1 SDC Sedona Controller Workbench Installation

1. Introduction

SDC-30 controllers use the open source Sedona framework. The SDC controllers are programmed either

with the dedicated Sedona Workbench or with AX Workbench. The Sedona Workbench is a dedicated

programming tool for Sedona products.

The AX Workbench is a much wider tool used with Niagara Framework products e.g. JACE, Hawk and

TONN. The SDC-30 controllers can be programmed using AX Workbench range products, allowing the

existing AX Workbench users easily integrate the SDC controller programming into the AX Workbench

Suite.

In this application note both stand-alone Sedona Workbench as well as Niagara AX workbench installation is

reviewed.
