2. Under
LonWorks Network, select the Update Location Path and ID in Devices check box (this
option is only available if at least one of the subsystem recovery options is selected). Click Next.
The Choose Synchronization Scope dialog appears.
3. Select the subsystems and drawing files to update.
4. Click Finish. The Synchronization Status dialog opens and the LonMaker tool begins updating
the subsystem data in the devices within the specified network scope.
5. When the synchronization operation has been completed, click OK.
Using Subsystem Paths
If you select the Set SCPT Location Value to Subsystem Path option, the LonMaker tool stores the
subsystem path in the SCPTlocation configuration property of application devices when they are
commissioned. The LonMaker tool automatically updates the subsystem path stored in SCPTlocation
when the application device is moved. If you set the Update all Devices when Subsystem Name is
Modified option in the network properties: Recovery options category to Yes, the LonMaker tool also
automatically updates the subsystem path of the device when you move or rename its subsystem.
If you do not import a CSV file that includes the subsystem location data for an application device, the
recovery wizard places application devices in the subsystem path specified in the SCPTlocation
configuration property. If the device also has a subsystem ID, the recovery wizard will link the
subsystem path to it so that all devices with same subsystem ID but no subsystem path can be placed in
that subsystem path.
Tip:
To optimize the accuracy of the network recovery, keep subsystem paths under 32 characters. If you
are storing subsystem IDs in the SCPTlocation configuration property of devices and you commission
a device that has a subsystem path longer than 31 characters, the LonMaker tool truncates the
subsystem path to fit within 31 characters. This may result in the recovery wizard losing part of the
subsystem path, which may cause the device to be moved to a parent subsystem.
