Description of operation
The modulo 6 system family comprises a series of automation stations and I/O and COM modules for
building automation for the BACnet/IP system bus.
The modu680-AS automation station is a modular, freely programmable BACnet Building Controller
(B-BC) for the automation of HVAC and room automation applications. The station can also be used
for other functions in building automation, e.g. in ventilation systems or for decentralised data
preparation for Modbus devices or for the central control of multiple VAV boxes.
The integrated moduWeb Unity web server is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized plants.
The web server supports the following activities and functions:
• Commissioning and operation of the station and its attached modules
• Direct visualisation of the data points
• Forwarding of alarms and notifications
• Creation and administration of time profiles (scheduler)
• Creation and administration of calendars (calendar)
• Creation and administration of records (Trend Logs)
With the help of the powerful CASE Suite programming environment and the available function
libraries, standard building automation tasks can be carried out and complex projects created with the
integration of subsystems via IP/network or field buses.
The RS-485 A interface enables the connection of Modbus devices.
ecoLink I/O modules, ASV actuators, ecoUnit room operating units and the
EnOcean wireless interface can be connected to the automation station via the RS-485 B interface.
The wireless interface can be used to integrate the SAUTER ecoUnit 1 wireless room operating units
as well as other standard EnOcean units.
COM modules6) can be connected to the station and support integration via the KNX, DALI, SMI,
Modbus or M-Bus interfaces of special actuators, sensors, operating devices or subsystems.
The modu680-AS offers two separate IP networks that enable the separation of WAN (IT network,
internet) and LAN (OT network, BA network).
The station can be preconfigured (IP addresses, DOI, names) via the Bluetooth interface and with the
SAUTER app.
The historical data records are stored on the microSD card.
Special standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC 61131‑1 and IEC 61131‑2 were not considered
during the development.

Note

) BACnet/IP is only supported via LAN connections. Routing between WAN and LAN ports is not suppor-
ted.

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

Improper use
The SAUTER modulo 6 system does not have functional safety and is not fail-safe. MTTF, MTBF and
MTTR data is not available.

• as a measuring device as per EU Measuring Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU
• in outdoor areas and in rooms with the risk of condensation
• on means of transport, e.g. ships.

Engineering notes
Fitting and power supply
Note

) Only qualified electricians are permitted to fit and connect the module.
Prevent access by laypersons.

The modu680-AS is mounted in a cabinet using a DIN rail (EN 60715).

You must ensure that it is not installed in the immediate vicinity of power contactors, frequency
converters or other EMC interference sources. SAUTER generally recommends installation in a
separate DDC cabinet field. During installation, there must also be an external, primary isolating
facility. Connection may only be performed when the system is disconnected from the electrical
supply. All plant devices are connected via pluggable spring-type terminals. When the power supply is
being connected, the protective earth must also be connected to the corresponding terminal
(protection class I).
Further recommendations can be found in the document “EY-modulo 6 – Best Practice I”.

The communication wiring must be carried out professionally and in accordance with the
requirements of standards EN 50174-1, EN 50174-2 and EN 50174-3. Communication and plant
device wiring must be separated from current-carrying wiring.
Local requirements regarding installation, usage, access, access rights, accident prevention, safety,
dismantling and disposal must be taken into account. Furthermore, installation standards such as
EN 50178, EN 50310, EN 50110, EN 50274 and EN 61140 must be complied with.
Bus cover
The modu680-AS is supplied with a bus cover. This must be fitted on the right, free side, either on the
automation station or on the last I/O or COM module.

Note

) The bus cover must always be fitted.

A terminating resistor is installed in the cover to prevent signal reflections and data transmission interfer-
ence. The cover also protects the spring contacts from short circuits and damage.

Further information on fitting and installation can be found in the fitting instructions for the station.

