Requirements

This topic describes the licensing and software requirements for using the Niagara Cloud Honeywell Sentience Driver.

Platform requirements

The Niagara Cloud Honeywell Sentience Driver functions on any JACE-8000 or Supervisor platform.

 NOTE: From version Niagara 4.4 and later, the Niagara Cloud Honeywell Sentience Driver is not supported for JACE-3E, JACE-6/6E, or JACE-7 platforms. 

License requirements

To use the driver in a station, the nCloudDriver license feature must be enabled on the host. Additionally, the license feature requires limits to be set for device, points, and histories, otherwise those respective device extensions prevent operation.

The CloudConnector is also a licensed feature.

Also for any non- Forge Connect installation, you must be a registered user of the Asset Manager tool in Niagara Community to register a device for cloud communications.

Additional software requirements

  • The software modules listed here must be installed on your system, followed by a station restart.
    • nCloudDriver-rt, -wb
    • cloudConfig-rt
    • cloudConnector-rt
    • cloudIotHubConnector-rt
    • cloudIotHubDep-rt
    • cloudSentienceConnector-rt, -ux

    For any Forge Connect installation, the following modules must be installed on your system as well.

    • fcModelSync
    • fcTagDict
    • fcEasyOnboard

  • The Host Id for the device must also be added to the organization within the Asset Manager tool in Niagara Community.
  • Internet access is required for all stations and clients.
     NOTE: If your local network uses a proxy server to provide Internet access, work with your on-site IT department to configure the proxy server to allow access to the Honeywell Forge platform. CloudLink requires that any intermediate proxy server be a fully transparent proxy; named proxy servers, also known as explicit proxy servers, are not supported at this time. The station requires unauthenticated proxy access to the following domains which are part of the Honeywell Forge ecosystem:

    • *.azurewebsites.net
    • *.cloud.tridium.com
    • *.tridium.com

    • *.trafficmanager.net
    • *.azure-devices.net
    • *.honeywellcloud.com
    • *.windows.net
     
  • A Workbench connection to the remote station is required in order to configure the Niagara Cloud Honeywell Sentience Driver.
