Control Modules—Network Control Module 200 Series 3
Engineering
The 200 Series Network Control Module (NCM200) is the main
processing module in the Network Control Unit (NCU). Fully
programmable, the NCM200 coordinates and supervises the control
activities for all objects and control loops hardwired to the NCU, as well
as the remote Network Expansion Units (NEUs) and Application Specific
Controllers (ASCs) connected to it over a local bus.
An NCM200, via the N1 Local Area Network (N1 LAN), also has the
ability to control activities for objects located in other NCMs. An example
of exchanged control would be objects shed or restored by the Demand
Limiting/Load Rolling feature.
Different program sets download to an NCM200 to support a variety of
devices on its local buses. The program sets are of two types: Standard
Functionality and Migration Functionality. The Standard Functionality
supports one of the following applications:
•
Standard NCM software supports the following: NEUs, Heating,
Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Applications such as Air
Handling Unit (AHU) Controllers, Variable Air Volume (VAV)
Controllers, VAV Modular Assemblies (VMA), Unitary (UNT)
Controllers, Lab and Central Plant (LCP) Controllers, DX-9100/9120,
and Application Specific Controllers (ASCs) on the N2 Bus, plus
C210/C260 controllers on an L2 Bus.
•
Fire Management software integrates the fire and safety
IFC-1010/2020 controller to Metasys
®
, as well as supporting Point
Multiplex Modules (XMs) and HVAC ASCs on the N2 Bus.
•
Intelligent Access Controller software integrates the access IAC-600
Controller to Metasys, as well as supporting XMs and HVAC ASCs
on the N2 Bus.
•
As an alternative to the Network Terminal (NT), Operator Terminal
(OT) software connects a VT100, or a Personal Computer (PC) with
VT100 emulation software to the NCM200. An NCM with an
Operator Terminal connected supports NEUs, Intelligent Lighting
Controllers (ILCs), and ASCs, including the LCP.
In addition, an Operator Terminal connected to one NCM on the
N1 network can display, schedule, and control Fire, Access, S2, or
L2 Bus applications connected to other NCMs on the network.
