9.11.1 - ECSBus system

ECSBus is a system that allows for connecting ECSBus devices using just two wires, which convey both electricity and communication signals. All

the devices are connected in parallel on the two ECSBus wires; each device is recognised individually by the control unit, thanks to an unambiguous

address assigned to each device during installation.

Photocells and other devices adopting this system can be connected to the ECSBus, such as safety devices, control buttons, indicator lights etc. For

information on ECSBus devices, consult the Nice Home range product catalogue or visit the website www.niceforyou.com

Through a recognition procedure the control unit recognises one-by-one all the devices connected and this enables it to detect with extreme precision

all possible anomalies during the automation's normal operation. For this reason, whenever a device connected to the ECSBus is added or removed, it

is necessary to repeat the recognition procedure for these additional devices (Par. 9.2.1).

9.11.2 - Stop input

The Stop input causes the immediate stoppage and a brief inversion of the manoeuvre; both devices with normally open (NO) contacts and devices

with normally closed (NC) contacts can be connected to this input, as well as devices with 8.2 kΩ constant resistance (e.g. sensitive edges). With suit-

able arrangements, multiple devices – even of different type – (read Table 9) can be connected to the Stop input.

8.2 kΩ In parallel

CAUTION! – If the Stop input is used to connect devices with safety functions, only the devices with 8.2 kΩ constant resistance output

guarantee Category 3 safety against faults.

Similarly to the ECSBus, the control unit recognises the type of device connected to the Stop input when the recognition procedure is carried out.

Subsequently, the system triggers a STOP when any variation occurs with respect to the recognised status.

9.11.3 - Product durability

Durability is the average economic lifespan of the product. The durability value is strongly influenced by the degree of severity of the manoeuvres, in

other words, the sum of all factors that contribute to product wear (Table 10). To estimate the life span of your automated device, proceed as follows:

01. Add up all the values of the entries in Table 10;

02. In Graph 1, from the value obtained above, trace a vertical line until it intersects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it intersects

the line of the "manoeuvre cycles". The value obtained is the estimated lifetime of your product.

lower than 0°C, or humidity greater than 80%

Presence of dust, sand or salinity

Note – The data refers to a sliding gate which is properly balanced and in good work-

ing order

The durability values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the maintenance schedule is strictly observed (Chapter 7). The lifetime is estimated on

the basis of design calculations and the results of tests performed on prototypes. Being only an estimate, it does not constitute any form of guarantee

on the actual lifespan of the product.
