Echelon Enterprise Services 2.0 User’s Guide 3
Each time the source data point in the Web connection is updated, the data log file is downloaded to
the LonWorks\iLON\EnterpriseServices\repository\ees-lnsproxy\ReceivedFiles folder on your
computer. You can manually update the source data point using the Show Value dialog, the Data
Points: View Web page, a custom SmartServer Web page, or other method. You can also program
updates to the source data point using the SmartServer’s built-in applications (Scheduler, Type
Translator, and so on), a custom embedded application (freely programmable module [FPM]), or a
SOAP application.
To use fast data log transfer, you do the following:
1. Verify that the device resource files for the subject data points are installed on the EES 2.0
computer. You can install the standard L ON M ARK resource files 3.14.02 on your EES 2.0
computer by installing the Echelon NodeBuilder Resource Editor from the i.LON SmartServer 2.0
DVD (see Installing Echelon NodeBuilder Resource Editor in Chapter 2 for how to do this). You
can manually copy any user-defined resource files to the LonWorks\types\user\<company>
folder on your EES 2.0 computer.
2. Create a Web connection between the SmartServer and the LNS Proxy Web service running on
your EES 2.0 computer.
3. Add a Data Logger to your SmartServer and configure it.
4. Attach a data log file to the Web connection.
5. Configure a method for triggering updates to the source data point in the Web connection to which
the data log file is attached.
6. View the extracted data log files.
See Chapter 8, Data Logging, in the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide for details on these steps.
LNS Device Templates
You can now create device templates in the LNS tree of the SmartServer Web interface. With LNS
device templates, you can configure a device in an LNS network, save it to a template (.XML file) that
is stored on your computer, and then use the device template to create new devices in any LNS
network in the LNS tree that have a specific pre-defined configuration. You can also configure the
LNS device templates so that devices created from the templates are automatically installed by the
LNS Proxy Web service after they are instantiated. For more information on using device templates,
see Chapter 4 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide.
To create an LNS device template and then create a new device from the template, follow these steps:
1. To automatically install devices created from the device template, follow these steps:
a. Erase the Neuron ID of the source device. To do this, right-click the source device, point to
Manage, and then click Release Neuron ID in the shortcut menu. This decommissions the
source device.
b. Logically detach the network interface from the network. To do this, click Driver, click the
network in the navigation pane, clear the Use Network Interface check box in the Setup –
LON Network Driver Web page, and then click Submit. This prevents the SmartServer
from associating a Neuron ID with the device template when you complete step d.
c. Open the source device’s Setup – LON Device Driver Web page. To do this, click Driver
and then click the source device in the navigation pane.
d. Select the Neuron ID check box. This enables the SmartServer to automatically acquire the
Neuron ID of devices created from the device template using device discovery.
e. Select the Smart Network Management check box at the top of the Web page. This sets the
network management commands required to commission the device and set it online.
f. Click Submit.
