ECLYPSE Introduction
The ECLYPSE series is a modular and scalable platform that is used to control a wide range
of HVAC applications. It supports BACnet/IP communication and is a listed BACnet Building
Controller (B-BC).
The ECY Series Controller consists of an automation and connectivity server, power supply,
and I/O extension modules.
This programmable Connected System Controller provides advanced functionality such as
customizable control logic, Web-based design and visualization interface (ENVYSION
embedded), logging, alarming, and scheduling.
This user guide also explains how to configure the ECLYPSE controller’s configuration
interfaces.
Network Security
Maintaining the highest level of network security, especially when IP devices are connected
to the Internet requires specially-trained personnel who are aware of the necessary
techniques to ensure continued protection. This must include the implementation of a Virtual
Private Network (VPN) to connect with IP controllers over the Internet. It is also important to
coordinate with Information Technology (IT) department personnel the use of shared
network resources.
The first connection to the ECY Series Controller uses a factory-default username and
password. You will then be forced to change the password to a strong password to protect
access to the controller.
Intended Audience
This user guide is intended for system designers, integrators, electricians, and field
