7.3 Sedona for Control
Tridium has made available the open-source Sedona Framework with which devices
can provide user programmable control. Control scheme programming is done using
Tridium’s Sedona Workbench or Niagara Workbench.
The BAS Remote can execute the Sedona Virtual Machine (SVM) to implement control
schemes designed with Sedona Workbench and downloaded to the BAS Remote via
the SVM. The SVM executes these two files:
an scode file containing the Sedona application
an SAB file containing the control scheme
The Sedona application is a program (written in the Sedona language) that contains
executable code for each Sedona component. The SAB file determines how the
components are executed.
The SAB file included with the BAS Remote contains a basic structure similar to that
provided by Tridium (although blank). This structure provides a folder that contains a
wiresheet. You double click this folder to begin your control scheme design.
As you design your scheme, all changes are immediately sent to the BAS Remote for
execution and for monitoring via Sedona Workbench. This only affects the currently
executing control scheme stored in RAM. If you store your control scheme to non-
volatile memory, it will over-write the SAB file in the BAS Remote.
7.3.1 Getting Started with a Sedona Tool
The best way to begin is to connect either a Sedona Workbench or Niagara Workbench
tool to a BAS Remote using an Ethernet connection. The BAS Remote is shipped with
a pre-installed SVM, a kits.scode file and an app.sab file that represents a blank wire
sheet. If you are using Niagara Framework you will need version 3.5.24 or later.
Expand the Niagara folder loaded on a Windows PC and you will find a Sedona folder.
In this folder is a kits folder with additional folders
— one of which should be a BAS
Remote folder. Also in the Sedona folder is a manifests folder that should also have a
BAS Remote folder. Both of these are necessary before using the workbench with the
BAS Remote. You will find instructions and necessary files on the controls website, at:
www.ccontrols.com/tech/sedona.htm
Sedona Framework is IP-based so it is necessary to gain access to the BAS Remote
over the same IP-subnet where the BAS Remote resides. Using your web browser,
access the BAS Remote webpage. In the navigation pane example shown in Figure 38,
the BAS Remote is located at private address
192.168.92.68. Pointing your browser to this
location brings up the BAS Remote webpage
which verifies that the PC and the BAS
Remote are properly communicating over the
same subnet. You should be able to reach
the BAS Remote with the Sedona or Niagara
workbench as well.
