PowerMonitorPlatformServiceQnx (PowerMonitorService) is used to monitor the primary power status and backup battery level in many QNX-based JACEs. A few configuration parameters allow changing the shutdown delay time, as well as alarm source configuration for both types of alarms (low battery level, primary power lost).

This PowerMonitorService is found under the PlatformServiceContainer in a station running on any QNX-based JACE except for those models that are capable and/or enabled for “dual battery” support. Typically, support is enabled and configured at JACE commissioning time. For related details, see “JACE power monitoring configuration” in the latest JACE NiagaraAX Install & Startup Guide.
