Issue
During the menu configuration process, the ProView for LON configuration wizard will provide a list of LON devices commissioned into the G3 station database. The MNL-800 controller appears in the list, however, the MNL-800 device object cannot be expanded to display the nvi, nvo, and nci objects for selection.
Environment
I/A Series G3 (all versions), MNL-800, ProView for LON, MNL-PROV-WAL
Cause
None
Resolution
The MNL-800 will not display network variable nvi, nvo, and nci objects unless the device's self documentation is modified to provide what the wizard considers a valid LonMark and function block reference.
- Open the properties for the MNL-800 (Dynamic Device) and expand the Device Data. Locate the Self Doc property and configure the value as follows: 3.3@8000;
- Launch the Ec Dis Wizard and the MNL-800 will now expand to display the nvi, nvo, and nci objects for selection.
