This document covers the mounting and wiring of the following products: • JACE-9000 (15885) • WPM-8000 Refer to the JACE-9000 Niagara 4 Install and Startup Guide for Niagara 4 software installation and configuration details. Related Links • Document change log •...
General information General information The following sections list hardware information and material requirements. JACE-9000 controller, model 15885 Figure 1. JACE-9000 controller The controller provides these features: Mounting Power Processor Operating System Memory Storage Ethernet RS485 The integral power supply requires either 24Vac 50/60Hz, 24Vdc, or a wall-mount AC power adapter.
Precautions • Inserting or removing the microSD card Items included with the controller The following items are also supplied with the JACE-9000 (15885) controller. • MicroSD card in a plastic case (optional for Beta release) • Two 3-position RS485 connector plugs •...

General information Related Links • General information (Parent Topic) Option module and capacity considerations The controller supports a maximum total of four option (expansion) modules in certain combinations. If you use two RS485 option modules, you are limited to one additional non-RS485 module (LON or RS-232) for a total of three modules.
General information The maximums above do not reflect combinations of wired field bus integrations. Two examples: • Two RS485 modules (via onboard RS485), two Lonworks FTT-10 (2 LON modules), two RS-232 modules. In these configurations, the maximum number of option modules (4) are installed. •...

General information The microSD card is used to store backups. Backups, once generated, are encrypted with a system passphrase that is stored in the controller. You must re-enter this same passphrase to restore a backup from the microSD card, using a serial connection to the unit’s Debug port. Prerequisites: You are working in a static-free area and have discharged any static from your body.
Physical mounting Physical mounting Mount the controller in a location that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, and module removal. Figure 3. Mounting dimensions of controller and option modules Horizontal mounting (as shown) is required to achieve maximum heat dissipation and meet the operating temperature upper limit requirement.
Physical mounting • Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) • Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F) • Relative humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing. Pollution Degree 2 • Supply (mains) voltage allowable voltage fluctuation: +/- 10% Do not mount the unit: •...
Physical mounting (Parent Topic) Tab mounting dimensions Tab mounting measurements shown below are in inches and millimeters (mm). DIN mounting is recommended over tab mounting. Refer to “Mounting on a DIN rail” for details. Figure 4. JACE-9000 controller tab mounting dimensions...

Physical mounting Callout Description JACE-9000 with no option modules added. Allow at least 1.5” (38mm) clearance around all sides. Option expansion module. Up to four (4) may be used. Refer to “Option module and capacity considerations” for details. Distances between the center of the tabs from one unit to another unit.
Wiring and power up Wiring and power up When correctly mounted, the top of the controller contains the COM ports and the bottom of the controller the Ethernet ports. Figure 5. Power and field communications ports Earth Ground Power RS485 ports and bias switches. Refer to “RS485 wiring” and “RS485 bias switches” for details. Secondary Ethernet port (Sec), 10/100/1000 Mbit, RJ–45 Primary Ethernet port (Pri), 10/100/1000 Mbit, RJ–45 Related Links...

Wiring and power up Figure 6. RS–485 wiring example NOTE: RS485 devices on the same network should use the same protocol and baud rate. Use shielded, twisted-pair, 18-22 AWG cabling to wire in a continuous multidrop fashion to other RS485 devices: minus-to-minus, plus-to-plus, and shield-to-shield.
POE network segment and power-cycle the unit. The factory-default IP address for PRI is 192.168.1.140. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. By default, the SEC (LAN2) port is disabled. Refer to the JACE-9000 Install and Startup Guide for details on the software configuration of the Ethernet ports.
Wiring and power up (Parent Topic) Power up and initial checkout Enabling power starts a sequence of blinking LEDs. Also, the Niagara logo on the cover illuminates whenever power is applied to the controller. Prerequisites: Power and ground wiring to the controller are ready. See wiring “Earth ground and power.”...

JACE-9000 Status LEDs JACE-9000 Status LEDs The JACE-9000 provides a number of status LEDs and a heartbeat LED. All but one are visible with the front access door closed. Figure 8. JACE-9000 LEDs and brief descriptions RS485 A (COM1): Transmit (TX, Yellow) and Receive (RX, Green). Refer to “RS485 LEDs.”...
If a station is killed or stopped, the heartbeat pattern should change from pattern C to pattern B. • If a station is started, or restarted, the heartbeat pattern should change to pattern C. • NOTE: After Niagara daemon startup, niagarad is not monitored. Related Links • RS485 LEDs •...
