JACE Hardware Scan Service

Starting in AX-3.7, NiagaraAX support was added for a “Hardware Scan Service” to be added under a JACE station’s PlatformServices. This optional service has a default view that shows a diagram of the hosting JACE controller, identifying the location of communication ports and other features (Figure 1).

Included are callouts to a table that explain the description (such as COM2), port type, and status.

Also included are what types of JACE option cards are installed in option card slots (if applicable), plus other information on various controller features, such as the current “Serial Shell” jumper position.
