JACE-NX hardware monitoring

A station in the (discontinued) Windows-based JACE-NX provides status monitoring of various internal hardware parameters, via “Float” type slots under its HardwareMonitorService.

A few of the items monitored include:

CPU temperature

(“Cpu Temp” slot) — Value in degrees (C or F) of the mainboard under the JACE-NX’s CPU.
CPU fan Speed

(“Cpu Fan Speed” slot) — RPM value of the CPU fan inside the JACE-NX.
Chassis fan Speed

(“Sys Fan Speed” slot) — RPM value of the JACE-NX’s rear-mounted chassis fan.

Also included are various internal voltage values (Vtt, CPU core, Vcc 3 and 5, +12, -12, Vsb).

If needed, you can make Px bindings or links to these slots (however, see PlatformServices binding and link caveats). In addition to these read-only status slots, the HardwareMonitorService provides related configuration slots, which you typically review at commissioning time. For more details and a related procedure, see “Hardware monitoring in the JACE-NX” in the JACE-NX NiagaraAX Install & Startup Guide.
