Description
The Johnson Controls MS-NAE5510-2 is a Network Automation Engine (NAE) within their Metasys building automation system. It’s a networking device that functions as a communication hub, managing and monitoring multiple devices and subsystems in a building. Here’s a breakdown of the MS-NAE5510-2’s functionalities based on available information:
Features:
- Network Automation Engine: Central communication point for BACnet MS/TP or N2 devices on a network segment within a Metasys system. N2 being a legacy communication protocol used in older Johnson Controls systems.
- Communication Protocols: Supports BACnet MS/TP (for newer devices) or N2 (for older devices) communication protocols, enabling data exchange with various field controllers and sensors.
- Supervision and Monitoring: Tracks the status of connected devices, collects data, and identifies potential issues within the building automation system.
- Scheduling and Control (possible): May enable scheduling and control of various building systems based on programmed logic and user inputs (capability depends on the specific model revision).
- Data Logging and Trending (possible): Might record and store data from connected devices for historical trend analysis, optimizing building performance, and identifying energy-saving opportunities (availability depends on revision).
- Web Interface (possible): May offer a web interface for remote access, configuration, and monitoring (availability varies based on revision).
- Enhanced Capabilities (compared to MS-NAE5510-1): There might be some potential enhancements in the MS-NAE5510-2 model compared to the MS-NAE5510-1. However, specific details are difficult to confirm due to limited information about the MS-NAE5510-2. Possibilities include:
- Increased capacity for connected devices.
- Additional communication features or protocols supported.
- Improved processing power for faster data handling.
Applications:
- Building Automation Systems (BAS): Core component in Metasys BAS for managing and controlling various building systems like HVAC, lighting, fire safety, and access control.
- Centralized Monitoring: Provides a central point to monitor the health and performance of various building subsystems.
- Data Acquisition: Collects data from connected devices for analysis, troubleshooting, and optimizing building operations.
