At a warehouse site I found an FX-40 with Johnson controllers (N2 bus).They also have some ,Honeywell Excell controllers,up and working good.They like the FX 40 and the associated graphics.Today I was asked if we could also connect the Honeywell controllers to the FX 40.I logged on to the FX with IE and noticed that there are only three drivers N2 Bacnet and Lon.Is it possible to add a Honeywell proprietary network card and driver to the existing FX-40,and having the Johnson controllers on the same controller?I noticed that Niagara
has the actual JACE without the Johnson name.I am looking for a rather fast and relatively inexpensive solution.

most xl controllers are just basic lon controllers.

the exception is the 15c. the points will be very confusing to decipher.

I concur.

If they're the LCBS xl10 type, you should be able to connect them up to the existing FX40 LON.
Don't expect to run any HW wizards from the FX.
