GENERAL
EAGLEHAWK NX is a BACnet-compliant heating, ventilation,
air conditioning (HVAC) building controller.
It runs the CentraLine Niagara NX framework, integrating all
trades in a building.
Thus, EAGLEHAWK NX is the ideal solution for HVAC con-
trols requiring combination with lighting, shading, access
control, and security applications.
It provides unparalleled energy efficiency through the use of a
vast HVAC Application Library.
EAGLEHAWK NX enables uniform graphical operation, con-
trol, data logging, alarming, scheduling, and network man-
agement functions for HVAC and non-HVAC applications.
Through its integrated web server, it allows real-time access
to all information through web-based graphical views.
EAGLEHAWK NX supports full remote engineering, including
changes to the control program and the graphical user inter-
face. This greatly supports reduction of life cycle and
maintenance cost.
OPERATION IN IP NETWORKS
When operating EAGLEHAWK NX in IP networks, either
private (e.g., VPN) networks must be used or protection
against the open Internet (e.g., by means of external firewalls)
must be ensured. See "Network Security" on pg. 6.
3RD-PARTY SOFTWARE LICENSES
This product contains software provided by third parties. See
also EAGLEHAWK NX Controller – Third-Party Software
Licenses (Product Literature No.: EN2Z-1041GE51).
FEATURES
 Reduced total installed cost: Existing standard Ether-
net/LAN infrastructure is used for communication between
EAGLEHAWK NX controllers, 3
rd
-party BACnet® con-
trollers, and BACnet® front-ends. Costs are further re-
duced by the flexible and optional use of Panel Bus I/Os
(which allow manual override independent of the controller,
thus obviating the need for external switches) and of
onboard I/Os.
Panel Bus I/Os allow for wiring lengths of up to 800 m, thus
obviating the need to lay wire from field devices all the way
back to the controller.
 Reduced life cycle cost: EAGLEHAWK NX supports the
highly reliable CentraLine Panel Bus I/O modules, which
allow for plugging and replacing without any need for re-
wiring or engineering, thus minimizing system down-time.
The Panel Bus is polarity-insensitive, thus reducing poten-
tial wiring errors. Furthermore, Panel Bus I/O modules
allow the predefinition of output safety positions, ensuring
safe operation even if communication with EAGLEHAWK
NX is disrupted.
 Universal operation: Via Internet browser, EAGLEHAWK
NX can be operated from any place, from any PC and/or
mobile device connected to the (EAGLEHAWK NX) net-
work! (Optionally, via the onboard or detached HMI, the
controller can be operated independently of any network
connection.)
 Vendor independence: Multiple international communi-
cation standards are supported, e.g.: BACnet/IP (ISO
16484-5); BACnet MS/TP (ISO 16484-5); L
ONWORKS (ISO
14908); Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP; M-Bus (EN 1434-
3); oBIX; SNMP; etc.
 Trending: Datapoints can be trended and historical values
stored and viewed.
 Reliable control performance: Embedded QNX ensures
reliable, independent, and secure operation, especially for
systems with Internet access.
 Embedded e-mail alarming: Configurable e-mail
alarming options allow alarms to be sent (via network or
Internet-DSL connection) to e-mail accounts and thus also
to mobile device using SMTP protocol.
 Optional SMS alarming: SMS alarming via GSM modem
using the optional SMS driver.
 CentraLine application library: Enables highly-effective
application generation for optimal energy-efficient control
applications.
 Flexible mounting options: Mounting onto wall or onto
panel back wall, into panel door, onto panel rail, and into
sub-panels (fuse boxes).
 Direct 24 VAC power supply: No batteries, no movable
parts – thus does not require regular maintenance.
