FG 32 DDC – pre release user guide – V1.4

Introduction

We are getting ready to release our new FG series of Controllers, starting with the EasyIOFG32 DDC
controller, product reference: EasyIO-FG-GC-32.

It is equipped with two 32-bit Processors, the first in the Automation industry, with an ARM9 200
MHz Samsung processor, an ARM M3 Cortex for the I/O management and A-D processing, and also
with a Linux 2.6 OS for premium performance. Later in 2013 we will be adding Graphics capability to
serve up html templates that will be stored on the Micro SD card. BACnet and Modbus will also be
added in 2013. TCOM is available now and is encouraged for premium performance with Niagara.

•

The Build bootloader can now be carried out remotely. No more manual service button
needed is used.

•

Firmware upgrading now can be done remotely and without any assistant.

•

Firmware upgrading is via ftp client.

•

In this user guide is just a pre-release internal use user guide.

Note: Information in this document is accurate at the time of documented. Actual information may
change/defer without notice.

Connecting to FG32 Sedona DDC via Sedona workbench

In order to connect to the new EasyIO FG32 DDC, some files are needed. EasyIO FG32 has a different
sedona platform, files and kits. These kits are hardware dependent.

Follow the below instructions before connecting to the controller via Sedona Workbench.

Install platform files and kits files

Step 1

Get the required files from easyIO technical support at

support@easyio.com

Step 2

Close the workbench.
Open sedona folder in the Niagara installation directory;

Niagara Version

Sedona directory

Niagara Ax 3.5.xx

Niagara\niagara 3.5.xx\sedona\

Niagara Ax 3.6.xx

Niagara\niagara 3.6.xx\sedonaBundles\sedona
1.1.xx\sedona\

Niagara Ax 3.7.xx

Niagara\niagara 3.7.xx\sedona\

Step 3

Copy and merge the 2 folders that obtain from easyIO technical support.

The 2 folders are :

platform

and

kits

For Niagara Ax 3.5 User go to

step 4.

For Niagara Ax 3.6 User go to

step 5.

For Niagara Ax 3.7User go to

step 6.

Step 4

For Niagara Ax 3.5.xx user. Drag and drop it in to the sedona root folder. Hit “Yes” on the pop up to
merge the files.

Step 5

For Niagara Ax 3.6.xx user. Drag and drop it in to the sedona root folder. Hit “Yes” on the pop up to
merge the files.

Step 6

For Niagara Ax 3.7.xx user. Drag and drop it in to the sedona root folder. Hit “Yes” on the pop up to
merge the files.

Step 7

Re-open workbench and connect to EasyIO FG32 controller.

EasyIO FG32 details are as below.

Sedona Login
Username

: admin

Password

: <no password>

Default IP address

: 192.168.10.11

Default Subnet

: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway

: 0.0.0.0

Note :
In order to login, the host PC (laptop) has to be in the same subnet.
Example:
IP address :  192.168.10.123
Subnet       :  255.255.255.0

Troubleshoot

In order to make sure all the files are copied correctly into the directory, follow below checklist to

verify all the files are in place.

Checklist point 1.

Platform file is in the platform folder.

Checklist point 2.

2 additional kits are in the kits folder.

easyioFG

and

easyioFGDDC.

Changing IP address

By default the controller IP address is at 192.168.10.11.
Changing the IP address can only be done via sedona workbench at the moment.

Step 1

“IP”

under the sedona service folder.

Step 2

Go into the property sheet of the “IP” object.

Current IP address that is assign to
the controller

New IP address field. Keyin the
requires IP address in these fields.
Make sure the IP address and
subnet is correct before saving.

Step 3

Save the sedona apps and cycle power.

Step 4

Reconnect to the sedona via Sedona workbench with the new assigned IP address.

Restoring FG32 back to default apps

At the moment, there are 2 ways to restore the sedona apps for FG32 controller.

The first way is where you could still gain access to the controller via sedona workbench. By
manually selecting all the objects and delete it. The “

SAVE

” action is needed.

Then a reboot or restart of the VM will erase all the objects in the sedona apps.

The second way of restoring the FG32 back to default apps is via ftp client software. This way can be
use as well if the FG32 sedona VM is not connectable and the controller keep rebooting due to some
incompatible sedona apps loaded.  When this happen, the watchdog will kick in and will not allow
the sedona VM to boot at all, hence a rebooting cycle will occur.

Note :

A easyIO 30P sedona apps CANNOT be loaded into the easyio FG32 as the sedona apps from a 30P
backup is hardware dependent. Doing so will corrupt the FG32 sedona VM and the controller will
keep rebooting the sedona VM, hence the controller is not accessible via Sedona Workbench.

If the rebooting cycle occurs, the status LED will blinks for fast for a few times then light up steady for
approx 10 seconds.

If the above note happen, follow the below steps to regain sedona connection. Below steps can be
use for restoring the FG32 to default apps as well.

Email to

support@easyio.com

to request for the FG32 default apps.

FG 32 DDC – pre release user guide – V1.4

Step 1

Refer to page 8, jumpers settings locate the “

watchdog jumpers settings”.

Disable the watchdog by

shorting pin 2 and 3.
If the watchdog is disable, the device should be able to run the ICMP command (Ping).

Skip step 1 and step 2 if the controller is not in rebooting cycle mode.  Refer to above note for
rebooting cycle mode.

Step 2

Power off the controller and let it discharge for about 5 seconds and power it up again. The
rebooting cycle will end. The controller will boot up and the status LED will blink approx 2 blinks per
second with a short pause.

Step 3

Open any ftp client software, in this case “filezilla”.

Login details to FG32 build in FTP server as below;

IP address :

this is the last IP address that the FG32 had. Default is at 192.168.10.11

Username :

root

Password :

1234

Port :

Step 4

Unzipped the backup file email by easyIO tech support.

Step 5

Transfer the app.sab and kit.scode in to the FG32 “mnt ” folder. MNT folder is at the root of the
FG32 directory.

Overwrite the existing files in the FG32.

FG 32 DDC – pre release user guide – V1.4

Step 6

After transfer is successful, cycle power of the controller and re-enable the watchdog jumpers(refer
page 8).

Step 7

Connect to the FG32 via sedona workbench. If above steps done correctly, sedona workbench
connection will be good.
