The Metasys SNC series network control engine is a hybrid offering that provides both supervisory and equipment control in a unified offering. They provide network management and system-wide control coordination over one or more networks of equipment controllers, including the following Metasys equipment controllers:
  • CG series General Purpose Application Equipment Controllers
  • CV series VAV Box Controllers
  • FAC and FEC series Field Equipment Controllers
  • VMA series VAV Box Controllers
  • TEC series Terminal Equipment Controllers
  • LN series Equipment Controllers
  • Third-party equipment controllers

In addition to providing supervisory control capabilities, the SNC series network control engines also feature onboard input and output interfaces (I/O) and programmable logic to provide direct control over HVAC and other building system equipment.
