Andover ContinuumTM
NetController II
CPU Module
The Andover ContinuumTM NetController II is a redesigned version
of the NetController, a high-powered Central Processing Unit
(CPU) module and network manager for the Andover Continuum
intelligent building system.
Andover Continuum NetController II CPU Module
Features
With its 128 MB DDR SDRAM, 32 MB flash,
and four programmable communications
ports (including an interface to Infinity’s
Infinet distributed controllers), the
NetController II provides a total solution
for facility-wide network communications
and information management. Of the total
DDR SDRAM memory, 12 MB is allocated for
application and run-time data and 48 MB
for personnel records.

The NetController II is compatible with Andover
Continuum CyberStation
higher, and includes new features such as network
security, condition level, area lockdown, and email.
(CyberStation v1.74 SP2 is compatible with the
NetController II but is limited to the features that do
not require v1.8 for support.)
TM
software version 1.8 and
NetController Compatible
The NetController II has been designed to replace
the original NetController. Since the form factor
has not changed, the NetController II can be
substituted for a NetController and plug into the
same enclosure, power supply, and I/O modules as
a drop-in replacement. Additionally, the NetController
II supports 24 VAC power sources allowing low cost
AC transformers to power the NetController II for
non-I/O module applications. The NetController II
can also co-exist on the same Andover Continuum
system along with the original NetController.
High-Speed Communication
The NetController II acts as the system coordinator,
providing integrated global control and monitoring,
history logging, and local and remote logging for
both the Andover Continuum I/O modules and
the RS-485 Infinet controllers that control your
individual building services — heating, ventilation,
air conditioning, lighting, access control, and more.
The NetController II communicates with up to 32
Andover Continuum I/O modules via Andover LON
communications over a choice of RS-485 or free
topology bus media. The NetController II supports
Schneider Electric SDS-C-NETCONTROLLER-II-US.BU.N.EN.6.2008.0.00.CC
