JOHNSON CONTROLS N2 TECHNOLOGY OPTION
A System Overview
The Johnson Controls N2 Technology Option provides a serial data port, allowing VSDs
(variable speed drives) to be linked to form a network. Using a Network Control Module, this
network can be continuously controlled to provide supervision and monitoring for each VSD in
the system.
With each unit under local
control, the central
supervisor performs only
periodic setpoint updating,
control sequencing and data
collection.
In the system, the Network
Control Module acts as the
Master, and the VSD as the
Slave.
The network of VSDs can
be set-up using each unit’s
MMI/Operator Station.
Protocol
This card communicates using the Johnson Controls N2 protocol. Any connections made to it
most comply with this protocol. All effort has been made to maintain compatibility with devices
using this protocol.
Product Features
•Suitable for use with:
HVAC10 Drive Products software version 4.6 onwards
•Connection using 2-wire shielded twisted pair (RS485)
•Protocol tag access for defined N2 parameters
Size Notation – Part Numbers
Size 1 HVAC10 drives use the 6053-JMET Metasys N2 Technology Box.
All Size 2 and 3 HVAC10 drives use the 6055-JMET Metasys N2 Technology Box.
Advantages with this type of control system
1. Multi-wire analog transmission from a central programmable
controller is replaced by a bussed digital system using serial
data transmission over differential twisted-pair wires.
2. Digital transmission is fundamentally less noise-prone than
analog methods, and the accuracy of the transmitted data is
unaffected by the transmission medium. The use of intelligent
devices at either end of the data link allows error checking to
be used. This virtually eliminates the effects of electrical noise
on data integrity. It is therefore possible to issue setpoints to
drives with much higher accuracy using this method.
3. The communication standard used allows up to 32 drives to be
connected to a single link which can be driven from a
computer serial port.
4. The chosen standard and protocol are compatible with other
Eurotherm Group products. Temperature controls, process
controls, data loggers and drives can communicate easily with
a common supervisory system.

Installation
WARNING!
Before installing, ensure that the drive and all wiring is electrically isolated and
cannot be made “live” unintentionally by other personnel.
Wait 5 minutes after disconnecting power before working on any part of the
system or removing the covers from the Drive.
JOHNSON CONTROLS N2 Communication Module (HVAC10)
You can create a network of drives by linking a Master to one or more HVAC10 drives fitted
with this module.
Plug this Communication Module on to the front of the HVAC10 drive by removing its terminal
cover and fitting the product to the right-most Technology Box position.
Wiring is very simple - all connections are SELV (Safe Extra Low Voltage).
It is possible to establish serial communications without adhering to the following
recommendations, however, the recommendations will promote greater reliability.
Cable Specification
Use cable which has two twisted pairs, with each pair individually screened as shown. The
characteristic impedance should be in
the range 100 to 165 Ohms.
Recommended Cable Specification
Recommended Cable SpecificationRecommended Cable Specification
Recommended Cable Specification
Characteristic Impedance 100-165Ωat 3-20MHz
Cable Capacitance <30pF/m
Core Diameter 0.34mm² (22 AWG)
Cable Type Twisted pair cable
Resistance <110Ω/km
Shielding Copper braid, or braid & foil
Note: One example: Belden B3079A cable meets the above specification.
Cable Routing
Daisy chain one drive to the next. The supervisor should be at one end of the run. Avoid spurs.
Earthing/Grounding
Connect the screens of both pairs of wires to ground at the supervisor. If possible, connect the
supervisor’s transmitter/receiver 0V reference to earth. Connect all screens as shown in the
following diagrams.

WARNING!
Ensure that all wiring is isolated.
IMPORTANT: Remember to set the switch positions on the DIL switch, SW1.
The Technology Option plugs into the right-hand position on the front of the drive, or in place of
the Operator Station/blank cover (SIZE 1 only).
It can be used with the Operator Station fitted, but for the HVAC10 SIZE 1 unit you must mount
the Operator Station remotely using the Panel Mounting Kit with connecting lead (6052). The
connecting lead enters the HVAC10 drive through the gland plate.
•Remove the terminal cover and screws.
•On the HVAC10 unit, plug the ribbon cable into the back of the Technology Box and into the
socket on the drive.
•Click the Technology Box into place in the recess on the front of the drive. If provided,
secure in position by tightening the captive screw on the bottom right hand corner of the
Option. On the SIZE 1 unit it will protrude slightly above the standard plastic enclosure.
•Make all user wiring connections. Refer to the Wiring Diagrams.
•Re-fit the terminal cover securely with the screws.

Initial Set-up for Johnson Controls N2
Configuring the Drive
Using the Operator Station (MMI) or other suitable PC programming tool, the TEC OPTION
function block requires configuring before the Metasys N2 option can be used.
The parameter names/functions in the TEC OPTION function block are inter-dependant and will
change with different parameter values and the various Technology Options that can be fitted.
The top function block diagram shows the ConfigEd Lite parameter names, which are also
displayed on the MMI if no Technology Option is fitted or an incorrect TYPE is selected for the
fitted Technology Option.
ConfigEd Lite is Eurotherm Drives’ Windows-based block programming software.
When the TYPE parameter is set to display RS485, the function block parameters take on new
identities, as shown in the lower Function Block diagram.
Selecting Johnson Controls N2
(Select Advanced view level on the Operator Station and view the TEC OPTION function block).
•Select RS485 in the TYPE parameter
•Select Metasys N2 in the PROTOCOL parameter
•Select Node Address 1 - 255
•Check the FAULT parameter for error messages and rectify if necessary
When setting values for parameters from ConfigEd Lite (or other suitable PC programming tool)
you are able to select any value in the parameter’s range, i.e. -32768 to 32767. If the value is
incorrect, i.e. it doesn’t correspond to a value that can be set using the MMI, then the FAULT
output parameter will be set to PARAMETER.
