Procedure 1 Mounting NPB-232 option card on a JACE.
1. Remove powerfromtheJACE—seethe
previousWarning.
2. RemovetheJACEcover.
Todothis,pressinthefourtabsonbothendsof
theunit,andliftthecoveroff.
Note Ifaccessorymodulesarepluggedintothe
JACE,youmayneedtoslidethemawayfrom
theunittogettothecovertabs.
3. Removethebatteryandbracketassemblyby
takingoutthefourscrewsholdingitinplace,
settingthescrewsasideforlater.Unplugthe
batteryfromtheconnectorontheJACE.See
Figure 2foranexplodedview.
Table 1 NPB-232 option description.
Description Notes
Single port RS-232
adapter, with DB-9M
connector. Uses its
ownon-boardUART.
Supports baud rates
up to 115200.
Note: The JACE
requires NiagaraAX
build level 3.1.24 or
higher to use the
NPB-232 option.
Up to 2 RS-232 option cards may be
installed. COM ports are assigned as
follows:
•If a single RS-232 option in Option
Slot 1, port is COM3.
•If two RS-232 options, ports are
COM3 for Option Slot 1, and COM4
for Option Slot 2.
•If a single RS-232 option in Option
Slot 2, with another option type in
Slot 1, the COM assignment varies:
See Figure 2 on page 2 for location of
JACE Option Slots.
Slot 1 Slot 2 NPB-232
NPB-MDM COM 3
NPB-LON COM 3
NPB-2X-485 COM 5
See Notes in
Table 1 about
COM port
assignment.

4. Removetheblankingendplatefortheslotyou
areinstallingtheoptioncardinto.
(Retaintheblankingendplateincasetheoption
cardmustberemovedatalaterdate.)
5. CarefullyinsertthepinsoftheNPB‐232intothe
socketoftheappropriateoptioncardslot.The
mountingholesontheoptionboardshouldline
upwiththestandoffsonthebaseboard.Ifthey
donot,theconnectorisnotproperlyaligned.
Pressuntiltheoptioncardiscompletelyseated.
6. Placethecustomendplatethatcamewiththe
NPB‐232overitsconnector(seeFigure 3).
Figure 3 NPB-232 inserted, end plate on top.
7. Plugthebatterycableintothebatteryconnector
ontheJACE(seeFigure 3forlocation).
8. Setthebatteryandbracketassemblybackover
theoptioncardslots,withthemountingholes
alignedwiththestandoffs.
9. Placethefourscrewsthroughthebatterybracket,
endplates,andintothestandoffsontheJACE
baseboard.Handtightenthesescrews.

10. ReplacetheJACEcover.
Ifaccessorymoduleswereunplugged,plugthem
backintotheJACEasbefore,andsecure.
Port Pinouts
TheNPB‐232optionhasstandardDB‐9Mpinouts,
identicaltotheRS‐232portontheJACE‐2/6base.
Table 2providesavisualreference.
StandardDB‐9serialcablesmaybeused,for
example,a“nullmodem”cabletocommunicateto
anotherDTEdevice.
LEDs
TwoLEDsarevisibleonthetopoftheNPB‐232
optioncard(covermustberemovedfromJACE).
Theyarealsonotedonthelabel—seeFigure 1.The
twoLEDsaredescribedasfollows:
•TX(yellow)—Transmit,indicatesthattheJACE
issendingdatatoadevice.
•RX(green)—Receive,indicatesthattheJACEis
