TEC Initial Value Editor Overview
The TEC Initial Value Editor allows you to load initial values into a Siemens TEC (or
other third-party device that uses BACnet MS/TP communication) through the Field
Panel Web Server user interface, if necessary.
The TEC Initial Value Editor allows you to:
Save the current initial values of a TEC into the field panel via the Update Panel
button
Load initial values into a TEC using the Initialize TEC button
Set new values or release existing values using the Save button
The purpose of initial values is to provide a starting value for a TEC or other FLN
device in case power is cycled. If the device is connected to a BACnet field panel,
these values are retained and sent to the device. If a device becomes damaged, the
new device can be addressed, and its application set, and the field panel will send the
initial values so the TEC is configured correctly.
The Initialize TEC feature allows you to load initial values to a TEC if necessary. Also,
Individual points can be released through the TEC Initial Value Editor.
User Interface Description for the TEC Initial Value Editor
The TEC Initial Value Editor window can be accessed by clicking the TEC Init icon in
the Create/Edit bar in the navigation pane on the left side of the screen.
