Configure VAV box configurations for VAV controller pre-loaded applications
BACK TO MENU

14. EC-Smart-Vue: A Commissioning Tool
EC-Smart-Vue as a Commissioning tool for all ECB controllers Once connected to an ECB controller, the EC-Smart-Vue can be used to perform commissioning tasks:
Setting ECB controller’s MAC address:
Set all DIP switch to 0 (apply to ECB-203 and over)
Use the Gen Conf menu to access the MAC ADDRESS
Setting ECB controller’s Baud rate:
The default Baud rate for all ECB controllers is set to AUTO (recommended)
The Bus Master (EC-BOS) should be the reference Baud rate (if present)
Otherwise, set the Baud rate on one controller on the bus by using the Gen Conf menu to access the BAUD RATE
Accessing the BACnet MS/TP LAN:
The EC-Smart-Vue Sub-Network cable also brings the BACnet MS/TP Network to the sensor for installation and maintenance purposes
The LAN is made available at the communications jack (stereo jack)
To commission a controller with a DIP switch located on the
faceplate, first set the DIP switch to 0 (all off). When using an
EC-Smart-Vue for commissioning ECB Series controllers (before
code is downloaded to the controller from EC-gfxProgram), connect
an EC-Smart-Vue to the controller with its Subnet ID set to 1. During
commissioning, the EC-Smart-Vue is used to set the controller’s
BACnet MAC Address.
For ECB-VAV controllers, commissioning can be used to perform application selection if needed. Applications
are pre-loaded programs that enable the ECB-VAV to control a typical VAV box.
By default, the BAUD rate for the controller is set to automatically
detect the current communication BAUD rate of the connected
BACnet MS/TP network (AUTO). This is the preferred setting for a
controller. However, at least one controller on the BACnet MS/TP
network data bus must have its BAUD rate set as previously mentioned.
The EC-Smart-Vue Sub-Network cable also brings the BACnet MS/TP Network to the sensor for installation and maintenance purposes and is accessible via the on-board stereo audio jack.

16. Sub-Network Overview
The diagram depicts a typical Sub network configuration, using both EC-Smart-Vue Sensors and ECX Modules.
The total allotted length of a Smart Vue Sub Bus is 200m or 650 feet. The total allotted length of the ECX module sub Bus is 300m or 1000 feet.
However it is important to note that when both the Smart Vue and ECX modules are used, the total combined length of the sub bus should not exceed 1000 Feet.
BACK TO MENU

17. Sub-Network Description
The Sub-Network on the ECL and ECB lines of controllers is used to communicate with communicating peripherals made by Distech Controls like:
EC-Smart-Vue
ECx I/O modules
Like BACnet MS/TP, the Sub-Network Bus uses the EIA-485 standard for data transmission;
however this bus uses another protocol better adapted for this type of network.
The ECB-600 and ECL-600 controllers use the Sub-Network bus to support the ECx
Series Extension I/O Modules through 2-wire shielded cable.
All Distech Controls ECB and ECL-600 controllers use the Sub-Network bus to support one
or more EC-Smart-Vue(s) using standard structural cabling.
For the EC-Smart-Vue, the Sub-Network Bus also extends the BACnet MS/TP LAN to the EC-Smart-Vue room sensor to
provide convenient network access for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
The Sub-Network works with RS-485 transceivers, that makes the wiring and addressing methods very similar to the BACnet MS/TP bus, but it is NOT part of the BACnet Network.

18. Sub-Network: Subnet ID
Setting the EC-Smart-Vue Subnet ID (Subnet MAC Address)
The default Subnet ID for an EC-Smart-Vue is set to 1
Keep default Subnet ID of 1 if there is only one EC-Smart-Vue connected to the controller
If you have more then 1 EC-Smart-Vue on the Sub-Network, change the Subnet ID on each one to a unique number as follows:
Connect the EC-Smart-Vue to the controller. Wait for the Bell icon and the number 1 to flash on the display
Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to enter the password menu is shown on the display
Use the down button to set the number to 9995 (this is the default password)
Use the Menu button to select SUBNET ID. The current controller’s Subnet ID is shown
Use the up and down buttons to set the controller’s Subnet ID
Press the Menu button once to validate and save your selection
Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to exit the configuration menu.
The default Subnet ID for an EC-Smart-Vue is 1. To
commission an ECB Series controller, the EC-Smart-Vue’s Subnet
ID must be set to 1. If the EC-Smart-Vue’s Subnet ID has been set
to another value (for example, the display flashes error code 1), change the Subnet ID to 1 as follows:
1. Connect an EC-Smart-Vue to the controller with a Cat 5e patch
cable. Wait for the error code to flash on the
display.
2. Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to enter the
password menu.
3. Use the down button to set the number to 9995 (which is the
default password).
4. Use the Menu button to select SUBNET ID.
5. Use the up and down buttons to set the controller’s
Subnet ID.
6. Press the Menu button once to save the setting.
7. Press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds to exit the
configuration menu.
The EC-Smart-Vue can now be used to go from one ECB series
controller to the next for commissioning purposes.
