For any QNX-based host , the following child platform services in the station’s PlatformServices are of chief importance when
commissioning a new controller.
- CertManagerService — For management of PKI certificate stores and/or allowed host exceptions, used in certificate-based, secure TLS connections
between the station/platform and other hosts. For details, see the Niagara Station Security Guide.
- DataRecoveryService — For operation/monitoring of the ongoing SRAM backups for most (SRAM-equipped) controllers. It includes a
Service Enabled configuration property, such that you can disable it, if needed. This is viable only if a backup battery is installed, or the unit is powered
by an external UPS.
- PowerMonitoringService — Holds properties for configuration and status of the controller’s battery monitoring and primary power monitoring, and
power-fail shutdown.
Also, you may wish to review the parent container’s PlatformServices properties and adjust, if needed. The following are two such examples.
- For any SRAM-equipped JACE-3,-6,-7 controller that is installed without any backup battery, you must adjust its
Battery Present property from (the default) true to false.
- PlatformServices in JACE-700 (JACE-7 series) station includes properties for an onboard tamper switch CI.
