Application
The Network Automation Engine (NAE) and Network Integration Engine (NIE) are web-enabled,
Ethernet-based, supervisory devices. NAEs and NIEs monitor and control networks of field-
level building automation devices, including HVAC equipment, lighting, security, and fire safety
equipment. Figure 1 shows a typical network engine.
In this installation guide, the term network engine applies to any NAE55 or NIE55 model, unless
otherwise stated. For installation instructions on the secure NAE55, refer to the NAE-S Installation
Instructions (Part No. 24-10051-108). For installation instructions on the NAE55s that are approved
for Metasys® system smoke control applications, refer to the NAE55 Installation Instructions (Part No.
24-10051-00132).
The NAE55 models provide integration to the following network protocols: BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/
TP, and N2 Bus, and integrations to other building management communication technologies,
including Modbus®, M-Bus, and KNX. At Release 9.0, the Modbus, M-Bus, and KNX integrations are
added and licensed during network engine commissioning. At Release 10.0, the Modbus, M-Bus,
and KNX integrations are included with the image of the network engine, already pre-licensed and
ready for selection during commissioning. .
Important: For any other custom integrations, contact your local Systems Integration Services
(SIS) team before an upgrade. Updated drivers are available on request.
Note: The NIE55 is available at Release 9.0, but beginning at Release 10.0, the NIE55 is no
longer offered. Also, for installation instructions on the secure NAE55, refer to the NAE-S
Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10051-108).
Note: Beginning with Metasys Release 10.0, modems (internal and external) and pagers are
no longer supported on NAE55 engines that run the Linux operating system, but are still
supported on prior releases for engines that use a Windows Embedded operating system. If
you receive from the factory a network engine with Release 9.0 that has an internal modem,
you can field-upgrade the engine to Release 10.0 to acquire new release enhancements, but
its modem and pager functionality is lost. If you need modem and pager functionality, do not
upgrade the NAE55 engine to Release 10.0.
Note: If you receive an NAE55 engine from the factory that is imaged with Release 9.0, you
can field-upgrade the engine to Release 10.0 if the upgrade is supported.
Installation
Follow these guidelines when installing the network engine:
• Transport the network engine in the original container to minimize vibration and shock damage
to the network engine.
• Verify that all the parts shipped with the network engine. The data protection battery and
network engine ship together but are packaged separately.
• Do not drop the network engine or subject it to physical shock.
• Do not open the network engine housing (except the data protection battery compartment). The
network engine has no user-serviceable parts inside.

    Wiring Overview Power supply, network, and communication connections See Figure 1 for the location of the power supply terminal, network communication terminals, Ethernet jack, and modem jack. Depending on the model, the network engine can connect to an MS/TP field bus trunk, an N2 Bus trunk, or a LonWorks network trunk.

  • Page 8: Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Ports

    For an NAE55 at Release 9.0, you can use the RS232C A port to connect directly to a computer serial port to browse to the NAE55. Use this port only for establishing a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) network connection. Refer to the Metasys System Extended Architecture Direct Connection and Dial-Up Connection Application Note (LIT-1201639).
  • Page 9  Warning Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect or isolate all power supplies before making electrical connections.
