EX-gfx Graphical Programming Interface
Distech Controls
Distech Controls EC-gfxProgram is a graphical programming interface that allows you to visually assemble building blocks together as necessary to create a custom control sequence for any HVAC/building automation application.
By “dragging and dropping” a few block objects from the EC-gfxProgram’s vast library and connecting them with a simple “click, select, and release” process, you can quickly and easily assemble common control sequences and customised applications specific to your needs.
Designed to program Distech Controls’ ECB Series BACnet®, ECL Series LONWORKS®, and ECLYPSETM ECY Series controllers.
Graphical Programming Interface for Programmable Controllers
BAS Graphical Programming Interface
- Block-oriented programming reduces user’s learning curve and results in fewer errors making it a faster and more intuitive programming method.
- Customisable blocks enable the creation of unique functions and programs.
- Reduces language barriers in international environments.
Access Methods for ECB, ECL, and ECY Series Controllers
Launch EC-gfxProgram in different ways to connect to your ECB, ECL, and ECY Series controllers using:
- The EC-NetAX Wizard for ECB, ECL, and ECY Series controllers
- The LNS Plug-in such as Lonwatcher 3 for ECL controllers
- Standalone access (PC’s desktop) for a direct connection to ECY Series controllers
-
For use with EC-NetAX, or standalone (LNS, BACnet, ECLYPSE BACnet/IP)
-
Provides an intuitive and customizable block-oriented programming environment
-
Complete with gfxApplications, an extensive library of pre-engineered, energy-efficient HVAC applications
-
Supplied toolbox includes more than 100 pre-defined functions including HVAC, Comparators, Logic, Math, Time, Input/Output, among others, to simplify programming and reduce programming time
-
Create your own standard code libraries and toolboxes from previously used code or code sections to save programming time
-
Features a step-by-step Configuration Assistant to facilitate custom programming, simplifying onsite installation and commissioning
-
Supports large deployments with multiple device code downloading
-
Easily troubleshoot your application in real-time through live-debugging and a Watch List to monitor specific process variables and detect errors as they occur
-
Codes and projects created for ECL LONWORKS, ECB BACnet or ECLYPSE Series controllers can be “ported” or “converted” to be re-used on all your projects, regardless of protocol or product series.
