The S4 Open technology platform uniquely supports the integration of multiple protocols in the Building Automation industry. By interpreting proprietary or legacy communication protocols and publishing the results to industry standard open interfaces, customers now have the option to cut and paste integration into BAS systems that have traditionally been closed. Products to Extend and Enhance the
Johnson Controls Metasys The S4 Open appliances, utilize the S4 Open platform to open up the N2 bus systems to new Best -Of-Breed solutions. The technology enables end users to retain existing investment in the N2 bus and yet plan for cost effective growth and evolution in the future by integrating BACnet or XML other protocols into their building automation strategies. Download the S4 Open appliance White Paper The S4 Group's unique Virtual N2 Network© allows the Building Automation System Designer to take advantage of all the features and strengths of any model of the Johnson Controls, Inc. supervisory controller. In normal operation the S4 Open appliance is completely transparent to the supervisory controller. What the supervisory controller sees on its N2 interface is the switched image of the sum of the N2 devices on all of the Downstream N2 Networks attached to the S4 Open appliance. It has no need to know what ports they were connected to, what media or transport was utilized, or if address translation was performed. As far as it is concerned our Virtual N2 Network© is a normal, traditional, N2 field bus. S4 Open Product Family Roadmap The following items are being considered as future additions, or enhancements, to the S4 Open product line. Please Contact Us if you have an interest in seeing these, or other, interfaces developed. The order in which these interfaces are developed, and how they are packaged, will be determined in large part by customer input.
We are always in need of BAS equipment for testing in the S4 Group development lab. Please Contact Us if you have any Johnson Controls Metasys®, or any other manufacturer's BAS that you could make available to us. System Architecture All S4 Open products are based on a common core technology platform enabling Lego®-like "mix-and-match" capability for your building automation systems. Any protocol plug-in that we develop for any S4 Open product can be added as an expansion option to any other S4 Open product.
