8.2 Updating a LonWorks Network in TAC XBuilder
After you have made changes to the devices in the LonWorks network,
the XBuilder project must be updated to reflect the changes; for exam-
ple, if you have downloaded an application from Vista to one of the
devices to which you have added some signals.
8.2.1 Updating a LonWorks Network in TAC XBuilder
In the following example a new application has been downloaded to the
RTU4 device, so the changed device needs to be updated.
To update a LonWorks network in TAC XBuilder
1 Ensure that Vista server has been started and is running the net-
work you want to update.
2 In XBuilder, in the network pane, right-click the LON object. In
the example, IP Backbone-TAC_Xenta_913-LON.
3 Click Insert Network from TAC Vista.
4 Log in to Vista server.
5 In the Select dialog box, browse to the required network level. In
the example, the VistaSRV1-LTA_1-ACME_Inc-2nd_floor.
6 Click the required device and then click Open. In the example,
RTU4.
The signals in the device, including the new ones, are now available in
your XBuilder project.
Caution
• If you have previously made changes to signals in the network
pane, for example changed units of signals, these changes are
overwritten with the original settings from the application in the
device you want to update.
• Schneider Electric recommends that you do not make changes to
objects in the network pane.
