Excel E-Vision Configuration Files
Ver. 1.1
SOFTWARE RELEASE BULLETIN
A. PART NUMBER: 14800317-002, Version 1.1 (General Release)
Software Identifier S592
B. DESCRIPTION: Excel E-Vision Configuration Files are a set of controller-specific scripted profiles for the new
Excel 10 controllers. These files were created using E-Vision’s internal scripting language and
are used with E-Vision to configure, commission, check out, and calibrate the Excel 10 family of
controllers.
Excel E-Vision Configuration Files also include CARE backup plants which are copied to the
appropriate CARE directory. These CARE backup plants are used to facilitate automatic
mapping of Excel 10 points between CARE and E-Vision. This simplifies the programming of E-
bus to C-bus communications.
The Excel E-Vision Configuration files included in this release support the following:
Excel 10 Constant Volume Air Handling Unit (CVAHU)
T7780A Digital Display Wall Module (DDWM)
Excel 10 Variable Air Volume Box Controller (VAV)
Excel 10 Fan Coil Unit Controller (FCU)
Excel 10 Unit Vent Controller (UV)
Excel 10 Remote Input Output Device (RIO)
Excel E-Vision Configuration Files require the installation of Excel E-Vision (S1094).

You can use any of the standard Windows methods to execute the file, for example, open
File Manager, double-click the drive name (for example, A:), find SETUP.EXE in the
directory listing, and double-click SETUP.EXE. Or, click menu item File in the Program
Manager window, then drop-down item Run. Type SETUP.EXE and click OK.
RESULT: Setup begins by displaying a message that it is preparing an installation wizard.
A Welcome screen follows that displays a reminder that you need to exit all
Windows programs and turn off any anti-virus software.
5. Read the instructions on the screen and make the appropriate installation choices.
In general, Setup displays a series of screens that prompt for information and provide
<Back, Next>, and Cancel buttons to navigate between the screens.
Click the Next> button on the next few screens and read the displayed information. Continue
until you see the Script Selection screen.
RESULT: The Script Selection window appears with a list of the Excel 10 controller
configuration files that are available for installation.

SOFTWARE
REPLACED: 14800317-001, Version 1.1 (Controlled Release)
O. OPEN ISSUES: Excel 10 Constant Volume Air Handling Unit - W7750
The set point knob high and low limits, as well as the current set point knob position, do not
show the correct values for mapping, subsystem data, or E-Vision monitor mode. This only
affects a set point knob configured to be Relative with English units. The software tools use the
absolute temperature conversion, rather than the relative units conversion for displaying the
values. It is recommended that all English unit systems use the absolute value setpoint knob
models.
Excel 10 Digital Display Wall Module - W7780
Conflicts may arise when referring a digital display wall module to other Excel 10 devices. The
status points mapped from the Excel 10 devices to the wall module may also be needed for
viewing on the XBS Workstation. However, E-Vision does not currently allow a network variable
to be mapped and referred simultaneously.
Excel 10 Fan Coil Unit - W7752
1. The set point knob high and low limits, as well as the current set point knob position, do not
show the correct values for mapping, subsystem data, or E-Vision monitor mode. This only
affects a set point knob configured to be Relative with English units. The software tools use
the absolute temperature conversion, rather than the relative units conversion for displaying
the values. It is recommended that all English unit systems use the absolute value setpoint
knob models.
2. Decommissioning an FCU controller as part of a group of
controllers may cause E-Vision to display the "failed--update domains" warning. Reselect
the affected controllers and select decommission again.
3. The FCU changes the value of the user address DestManOcc
to NUL when the Bypass mode timer has counted down to zero. The zone manager value
for this user address will remain commanded to Bypass, while the Monitor mode and
subsystem data will display the NUL value. The other controller types leave the
DestManOcc user address in the Bypass state when the bypass timer reaches zero. It is
important to note that all controller types resume normal operation after the bypass timer
expires. The changing of this value to NUL by the FCU is simply a superficial difference
from the other XL10 controller types.
Excel 10 Remote I/O - W7761
The Diagnostic.Testmode for RIO does not work properly when commanding Digital Outputs.
The controller is not put into a Manual mode where the normal network variable inputs are
ignored. This means that communications coming from other controllers, such as a Zone
Manager, will still command the Digital outputs. A user in RIO testmode might command a
digital output to OFF, and the Zone Manager could override that order and command that output
to ON. For this reason, RIO wiring of outputs could be best tested from the Zone Manager, or
another commanding controller.
Excel 10 Unit Ventilator - W7753
1. The set point knob high and low limits, as well as the current set point knob position, do not
show the correct values for mapping, subsystem data, or E-Vision monitor mode. This only
affects a set point knob configured to be Relative with English units. The software tools use
the absolute temperature conversion, rather than the relative units conversion for displaying
the values. It is recommended that all English unit systems use the absolute value setpoint
knob models.
2. For the Unit Vent, fan overrun (or "run-on") times can be specified within a pre-determined
range of values. This is done in the Application Selection dialog box under the Equipment
Control tab. If the range is exceeded, an out-of-range warning appears. The problem is that
the warning can remain after the value has been brought back into the acceptable range.
Continue with the application as though the warning was not there.
Excel 10 VAV2 Controller - W7751
The set point knob high and low limits, as well as the current set point knob position, do not
show the correct values for mapping, subsystem data, or E-Vision monitor mode. This only
affects a set point knob configured to be Relative with English units. The software tools use the
absolute temperature conversion, rather than the relative units conversion for displaying the
values. It is recommended that all English unit systems use the absolute value setpoint knob
models.
