Tridium’s Latest Technology: Jace 9000

Advancing Building Automation

At Saturn Enterprises, Inc., we continuously strive to bring the best in building automation solutions to our clients. Partnering with Master Systems Integrators and experts, we oversee project success through innovative technologies. Today, we spotlight the JACE 9000 controller by Tridium and compare it with the JACE 8000 to highlight the advancements in building automation.

The Power of Tridium’s Niagara Framework

Tridium, a global leader in building automation software, developed the Niagara Framework to streamline communication and data integration from diverse devices and systems. The Niagara 4 Framework, widely adopted in countless projects worldwide, stands out for its ability to interface with multivendor devices, making it an optimal choice for integration projects.

The JACE 9000

The JACE 9000 is a compact, embedded IoT controller and server platform designed to connect multiple and diverse devices and sub-systems. It offers integrated control, supervision, data logging, alarming, scheduling, and network management. The JACE 9000’s licensing model includes standard drivers and optional IO and field bus expansion modules, providing ultimate flexibility and expandability.

Comparing the JACE 8000 vS JACE 9000

Both controllers are optimized for the Niagara 4 Framework, offering robust capabilities for device connectivity and data integration. However, the JACE 9000 brings several enhancements over the JACE 8000.

• Robust Performance: Powered by an NXP iMX8M+ Quad Core CPU and 2GB LPDDR4 RAM.
• Storage and Connectivity: Equipped with 8GB onboard EMMC storage, an 8GB micro-SD card, dual Ethernet ports, and advanced Wi-Fi capabilities.
• Niagara 4 Compatibility: Runs Niagara 4.13 or later, ensuring optimal performance and integration capabilities.

Smart Building Benefits with the JACE 9000

The JACE 9000 is ideal for larger facilities, multi-building applications, and large-scale control system integrations. Its advanced graphical displays can be accessed via a standard web browser, making it a user-friendly and powerful tool for building automation.

For projects with multiple JACE units spread geographically, a Niagara Supervisor host server can aggregate information, including alarms and historical and real-time data, into a single, unified application. This ensures comprehensive visibility and control across campuses, school districts, or municipalities.
