19
The legacy supervisory controller can be removed
completely
If the new head end can perform the following:
◦ Occupied / Unoccupied schedules. The N2 field devices
normally do not include a time clock so they must rely on the
head end for scheduling activities.
◦ Trending and logging activities.
◦ Global Variable support. For example, an outside air
temperature sensor on one N2 device may be shared with other
N2 devices on the same N2 bus or with N2 devices on other
Metasys® networks.
◦ Custom logic coded into the NCM or other supervisory
controllers with GPL, JC Basic, or other languages.
When the legacy supervisory controller is removed, the
S4 Open appliance will act as bus master.


The N2 bus operates at 9600 baud half-duplex
◦ This can’t be changed!
◦ The S4 Open appliance protects the N2 bus from becoming overwhelmed with requests from
high speed Ethernet interfaces
◦ The S4 Open appliance has built in performance and error monitoring capabilities

Installation problems
◦ Validate the N2 bus
◦ Repair any electrical or installation problems
◦ Make sure that the installation follows RS-485 standards. Repeaters may need to be replaced or
added to boost weak signals

Polling a large number of points at high frequency
◦ EMF interference and malfunctioning N2 devices, along with other factors, contribute to timeout, data loss, and associated errors


These issues compound exponentially as the physical downstream Bus grows in
size and age
JCI Engineering Guidelines
◦ N30 – 50 N2 devices
◦ NCM – 100 N2 devices
◦ DX-9100 and VMAs count as two
54


Split a single large N2 Bus into multiple downstream
networks
◦ Each segment is brought into a single N2 Router on separate
downstream ports
◦ The new configuration will continue to look and behave like a
single N2 Bus to any upstream supervisory controllers
◦ This is all achieved without the need to implement any new logic
in the supervisory controller or extensive rewiring.

Split a single large N2 Bus into multiple independent
segments
◦ Each segment is served with its own S4 Open Appliance
◦ From the point of view of the supervisory equipment, there are
now 2 separate N2 buses
◦ At the field level, communications are more resilient and better
error detection and correction can be performed

Example: Tuning system for Niagara installations
Niagara expects instantaneous response from
BACnet IP
Deselecting RPM / WPM support makes BACnet
IP chatty but foces Niagara to handle each
BACnet property as a separate request
Eliminates points going stale in Niagara.
Utilizing COV support, or enabling Caching
would achieve the same results

Key tool to leverage success stories into more
business for both S4 and our partners.
Describe the size and complexity of the project
Discuss alternative solutions considered
Highlight the reasons why the S4 Open Appliance
was the best solution for this situation
Highlight how the S4 Integration Partner’s skills
brought together all the components to make the
project a success
Emphasize why this project was important to the
building owner or operator


Problem
◦ A facility owner has a small, one
story, office building with 12
units.
◦ The building has a total of 10 N2
devices
◦ The N30 supervisory controller
is no longer functioning, all N2
devices are in default operation
mode.

Solution
◦ Replace N30 with S4 Open:
BACnet-N2 Router 16
◦ Install new BACnet based HMI
65

66

Problem

Solution
◦ A school district needs to keep
track of energy usage across a
diverse range of buildings
◦ A sizable percentage of the
buildings are Metasys® based
◦ The district already uses an OPCbased trending solution for central
reporting for some of its buildings
◦ Install an appropriately sized S4
Open: OPC-N2 Router in each
building
◦ Connect each S4 Open: OPC-N2
Router to the central office via
existing IT infrastructure
© 2014 The S4 Group, Inc.

Problem
◦ A building operator wants to migrate from
Metasys® to a purely BACnet-based system
◦ Budget does not allow for a complete upgrade to
take place all at once

Solution
◦ Install one appropriately sized S4 Open:
BACnet-N2 Router for each legacy supervisory
controller
◦ Install a new BACnet-based HMI, all data from
the legacy Metasys® installation is immediately
available to the new system
◦ Leave the legacy controller in place and allow it
to continue communicating via the upstream
interface on the S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router
◦ Run a parallel BACnet field bus and replace N2
controllers with BACnet controllers as budget
allows or as need arises

1.The N2 Router supports any N2 device that you will
find on a N2 bus including N2 Open, VMA, Vendor
Devices, Metasys Integrator, and Centaurus
Integrator; direct Read, Write, Override, and Release
transactions for any point limited only by the
programming in the N2 device.
70

2. The Upstream Interface enables the co-existence with
the Metasys® head end. This is a key feature in cases
where minimal (or zero!) down time is mandated.
The entire legacy Metasys® system is turned into an open
environment on day one. The building owner and
operator now have a world of non-proprietary options to
choose from to expand and enhance their building while
extending the useful life of the systems they have already
invested in.
71

3.Auto discovery and configure wizard, facilitated by
our robust library of Device Type Templates which
predefine point mapping for each Metasys® device
and application (custom templates can also be
generated from Metasys® resource files) – all
minimize the man hours required to integrate your
N2 devices to BACnet.
72
© 2014 The S4 Group, Inc.
4.Use all of the features of HVAC Pro and GX-9100,
including uploading and downloading devices. The
N2 Router can provide a replacement for the Metasys®
“Passthrough” option for the configuration and
commissioning utilities (in development).
73
© 2014 The S4 Group, Inc.
5.In buildings with older, and potentially less reliable,
N2 devices, the BACnet-N2 Router automatically
resets N2 devices when multiple retries of an
operation fail; it also logs the number of times that
this action is taken.
74
© 2014 The S4 Group, Inc.
6.The N2 Router products expose all N2 device points

7.The N2 Router products work independently of any
database, priority, or security settings in the Metasys®
supervisory controller.
76
© 2014 The S4 Group, Inc.
8.The N2 Router products establish a very cost
effective gateway to BACnet IP in the short term,
quickly adding value and extending the life of legacy
systems. Facilitates the migration away from Metasys®
N2 devices in the longer term.

9. The N2 Router can force the N2 data stream from
legacy Metasys® supervisory controllers (NCM, for
instance) to participate in the BACnet priority array
mechanism, giving the integrator complete control
over which head end is commanding each point. No
other product has this “supervisory controller as a
BACnet client” capability.

10.Publish each N2 device as its own BACnet device
within a virtual BACnet network.

Obermeier Software’s SNMP OPC Server and OPC
SNMP Enterprise Agent (eAgent) pre-dated the S4
Open Products
The Obermeier Products are migrating to the same
architecture and framework as the S4 Open
Appliances
Major difference: These are software only products
Protocol plug-ins will be compatible with both
product lines
