This step produces a Software Installation dialog, as a table with sortable columns. During commissioning, you can change modules that are preselected for installation.
You may not need to make any changes, as the wizard preselects all necessary “core” modules, plus any additional modules needed
by the database (config.bog) of a station previously selected (see Station installation).
Preselected modules based on items in the station (config.bog) do not include user interface-related modules for widgets or images used in Px files.
In the case of a SoftJACE, the current (Workbench-like) CD or image installation already installed most modules. If your Workbench is running at the same or earlier build level, most (if not all) modules may appear listed as
“Up to Date” (Figure 15). In this case, the button will be dimmed—after selecting any other modules (if any) you can simply click to continue.
However, if your Workbench is using a newer build level, you will see virtually all modules listed as “Out of Date”—in this case, click , to select them all.
You can manage modules anytime later, using the platform Software Manager. You may wish to do this to remove modules that have little use by the SoftJACE’s station. As with any JACE, if you install
a station later, the platform Station Copier will automatically prompt for confirmation to install any additional modules, if required by that station.
To select modules
At the Module Installation step (Figure 15) in the Commissioning Wizard, do the following:
-
Review the list of available modules (This list is long and requires you to use the scroll bar). Each selected module has an “X” in its selection box. Note the following:
-
Modules preselected from “core” need or station database reasons each have a red text descriptor, which may read as:
-
Install required platform module “Tridium
buildNumber” -
Install module required by station “Tridium
buildNumber”
By default, these modules are at the top of the list. You cannot deselect these modules.
-
-
You can select additional modules to install by clicking selection boxes. The description for each is in blue text, and displays as either:
-
Not Installed (if not selected)
-
Install “Tridium
buildNumber” (if selected)
-
-
To resort the list alphabetically, click the Software header in the table. To return to the default sort order, click the table’s (blank) description header.
-
To reset the selection of modules to the original collection, click the button.
The figure above is an example where the station to be installed includes some modules that were not in the SoftJACE image (CD). The module (software) list has been resorted alphabetically.
-
-
Click the button to go to the next step, Install/upgrade SoftJACE core software.
