Network Control Engine

The Metasys® Network Control Engine (NCE) Series controllers combine the network supervisor capabilities and Internet Protocol (IP) network connectivity of a
Network Automation Engine (NAE) with the Input/Output (I/O) point connectivity and direct digital control capabilities of a Field Equipment Controller (FEC). NCEs provide a cost-effective solution designed for integrating central plants and large built-up air handlers into your Metasys networks. All NCE models provide IP Ethernet network connectivity, the Metasys Site Management Portal User Interface (UI), and the network supervisory capabilities featured on NAE35/NAE45 Series network automation engines. NCEs provide connectivity to and supervisory control of a specified field bus trunk with up to 32 field controllers. Depending on the model, an NCE supports either a BACnet® Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) trunk, an N2 Bus trunk, or a LONWORKS® network trunk; except the MS-NCE2000-0 and MS-NCE2506-0 models, which 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 also integrate NS Series Network Sensors and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) into your NCE application. Some NCE models feature an integral field controller display screen with a navigation keypad. In addition,
some NCE models feature an internal modem that supports standard dial-up capabilities.
