NCE25 Installation Instructions
Application
The Metasys® Network Control Engine (NCE) 25 Series controllers combine the network supervisor
capabilities and Internet IP network connectivity of a Metasys Network Automation Engine (NAE)
with the I/O point connectivity and direct digital control capabilities of a Metasys Field Equipment
Controller (FEC). These network engines provide a cost-effective solution designed for central plant
applications and large built-up air handlers.
NCE25 Series controllers provide integration to the following network protocols: BACnet/IP, BACnet
MS/TP, and N2 Bus and integrations to other building management communication technologies,
including Modbus®, M-Bus, and KNX. The network engine at 9.0.7 is shipped with the licenses and
drivers for all three communication protocols: Modbus, M-Bus, and KNX.
Note: LonWorks® is no longer supported for an NCE at Release 9.0.7. All NCEs that feature the
LonWorks integration remain at Release 9.0 or earlier.
Figure 3 shows the physical features of an MS-NCE2567-0 model. See Table 18 for NCE25 Series
model information and features.
Important: For existing custom integrations, contact your local Systems Integration Services
(SIS) team before an upgrade. Updated drivers can be provided on request.

Important: Modem functions are available with Metasys Release 9.0, but are not available if
you update the NCE25 to Release 9.0.7.
Note: Do not remove the red terminal block keys from the board mounted terminal blocks as
this can cause a removable terminal plug being plugged into the wrong terminal block, which
can cause the network engine to malfunction.
The NCE25 supports Modbus, M-Bus, and KNX integrations when upgraded to Release 9.0.7.
24~ supply power terminal block
The 24~ supply power terminal block is a gray, keyed, removable 3-terminal block located on the
top side of all NCE models. See Figure 3, Figure 11, and Figure 12.
In North America, the NCE25 requires a Class 2, 24 VAC, 25 VA minimum power supply. Outside
North America, use a 24 VAC SELV transformer at the appropriate rating. A minimum input voltage
of 20 VAC is required for the network engine to operate properly.
Note: The maximum power consumption of an NCE25 is 25 VA, but that does not include
power for internally sourced BO points. Applications that provide power to BO points and CO
points configured as BO points can require up to 125 VA of additional power over the 25 VA
minimum required for the NCE25.

Note: LonWorks® is no longer supported for an NCE at Release 9.0.7. All NCEs that feature the
LonWorks integration remain at Release 9.0 or earlier.
The blue, keyed, removable, 3-position LON terminal block connects a LonWorks network trunk
to NCE25 models that support a LonWorks network trunk. The Shield (SHD) on the LON terminal
block is soft grounded to the network engine chassis terminal, and you can use it as a convenient
terminal to connect cable shield drains in daisy-chain bus applications that use shielded cable.
FC Bus modular port
The 6-pin modular FC BUS port is available only on NCE models that support MS/TP FC Bus
applications (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Connect a Wireless Commissioning Converter (MS-BTCVT-1) to
the modular FC BUS port to commission the NCE with the CCT.
RS232C serial port
For a network engine updated with Release 9.0.7, the RS232C serial port only outputs information
during startup to a VT100 or a computer with a VT100 emulator. For a network engine at 9.0.7
configured with vendor integrations, the RS232C serial port provides a direct connection to a
Modbus RTU or M-Bus network using a standard 9-pin female data terminal equipment (DTE) to 9-
pin female DTE null modem cable. You can integrate only one device on this port.
7NCE25 Installation Instructions
Standard USB port
A network engine updated to Release 9.0.7, does not support modem functionality through
the USB port. However, for a network engine with vendor integrations, you can configure the
vendor integration to use an external flash drive connected to the USB port to capture diagnostic
information when the engine is in diagnostic mode.
Ethernet port
The Ethernet port, labeled ETHERNET, is an 8-pin RJ-45 network port for connecting the network
engine to Ethernet networks (10 or 100 Mbps). For a network engine configured for vendor
integrations, use this port for connecting a Modbus TCP, M-Bus TCP, or KNX network.
Internal modem
Modem functionality for NCE25 models that feature an internal modem is removed supported
when you update the NCE25 with Release 9.0.7. If your application requires a modem, image the
engine with Release 9.0.
Wiring rules for networks and field buses
All NCE25 Series models are designed to connect to Ethernet IP networks and support a single SA
Bus.
A network engine also supports an MS/TP field bus trunk, an N2 Bus trunk, and up to two vendor
integrations. For example, an NCE support two Modbus, two M-bus, or one of each. If a KNX
integration is required, an NCE25 supports only one KNX IP Integration.
IP Ethernet network rules
