Import SI400 Configuration Files

  • The valid SI400 configuration files are available locally or over the network.
  1. To speed configuration, set the transaction mode to simple. See Switching the Transaction Mode for SI400 Sintony.
  1. In System Browser, select Project > Field Networks > [BACnet Network] > [SI400].
  1. In the Import tab, click Browse to select the configuration file.
  • The configuration file is checked for errors and the Analysis Log button becomes available to show the check log.
  • If the configuration file is valid, the configuration file to import displays in the Source Items list.
  1. (Optional) In the Hierarchies Mapping expander, drag an additional hierarchical structure (physical and/or logical according to the database contents) from the System Browser position where you want to import.
    NOTE: Carefully select and link the node to the correct position as you cannot change it later. The only way to modify the additional import setting is to delete the destination node and create it again.
  1. In the Source Items list, select the configuration file and click the single selection button .

NOTICE
Objects limit in a project

Based on the hardware category of the installation, there is a limit to the number of objects a project can have.
- The system prevents you from performing imports that would exceed this limit.
- The system warns you if an import would approach this limit (90% or more of allowed objects). You can then choose whether to proceed.
- In a single XNET Network, the maximum number of XINC modules supported is 4. If the number is higher, the system warns you that you may experience performance and instability problems.
- In a single XNET Network monitored by the WAN driver, the maximum recommended number of panels is 5; exceeding this number may result in degraded performance. The maximum number of panels supported is 12; beyond that, the configuration is not supported and we recommend that you contact support.

NOTICE
Incorrect Interpretation of Messages

After first import, if the panel configuration is modified, you will need to import the configuration file again to align Desigo CC. Failing to import the latest configuration file may result in an incorrect interpretation of field messages. An Unidentified event is generated in all cases when a message is received with no corresponding data point.
