Description of operation
The ecos311 single-room controller enables energy-optimised room control and thus ensures mini-
mum energy consumption.
The single-room controller can be programmed with CASE Suite to fulfil the requirements of a wide
range of applications in room automation as a BACnet MS/TP controller – application-specific control-
ler (B-ASC). For example, the controller can be used for the control of fan coil units, chilled/heated
ceilings, radiator heaters, underfloor heating and VAV systems. When combined with an ecoUnit room
operating unit and additional ecoLink I/O modules, it can also perform further functions in the room
such as control of window blinds and lighting.

Intended use
This product is only suitable for the purpose intended by the manufacturer, as described in the “De-
scription of operation” section.
All related product regulations must also be adhered to. Changing or converting the product is not ad-
missible.

Engineering notes
The ecos311 controller can be fitted using a DIN rail (EN 60715) directly in the cabinet or at a suitable
location in the system.
The station is supplied with 230 V~. The unit must be protected against contact. The max. power of
the output (24 V~) (terminals 27…28) is 6 VA.
The plant devices are connected using screw terminals. Parallel laying of sensor lines and high-pow-
er current-carrying cables must be avoided. When running cables for analogue signals, such as in-
puts/outputs (0...10 V) and inputs (Ni/Pt1000), a separate grounding must be provided for every input

1) When the automation station is being used as a temperature controller, most temperature controller classes can
be fulfilled according to EU Directive 2010/30/EU, Regulation 811/2013. For information on the exact tempera-
ture class, please refer to the system integrator’s user program.

and output from the controller to the respective sensor or actuator. Shared ground wires lead to
measurement errors that may particularly affect small measuring signals.

DIP switches: Addressing, baud rate and voltage for room operating units
The controller requires a unique BACnet MAC address for the integration in a BACnet MS/TP net-
work. This MS/TP master address (0..127) must be set before switching on the controller via a DIP
switch (table with the binary value A1-A7). In the factory setting, the controller has the address “0”. It
is recommended to set aside the address “0” for the BACnet MS/TP router. For optimum BACnet
MS/TP communication all BACnet MS/TP MAC addresses must be assigned in continuously ascend-
ing order for each device. For the general communication in the BACnet network, a device instance
number must also be stored. The device instance number and other communication parameters (De-
vice Instance Number, Max. Master, Max. Info Frame) are set within the project using CASE Sun and
CASE Engine. It is recommended to label the DIP settings on the device, on the distributor box or on
the cabinet.

DIP switches B1-B3 define the BACnet MS/TP baud rate. The state on delivery is B=0/0/0 which cor-
responds to the baud rate 115.2 kbit/s. B=0/0/0 can also be used for the “AUTO” baud rate in the fu-
ture. For extended networks, a baud rate of 38.4 kbit/s (B=1/1/0) is recommended. Changes to the
DIP switches during operation only become active after switching on again.
DIP switch S3 “5V/15V” is used for the hardware configuration of the output voltage for the room op-
erating unit to be connected (terminal 1). SAUTER ecoUnit31*, 34* room operating units and the
ecoUnit580 EnOcean SLC wireless interface are supplied with +5V. Future SAUTER room operating
units can be supplied with +15V. In the factory setting, the DIP switch is set to +5V.

Fitting and power supply

The controller is a compact unit suitable for wall mounting on a DIN rail (35 mm).
The following conditions must be observed:
• The device may only be connected when the system is disconnected from the electrical supply.
• The plant devices are connected via screw terminals with the appropriate torques (see fitting in-
structions).

Right of amendment reserved © 2020 Fr. Sauter AG 3/13

Product data sheet 6.1 94.310

• The controller must be protected against contact.

