Instructions ECA 82 LONworks in the ECL Comfort 200/300/301

1 Introduction

1.1 Scope

This ECA 82 option for ECL Comfort is based on Echelons® LONworks®. The ECA 82 can be used in ECL Comfort

200 and 300-301 series. In the remaining part of these instructions, the type designation ECL Comfort will be

used.

1.2 About the implementation in the LONworks protocol

The following instruction describes the parameters that can be communicated between a LONworks network

and ECL Comfort. The build-up of the physical network is not described. For further information see Echelons

homepage: http://www.echelon.com/.

The instruction is divided into three main sections:

1. The LonMark node object is used to the extent that functions are supported in ECL Comfort. The

functions from the node object that are supported in ECL Comfort are described in “Node object”.

2. The basic parameters behind weather compensation are described separately in the section on the

weather compensator object.

3. Parameters that are special for ECL Comfort are described separately in the manufacture-dened

section.

1.3 General information

1. The possibilities for communication depend on the application loaded in the ECL Comfort. This ECA

82 is designed to t all applications card. Hardware conguration settings and future parameters

might not be supported.

2. Only one kind of communication can be used in the ECL Comfort. It is not possible to run RS232

together with ECA 82 communication.

1.4 ECA 82 compatibility with other optional cards

ECA 71 ECA 73 ECA 80 ECA 81 ECA 83 ECA 84 ECA 85 ECA 86 ECA 87 ECA 88

No No Yes No Yes No Yes Yes No Yes

1.5 ECA 82 compatibility with the ECL Comfort controller and applications

ECA 82 is fully compatible with ECL Comfort controllers as of version 1.11. Older ECL Comfort controllers versions

are also compatible with ECA 82 but in some cases with limited functionality.

Instructions ECA 82 LONworks in the ECL Comfort 200/300/301

2 Getting started

The ECA 82 can be used together with ECL Comfort 200, 300 and 301. It is not possible to use the ECA 82

together with ECL Comfort 100.

Further information on the operation of ECL Comfort is comprised by the instructions supplied with the ECL

Card.

2.1 Installation

Step 1:

Dismount cover plate B on the back of the ECL Comfort using a small slice cutter nipper.

Step 2:

Mount ECA 82 in the slides and press it gently into the connector on the ECL Comfort print board.

Step 3:

Mount the new cover plate B, which is delivered with the option card.

DH-SMT/DK VI.7F.C5.02 © Danfoss 12/2007 3

Instructions ECA 82 LONworks in the ECL Comfort 200/300/301

Pin connection:

• 1: LON data 1, left side pin of the connector.

• 2: Middle pin of the connector. Do not use!

• 3: LON data 2, right side pin of the connector.

The FTT10 transceiver is based on a balanced bus. LON data 1 and 2 can be reversed.

2.2 Starting up

When starting up the ECA 82, a period of about 30 seconds will elapse during which the database from the

controller will be copied. During this starting up period it is not possible to come into contact with the ECA 82,

neither from ECL Comfort nor from the network. The starting-up period will occur on the reset/power up of the

controller/ECA 82, and when an application change is made in ECL Comfort.

After starting up, the following parameters can be activated via the ECL Comfort user interface:

• Line 196 in circuit I is the service pin.

• Line 197 in circuit I is the ECA 82 reset.

Lines 196 and 197 can be can accessed by scrolling down through the lines on the installer page (grey page) with

the arrow down key.

The lines can be activated/deactivated with the +/- keys (see the instructions for the application card).

At wink command, the display will ash until any key on ECL Comfort is pressed.

2.3 Service pin and neuron ID

The ECA 82 does not have any hardware service pin. The service pin is activated from the ECA 82 software

application. This means that it is not possible to send any service pin if the ECA 82 is put in non-congured

mode. If the ECA 82 anyhow is set in non-congured mode, the unique neuron ID number is required to set

the ECA 82 back in congured mode. If the ECA 82 is decommissioned or non-congured without having the

neuron ID, the ECA 82 is damaged! The system integrator is responsible for making a note of the neuron ID.

