Workbench and Sedona file requirements

Before upgrading a JACE from a previous revision, or before installing software modules in a JACE, use the Workbench Sedona Installer tool to install the appropriate Sedona Framework TXS 1.2 bundle for Workbench, and restart Workbench. This ensures the latest Sedona Framework-related modules are available in Workbench for installation in remote JACE controllers. For related details, see the NiagaraAX Sedona Installer Guide document.

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). This bundle is specific for use with AX-3.8, and is not backward compatible with AX-3.7. 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 related details, see the latest (February 2014) revision of the NiagaraAX Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 Installer Guide.

After enabling your Workbench for Sedona Framework TXS 1.2, you should also import other Sedona files in your “local” Sedona environment (your Workbench PC) for the specific types of Sedona Framework devices to be networked in NiagaraAX stations. Obtain these Sedona files from the Sedona Framework device vendor(s) for those devices. Such files include Sedona kit “manifest” files (.xml), Sedona kit files (.kit), and Sedona platform archive files (.par).

Device vendors may furnish such files in a zipped format, or as individual files. Either way, you use the Workbench Sedona Installer tool to import these files in your local (Workbench) Sedona environment, by choosing the option to “Import Sedona environment files”. For more details, see the section “Importing Sedona environment files” in the NiagaraAX Sedona Installer Guide.
