In this scenario, your customer is planning to remodel their space, subdivide or rearrange existing space, or expand their facility. As a result, their plan requires adding to their BAS either new equipment or existing equipment that was not previously connected to the BAS.
Option 1: If only one or two new controllers are needed as additions to an existing N2 bus, you should consider adding FX-PC controllers and configuring them for N2 protocol.
Option 2: If many new controllers are needed, you should consider modernizing
their BAS to use BACnet MS/TP. This option involves replacing the N2 supervisor with a
BACnet supervisor, adding FX-PC
controllers to operate the new or existing equipment, and configuring the FX-PC controllers for BACnet
protocol.
Note: If the existing N2 supervisor also supports managing BACnet MS/TP
networks, then the supervisor may not need to be replaced.
