Station Copier dependencies check

The Station Copier checks, whenever installing a station, to determine if the target JACE platform does not already have all modules installed that are required by that station. Such depencencies may prevent the installation of a selected station. Changes are summarized as follows:

If any module needed by the station has a dependency that requires the JACE to be commissioned (upgrade core Niagara software or QNX OS), the station install immediately stops, upon station selection. Steps in the Station Transfer Wizard do not appear. A dialog explains the JACE needs commissioning, and provides the option to start the Commissioning Wizard. See figure below.

Figure 85.   Selected station cannot be installed without first commissioning the JACE.

Click Yes to start the Commissioning Wizard, or No to simply return to the Station Copier.

This may occur if are trying to install a station in a new, uncommissioned, “out-of-the-box” JACE controller, or in a JACE-8000 that has been converted from AX to N4, but still not yet commissioned. Despite documentation to first commission any new JACE using the platform Commissioning Wizard, this continues to occasionally come up. For complete details, see the JACE NiagaraAX Install & Startup Guide.

If all modules needed by the station are found on your Workbench computer, the Station Transfer Wizard starts normally. However, upon reaching the “Modules step”, in some cases you may see a caution. For further details see “Modules step”.