Alive signal
The alive signal, which monitors the internal processes of the modu680-AS, can be picked up
potential-free at terminals 09 and 10. If the system is functioning correctly (power supply, operating
system and running watchdog process), the alive output is pulsed at 1 to 5 Hz (adjustable).
The following should be noted:
• Connection: max. 24 V=, load 10 mA
• No switching against ground (potential-free contacts)
• Solid State Relay (no OC)
As a practical application, the signal cable can be connected directly to a digital input (CI) of a second
automation station or to I/O modules, and be monitored via software.

Power supply
The device is suitable for operation at 24 V DC. Operation with EY-PS 021 switched-mode power
supply is recommended as it is optimally matched to the modu680-AS. It is necessary to use a
double-insulated power supply.
DC operation has the lowest power loss and heat generation. This prolongs the serviceable life and
minimises the device’s own consumption.
The maximum ampacity of the connection terminals must be complied with; to this end, external fuse
protection is essential in all cases. When a current-limiting power supply unit is used, such as EY-
PS 021, fuse protection in the 24 V electrical circuit is not necessary. The fuse required for the
primary electrical circuit on the power supply unit can be found in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Product data sheet 4.1 91.102

For the sizing of a DC power supply, the maximum current consumption of the modu680-AS and all
other devices attached to the 24 V supply is added up. The next-largest power supply module is
selected; a reserve of at least 15% is to be taken into account.

Note

) Some field devices (e.g. AXS continuous thermal actuator) and the remote ecoLink 510, 511, 512*
I/O modules require a 24 V AC power supply. The remote ecoLink 514, 515 I/O modules can also be sup-
plied with a 24 V DC power supply. However, this must not be the same supply source as that for the
station.

Earth
The earth connector on the modu680-AS is the protective earth and must always be connected to the
earth for safety and EMC reasons.
Earthing is exclusively at the earthing terminals of the modu6 devices. Signal ground terminals must
not be earthed. MM and conductors of the 24 V power supply units must not be earthed.

LED indicator of the station

The following operating statuses of the automation station are displayed:

Status 7) Indicator Description

Continuous green Normal mode
Flashing green Identification via CASE Sun

Continuous orange Startup mode8)

Flashing orange The internal backup battery must be replaced

Continuous red No CASE Engine plan in the station

Flashing red Program download or configuration active

Red flashing rapidly Internal device error

Off→Green→Red → → LED test sequence

Programming and parameterisation

The complete user program (Engine Plan) and the different parameterisations (BACnet objects,
images for moduWeb Unity, etc.) are created using CASE Suite. Up to 1600 BACnet data points incl.
hardware inputs and outputs can be used.
Every station must be configured for communication in an Ethernet network. All settings such as IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and instance number (DOI) are parameterised via CASE Suite.
Automatic configuration via DHCP servers is also possible.
To be able to visually identify the modu680-AS in a network, the CASE Sun commissioning tool can
be used to put the run/fault LED in flashing mode.
The modu680-AS contains a fast operating program. This reads all inputs, processes the
parameterised function modules, updates the outputs and handles the necessary communication with
other stations or the management level (PC).
The user program can be loaded from any point in the IP network with CASE Suite. Flashing red LED
indicators show that there is an active download. The data is written to a flash memory and is
retained even if there is a power failure.
The inputs and outputs can be parameterised by the user program and used freely for control and
regulation tasks.

Initialisation
An initialisation of the modu680-AS can be carried out before the download with CASE Suite.

Firmware/update
The modu680-AS is delivered with the latest firmware. If a firmware update is available during
commissioning, it can be installed directly via the network with CASE Suite. When an update is
active, the LED indicator flashes red.

Note

) Only operate the modu680-AS with the latest firmware. Before commissioning, check the firmware ver-
sion and carry out an update if necessary.
The version of the installed firmware can be read via CASE Suite.

moduWeb Unity
The embedded moduWeb Unity web server is available ex works and does not require the standard
functions to be activated.
The following standard functions are available:
• Configuration of the automation station (“System” menu item), e.g. IP addresses, notification
services (email, SMS), user administration, licence activation or memory management
• Operation of the local plant
• Access to the BACnet objects
• Alarm lists and alarm notification via email and/or SMS
• Display of historical data
• Image dynamisation (if created with CASE)

The functionality can be extended with activation code Y6WS80F031. moduWeb Unity can be used
as an operating platform for multiple BACnet controllers.
After activation, images, alarm lists, charts and notifications are available not only for the local station,
but also for the registered stations. With CASE, these additional stations can be integrated in order to
implement integrated navigation to the associated plant schematics and user interfaces.

