June 30, 2011, Montreal, Quebec, Canada – Distech Controls released ECL-600 Series microprocessor-based programmable controllers, designed to control a wide variety of HVAC systems such as air handling units, chillers, boilers, pumps, cooling towers, and central plant applications. The Series’ two models – the ECL-600 and ECL-610 – use the LonTalk communication protocol, and have LONMARK Static Programmable Device certification. The ECL-600 Series features a robust hardware platform and is fully programmable using Distech Controls’ EC-gfxProgram graphical programming interface, providing increased efficiency and options for system design, installation, service, and maintenance.
The ECx-400 Series I/O extension modules extend the capacity of the ECL-600 Series to a total of 76 points, allowing the controllers to meet most medium to large application requirements. In addition, with the introduction of this new Series, Distech Controls now offers a common hardware and software platform for BACnet and LONWORKS. Distech Controls also introduced EC-gfxProgram 4.0, its powerful and intuitive common graphical programming interface for Distech Controls’ LONWORKS and BACnet controllers.
A true open system offering, EC-gfxProgram 4.0 significantly increases productivity at installation, reduces overall project cost, and allows for optimized equipment operation.
