Installing and starting the platform daemon

Your Workbench PC’s local platform daemon is not necessary for making client platform connections to other hosts, only to provide the ability to run a station locally on your PC. After Niagara installation on your PC, you can install and start the platform daemon at any time, if needed.

You are using the Windows Start menu.
  1. To install and start the daemon, click Start, scroll down, expand the Niagara software version and click Install Platform Daemon (shortcut for plat.exe installdaemon).
    The daemon opens a command prompt, runs and indicates successful installation.
  2. To view the platform daemon as a service, click the Windows Start menu, click Services and scroll down to Niagara.
