Keystone Pro

Keystone Pro Station Tools

Build Niagara native stations faster, with no third-party dependencies.

Tools for people who live in Niagara Workbench. Add the module to Services, use it, take it out. The station you leave behind is just native Niagara objects; no third-party dependencies.

What it is

Keystone Pro is a Workbench module. Drop KeystoneProService into Services, use the tools, then take it out. What you leave is a normal Niagara station — more time on the system, less time on the repetitive bits.

The product is built on two ideas: build at scale, and view what is already there. Together they let you move through a job with more confidence.

Build

Construct Niagara objects, PX views, links, and extensions at scale. The tools do the repetitive work so you can spend time on the system itself.

View

Scan and inspect what is already in the station. Check links, alarms, history grouping, and the work you just built before you leave the job.

Install

Copy the runtime and Workbench jars for your Niagara version into the modules folder, then restart Workbench. Open the keystoneProTools palette and drag KeystoneProService onto Config → Services.

  1. Download the jars for your Niagara line from Downloads.
  2. Copy them into (Niagara Home)/modules.
  3. Restart Workbench.
  4. Drag KeystoneProService from the palette onto Config → Services.
  5. Use the tools. When you are finished, delete the service.

Keystone does not add station dependencies. The tools build with existing Niagara infrastructure — native objects, PX files, links, and extensions. After you remove the service, the station can run as a clean, Niagara-native environment. Keystone is not required at runtime.

Licensing

License Level 1 is a one-time purchase and includes two seats. Each seat is bound to a Workbench machine, not to a station or a job. You take the same license from site to site.

That is the point of machine licensing. Other tools often license per station, which means a new key for every job. Keystone is licensed to the PC you work on, so you are not buying a license for each station you touch.

After purchase, use the Buy page to check seats and request a claim link. Copy Host ID from Platform Administration → View Details on that Workbench PC — you do not need Keystone Pro loaded first. Module jars themselves are free to download. The license unlocks the tools.
