6.4 Getting Started with a Workbench Tool
The best way to begin is to connect either Niagara
Workbench or a similar tool to a BASC20 using an
Ethernet connection. The BASC20 is shipped with
a pre-installed SVM, a kits.scode file and an
app.sab file that represents a default wire sheet. If
you are using Niagara Framework, you will need
version 3.7.xx or later.
Sedona Framework is IP-based so it is necessary
to access the BASC20 over the same IP-subnet
where the BASC20 resides. Using a web browser,
try to access the BASC20 main webpage to verify
you are communicating properly with the BASC20. In the example we used, the
BASC20 was located at private address 10.0.0.211. Pointing the browser to this
location brought up the BASC20 webpage. This verifies that our PC and the
BASC20 are properly communicating over the same subnet so you should be able to
reach the BASC20 with the workbench as well.
While on the BASC20 main web page, configure all
the resident input/outputs according to the application
needs and set the time as well. To use the Sedona
scheduling components, first set time-of day using
the Set Time configuration. Once all configuration is
accomplished, you can exit the BASC20 web page.
Launch Niagara Workbench or a similar tool. If the
BASC20 was accessed before, you should see its
IP address in the navigation pane. Expand the
computer icon with the BASC20 IP address and
click on the Sedona Sox icon. If this is the first
time the BASC20 is being accessed, go to the
menu bar and do the following:
File > Open > Open Device
If you see the Open Sedona when using
Niagara Workbench, you know that Sedona
has been installed in Niagara Workbench.
You should see an Open Sedona dialog box.
The Host setting should be IP and the Port
setting should be 1876. Next to IP enter the
IP address of the BASC20. In our case, it is
10.0.0.211. You must enter a Username and
Password for the tool. In our case, we
accepted the default username/password of
admin/admin. We asked that these
credentials be remembered.
