IOM3731-0A Expansion Input/Output Installation
Guide
Application
The IOM3731-0A expansion module is part of the
Metasys
®
system Field Equipment Controller family.
Input/Output expansion modules (IOMs) expand the
number of input/output points connected to either a
Network Automation Engine (NAE), Network Control
Engine (NCE), Advanced Application Field Equipment
Controller (FAC), Field Equipment Controller (FEC),
or Variable Air Volume Modular Assembly (VMA)
to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC
equipment.
IOM expansion modules operate on an RS-485
BACnet
®
MS/TP bus and integrate into Johnson
Controls and third-party BACnet systems. IOMs
communicate using the BACnet MS/TP protocol
when directly connected to the FC bus.
Note:
With Release 10.1 and later of the
Controller Configuration Tool (CCT), VMAs, FECs,
and FACs can be configured to communicate
by using either the BACnet MS/TP or the N2
field bus networking protocol. The operation of
the IOM is not affected by the selection of the
BACnet MS/TP or the N2 protocol in the host
controller, when the IOM is connected to the
host controller using the SA bus.
