A generation 2 Metasys ® system is depicted. The S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router works with any
generation Metasys® supervisory controller that supports N2 field devices
On day one…
• Achieve BACnet compatibility
• Spread out the cost and impact of
upgrading systems over multiple
phases
• Introduce value-added applications
and services
Minimize, avoid, or defer costs
associated with
• Demolition
• New Field Bus Installation
• New Field Devices
• New Mechanical Systems
• Programming Field Devices
• Commissioning
• Construction

─ Bring comprehensive control of existing legacy
Building Automation Systems into BACnet
─ Introduce Niagara services on day one
─ Co-exist with the legacy Metasys® head end
─ Repair or replace highest risk N2 field gear or
mechanical systems as needed
─ Phased replacement of all Metasys® products
with the field devices of your choice
─ The S4 Open Management Console provides the
user interface for all S4 Open Appliances.

Bidirectional communication: Full read, write, override and release support for all points
The BACnet-N2 Router is transparent to the legacy Metasys® supervisory controller
The BACnet-N2 Router is independent of the Metasys® configuration database
Metasys® head end can participate in BACnet priority array mechanism
Emulates the BACnet Priority Array for N2 points
Emulates Metasys® Override & Release operations for DX-9100
Compatible with any model of the Johnson Controls, Inc. supervisory controller Companion /
Facilitator, NCM, N30, NAE, FX Series

Auto Configure Wizard Features
• The Configure Wizard discovers all N2 field devices &
publishes points to BACnet IP
• Device Type Templates define point lists for all N2 devices
• Metasys® resource files can be converted to custom device
type templates
• Compatible with all N2 device types including N2 Open,
VND, MIG, VMA and System91

Each discovered N2 device is
published to BACnet IP as a BACnet
device under a virtual BACnet
network
 The virtual BACnet network number is
configurable
 N2 devices are automatically assigned
BACnet device instance numbers
 All standard BACnet Data Objects are
Supported
www.theS4group.com
The BACnet-N2 Router has a
presence on the local
BACnet Network
 Device ID and Network can be
set and easily modified via the
Management Console



Performance and Error monitoring
tools are built into the S4 Open
Appliances
The N2 bus operates at 9600 baud halfduplex



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: BACnet N2 Router minimizes
the day one cost of doing a retrofit of legacy
Metasys® installations and facilitates the
long term migration away from legacy N2
devices.
 The S4 Open: BACnet N2 Router provides
the enabling technology to introduce
Niagara services and features to legacy
Metasys® N2 installations
 The Niagara Framework™ adds advanced
graphics, analytical, and management
capabilities on day one
 Niagara provides a unified user experience
for all building, environmental, and energy
management systems
