreased
performance when viewing and browsing trend record pages and
creates additional effort when manually downloading trend records
into a csv. file on the PC (step 21).
The maximum no. of storable trend records per download is 1550
independent of the no. of trend log objects selected. To reduce the no.
of manual downloads necessary for the total download of trend records
exceeding the max. no. of 1550, the date range can be set accordingly

General
Displays name and description of the control loop.
Cycle Information
• Cycle Time Category
The cycle time category defines in ms how often the loop will
be automatically executed by the controller. Cycle times are
grouped in the following categories: Slow, Medium, Fast, and
Very Fast.
• Last Execution Time
This is the actual execution time in ms of the loop. Allows,
e.g. detecting overruns by comparing the actual execution
time with the assigned cycle time.
• Priority for Writing
Displays priority with which the loop writes to the output.
Access Rights
Displays access rights.
NOTE:
Control loop information will only be displayed, if the access level of
the user is equal to or higher than the read access level of the
control loop.
Changing control loop information is only possible if the user´s
access level is equal to or higher than the write access level of the
control loop.
Parameters
Parameters are used for configuration and tuning of the application program via
control loop. A typical example of a parameter is the Integral Time of the PID control
function.
Parameters are part of a control icon which itself is part of a control loop which itself
is part of a plant, etc. Hence, the parameter can be described and addressed by its
path as follows:
• Name
• Value
• Engineering unit/state text
Parameters belong to control icons and define the icon behavior. Control icons will
be interconnected within a control loop that performs a control program. A control
loop itself can also have parameters. Control icons can internally be composed of
other icons (control macro). For example, a XFM is a control macro. Control macros
can have max. 4 internal control icons. It will not be distinguished between
parameters of input and output control icons. Parameters can be written to and read
from the control program. However parameters cannot be prioritized. The
parameters origin (location) will be shown as path with the following structure: plant-
control loop-control icon.
NOTE:
If no parameters are displayed, one of the following may be the reason:
A) You do not have the user rights to read control loops and parameters
or
B) All or some of the parameters have been intentionally engineered in CARE not to
be displayed in the Eagle Web Interface.
Procedure 1. In the tree, expand the Advanced item, then the Plants item and navigate to the

Email Alarming
Sending an alarm per email to a recipient is triggered by the notification class
defined for the datapoint.
Email addresses must be assigned to users (recipients) that should receive the
corresponding alarm emails and to notification classes.
Prerequisites With CARE, the controller settings including the email settings must have been
downloaded into the controller. The application must be running.
Procedure 1. In the tree, expand the Advanced item and click on User Administration.
2. On the right, click the User tab, and the click the user in the list.
4. In the Name field, enter the email address, and then click OK.
RESULT: The New User Profile dialog box redisplays. The email address
is added under E-Mail Address.
5. Click OK.
RESULT: On the User tab, the email address is assigned to the user as
displayed in the E-Mail Address column of the selected user.
8. Click the notification class that you want to apply for sending the email alarm,
for example, URGENT.
RESULT: The New / Edit E-Mail Address Assignment dialog box displays.
11. Choose options and enter values for the valid time period under From Time, To
Time, Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su.
12. Check the To-Off Normal, Back-to Normal, and/or To Fault transitions.
RESULT: The E-Mail Address Assignment tab redisplays. For the edited
notification class, the assigned email address and the selected
options are displayed in the respective columns.
17. Under Test E-Mail, enter the email address of the recipient in the Recipient
field and the subject in the Subject field. The recipient email address is
normally the same email address you have entered as Crash E-Mail Address
in CARE.
RESULT: Under E-Mail Status, the sending status is shown. Note that it
may take a few seconds due to the defined refresh interval of the
Eagle Web Interface. If the test was successful, the email status
shows ´Send Email successfully`. If the email was not sent
successfully, try to find out what the error is by checking the
procedure described in the previous steps. Correct the errors
and perform the test again.
19. Check your email box for the received test email.
Checking the E-Mail Alarming Enabled check box instantly enables the
controller sending emails when alarms occur.
NOTE: When firstly setting up the email alarming function, do not check this
option unless you have performed the email test. It is recommended to
check this option only when you are sure that the entered data are
correct and emails will be sent to the right recipient, by using the
existing and already tested ´email send path`.
Example:
21. On the E-Mail tab, change the E-Mail Send Repeat Time (Minutes) if desired.
After the time interval in minutes, entered here, the email is repeatedly sent to
the recipient. Check the Off checkbox, if you want to turn off the repeated
sending of emails, for example when using the Test E-Mail function. Turning off
the option may result in the loss of particular emails if the first attempt of
sending the email has failed.
22. In the tree, click Alarms, and then click E-Mail Alarming tab on the right to view
the email transmission result. Under Last E-Mail Transmission Result, the
following data are shown:
E-Mail Status
Shows the status of the last sent email, for example ´Send Email Successfully`
or ´Send Email Status Not Available`.
TimeStamp
Shows the date and time of the last email status.
Under E-Mail Alarm Send Queue, emails are listed which, for some reason,
have not been sent yet. The emails are shown with the following properties:
To(Recipient)
Shows email address
Subject
Shows <Alarm><datapoint name>
Timestamp
Total Alarms in E-Mail
Shows the number of alarms included in the email
Notification Class
Shows the notification class
The active setting can be checked by collecting the diagnosis files using the FTP
diagnosis tool. If remote devices are ignored, the file ´BACnetDevList` should not
contain MS/TP devices.
NOTE: If the entry ´IgnoreRemoteDevices` has been changed, the controller must
be restarted in order to apply the changes.
Voltage drop
• Restart of the controller.
On the physical controller this is not visible.
• BACnet client indicates ´Controller Offline`.
LON bus not accessible, LON cable break, or LON node not available
Identifying LON communication failures must be done in the application, for
example, by using one datapoint of the module that represents the LON module.
The datapoint alarm created due to the LON failure is displayed in the BACnet alarm
list.
Execution time slowly Too many COV Notifications Increase COV Hysteresis
decreasing
Change BACnet client´s tuning
parameter:
Sample period to use COV / RPM
to force less COVs and more
RPMs
Execution time not Unknown
decreasing Continue with action 2.
2. Unplug Ethernet Execution time Load comes from COV of point Increase COV Hysteresis of point
decreasing references
Execution time not Application too big for required
decreasing cycle time -> increase cycle time.

The following describes the controller boot and watchdog behavior process.
If the watchdog is not triggered within 20 sec, a cold boot will happen.
NOTES:
The watchdog does not "supervise" the CARE application, it "supervises" the
Operating System of the Eagle controller.
Controller Restart
NOTE: A controller restart (power-cycle or re-boot) will stop logging and will erase
all logging data, since logging data is only stored temporarily ("temp"
folder) in order to avoid endless logging and accumulation of huge log files.
