NIE29 Installation Instructions
MS-NIE29xx-x
Application
Important: NIEx9s are compatible with Metasys® system Release 7.0 and later. You may apply the dual trunk
integration feature to NIEx9s purchased prior to the current release by using the NIEx9 Driver Manager
tool. For information on how to apply the latest package and license files that support dual trunks, refer
to the NIEx9 Driver Manager Application Note (LIT-12011919).
The Metasys Network Integration Engine (NIE) controller is a web-enabled, Ethernet-based, supervisory device that
serves two roles. Its first role is to integrate the Metasys Building Management System to other standard building
management communication technologies. Integrations include the following network protocols: BACnet®, L
N2 Bus, Modbus®, Meter-Bus (M-Bus, European Standard EN 1434-3), KNX, and other third-party proprietary
protocols. In this capacity, the NIE29 monitors and supervises a wide variety of HVAC, lighting, security, fire, electrical
and thermal measuring and access control equipment.
Its second role is to provide the I/O point connectivity and digital control capabilities of a Metasys Field Equipment
Controller (FEC). In this capacity, the NIE29 Series controller provides a cost-effective solution designed for central
plant applications and large built-up air handlers.
For the Modbus and M-Bus protocols, one NIE29 can support two integrations: two Modbus, two M-Bus, or one of
each, significantly expanding the engine's flexibility. See
Important: The NIE29 is shipped with a license and driver for the communication protocol that was ordered. If you
re-image the engine, the license and driver are deleted and the engine is not able to communicate with
the required protocol. If you need to re-image the engine, use the NIEx9 Driver Manager first to preserve
the protocol driver and license file before you re-image. For details, refer to the NIEx9 Driver Manager
Application Note (LIT-12011919).

Installation
Follow these guidelines when installing an NIE:
•
Transport the NIE in the original container to minimize vibration and shock damage to the NIE.
•
Verify that all the parts shipped with the NIE.
•
Do not drop the NIE or subject it to physical shock.
Parts Included

one NIE with removable terminal plugs
•
one data protection battery (installed and connected when the NIE is shipped)
•
one installation instructions sheet
Materials and Special Tools Needed
•
three fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface (M4 screws [#8] screws)

  • Page 6: Ethernet Port

    Wiring Rules for Networks and Field Buses All NIE29 Series models are designed to connect to Ethernet IP networks and support a single SA Bus. Depending on the model, an NIE29 also supports either an MS/TP field bus trunk, an N2 Bus trunk, or a L ORKS network trunk.
  • Page 7 Wiring the NIE Important: Do not connect 24 VAC supply power to the NIE before finishing wiring and checking all wiring connections. Short circuits or improperly connected wires may result in permanent damage to the equipment. Important: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring in accordance with local, national, and regional regulations. The NIE is a low-voltage device (<30 VAC) in North America and an extra low-voltage device in Europe.

For Modbus RTU (RS-485) protocol, use a cable to connect the RS-232/RS-485 converter to the RS232C serial port on the NIE. Note: The maximum cable length between devices connected though an RS-232 line depends on the baud rate.
