Net/X™ Network Controllers & Interfaces

 
 

 

The Net/X family of Network Controllers and Protocol Converters are the interfaces between the NetX-Web Service and NetworkThermostat's communicating thermostatss.  There are several different network controllers to satisfy the requirements of any installation.  The entire set of interfaces and controllers enable simple integration with any control system or personal computer.  The controllers accept simple ASCII commands using a published open protocol and replies with readable text answers.  The entire family of controllers has built-in intelligence to correct conflicting and illegal thermostat settings to prevent damage to equipment from programming errors.

All Net/X network controllers and protocol converters are commercial grade, providing high reliability in any application.  The controllers include real-time clock/calendars which allows simple, yet robust environment control. The real-time clock/calendar is a significant importance to most of our customers because it allows the Net/X systems to run in 'stand-alone' mode, where no other controller, PC or automation system is required for scheduling setpoints and modes of operation.   When used in combination with the NetX-Web service or the Net/X Command Center PC software, simply point and click to create your schedules, then click to download them into the Net/X network controller, and you're done!  The thermostat schedules will run automatically at the time(s) designated.  There are also two versions of the controllers, the NT-SSA16/CLK Network Controller (for 16 or less thermostats) and the NT-SSA32/CLK Network Controller (for up to 32 thermostats).   In addition, using the Net/X Command Center software allows you to monitor and control as many Net/X Network Controllers as needed for your site, no matter how large.

Each of the network controllers and protocol converters can be connected via PC using any of several methods; an RS-232 serial port, a USB-toSerial converter, a standard 9600 external modem, or the most common month, our popular Ethernet Interface .


NT-SSA32/CLK Network Controller (for systems with 32 or less Net/X Thermostats)

The NT-SSA32/CLK has all the power and flexibility needed for many projects.  This controller is great for systems that have 32 or fewer Net/X thermostats.  The unit has a complete real-time clock and calendar, allowing the Net/X network to become self-sustaining.   Using the Net/X Command Center Software, an entire set of schedules can be created within a point-n-click Windows environment and then downloaded into the controller.  Once this is done, the PC (or Modem or LAN or Internet) can be disconnected and the controller will run the schedules you entered.  The device can handle a power outage of 7 days without you having to worry about resetting the clock.  There is room for hundreds of different schedules, allowing complete flexibility for your needs!  The NT-SSA32/CLK makes medium-sized HVAC control jobs easier than they've ever been before!
