Section 36 of 101
35. Capability Negotiation
Stable section ID: S05-CON-006-SECTION-36 · 38 content blocks
Capability Negotiation establishes the mutually supported and authorized operating configuration of connected components.
The BIOS shall collect:
capabilities provided by each side;
capabilities required by each side;
certified limits;
negotiated Interface limits;
building-design requirements;
Engineering Profile limits;
current degraded-state restrictions;
policy restrictions.
Negotiation shall determine:
enabled capabilities;
disabled optional capabilities;
operating ranges;
communication mode;
control relationships;
resource allocations;
fallback behavior;
required monitoring;
- renewal or renegotiation conditions.
- The negotiated operating capability shall never exceed the lowest applicable verified limit.
A higher-capacity Cartridge may operate at a lower limit if its behavior remains compatible. A lower-capacity Cartridge shall not be accepted where the building design requires greater performance.
Negotiation shall not independently alter:
structural design capacity;
fire-safety configuration;
regulatory requirements;
emergency authority;
certified safety logic;
- project-approved operating limits.
- Such changes require authorized configuration review.
- The negotiation result shall be stored as part of the active Interface and Cartridge configuration.
Renegotiation shall occur when:
a dependency changes;
the building enters another operating mode;
a component becomes degraded;
software or firmware changes;
a resource becomes unavailable;
a new capability is activated.
