Controller, options and modules

The heart of the system is a JACE-8000 controller that manages access to a facility by locking or unlocking doors depending on the data received from a badge via a badge reader. The controller processes information that it receives from all physical devices and the data stored in the system database.

The system supports both hardware and software modules. Hardware modules are add-on units that expand the capabilities of a given controller:

Model/option	Supported	Comments
JACE platforms	JACE-8000 all-in-one controller provides access control, HVAC, and video from a single device.	Security JACE 602/616 with Niagara Enterprise Security 2.3 can join to a Niagara Enterprise Security 4.9 Supervisor and replicate.
Option cards	Dual RS-485 Option Card for the JACE-8000

Refer to the hardware documentation to determine how many and which hardware modules your controller(s) need.

Software modules are programs (.jar files) that reside in the system’s modules folder. Software modules may require licensing.
