Adding the HardwareScanService

You can add the Hardware Scan Service in any JACE controller running AX-3.7 or later (including Niagara 4). To add the service, simply install the necessary software modules, using the Software Manager in a platform connection:

For NiagaraAX installations	For Niagara 4 installations
platHwScan (always necessary)	platHwScan-rt (always necessary)platHwScan-wb (always necessary)
platHwScanType	platHwScanType-rt

For AX installations, the Type varies by the specific JACE model series (see table below). If you select only the platHwScanType module (such as platHwScanNpm), the required platHwScan module becomes automatically selected.

NOTE: Installing these modules on JACE controllers running AX results in a controller reboot. Installing the required modules on JACE-8000 controllers running Niagara 4 requires only that the station be restarted.

Figure 73. Choosing the platHwScan modules needed for JACE-8000 running Niagara 4.

The image above shows the selected modules that are necessary for JACE-8000 controllers running Niagara 4.

The necessary platHwScanType is listed by controller series in the table below.

Controller Series	platHwScanType module
JACE-8000 (running N4)	platHwScanTitan-rt
JACE-8000 (running AX-3.8U1)	platHwScanTitan
JACE-6, JACE-3E, JACE-6E	platHwScanNpm
JACE-7	platHwScanJvln
JACE-603 (retrofit board)	platHwScanJ603
JACE-645 ( retrofit board)	platHwScanJ645
JACE-x02 Express (202/602-XPR or M2M)	platHwScanXpr
JACE-NXT, JACE-NXS	platHwScanNx
SEC-J-601	platHwScanSec

NOTE: If you install an incorrect platHwScanType module, or install only platHwScan module, the default view on the station’s Hardware Scan Service will simply display:Jar file platHwScanType is required to support this platform.In this case, simply install the correct type using the table above.
