The document discusses the Niagara4 Technical Certification Program, including testing procedures and expectations. It also provides instructions for completing a certification lab which involves configuring device access using the hierarchy service and saving the work.

The certification program is designed to measure the level of knowledge gained by candidates through the Niagara4 technical training. It seeks to ensure all candidates have an equivalent opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and prevent some from gaining an unfair advantage.

To configure the hierarchy service, a QueryLevelDef needs to be dragged from the palette and dropped onto the desired hierarchy. It then needs to be defined to query the appropriate tags to display the required data points.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Identification and Security


This certification lab is designed to measure the level of knowledge that has
been gained by the TCP candidate by the end of the Niagara4 technical
training experience. The Tridium Training Staff seeks to ensure that all
candidates have an equivalent opportunity to demonstrate their ability and
prevent some test takers from gaining an unfair advantage over others. In
keeping with this goal, Tridium reserves the right to cancel any test score if, in
our judgment, there is an apparent discrepancy in the authenticity of the test
booklet, there is a testing irregularity, or there is substantial evidence that the
test score is invalid for another reason.

TCP candidates are expected to follow testing instructions given by the test
supervisor. Candidates may have their scores canceled if they:

 attempt to remove from the test room any part of a test booklet or any notes
relating to the test (on paper or in electronic format)

 attempt to communicate information about the test to another person in any


form including electronic

 attempt to take the test for another person

 during the test, give assistance to another candidate or receive assistance from
anyone other than the test supervisor or proctor

 create a disturbance

If a testing irregularity occurs, Tridium reserves the right not to score the lab
test and to cancel that lab test score.

Invalid Test Booklets. All test booklets are assigned to the candidate on the
date they sit for the certification test. A test booklet is considered invalid if it
has been altered in such a way as to give the candidate an unfair advantage
over others.

Invalid Test Scores. Should Tridium become concerned that a lab test score
may be invalid for any reason, we will notify the candidate as soon as
administratively possible. Before Tridium cancels a test score based on sound
evidence of an irregularity, we will offer the candidate a free retest.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

S AV E , AND S AV E O F T E N
Although the Platform may periodically save the running station, you should
manually initiate a station save after completing any significant lab exercise. The
icon shown below will remind you to save your work.

Saving frequently is a simple safeguard against unnecessary loss of work / rework.

B AC K U P YO U R P L AT FO R M
In addition to the frequent reminders to save your station, you will also be
periodically reminded to BackUp your JACE Platform. A Backup copy of the
Platform includes a copy of the Station, but also includes copies of all files upon
which the Station depends.

The Best Practice, during this Test as well as in the field, is to always create a
BackUp copy of each platform that you reconfigure. Equipped with both a Station
Copy and a Platform BackUp you will be able to restore your work in almost every
case.

W H E N YO U ARE DONE
When you have completed the certification lab, return this booklet to the test
supervisor. After submitting your work, please leave the testing room so that you do
not disturb other students that are still working.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

5.3 Ping to enable communication between the CertLab station running on


your JACE and the N4Supervisor station. The instructor will enable the
connection from the Supervisor end. (Please remember that you should
not work in the supervisor station).

6 SCHEDULING.

Create a new folder under Config and name it Schedules.


6.1 Create a Boolean Schedule called Occupancy for occupancy control. Set
up the schedule for Monday to Thursday occupancy (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM)
and Fridays (8:00 AM to 3:00 PM). The schedule should output
“Occupied” during scheduled occupied hours. Set the default to
“Unoccupied.”
6.2 Create a Calendar Schedule object to define the following holidays:
New Year’s Day
Christmas Day (December 25)
At least two other holiday(s) of your choosing.
6.3 In each of the schedules you just created, create a special event that
references this holiday Calendar Schedule. Define each schedule's output
for these events to be Occupied from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Ensure that
the systems are in an unoccupied state for the remainder of the day.

7 LIGHTING CONTROL.

7.1 Create a new folder under Config and name it OfficeLighting.

7.2 Tags: As you create the Lighting System control logic, tag the appropriate
objects (use your judgment here) by selecting from the following tags in
the Haystack Tag Dictionary:
lights lighting
lightsGroup equip
7.3 Create the control logic necessary to control the lights in two separate
office spaces.

7.4 Turn the lights On or Off based on time of day and day of the week by
linking the office lights to the Occupancy schedule created earlier. (Link to
the boolean schedule you created earlier in the schedules folder)

7.5 Provide the occupant with a separate historical trend for each of the office
lighting objects to establish a record of On/Off events.

