Product Description
. . . . . Johnson Controls MS-NCE2560-0 Supports two third-party trunks (Modbus RTU or TCP, M-Bus, or KNX) and one MS/TP Bus. The number of supported devices on the third-party trunk depends on the protocol. For the MS/TP bus, up to 32 devices are supported.
The Metasys Network Control Engine (NCE) Series controllers provide a cost-effective solution designed for integrating central plants and large built-up air handlers into your existing Metasys networks.
These network control engines combine the network supervisor capabilities and IP network connectivity of a Network Automation Engine (NAE) with the I/O point connectivity and direct digital control capabilities of a Field Equipment Controller (FEC), making them the ideal choice for expanding and improving your Metasys installation for greater data visibility and control over your energy usage.
NCEs provide supervisory control of a specified field bus trunk with up to 32 field controllers. NCE25 Series controllers provide integration to many network protocols, including BACnet®/IP, BACnet MS/TP, N2 Bus, Modbus® RTU, Modbus TCP, M-Bus (EN 13757-3), KNX IP, and other third-party protocols. The MS-NCE2500-0 and MS-NCE2506-0 models, which are available in Europe only, do not provide a physical field controller trunk connection.
All NCE models feature 33 integral I/O points and a Sensor/Actuator (SA) Bus, which allow you to increase the NCE's I/O field point capacity and integrate NS Series Network Sensors, and VFDs into your NCE application.
Some NCE models feature an integral field controller display screen with a navigation keypad, allowing for easy modifications in the field.. Johnson Controls. Johnson Controls. MS-NCE2560-0.
