Introduction

The NAE55 is a specific series of network engine

that performs a key role in the Metasys system

architecture. Network engines provide network

management and system-wide control and

coordination over one or more Metasys equipment

controller networks, that include the following

series:

• CG series General Purpose Application Equipment

Controllers

• CV series VAV Box Controllers

• FAC and FEC series Field Equipment Controllers

• VMA series VAV Box Controllers

• TEC series Terminal Equipment Controllers

• LN series Equipment Controllers

• Legacy Metasys controllers, such as Unitary

(UNT) controllers, Variable Air Volume Assembly

(VMA14xx) controllers, and DX-9100 controllers

• Third-party equipment controllers

Note: The following IP controllers at

firmware 10.0 support BACnet™/IP and

BACnet/SC at Release 12.0.

- M4-CGE09090-0/-0H

- M4-CGE04060-0

- M4-CVE03050-0P

- MS-FAC4911-0

- MS-VMA1930-0

You can connect these network engines together

to scale up on large projects. For additional

functionality and site unification, you can network

the engines with an Application and Data Server

(ADS), an Extended Application and Data Server

(ADX), or an Open Application Server (OAS).

Use network engines for building control

scheduling, alarm and event management, energy

management, data exchange, historical data

storage and management, and custom control logic.

The NAE55 includes an embedded user interface

called the Site Management Portal (SMP). Users

access the SMP for system navigation and operation

with a web browser. To prevent unauthorized

access, network engines use password protection,

permission access, and IT security best practices.

Network engines provide network supervisor

capabilities, IP network connectivity, and third-party

device integration capabilities. NAE55s at Release

11.0 or later are FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliant. The

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)

140-2 is a United States government cybersecurity

standard that approves cryptographic modules/

algorithms used for encryption.

For information about the latest family of network

engines that are available at Release 10.1 or

later, refer to the SNE/SNC Product Bulletin

(LIT-12013296). For information about other

network engine models, refer to the NAE55 Catalog

Page (LIT-1900195). For information about network

engines that have approval for use at facilities that

require regulatory compliance, refer to the Metasys

for Validated Environments, Extended Architecture

Product Bulletin (LIT-12011326).

Application documentation

Refer to the Network Engines Product Bulletin

(LIT-12012138) for important product application

information.

Features and benefits

The following features and benefits are applicable to

all network engines, with specific features that vary

by model and software release.

Supervision of controller networks including

Johnson Controls and third-party protocol

devices

Support for connectivity to open network standards

for field device flexibility. Supported protocols are

model and software release dependent and include

BACnet/IP, BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC),

BACnet MS/TP, LonWorks, N2 Bus, Modbus RTU,

Modbus TCP, M-Bus (EN 13757-3) serial and IP, KNX

IP, SIMPLEX® Fire, Zettler Fire Panel, Tyco C•CURE,

OPC Unified Architecture (UA), and other third-party

protocols.

Communication using commonly accepted IT

standards at the automation and enterprise level

The Metasys System installs on the IT infrastructure

in your building or enterprise and uses standard IT

communication services over the company Intranet,

WAN, public Internet with VPN tunnel, or firewall

protection. Network engines also support the ability

to optionally authenticate non-local users through

Syslog Destination Delivery Agent (DDA) for network

logging of Metasys audits and events.

FIPS compliance

Common to all network engines that run Release

11.0 or later firmware, the FIPS 140-2 feature

provides FIPS compliance to a customer's Building

Automation System (BAS). For a site to be fully FIPS

compliant, you need to upgrade all network engines

to Release 11.0 or later, then install and license the

FIPS 140-2 feature on the Metasys Server.

BACnet/SC

BACnet/SC is a recent update to the BACnet

interoperability standard to improve cybersecurity

and network infrastructure integrity. BACnet/

SC identifies a secure, encrypted datalink layer

designed to meet the requirements, policies, and

constraints of IP networking infrastructures.

Secure web-based user interface

Access system data in the network engines from

any device that is connected to the network with

a supported web browser. All upgraded network

engines have self-signed certificates for encrypted

communication. Optionally, you can deploy

trusted certificates to the network engines that the

customer's IT department or a Certificate Authority

(CA) provide and manage.

Site Director function

If you set up one network engine as a Site Director,

you can access all site data from that single device.

The device that is designated as the Site Director

coordinates the display of data from a maximum of

three engines for easy navigation through the entire

site. This capability is available to all network engine

models.

Embedded user interface and online system

configuration software

Use the password-protected software to enable,

configure, commission, archive data, monitor,

command, and perform system diagnosis from any

device through a web browser, without the need for

separate workstation software.

Linux® operating system

The NAE55 network engines at Release 10.0 and

later run on Linux, which is a robust, widelyaccepted, and readily-supported operating system.

Background file transfer

With this new feature, you can transfer firmware

upgrades, archive databases, HTTPS security

certificates, and security databases from the

System Configuration Tool (SCT) to the NAE55

while the engine remains operational, minimizing

system disruptions. Background file transfer is

only available for NAE55s at Release 10.1 or later,

and for the new family of SNE and SNC network

engines that were introduced at Release 10.1. For

information about the newest engines, refer to the

SNE/SNC Product Bulletin (LIT-12013296)

Ordering information

Contact the nearest Johnson Controls representative to order a network engine. The following tables list the

product code numbers and accessories for all available network engines based on model. If you receive an

NAE55 engine from the factory that is imaged with an older release, you can field-upgrade the engine to

Release 12.0 if the upgrade is supported. To order repair parts, add -702 or -703 in place of the last number

(for example, MS-NAE5521-703).