• The device must not be installed in vibrating systems, e.g. on means of transport, because the vi-
brations can cause micro-interruptions in the relays.
• For terminals 5...28 and 33…38, the admissible conductor cross-section is min. 0.8 mm2, max.
2.5 mm2.
• In series to terminal L, the power supply (230 V~), a suitable external fuse (10 A slow-blow) must
be installed in accordance with applicable installation regulations.
• The 2A relays (terminals 35...37) with the L/LS connection (terminal 38) and the 10A relay (terminal
34) with phase connection L (terminal 33) are mains supply circuits and must be protected accord-
ingly.
• The semiconductor digital outputs (DO-FET) connect the loads, which can be supplied by the pow-
er supply (24 V~, terminals 27…28, max. 6 VA), to the ground.
• The universal inputs (terminals 13...22), analogue outputs (terminals 5...10) and RS-485 (D-, D+, C)
are SELV electrical circuits. SELV electrical circuits must be laid separately from the mains supply
circuits (low voltage) and the functional extra low voltage (FELV).
• 0…10 V analogue outputs must not be misused as DIM outputs.
• The national standards and installation rules must be adhered to.
• Special standards such as IEC/EN 61508, IEC/EN 61511, IEC/EN 61131-1, IEC/EN 61131-2 and
similar were not taken into account.
• Local standards regarding installation, application, access, access rights, accident prevention, safe-
ty, dismantling and disposal must be taken into account.
• Installation standards EN 50178, 50310, 50110, 50274, 61140 and similar ones must be adhered
to.
• For more information, see fitting instructions P1000016382.

Network and communication

• The communication wiring must be carried out correctly, be separated from the power-carrying wir-
ing and must adhere to the specifications of standards EN 50174-1, EN 50174-2 and EN 50174-3.
• The max. admissible bus length for the communication (BACnet MS/TP, SLC) depends on the ca-
ble type used and the correct terminating resistors. In general, a 4-wire shielded cable with twisted
wire pairs must be used (minimum 0.2 mm2, recommended minimum 0.5 mm2). Observe the cor-
rect polarity of all signals. The cable shield of the entire bus line must be connected continuously,
and connected to protective earth as directly as possible (max. 8 cm) at one location. This is to ach-
ieve optimum resistance to interference.
• For CAT-5 cables, as well as JYST-Y cables, a bus length of up to 500 m is possible for SLC and
up to 1000 m for BACnet MS/TP. In the case of RS-485 interfaces, the bus wiring must have line
topology. Star, tree or branch topologies are not recommended. The devices do not have internal
terminating resistors. Therefore, a terminating resistor of 120 Ω (0.25 W) must be connected at the
start and end of the bus line, parallel to the D+/D- data lines.
• For BACnet MS/TP segments, max. 50 ecos311 (each ½ unit load) are possible. However, it is rec-
ommended to keep the segments as small as possible; for the reactivity to the BACnet visualisa-
tions, around 30..40 ecos311 in an MS/TP segment is practical, with the MS/TP still having suffi-
ciently fast bus communication performance.
• For master-slave room zones with fast, synchronous switching, it is recommended to limit the num-
ber of BACnet MS/TP devices to 20..24 per segment.
• RS-485 repeaters are not recommended. Standard BACnet IP<>MS/TP routers with one or more
ports can integrate the MS/TP segments in a BACnet/IP higher-level BACnet network. Certified
BACnet routers are recommended (e.g. from Contemporary Controls, Loytec, MBS Software, …)
• For more information, see fitting instructions P1000015382.

Voltage measurement (U)

The voltage to be measured is connected between an input terminal and a ground terminal. The sig-
nal must be potential-free. Two measuring ranges are available 0…10 V and 0…1 V.

Current measurement (I)

A current measurement 0(4)…20 mA is possible via an external resistance. The current to be meas-
ured is connected parallel to the resistance at one of the input terminals and a ground terminal. The
accuracy of the current measurement is the result of the accuracy of the voltage input and the toler-
ance of the resistor. It is preferable to use a 50 Ω resistor in order to keep the effect of self-heating on
the accuracy to a minimum. The current signal must be potential-free. A separate ground terminal
must be used for the current measurement. Otherwise, zero-point shifts may lead to imprecise meas-
urements in the case of other measuring signals.

