The controller ships with onboard static RAM (SRAM) that can provide station
backup during power loss, and also has two (2) open option card slots for a variety of
available option cards. For details, see “About Expansion Options” below, and also
“About Backup Configurations,” page 23.
About Expansion Options
The controller provides for field-installable expansion using these types of options:
• Option cards — Install on connectors on the controller’s base board. See “A b o u t
Option Cards,” page 11.
• Accessory modules — To “chain” on the controller’s 20-pin connector. See
“About Accessory Modules,” page 13.
About Option Cards
The controller has two (2) available option slots for option cards designed for use
with JACE controllers. Each slot has a 30-pin connector. Installing an option card is
recommended before mounting the unit. See “Installing an Option Card,” page 12.
Warning Power to the controller must be OFF when installing or removing
option cards, or damage will occur! Also, you must be very careful to
plug an option card into its connector properly (pins aligned).
Option cards typically provide additional communications features, with the
following available models (with others still in development) listed in Table 1.
