Introduction
This document describes best practices, specifications, wiring rules, and application
information to implement robust and reliable communications networks.
About the ECY Series Controller
The ECY Series Controller 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 networks
and Wi-Fi to communication on wireless networks.
This user guide also explains how to connect to the ECLYPSE controller’s configuration
interfaces.
About the IP Protocol Suite
Distech Controls’ ECLYPSE Series 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 firewalled-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.
ECLYPSE Series 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/Token-Passing (MS/TP) communications data bus (based on the
EIA-485 medium) as a local network for internetworking of supervisory controllers and field
controllers.