Product data sheet 6.1 94.310

Temperature measurement (Ni/Pt), resistance measurement (R)

The Ni/Pt1000 sensors and resistors are connected using two wires between one of the input termi-
nals and one of the related ground terminals. For the temperature measurement it is not recommen-
ded to use an external, shared ground point. The inputs require no calibration and can be used imme-
diately. Long sensor cables with corresponding cable resistance can be compensated in the plan. At a
cable resistance of 2 Ω (cable cross-section 1.5 mm2, 85 m) of an Ni1000 sensor, the function module
CH_AI receives the scaling parameters Offset b = –0.435 and Scaling a = 1 (for operating point
21 °C). Other cable resistances can be calculated and can be compensated via the parameterisation
in CASE Engine. The measuring range for the resistance measurement is limited to 2500 Ω. If line
break detection is desired, a threshold of, for example, 2400 Ω can be set in the automation program
(ecos311).

Potentiometer (Pot)
This configuration is used to record the position of the potentiometer in the range 0…100%. The nom-
inal resistance of the potentiometer is connected between the 10 V output (terminal 11/12) and a
ground terminal. The sliding contact of the potentiometer is connected to one of the input terminals.
Terminals 11 and 12 are used exclusively to supply the potentiometers, as shown in the connection
diagram. The output must not be connected to other devices. If multiple potentiometers are connec-
ted to terminals 11 and 12, the specified max. load must be adhered to. The ratiometric measuring
method compares the sliding contact voltage at the input with the voltage at the 10 V output and de-
termines the position of the potentiometer in the range 0…100 %. The cable resistance can restrict
the measuring range (0-100%), and this can be considered in the engineering and evaluation.

Digital inputs (DI)

The digital input function can be used with both potential-free contacts and voltage signals. Potential-
free contacts and voltage signals are connected between an input terminal and a ground terminal.
Digital inputs are generally used as alarm/status inputs. Therefore, an open contact corresponds to
the state 0 - INACTIVE (bit=0). A closed contact corresponds to the state I - ACTIVE (bit=1). This as-
signment, defined as normal polarity, can be inverted using CASE Engine if required.

Analogue outputs (AO)

Number of outputs 3
Type of outputs 0(2)...10 V
Load ≤ 2 mA
Resolution 0.1 V
Accuracy ±0.4 V
Refresh rate ≤ 100 ms (ecos311)
Settling time 1s

The output voltage is taken from between the relevant output terminal and a ground terminal. Every
output can be subjected to a load of 2 mA (the outputs do not have an active sink capability). The
analogue output is short circuit-proof and grounded and is protected from external voltage. However,
permanent short-circuiting of multiple outputs leads to their thermal destruction. A short circuit of the
AO or the reference output +10V can also cause undesired I/O states (e.g. drops in the relays) in the
device.

The relay outputs are supplied via a common feed L/LS (terminal 38). The relay contacts are intended
to activate fan coil units. The relays have an increased start-up current compatibility. Peak inrush cur-

rent at relay contact NO (work contact) 30 A for a maximum of 20 ms. In operating status, the total

The relay output has a separate feed L (terminal 33). The relay contact is for controlling units with
higher power such as a pump or a heating coil. The relay has an increased start-up current compati-
bility. Peak inrush current at relay contact NO (work contact) 80 A for a maximum of 20 ms. Real
feedback is only possible via a digital input.

The actuator to be switched (e.g. thermal actuator) is connected directly to the semiconductor switch
terminal. For thermal actuators, the power supply can be taken from the terminal (24 V~). Real feed-
backs are only possible via digital inputs. Actuators with high start-up currents (e.g. motor protection)
must not be used with the power supply (24 V~); an overload (> 0.25 A) of the output (24 V) is pre-
vented via a thermal polyfuse (PTC); in this case an external transformer (24 V) must be used, where-
by the switch rating of the MOS-FET must not exceed 0.5 A.

