Network Automation Engine
|
Product Description:
|
The Network Automation Engine (NAE) is a Web enabled network controller that communicates using BACnet, LONTALK, and the N2. The NAE monitors and supervises HVAC equipment, lighting, security, and access control.
|
Product Application(s):
|
The NAE is designed to monitor and control the following:
HVAC units, chillers, boilers, lighting/electrical distribution, power generation/electrical equipment, security/fire detection.

|
Additional Information
|
|
* Items in NV memory are not lost upon power or battery failure. Other types of NV memory such as EPROM, NOVROM, etc. do not directly
impact system performance.
|
Can trend data be stored in this controller?
|
Yes
|
How many total trend values can be stored?
|
500 records which include all points (limit 5000), extensions, graphics (background images), trend studies, schedules, and interlocks.
|
What is the controllers role in trending?
|
Pulls in trend values.
|
Can controller be programmed to 'push' data to archive or are trends 'pulled' from controller?
|
|
When full, does controller automatically send up trend data, overwrite data, or stop logging data?
|
Automatically sends trend data to ADS historical database. If no ADS is present in the system, the NAE will overwrite the data.
