ECP-600 & ECx-400 Series

LonWorks Programmable Controllers and Extension Modules

Overview

The ECP-600 Series are microprocessor-based

programmable controllers designed to control various
building automation applications such as multi-zone air
handling units and central plant applications. This series
supports up to two ECx modules. These are I/O extension
modules that operate off of a separate sub-bus, giving this
controller a total of up to 40 universal inputs and 36
universal outputs. The ECP-600 series controllers use the
®
LonTalk communication protocol and are LONMARK certified
as a Multi-I/O module.
This series contains two models as follows: ECP-600 and
ECP-610. The ECP-600 series support various input types
including resistance, voltage, and digital-based ones.
Moreover, it provides digital, floating, pulse width
modulation, and proportional control for valves, pumps,
heating elements, fan, and lighting applications. In
Applications particular, the ECP-610 has the added convenience of
Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) switches and potentiometers for

Features & Benefits
 Use the EC-gfxProgram’s state-of-the-art visual programming wizard to create operation sequences that meet specific
AX AX
engineering specifications. EC-gfxProgram is accessible through EC-Net Pro which is powered by the Niagara -based
management platform.
 Accelerate custom programming development by using pre-built HVAC control sequences supplied with EC-gfxProgram.
 An optional Wireless Receiver supports up to 9 wireless battery-less sensors, allowing you to create wire-free installations.
 Universal inputs support thermistors and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) that range from 100 Ohms to 100 000
Ohms, giving you the freedom of using your preferred or engineer-specified sensors, in addition to any existing ones.
 LONMARK certified, guaranteeing interoperability and interchangeability with other manufacturers’ LONMARK-approved
controllers that use the same profile
 With 16 universal inputs and 12 universal outputs, this plant controller series covers all medium to large-size industry-
standard HVAC applications. With up to two extendible I/O modules that operate off of a separate sub-bus, this plant
controller can have a total of up to 40 universal inputs and 36 universal outputs.
 HOA switches and potentiometers, allowing you to override control actions for testing purposes or when performing
equipment maintenance.

Wireless Receiver Models

To reduce the cost of installation, and minimize the impact on existing partition walls, the Wireless Receiver enables every
controller from this series to communicate with a line of wireless battery-less room sensors and switches.
Wireless Receiver (315 MHz) - Receiver for EnOcean® 315MHz wireless-enabled sensors and switches

Wireless Receiver (868 MHz) - Receiver for EnOcean® 868.3MHz wireless-enabled sensors and switches

Note that controllers have one wireless port to support a single Wireless Receiver.
For more information about the EnOcean technology and Open-to-Wireless, refer to the Wireless Resource Guide. For more information about the Wireless
Receiver module, refer to the Wireless Receiver Datasheet. These documents can be found on our web site at www.distech-controls.com.
