Johnson controls NAE55 Catalog Network

The NAE55 is a specific series of network engine that performs a key role in the Metasys system architecture. Network engines provide network management and system-wide control and coordination over one or more Metasys equipment controller networks, that include the following series: 

• CG series General Purpose Application Equipment Controllers 

• CV series VAV Box Controllers 

• FAC and FEC series Field Equipment Controllers 

• VMA series VAV Box Controllers 

• TEC series Terminal Equipment Controllers 

• LN series Equipment Controllers 

• Legacy Metasys controllers, such as Unitary (UNT) controllers, Variable Air Volume Assembly (VMA14xx) controllers, and DX-9100 controllers 

• Third-party equipment controllers

The Metasys Network Automation Engine (NAE) is an Ethernet-based, supervisory device that connects BAS networks to IP networks. NAEs monitor and control field-level building automation devices, including HVAC equipment, lighting, security, and fire safety equipment. At Release 11.0, the NAE55 is also FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliant. FIPS 140-2 is a United States government cybersecurity standard that approves cryptographic modules/algorithms used for encryption. Use this document to install the NAE. Figure 1 shows the NAE55 engine.
