Wiring Earth Ground & Power, see image
Warning: Before making power terminations, de-en-
ergize the 24V power source. Do not restore power until
completing all other mounting and wiring. See "Power
up and initial checkout".
Prerequiste: A nearby earth grounding point.
Install the included earth ground wire to the control-
1
ler's earth ground spade lug, and terminate the other
end to a nearby earth ground.
Unplug the controller's 2-position power connector
2
plug and terminate the 24V supply source (AC or
DC) to the connector. Leave connector unplugged for
now.
Power Up and Initial Checkout
Apply power by doing one of the following:
• Insert the 2-position 24V power connector plug, or
• Insert the barrel plug of the wall- mount AC adapter
(WPM-8000).
Check the STAT (Status) and BEAT (Heart- beat) LEDs.
When power is applied, the green "STAT" LED will light.
This indicates the system is OK, with power applied.
During bootup, the "BEAT" LED may blink at 1 Hz with
a 90%/10% on/off duty cycle. When bootup completes,
the platform daemon is started, and the normal 1 Hz
flash at 50%/50% on/ off duty cycle of the "BEAT" LED
returns.
Status LEDs , see image
The controller provides a number of status LEDs, with all
but one visible with the front access door closed.
WLAN (Green) - Illuminates whenever WLAN
1
config switch is not Off.
RS485 "A" (COM1): Transmit (TX, Yellow) and
2
Receive (RX, Green).
RS485 "B" (COM2): Transmit (TX, Yellow) and
3
Receive (RX, Green).
STAT (Green) - Remains illuminated while controller
4
is powered.
BEAT (Yellow) - "Heartbeat", normally 1Hz, 50%
5
duty cycle.
Secondary Ethernet, SEC (LAN2) "Link" (Green) and
6
"Activity" (Yellow).
Primary Ethernet SEC (LAN1) "Link" (Green) and
7
"Activity" (Yellow).
(Behind Door) BACKUP - Green, typically Off.
8
If the "BEAT" LED stays illuminated constantly, does not
light, or blinks very fast, contact System Engineering for
technical support.
The 1Hz, 90%/10% on/off "BEAT" flash at bootup
also occurs during other critical operations, such as a
firmware upgrade to the controller and/or any attached
6
7
modules. To be safe, do not remove power from the
controller while its "BEAT" LED flashes with a 90%/10%
on/off duty cycle. Wait for the normal (50%/50%) flash
to return before removing power.
For details on the controller's various LEDs and pushbut-
ton switches, see the JACE- 8000 Mounting and Wiring
Guide.
USB Ports & Switches, see image
Behind the front access door are two USB ports, two
pushbutton controls, and an associated LED.
PROG - USB 2.0 for usage with USB flash (thumb)
1
drive.
DEBUG - Micro-A USB for serial debug communica-
2
tions.
BACKUP - Pushbutton switch to start a USB backup,
3
or if held in during power up/boot up, a factory
recovery image.
SHT/DWN - Recessed switch for controlled shut-
4
down.
BACKUP - LED to indicate USB media present, or a
5
backup, restore, or factory recovery image in prog-
ress.
The DEBUG port is a standard Micro-A type USB port
for serial debug communications to the controller. Use a
serial terminal program (for example: PuTTY) to access
the controller "system shell" menu. This provides access
to some basic platform settings.
Default DEBUG port settings are: 115200, 8, N, 1 (baud
rate, data bits, parity, stop bits). For details on using a
serial connection to the DEBUG port, see the JACE-8000
Install and Startup Guide.
NOTE: Login requires admin-level platform credentials.
Tab Mounting option, see images
DIN rail mounting is recommended. Where tab mount-
ing is required, use dimensions in the illustration to
mount the controller and up to 4 option modules.
Caution: Do not mount hardware on both a DIN
Rail and with tab mounts to another surface. This causes
physical stress on equipment and prevents good connec-
tions between controller and modules.
JACE-8000 controller with no option modules added.
1
Allow at least 1.5" (38mm) clearance around all sides
and a minimum 3" (67mm) at bottom for WLAN
antenna.
Option expansion module. Up to 4 may be used.
2
Note distances between center of tabs from one unit
3
to another unit.
