If a JACE-603 or JACE-645 configured for Niagara R2 (and not NiagaraAX), this view is not used. Instead, you use a tab under a different “R2 Platform Tool” platform view for
installing Niagara R2 lexicon sets. For details, see the “R2 Installation Manager” section in the Retrofit Board Niagara R2 Install & Startup Guide.
The Lexicon Installer is one of several NiagaraAX platform views. This view lets you install text-based NiagaraAX “lexicon sets” from your Workbench PC to a remote JACE platform, as needed.
Note that starting in AX-3.7, lexicons can also be installed as modules (.jar files), in which case you use the platform Software Manager (instead) for installation in remote JACE platforms. In fact, “standard lexicons” are distributed in AX-3.7 (and later) builds as modules, using a module file name convention of:
niagaraLexiconLc.jar
where Lc is the two-character “language code”, such as Fr for French or Es for Spanish. In addition, Workbench 3.7 or later provides an updated Lexicon Tool with a special “Lexicon Module Maker” view you can use to modify or make new lexicon modules, from edited text-based lexicon
files.
For complete details, refer to the NiagaraAX Lexicon Guide.
Lexicons in NiagaraAX typically have one of two uses, depending on job location:
-
International locations: For non-English language support
-
Domestic (U.S.) locations: where you have modified the English (en) lexicon in order to change the wording used in default labels.
Beforehand, you typically use the Lexicon Editor view of the Lexicon Tool in Workbench to review and edit entries (or keys) in the individual lexicon files with localized values needed for language support. See the User Guide sections “About lexicons” and “Lexicon editor” for more details.
When you select Lexicon Installer, any existing text-based lexicon sets (already installed in that platform) are listed in the view pane. When you click Install, a “Select Directories” dialog appears for you to select lexicon sets (on your Workbench PC) to install in the remote platform, as shown in Figure 33.
When you click , the selected lexicon directory is installed in the remote JACE platform. An “Installation Complete” dialog appears when all files are transferred, as shown in Figure 34.
