The Johnson Controls MS-NAE-5510-2 is a advanced Network Automation Engine (NAE) from Johnson Controls, serving as a supervisory controller and integration gateway in the Metasys® Building Management System (BMS). This powerful device acts as the central nervous system for building automation, seamlessly connecting, managing, and optimizing a wide array of building subsystems.
In a modern, multi-purpose hospital, managing HVAC, lighting, and life safety systems efficiently is critical for patient care and operational cost control. The Johnson Controls MS-NAE-5510-2 is installed in the central control room, continuously collecting data from thousands of points across the facility. It integrates standalone BACnet-enabled chillers with the hospital's legacy LON-based VAV controllers and the fire alarm system. When the MS-NAE-5510-2 receives a signal from the fire panel, it automatically commands the HVAC system to initiate smoke evacuation protocols, demonstrating its vital role in ensuring both operational efficiency and life safety compliance.

The Johnson Controls MS-NAE-5510-2 is built on an open, yet secure, architecture that provides significant advantages over proprietary systems:
· •Innovation Point 1: Multi-Protocol Integration Hub: A key innovation of the MS-NAE-5510-2 is its native support for multiple building automation protocols. It can act as a BACnet/IP device on the management network while simultaneously talking to field devices via BACnet MS/TP, LON, or the legacy N2 bus. This eliminates the need for multiple, separate gateways, simplifying system architecture and reducing costs.
· •Innovation Point 2: Embedded Data Visualization and Management: The device features a powerful embedded web server. This allows facility managers and technicians to access the entire system through a standard web browser, providing real-time graphics, trend logs, alarm management, and system configuration without requiring dedicated, expensive client software on every computer.
· •Innovation Point 3: Advanced Application Engine: Beyond simple data gathering, the MS-NAE-5510-2 contains a robust application engine capable of executing complex custom control programs, global logic sequences, and sophisticated energy management strategies. This turns the BMS from a passive monitoring tool into an active, optimizing asset.
A large international airport was struggling with high energy costs and disparate control systems from various terminals. By deploying a centralized Metasys system with multiple Johnson Controls MS-NAE-5510-2 engines as zone supervisors, the airport achieved unified visibility and control. The MS-NAE-5510-2 units integrated the HVAC, lighting, and gate-side air conditioning systems. By implementing optimized start-stop schedules and demand-controlled ventilation based on real-time flight schedules and occupancy, the airport reported a 22% reduction in annual energy consumption, translating to millions of dollars in savings, while improving passenger comfort.
