Metasys N2 by JCI Data Conversion
Up one level
Want to protect your investment in installed devices which only support N2?
We have a solution, that connects to the N2 trunks, sucks up the device points list, maps it automatically onto an appropriately named and configured BACnet objects, allows for manual customization and does this all at the click of a button then you need to see our demo of the S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router. It is truly amazing to see how much engineering effort can be save by this automated process.
Want to add foreign devices to a N2 network ?
We have solutions that allow you, using our gateways, to make foreign devices appear as N2-Open devices. We support over 100 different protocols. Every one of them can be converted to N2. This gives you the ability to integrate a large number of fire alarm panels, gensets, HVAC equipment, sensors, PLC's and many other devices. Data transfer can be bi-directional.
Convert
We have module solutions which allow integration directly into Metasys Data N2 by JCI as well as the stand alone solutions shown bottom right.

S4 Group Solutions for Metasys N2 by JCI
S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router
Typical Applications would be to bring data from the Metasys® N2 by JCI network into BACnet-based enterprise applications, energy management applications, or adding best-of-breed BACnet-based head end systems and HMIs from Johnson Controls or 3rd parties to legacy Metasys® by JCI installations.
- S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router Product Capabilities
S4 Open: N2 Switch
The N2 Switch avoids costly replacement or re-engineering of existing devices on the legacy N2 buses. A typical application would be replacing multiple legacy Companion / Facilitator panels with a single NAE supervisory controller.
- S4 Open: N2 Switch Product Capabilities
S4 Open: OPC-N2 Router
The OPC-N2 Router automatically discovers all N2 devices on each Downstream N2 Network and publishes the devices, and their associated points, onto the Upstream N2 and OPC IP interfaces. Typical Applications would be to bring data from the JCI N2 network into OPC-based enterprise applications, energy management applications, or adding best-of-breed OPC-based head end systems and HMIs from Johnson Controls or 3rd parties to legacy JCI N2 installations

Chipkin Automation Systems
1. Experience working with TAC data conversion. We have sold and installed many systems connecting N2 systems to foreign building management systems and devices.
2. We are system integration specialists. We have worked with most of the Building Automation Systems before.
3. We provide a free CAS BACnet explorer when you integrate to a system using BACnet. This software tool, developed by us, helps your technicians prove and test the interface. This option will save you $600 and give you confidence should the dreaded ‘integration finger pointing’ occur.
