This document covers the initial Niagara R2 software installation and configuration for a JACE-403 or JACE-545 controller
that has been upgraded with the NPM6E-based “retrofit board” (RB-603 or RB-645), using Workbench[1] AX 3.6.44 or later, as well as Niagara R2 installation of build 2.301. 535v1 or later. It assumes that you are an engineer,
technician, or service person who is performing control system installation. All information in this document is also online
in Niagara Workbench help, providing that the docRetrofitBoardR2 module was installed.
Throughout this document, the terms “JACE-603” and “JACE-645” are used to refer to controllers that have been outfitted with
a retrofit board. These controllers are also available as entire new units. If the upgraded (or new) JACE-603 or JACE-645
controller is to run NiagaraAX instead of Niagara R2, please refer to the JACE NiagaraAX Install & Startup Guide in place of this document.
For physical mounting and wiring details, refer to the RB-603 and RB-645 Retrofit Board Install Guide.
Note this document does not cover Niagara R2 station access and configuration. Please refer to the Niagara R2 documentation and the Help in the Niagara R2 JDE (Java Desktop Environment).
The following main sections are in this document:
[1] Workbench described and shown in this document is a simplified, “profiled” version intended only for use with a retrofit board-equipped JACE-603 or JACE-645 being commissioned as a Niagara R2 host, using a NiagaraAX platform connection. This Workbench interface is simplified, and does not include a sidebar area for a Nav tree, or many other Workbench features, for example to support NiagaraAX station connections. However, if you are using the standard “non-profiled” NiagaraAX Workbench, the same platform operations described in this document also apply whenever performing Niagara R2 platform commissioning of a JACE-603 or JACE-645 controller.
