xpressNetwork Utility
Batch Configuration & Software Update Tool for ECLYPSE Controllers
Overview
Features & Benefits
The xpressNetwork Utility saves you time and
cost by giving you increased control over multiple ECLYPSE controllers through device discovery and batch operations such as configuring
and updating multiple ECLYPSE controllers on
the network. It also allows you to directly access
the controller’s Web interface or launch EC-gfxProgram to program the controllers.
Batch Configuration
Increase productivity using the xpressNetwork
Companion mobile app, making it easier to identify and locate a controller on the network. Use
the QR Code marked on ECLYPSE controllers
to easily collect key controller data and to facilitate its network integration with xpressNetwork
Utility.
In addition, with the embedded step by step
Commissioning Wizard, all configuration operations can be setup and applied in one go.
Applications
£
£
The xpressNetwork Utility can be used to
batch configure and update one or more
ECLYPSE controllers found on the available
IP networks (Wired and/or Wi-Fi).
The xpressNetwork Companion mobile app
can be used on ECLYPSE controllers to collect MAC address and define a hostname to
easily locate the controller on the network.
Update the configuration settings (Ethernet, WiFi, BACnet, RADIUS Server, Web Interface configuration settings) for a series of controllers by
making the changes only once. The xpressNetwork Utility then pushes these settings into the
selected devices.
The xpressNetwork Utility saves on network
configuration and maintenance time by eliminating the need for individual device configuration.
Batch Firmware Update
Update the server or I/O module firmware for a
group of controllers with minimal effort using the
xpressNetwork Utility.
Send the updates simultaneously into each selected controller, saving you time and avoiding
repetitive tasks.
Batch ENVYSION and EC-gfxProgram
Project Download
The xpressNetwork Utility features options that
allow you to perform batch ENVYSION project
downloads and batch EC-gfxProgram project
downloads on a selection of ECLYPSE devices,
without having to open each and every device to
make the changes.
Action Log & History
Keep track of all tasks/jobs and job statuses
performed by the xpressNetwork Utility through
the Job History and Log History.
xpressNetwork Companion Mobile App
£
£
£
Designed to simplify the task of system integrators by allowing them to easily scan the
QR code on the ECLYPSE controllers to obtain the MAC address and quickly assign a
hostname to it.
Export the collected data into xpressNetwork
Utility and save time when commissioning
the network.
For use on any Smartphone or tablet running Android OS or Apple iOS. The xpressNetwork Companion is available from both
the Apple App Store and Google Play™
store.
Device List Import & Export
Save an existing list of devices to a .csv file and
reload it when a remote connection to the controllers is required and device discovery is not
possible. The .csv file can also be used for documentation purposes.
Multi-Interface Discovery
Discover all ECLYPSE controllers that are connected to all network cards (Ethernet and Wi-Fi)
of your PC or focus on a specific network card
to facilitate batch configuration.
EC-gfxProgram Launch Button
Launch EC-gfxProgram directly from the xpressNetwork Utility, to program one or more controllers on the network. Visually assemble building blocks together to create a custom control
sequence for any HVAC / building automation
application.
For more information on how to use the xpressNetwork Companion mobile app, refer to the
xpressNetwork Utility User Guide.
Configuration Wizard
The xpressNetwork Utility features a Configuration Wizard that guides the user through the
controller’s network and configuration parameters. The Configuration Wizard also manages
firmware updates and EC-gfxProgram and ENVYSION projects download.
The Configuration Wizard also has other advanced functions such as saving configuration
projects, filtering with tags, and importing device
database which allows the user to re-use engineering documents and information from previous project phases. Export configuration settings into an excel file where it can be easily
modified so that the data can be then re-imported into the configuration wizard for faster
network configuration.