BACnet and DDC function with CASE Suite

The ecos311 room controller is a BACnet MS/TP device as per BACnet device profile B-ASC (BAC-
net Application Specific Controller) with the additional support of BACnet Schedule and Calendar ob-
jects. The controller is programmable with function blocks with CASE Suite. The program is downloa-
ded to the controller via a BACnet router with CASE Engine. The switch-on phase of the controller is
around 10 seconds. The controller has a plan cycle time of 100 ms. Relevant process data (e.g. set-
point as Present Value of an AV object) can be parameterised so that it is saved persistently (serial
battery-supported SRAM). A firmware update (BACnet standard methods) can be performed with
CASE Sun via a BACnet router.

plementation Conformance Statement) and the online help for CASE Suite.

Integration of the inputs and outputs, the ecoLink modules and the room operating unit with
CASE Suite
The engineering of the inputs and outputs of the ecos311 and the ecoLink modules is performed us-
ing CASE Suite. When an ecos311 room controller is selected in the BACnet MS/TP network plan, it
can be created for one, two or up to eight master-slave rooms in an AS group. The types and ad-
dresses of the required ecoLink modules (1,2) and room operating unit (1) are then defined in the
Definition module within CASE Engine. After this, all the inputs/outputs of the ecos311, the ecoLink
modules and the room operating unit can be used in CASE Engine as a channel (CH_Ax, CH_Bx)
and as a ROOM_UNIT and be mapped to BACnet data points (value objects).

Time, battery
The controller has an internal clock with a date (Real-Time Clock). If the power supply is interrupted,
the time (RTC) is preserved by the button-cell battery (CR2032). The accuracy of the time is around
50 ppm (max. 30 minutes per year). It is possible to use BACnet time synchronisation services such
as DM-UTC and DM-TS in order to synchronise all controllers to the same time. When the LED flash-
es orange, this means that the battery must be replaced. See also fitting instructions. After the battery
is replaced, the time and date on the controller must be reset using CASE or BACnet.

24 VAC output - notes on the internal transformer

The internal transformer with an output voltage of 24 V~ is designed for a load of max. 6 VA / 0.25 A.
Terminals 27, 28 supply 24 V~ (max. 0.25 A) for direct control of an AXT thermal actuator for unit
valves. The semiconductor switch (MOS-FET) switches the load to ground. For AXT, the DO-FET can
be activated quasi-continuously with a PWM algorithm. The technical documentation of the respective
actuators must be considered. The open-circuit voltage of the output (24 V~) depends on the primary-
side 230 V~ power supply and is around 28.5 V~. For a supply of 200 V~ (230 V~ –13%) at around
25 V~ and at +10% for around 31 V~. When there is a load on the output, the voltage decreases qua-
si-linearly (around 1.5 V per 100 mA). If devices are supplied by the output (24 V~) (terminals 27, 28),
these tolerances must be considered. If required, it must be ensured that the power supply is not over
230 V~ so that the devices can be operated within their supply tolerances (±15% / ±20%) (see dia-
gram).

Note

) SAUTER motorised small valve drives (AXM) have a supply tolerance of +/-15% at 24 V~. AXM must not
be connected to the 24 V~ output of the ecos311. The actuators must be powered by an external trans-
former that meets the AXM supply tolerances.

Parallel operation of multiple thermal actuators

Using an external transformer:
If the internal transformer (6 VA) is not sufficient to supply the actuators, an external transformer (e.g.
0450573001, 42 VA) can be used to connect multiple actuators with the MOS-FET semiconductor
outputs (each max. 0.5 A). The external transformer must have the secondary ground connected to
terminal 22, and universal inputs should use different GND terminals (e.g. terminal 20).
