Description

COM Port Assignments and Notes

Dual port, 

optically isolated 

RS-485 adapter, 

with two 

3-position, 

removable 

screw-terminal 

connector plugs.

The NPB-2X-

RS485 has 

jumper blocks that 

can be used to 

enable onboard 

bias resistors. 

See “Preparation” 

on page 2, for 

more details.

NOTE:

 The 

controller requires 

NiagaraAX build 

level 3.1.24 or 

higher to use the 

NPB-2X-RS485 

option.

The WEB/CP-202/602-XPR series 

controller accepts only one (1) option 

card, where ports for the NPB-2X-RS485 

are COM7 and COM8.

For other controller models (WEB/CP-

201/600/700 and SEC-H-201/600) up to 

two (2) RS-485 option cards may be 

installed, where:

If a 

single

 NPB-2X-RS485 option card 

is in Option Slot 1, the ports are COM3, 

COM4.

If there are 

two

 NPB-2X-RS485 option 

cards, the ports are COM3, COM4 for 

Option Slot 1, and COM5, COM6 for 

Option Slot 2.

If a 

single

 NPB-2X-RS485 option card 

is in Option Slot 2, the ports are COM3, 

COM4, unless one of the following 

cards are in Option Slot 1:

If an NPB-2X-RS485 option card is 

in slot 1, then the ports for slot 2 are 

COM5, COM6.

If an NPB-GPRS option card is in 

slot 1, then the ports for slot 2 are 

COM4, COM5.

See Fig. 3 on page 2 for location of Option 

Slots 1 and 2 on a WEB/CP-201/600/700.
