Using the Sedona Jennic option card


NoteIf using NiagaraAX-3.8, and planning to install Sedona Framework TXS, you must use an “update 1” bundle of TXS-1.2: version 1.2.1xx (for example 1.2.100). Whereas if using AX-3.7/AX-3.7u1, you use an earlier TXS-1.2 bundle: version 1.2.2x (for example 1.2.28.4). And in the case of AX-3.7u1 (3.7.106 or later), after installing the 1.2.28.4 bundle you need to download and install a patched nsedona module, version 1.2.28.1. For more details, see the latest (February 2014 or later) revision of the NiagaraAX Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 Installer Guide.

This document explains the software application of a Sedona Jennic option card (NPB-SED-001) installed in a JACE controller running AX-3.7 or later with Sedona TXS 1.2 modules, or running AX-3.6 or later with Sedona TXS 1.1 modules. Included are a few procedures to “get started” with the NiagaraAX integration of Jennic-based Sedona Framework devices. Further details are found in the NiagaraAX Sedona Framework TXS Network Guide and other documents. See Related documentation.

For hardware mounting and wiring information, please refer to the NPB-SED-001 Option Card Installation Sheet document, a copy of which ships with each option card.

NoteThis document changed completely since the original release of the Sedona Jennic option card, to reflect the different NiagaraAX interface in Sedona Framework TXS 1.2 and TXS 1.1 (vs. Sedona Framework1.0). The “Jennic6LowpanBridgeService” is no longer used (or supported), such that a previous JACE’s station database (.bog file) is not compatible with Sedona Framework-related NiagaraAX modules, as installed from the AX-3.6 and later Workbench “Sedona Installer”.To help migrate an older AX-3.4 or AX-3.5 JACE station that used the Jennic6LowpanBridgeService (to integrate Jennic-based devices in a SedonaNetwork), a “Bog migration tool” is available in Workbench. Refer to the Sedona Framework engineering notes document NiagaraAX Station Migration Tool.
