At the select modules step, a popup “Rebuilding software list” dialog briefly appears as the dependencies of the JACE are compared against the available software modules in your Workbench PC’s “software database.” During commissioning, you add to the software modules that are preselected for installation. Often, you do not make any changes, as the wizard preselects all necessary “core” modules, plus any additional modules needed by the station you previously selected (see Station installation).
However, if you did not previously select a station to install, you may wish to select modules to support a station you have in mind. Or, you may know that the JACE will need a module in the future (say for a driver), and you wish to install it now.
In general, do not select modules if you are not sure they are needed. You can manage software modules anytime later, using
the Software Manager. Also, if you install a station later, the Station Copier will automatically prompt for confirmation to install any additional modules deemed necessary.
To select modules
At the Module Installation step (Figure 13) 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 Module 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.
Figure 14 shows the dialog after modules have been selected and the list resorted alphabetically.

-
Click the button to go to the next step. Typically, this is Install/upgrade core software.