7.6 Configure the application so that the histories collect data ONLY during
unoccupied hours.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

8 VENT FAN RUNTIME / RUNTIME RESET.

8.1 Create a new folder under Config and name it Ventilation.


8.2 Tags: As you create the control logic, tag the appropriate objects (use
your judgment here) by selecting from the following Haystack tags:
hvac air equip
8.3 Create an object that represents a single-speed fan motor.
8.4 Extend the functionality of the fan object to accumulate runtime for the
fan motor.
8.5 Configure the fan object so that the accumulated runtime displays as a slot
on the fan point.
8.6 Configure the fan object so that the accumulated runtime can be reset to
Zero by invoking a command from the Action menu.
8.7 Link the fan object to the Occupancy Schedule so that the ventilation
system is moving air whenever the building is occupied.

9 CLOSED LOOP DAMPER ACTUATOR CONTROL.

9.1 Create these objects in the ventilation system folder.


9.2 Tags: As you create the control logic, tag the appropriate objects (use
your judgment here) by selecting from the following Haystack tags:
hvac air temp
damper equip
9.3 Create a simple PID loop application using the following specs:
The controlled variable is room temperature. This control point is
simulated with a ramp object, and cycles between 64F [17C] and 80F
[27C] in a two-minute time period.
The setpoint is maintained at 72F [22C] during the occupied period of
the day, and 68F [26C] all other times.
Operators can temporarily modify the setpoint as needed, without a
permanent change to the Setpoint schedule. In other words, whenever
a normally scheduled change to the Setpoint occurs, any Overrides to
the Setpoint object should be released.
The loop action is direct, with the proportional constant set to 6.25,
and a bias of 50. (The goal is to drive the dampers fully open at 80F
[27C] and fully closed at 64F [18C] during occupied hours.)
The output of the loop controls a damper actuator in the range of 0 -
100% damper position. The damper actuator object should default to
20% damper position if the loop fails to provide a valid control signal
(default value).

persistent changes to these gauges.
10.4 Add a graphical representation of damper position using a widget from
the kitPxHvac collection, superimposed on a section of ductwork.
10.5 Allow the loop to modify damper position and observe this action on the
dashboard. Verify that the charts and the gauges are functional.
10.6 Using no additional control logic on the wiresheet, provide a button on the
Dashboard that will override the Damper to the fully open position (100%)
for 30 minutes without prompting the user to input information.
10.7 Provide a mechanism that allows operators to temporarily modify the
System Setpoint.
10.8 Observe the effect of the override action on the system variables that are
being monitored. Provide labels as needed to ensure that operators can
understand what is being displayed, as well as all control options.

11 ALARMING.
11.1 Locate the Room Temp object created in the ventilation system above.
11.2 Program the Room Temp object to generate a high alarm notification
when the value rises above 79F [26C] and a low alarm notification when
the value drops below 65F [18C]. Observe that the change in status
actually manifests itself on the wiresheet and property sheet views.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

17.6 Disconnect from the station, and Log In as yourname. You have been
assigned the admin role. Study the Hierarchy. Test / Verify the
functionality of the User Interface:

Note: As an admin user, you should see the All_Controllers hierarchy.

17.7 Open the Role Manager view and edit the Operator Role, assigning
All_Controllers as a viewable Hierarchy. The Hierarchy should give the
Facility Manager easy access to all devices (Niagara, BACnet and Lon).

17.8 Open a Web Browser to your station (IP Address of your JACE) and Log
In as FacMan. Test / Verify the functionality of the User Interface:

Note: The FacMan user should now have access to the hierarchy. If you
do NOT see a list of controllers on the All_Controllers hierarchy tree, you
need to figure out why before you proceed!

17.9 Using the Workbench (you are still logged in as yourname, an admin user)
open the Property Sheet view of the Hierarchy Service.

17.10 From the hierarchy palette, Drag a QueryLevelDef from the palette and
drop it directly onto the All_Controllers hierarchy. No need to rename the
QueryLevelDef. Define QueryLevelDef1 to Query the Niagara tag n:point.

17.11 Using the Web Browser, Logged into your station as FacMan, Test / Verify
the functionality of the User Interface.

Note: You may need to Refresh the hierarchy. Verify that the changes to
the Hierarchy result in the appropriate display of data points.

17.12 Using the Workbench, logged in as yourname, edit QueryLevelDef1 to add


another tag that will reduce the number of points on the hierarchy. Query
both the Niagara tag n:point and the Haystack tag hs:hvac.

17.13 Using the Web Browser, Logged into your station as FacMan, Test / Verify
the functionality of the User Interface.

17.14 From the Browser UI, execute a Search on the tag hs:hvac in order to
verify the results that you documented above. The results of the Hierarchy
query should be the same as the results of the Search query.

Note: You may choose to add the Haystack tag hvac to a few more data
points in order to force FacMan’s User Interface to display the data that a
Facility Manager needs in order to accomplish daily tasks.

17.15 Return to the Workbench and log back in as yourname so that you can
finish programming the customer’s system.
