This section shows the typical workflow for installing the engineered station at an actual job site:
Prerequisites:
JACE commissioned with NiagaraAX 3.7 enabled for Sedona Framework TXS 1.2
At least one Sedona device
Transferring the station to the remote JACE
This procedure gives the basic step for transferring the station (that was engineered off-site) to the JACE.
Use the Station Copier platform tool to install the new station on the remote JACE. For details on copying stations, see “Station Copier” in the NiagaraAX Platform Guide.
Installing the vendor-specific files on the JACE
This procedure gives the basic step for installing the vendor-specific files in the Sedona environment on the JACE using the Sedona Environment Manager platform tool.
Once the new station is running on the JACE, connect to the remote station, and use the Sedona Environment Manager platform tool to install the vendor-specific files (kits, manifests, and platforms) from your local Workbench installation to the JACE.
For complete details on installing the vendor-specific files on the JACE, refer to “Installing Sedona environment files” in the NiagaraAX Sedona Framework TXS Networks Guide.
Performing device discovery, match, and associate
This procedure describes performing device discovery, matching the physical device to the device in the station database, and associating the appropriate app which adds the associated app to the JACE station file space.
Device discovery will only work when the correct type of Sedona network has been selected. For Ethernet LAN devices make sure
to select 'SedonaNetwork' when adding a network to your Niagara station. Regarding Jennic-based (wireless) devices, see Limitations engineering Jen6Lp networks using the simulator
Power up the physical Sedona device.
In Workbench, open the Sedona Device Manager and click
to detect the physical device and display the device in Discovered pane.Select the discovered device and click
to match the device to the device in station database.Select the discovered device in the Discover pane and the added device in the Database pane, then click
. A File Chooser window displays.In the File Chooser, navigate to the offline app file in !sedona/store/apps
and click . This step adds the indicated app file to the JACE station file space, as shown below, using a file system hierarchy that
includes the device’s name. This facilitates retrieving the app file later for point discovery, provisioning with app put,
etc.
Pushing the offline app down to a physical device
This procedure describes using the a Put operation in the Application Manager provisioning tool to copy the associated app file from the JACE file space to the physical device.
Expand the Sedona Tools node under the device in the station.
Double-click the Application Manager provisioning tool
The app file copied to each device must be associated with that particular device.
For complete details on provisioning the device, refer to “Put an application on a device” in the Sedona Framework TXS Tools Guide
Click Put and , and select the appropriate associated app to install on the device.
Click
to push the selected app down to the physical device.Viewing points to confirm behavior
The procedure gives the basic step to confirm app logic is working as intended.
Within device in the station database on the JACE, examine the Points in the Wire Sheet view to confirm that the proxy point values are updating.
This concludes the process for installing the engineered station at an actual job site.
