SBS JACE 8N4 Features

A modular approach to global design. Tridium has developed a brand new hardware platform optimized for Niagara 4: the SBS JACE 8N4. This "next generation" controller is an outstanding advancement for connecting and controlling devices around the world and features a new global design that can not only be used for legacy systems, but also scaled to meet future needs.

Key Features:

  • Efficient global design

    Efficient global design

    The new, modular design of the SBS JACE 8N4 controller makes it easy to install, integrate and deploy. Tool-less installation with expansion capability reduces installation complexity and improves flexibility. Systems integrators can focus on engineering solutions, not assembling components. And their lives will be simplified with a global power supply and improved access to standard enclosures.

  • Wireless capability

    Wireless capability

    Standard Wi-Fi offers enhanced wireless capability when interfacing with the next generation of wireless sensors and devices. The SBS JACE 8N4 controller also is configurable as an access point so that mobile phones and tablets can display information and advanced graphics. Expansion also is available when interfacing with other wireless fieldbuses seen in connected buildings.

  • Optimized for Niagara 4

    Optimized for Niagara 4

    The SBS JACE 8N4 controller leverages the exciting new features of Niagara 4. It adds to the enhanced user experience, maximizing Niagara 4’s key advantages: pure Web interface based on HTML 5 with HTML 5 views, charting and data visualization, a common design language, better reporting, robust security and improved device management.

  • Global capacity licensing and upgrade capability

    Global capacity licensing and upgrade capability

    Determine the number of devices that will be integrated and select the right capacity license from the start. License upgrades can be purchased in the future as your needs grow.

  • Modular hardware design for fast and easy installation

    Modular hardware design for fast and easy installation

    Controller and option modules are designed for easy mounting on a 35mm-wide DIN rail.

  • Power supply

  • Communication modules for LonWorks®, RS232 and RS485 / Modbus RTU / BACnet MS/TP networks

    Communication modules for LonWorks®, RS232 and RS485 / Modbus RTU / BACnet MS/TP networks

    Option modules connect directly to the controller for additional communication ports, including types for LonWorks®, RS232 and RS485 networks.


    Supported module types and combinations:

    • NPB-8000-LON (up to 4) for 1 x LonWorks® network per module.
    • NPB-8000-232 (up to 4) for 1 x RS232 network per module
    • NPB-8000-2X-485 (up to 2) for 2x RS485 bus / networks, per module

  • Option module and capacity considerations

    Option module and capacity considerations

    The controller supports a maximum of four option modules (expansion modules) in certain combinations. If you use two RS485 option modules, you can only use one additional "non-RS485" module (LON or 232), for a total of three. The following figure shows some example combinations. 

    The expandability depends on the type of expansion module used.
