3.5.2 Serial interfaces
The Inline controller has two serial RS-485 interfaces, which are also available for any serial
protocols via the interface names COM1 and COM2 (see also Section “Serial interfaces” on
page 15 ).
You can add further universal serial interfaces to the Inline controller by attaching Inline ter-
minals of type IB IL RS UNI-PAC (Order No. 2700893). These Inline terminals support the
RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 interface standards, which can be parameterized via corre-
sponding terminal components in the SysMikScaNetwork with the Niagara Workbench.
These serial interfaces, added via Inline terminals, can be used for all serial protocols ex-
cept BACnet MS/TP.
Inline terminals of type IB IL MBUS-PAC (Order No. 2701927) extend the Inline controller
with serial interfaces corresponding to the M-Bus standard for the connection of up to 30 M-
Bus slaves and control by means of the Niagara M-Bus driver.
The interface names of the Inline terminals are issued according to their installation order,
beginning with COM3. A summary of all serial interfaces, including their current use
(“Owner”) is available under “Station, Config, Services, PlatformServices, SerialPortPlat-
formServiceNpsdk”.