2.4 XIF le and program ID

The XIF le can be found on the internet.

Before using a XIF le, check the software version in the ECA 82. The software version can be read directly on

the memory IC on the ECA 82 card, see Figure 1 and Table 1. The Software version can also be found using the

network in parameter nviParamCmd/nvoParamResp, selector 1000, see 5.3.10.1 Software version in ECA 82.

When using the ECA 82, a XIF le which ts the software version is required.

¹) Can only be activated if the controller is set in manual mode by the network or controller user interface.

²) If the controller is parked in line B at the user’s side (yellow), the valve and pump status is overridden by the controller, in order to

give the locally positioned user a possibility manually to override the controller user interface. The override from the controller

user interface can be avoided in ECL Comfort 300 by removing the ECL card from the controller. Without the ECL card the controller

will lock the keyboard after 5 minutes. Line B on the user’s side is designed to secure that a manual control can be carried out

locally directly without distortions from the network.

Table 11: Conguration of ECL Comfort ow / energy input

4.8.1 Setting time constants

When the ECL Comfort CPU receives ow/ energy data, it will apply some ltering to the received data. Limiting

of ow/energy consumption takes place by integral control. For both these processes, i.e. the ltering of the

received data and the integral control, the ECL Comfort needs a time constant. These time constants are

determined by lines 113 and 112, respectively.

Lines 112 and 113 can be set for circuit I as well as circuit II. When setting the lines, you change between circuits I

and II by pressing the circuit I/II button.

Instructions ECA 82 LONworks in the ECL Comfort 200/300/301

Line Range Default value Description

112 1 – 250 40 Line 112 is a time constant for integral control of ow/energy limiting. A high value of

112 means fast control, a low value means slow (more stable) control

113 1 – 250 2 Line 113 is a time constant for digital ltering of ow/energy input data. When line 113

is set to 1, no ltering is applied. A high value of 113 means that a degree of ltering

applied

Table 12: Adjustment of time constants

4.8.2 Setting the ow or energy reference

Before the ECL Comfort can perform ow/energy limitation, a reference ow or energy value must be entered

for each circuit where ow/energy limitation should be active. The ow/energy reference value works dierently

for a heating circuit as for a domestic hot-water circuit.

Heating circuit:

For a heating circuit (circuit I or II in the ECL Comfort), the ow/energy reference is determined indirectly by the

ECL Comfort in accordance with the actual outdoor temperature. For a heating circuit the ECL Comfort thus

performs outdoor temperature dependent ow/energy limitation. The ECL Comfort Installer’s Guide (‘grey’

section, Service Parameters) describes the functions and set-up of return temperature limiting in a heating

circuit. Flow/energy limitation works according to the same principle. The ow/energy reference is determined

according to an outdoor temperature curve:

Desired ﬂow / energy

Line 116

Line 117

Outdoor temp.

-15 0 +15

Figure 4: Principle of the ow/energy limitation

The maximum and minimum of the curve shown in Figure 4 are determined by the lines 116 and 117,

respectively. The corresponding x-coordinates are identical to the x-coordinates of the return temperature

limitation curve. See the ECL Comfort Installer’s Guide on how to read and write the x-coordinates.

Line Range Default value Description

116 * 2999 Line 116 is the maximum y-coordinate of the ow/ energy limiting curve

117 * 2999 Line 117 is the minimum y-coordinate of the ow/ energy limiting curve

Table 13: Flow/energy limitation

For a domestic hot-water circuit, the ow/energy reference is entered directly into line 111.

4.11 General handling of outdoor temperature input

In order to use this input for weather compensation in the ECL Comfort, no physical outdoor sensor can be

connected. If a physical sensor is mounted, the outdoor temperature input will come from the ECL controller.

The physical sensor always has the highest priority.

The ECL Comfort must act as a slave (no outdoor sensor connected) in order to use outdoor sensor values from

the network. This inuences the possibility of combining the controller with other remote controllers: ECA 60,

ECA 61 and ECA 63.

The connection can be veried: Outdoor temperature is shown in the controller display at the user side, line A,

bottom left.
