10.17 Set Up Global Data

In a network with multiple E2s, it is often the case that

certain sensors or transducer values will need to be used

by all E2s. A good example of this is outside air tempera-

ture. There is no real need for every E2 to have its own

outside air temperature sensor, and therefore it would be

beneficial if a single sensor could be used by all E2s on the

network.

Navigate to the Global Data screen from the Main

Menu:

1. Press

 (System Configuration)

2. Press

 (Global Data) to open the Global Data

Status screen.

3. Press  (Setup) to open the Global Data

Setup screen.

The Global Data feature is an enhanced method of

effectively distributing commonly used input values

between multiple E2s. Sensors such as outdoor tempera-

ture and outdoor humidity are set up on an E2 as Global

Data inputs. This E2 then becomes the “provider” of the

global sensor values to all other Global Data applications

on the E2.

As a result, a single sensor can be used by any applica-

tion in any E2 on the network.

Unless you program it otherwise, the E2 always

assumes you will be using Global Data in all your applica-

tions. When you create new applications in the E2, it will

always automatically connect the appropriate application

inputs (except for the spares) to their corresponding

Global Data outputs.

10.17.1 Priority Settings

When selecting the priority for a global sensor input,

there are four settings to choose from.

Primary Primary inputs are the highest priority

inputs. If a sensor is set up with a primary priority, it

is recognized by all Global Data applications on the

network as the highest priority. The primary provider

sends this input value to the other Global Data appli-

cations in the other E2s, and each E2 immediately

sends that value to all of its own applications that use

the Global Data input.

Only one input of each type may be designated as a

primary on the E2 Network. In other words, if one E2

is acting as the primary provider of the global Out-

door Air Temp, no other E2 on the network may have

a global Outdoor Air Temp sensor with a “primary”

priority.

If using this priority setting, you must enter board and

point settings.

Secondary Sensors that are set up with secondary

priorities are backup sensors that will be used by all

Global Data applications if the primary sensor fails.

If a global input is set up on an E2 with a secondary

priority, the E2 will not send its value to the other

Global Data applications as long as it is receiving a

primary value of that type from another E2 on the

network. If a secondary provider does not receive a

primary value update at least once every five min-

utes, the secondary provider will assume the primary

sensor has failed, and it will send the secondary

value to all other Global Data applications on the net-

work. These applications will then use the secondary

value in place of the failed primary value.

Secondary providers will continue to send the input
