About this file

This is a product specification and ordering guide for the EC-BOS-9, a compact embedded controller and server platform manufactured by Distech Controls. The document details the hardware specifications, software licensing options, expansion modules, and accessories required to configure a fully functional system.

The EC-BOS-9 is a building automation controller featuring a NXP iMX8M+ Quad Core processor, 2GB RAM, and removable 8GB micro-SD card. It includes two isolated RS-485 ports, two 10/100/1000MB Ethernet ports, optional WiFi capability (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), and operates on 24VAC/DC power with consumption of 24VA or 24W respectively. To order a fully functional system, three components are required: the EC-BOS-9 hardware unit, EC-BOS-9 Core Software (available in five device/point configurations ranging from 5 devices/250 points to 200 devices/10000 points), and a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) with a minimum initial term of 18 months, with optional 3- or 5-year plans available. Optional additions include EC-BOS-9 Device Integration Packs (supporting additional 10, 25, or 50 devices), EC-Net Access Pack for physical access control licensing 32 readers, a wall plug module power adapter, and expansion modules including LON FTT10A, dual RS-485, RS-232, IO modules (IO-R-16 and IO-R-34), and EC-Net Access remote reader and remote I/O modules. The system operates with EC-Net Facilities software version 4.13.2 or later and complies with UL 916, CE EN 61326-1, and FCC Part 15 standards, with an MTTF rating of 10+ years and operating temperature range of -20 to 60°C.

EC-BOS-9

Overview The EC-BOS-9 is a compact, embedded controller and server platform for connecting multiple and diverse devices and sub-systems. With Internet connectivity and Webserving capability, the EC‑BOS‑9 provides integrated control, supervision, data logging, alarming, scheduling and network management. It streams data and graphical displays to a standard Web browser via an Ethernet or wireless LAN, or remotely over the Internet.

The EC-BOS-9 operates with the EC-NetTM Facilities web-based building management platform powered by the Niagara Framework®.

Features & Benefits

• Scalable licensing model and modular hardware make the EC-BOS-9 suitable for installation in small buildings, as well as across large multi-unit campuses when combined with an EC-Net Facilities Supervisor

• Integrates many communication protocols and automation systems including HVAC, lighting, energy, physical access, video, and industrial/processing

• Two on-board isolated RS-485 ports for connecting to various common networks, e.g.

BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU

• Option modules for additional physical network connections, e.g. LonWorks© FTT-10A, RS-232, RS-485, and Wiegand access control readers

Model Selection To order a fully functional EC-BOS-9, the following three components are required: EC-BOS-9, Core Software, Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA).

If ordering a demo core, an SMA is not required. Refer to the EC-Net Facilities Selection Tool to calculate the required components.

EC-BOS-9 Series Example: EC-BOS-9 with Permanently Disabled WiFi

Series WiFi Settinga

EC-BOS-9: EC-BOS-9 includes two isolated RS485 ports, two 10/100/1000MB Ethernet ports and microSD card

With WiFi (Americas): WiFi setting for enabling WiFi on EC-BOS-9 units installed in the US or Canada.

With Permanently Disabled WiFi: WiFi setting for permanently disabling WiFi on EC-BOS-9 units.

aRefer to the EC-BOS-9 Global Shipping Guide for more information.

EC-BOS-9 Core Software Example: EC-BOS-9 Core - 100 Devices/5000 Points

Series Devices/Pointsa

EC-BOS-9 Core: EC-BOS-9 core software. Includes standard open drivers. Requires EC-Net Facilities 4.13.2 or higher. Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) must be purchased in conjunction with core software.

5 Devices/250 Points: Supports up to 5 devices and 250 points.

10 Devices/500 Points: Supports up to 10 devices and 500 points.

25 Devices/1250 Points: Supports up to 25 devices and 1250 points.

100 Devices/5000 Points: Supports up to 100 devices and 5000 points.

N/A aDevices/Points cannot be added to the Demo version (EC-BOS-9 Core – Demo) of the EC-BOS-9 core software.

For more information regarding the EC-Net Facilities drivers currently offered by Distech Controls, refer to the EC-Net Facilities Drivers Reference Guide.

EC-BOS-9 Software Maintenance Agreement Software maintenance is required when purchasing an EC-BOS-9. The minimum initial software maintenance plan is 18 months. Optional 3- or 5-year maintenance may be substituted.

If Maintenance coverage is not purchased for any period, the price of Maintenance for the next period for which it is purchased will be (a) the Maintenance fee for the period(s) for which Maintenance was not purchased; and (b) the Maintenance fee for the next year.

These software maintenance plans are ordered separately according to the EC-BOS-9 model chosen. See the price list for more details. Take advantage of the Asset Manager online tool to receive notifications about SMA expirations and Enterprise SMA to align all SMA expiration dates to a single one for the entire system.
