PlatformAlarmSupport is a container slot that appears for each alarmable value under a Platform Service, such as (for a
QNX-based JACE), the PowerMonitorPlatformServiceQnx, or for a JACE-NXS, the HardwareMonitorNxsPlatformServiceWin32 (internal JACE-NXS temperature, etc.).
For a QNX-based JACE, example PlatformAlarmSupport components include:
-
Battery Alarm Support
To configure how “low battery level” alarms are handled in the station.
-
Power Alarm Support
To configure how “AC power loss” alarms are handled in the station.
For a JACE-NXT or JACE-NXS, example PlatformAlarmSupport components include:
-
Cpu Temperature Alarm Support
Under the HardwareMonitorService, to configure how “Cpu Temperature Fail” alarms are handled in the station.
-
Ups Not Found Alarm Support
Under the PowerMonitorService, to configure how “UPS not responding” alarms (if applicable) are handled in the station.
Properties under each PlatformAlarmSupport container are used to designate the station’s Alarm Class to be used, and also to populate the alarm record when the specific alarm occurs. These properties work in the same fashion as those in an alarm extension for any control point.
