8 ECLYPSE Connected Thermostat (ECY-STAT)
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Overview
This document describes best practices, specifications, wiring rules, and application information to im-
plement robust and reliable communications networks.
About the ECLYPSE Connected Thermostat
The ECLYPSE Connected Thermostat (ECY-STAT) is a modular and scalable platform that is used to
control a wide range of HVAC applications. It uses IP protocol to communicate on wired Ethernet net-
works and Wi-Fi to communication on wireless networks.
This user guide also explains how to connect to the ECY-STAT’s configuration interfaces.
About the IP Protocol Suite
Distech Controls’ ECY-STAT controllers use a widely used IP protocol to communicate with each other
and with other applications for control and supervision. What is commonly referred to as IP is actually
a multi-layered protocol suite that reliably transmits data over the public Internet and privately fire-
walled-off intranets. As integral part of our interconnected world, this protocol is used by applications
such as the World Wide Web, email, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), datashares, and so on.
ECY-STAT controllers are able to work across geographic boundaries as a unified entity for control
and administration purposes.
About BACnet®
The BACnet
®
ANSI/ASHRAE™ Standard 135-2008 specifies a number of Local Area Network (LAN)
transport types. Distech Controls’ controllers support both BACnet/IP and BACnet Master-Slave/To-
ken-Passing (MS/TP) communications data bus (based on the EIA‑485 medium) as a local network for
inter-networking of supervisory controllers and field controllers.
