Install modules in Workbench

The latest Mercury .jar files may or may not be present in the Workbench Modules folder. It is important to work with the latest modules.
  • A version of Workbench that supports the driver must be installed on the PC or laptop computer. For driver requirements, see Mercury requirements.

    If you are installing Workbench for the first time, enable the check box option labeled: This instance of Workbench will be used as an installation tool. This option installs the needed distribution files (file extension: .dist) used to commission various models of remote JACE platforms. The distribution files are located under the Niagara\sw folder in various revision-named subfolders

    For more information about the distribution files, see About your software database (module://docPlatform/doc/aWbSoftwareDatabase.html) in the Platform Guide (module://docPlatform/doc/index.html).

  • Access to Niagara Central to retrieve the modules .jar files if you do not already have the latest modules.

If Workbench is already installed, use this procedure to manage the driver modules.

  1. Check the Niagara\version\modules folder (where version is the version of NiagaraAX you are using).
  2. If needed, download the latest module .jar files from Niagara Central and save them in the Niagara\version\modules folder.
