    This document explains how to run a virtual SDC-xG graphics series controller using the Apps Tool program. The Apps Tool allows creation of SDC-xG controller applications offline by emulating the controller in a Windows PC. It supports Niagara Workbench AX 3.5 or higher and the CPT tool. To run a virtual controller, download and install the Apps Tool, choose the Sedona directory, start the virtual controller application, and connect to it using the localhost IP from Niagara Workbench or CPT. The virtual controller emulates SDC-xG functions but cannot emulate COM port connections to external devices.

    1 Virtual SDC-xG Graphics Series Controller


    The below application note explains how to run virtual SDC-xG graphics series controller. This allows the
    controller programming to be carried out without the physical controller.
    The virtual controller is achieved with the time saving Apps Tool program. This programs allows the creation of
    the SDC-xG controller applications offline.
    The Apps Tool is compatible with Niagara Workbench AX 3.5, Niagara Workbench AX 3.6, Niagara
    Workbench AX 3.7 and also the CPT tool from the Sedona Developers community/ecosystem.
    It is compatible with Windows 32bit and Windows 64bit.
    This tool only supports SyxthSense SDC-xG graphics series. It does not support the SDC-30 controller.

    2 Downloading and Installing The Apps Tool


    The Apps Tool is part of the Sedona CPT Tool bundle available from the SyxthSense web-site under the
    Support Section. Download the bundle and unzip the files to the hard drive of the PC.

    Launch the AppsTool.exe under the Apps Tool folder. For


    Windosw 7 and 8 run the app with the Administrator
    Privileges.

    Note: If the Apps Tool prompts for error


    saying that the apps folder does not exist
    in some Niagara AX version or in CPT

    After connecting from the Virtual Controller from the CPT screen similar to the below one is shown.

    5 Notes
    Once the Sedona apps been successfully emulated, the Sedona apps running in the windows background
    emulate the SDC-xG series.
    All the Sedona functions are useable. Kits can be manage/install.
    However the emulator cannot emulate the PC COM port to be theSDC-xG series COM2 to be able to connect
    to any Modbus slave device. Only configurations are allowed.
