FX16 Master Controller Technical Bulletin 91
Supervisory Option
You can integrate the FX16 Master Controller into a supervisory
building automation system for continuous monitoring of the control
systems. The FX16 supports two methods of integration: N2 Open
Integration and LONWORKS Network.
N2 Open Integration
You can connect the FX16 controller to the N2 Open network of a
Building Automation System (BAS). The BAS then has access to all the
control network variables and parameters available in the FX16’s
network profile.
The list of variables and parameters available to the network is defined
in the network profile. The network profile is part of the application
loaded to the controller. You can customize the network profile for each
device.
The FX16, like the other controllers in the Facility Explorer family, can
integrate into Johnson Controls Metasys systems as an N2 Open
Compatible Vendor Device (VND). FX Builder generates a file (.prn)
that contains the relevant information from a control application for the
integration of the FX16 into a supervisory workstation or supervisory
controller with an N2 Open interface. The .prn file contains columns
labeled Point Type and Point Address. This information generates the
Network Point Type and Network Point Address in the supervisory
system or controller.
N2 Open Network Profile Limits
The FX16 N2 Open interface exposes up to 62 network variables
(volatile points) and up to 100 parameters (permanent points) to the
N2 Open network. The Device Application Network Profile imposes
this limitation.
