Introduction

DECS 2.0The Danfoss Energy Control System (DECS) is a web-based SCADA software solution (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) for district heating systems.

This SCADA solution is typically installed locally at the heating utility and will automatically configure its user interface and functionality to support the application on the controller (for example Danfoss ECL Comfort 310).

The user of the DECS 2.0 system is able to remote control and monitor the parameters settings in the controllers and also monitor actual, reference and historical values of sensors and meters connected to the controller.

Danfoss ECL Comfort 310, OPR0010 and OPR0020 controllers are supported by the auto-configuration features of DECS 2.0, but other district heating controllers, e.g. the ECL Apex 20 controller, can also be supported by manually adding graphics and programs into DECS 2.0.

This user guide is intended for operators at district heating utilities who monitor district heating in cities and/or larger plants as well as owners/operators of stand-alone district heating plants to ease the daily monitoring work. Data is constantly exchanged between controllers and the DECS 2.0 server, and configuration reports and alarm reports are generated automatically. In addition the heating station and substation installations can be controlled and monitored from everywhere, as the server provides an intuitive user interface that is accessible from any standard browser on a PC, laptop or smartphone connected to the internet.

The present user guide contains detailed explanation of the features in the DECS 2.0 system. If you need further information on controllers to be used together with the DECS 2.0 system, please see the below literature reference.