Internal clock
A Real Time Clock (RTC) is integrated into the station for the time programmes. The date, time and
time zone are set in the station when loading the user parameters.
The BACnet services “DM-TS-B” and “DM-UTC-B” are used to synchronise the time and date
automatically if a BACnet time server is specified accordingly (e.g. SAUTER Vision Center). The
station itself can also serve as a BACnet time server (DM-ATS-A service). Alternatively, the clock can
be synchronised with the NTP service. The setting is made in CASE Engine.
The summer time setting (daylight saving) is activated in the network properties of the station
(CASE Engine) by default and includes all the automation stations integrated in the same network. If
there is a deviation with regard to the European summer time regulation, the switchover date can be
adapted to local conditions.

Time programmes, calendar

The BACnet functionality allows up to 64 time programmes (scheduler) and up to 32 calendar objects
(calendar) to be created in the station.
The integrated web server can be used to display, operate or adjust the time or calendar objects.

Product data sheet 4.1 91.102

Battery
A lithium battery (pluggable button cell) ensures that the Real Time Clock for time programmes
(scheduler/calendar) keeps running in the event of a power failure.
The battery voltage is monitored by the station.
The battery may only be replaced when the automation station is disconnected from the power
supply. During battery replacement, the current time of the internal clock is lost and must be reset.
Follow the safety instructions and the directions in the fitting instructions for the station. If necessary,
contact SAUTER Service to replace the battery.

Technical data for the battery

Type (standard) CR2032 lithium button-cell
Nominal voltage 3V
Capacity 210 mAh
Dimensions 20 mm × 3.2 mm

The lithium battery should be replaced after five to ten years. It may only be replaced by trained
specialist personnel.
The battery status can be queried in the control program (BAT_ST); if required, an alarm can also be
programmed with this. The status is updated approx. every 6 hours.

WARNING!

! Risk of explosion if the battery is short-circuited during replacement.

►Only use insulated tools when replacing the battery.

The user data from CASE Engine and modified user data (e.g. modified by BACnet client) is
permanently stored in the flash memory and does not require a battery buffer.
However, to prevent data loss it is recommended to secure the user data and any changed user data
via a backup (e.g. BACnet DM BR).

Behaviour in case of mains failure

During mains interruptions, the station is switched off in the correct manner. When the power returns,
the system is switched back on according to priority. The behaviour for switching off and on is defined
autonomously by the station.
The following applies to BACnet objects and functions here:
• Every restart can be announced with a restart notification (DM-R-A service).
• The “Notification Class Recipient List” is maintained and the clients still automatically receive the
event and alarm information without logging in again.
• The COV subscriptions on other stations are logged in again automatically
• Connections between the integrated automation stations are updated (re-subscription). When the
power returns, the station checks the consistency of the data and automatically restarts the
communication.

Note

) Power failures in the EY-PS021F021 switched-mode power supply on the primary side (230 V AC) that
last less than 100 milliseconds are bridged without switching off or other consequences. The system con-
tinues to run in normal mode.

If the power supply from a modu601-LC is interrupted, which changes the integrity of the I/O bus, the
I/O bus is resynchronised. The modules that can still be reached by the station are out of operation
for about 5 seconds, and are then back in operation. This happens in the event of a power failure and
when power is restored. After the power returns, all modules should be operational.
When a station is restarted, it is essential for the power supply to the modu601-LC to be already
present.

Extension options
To extend the base station, additional I/O or communication modules can be used. The modules are
arranged directly on the right-hand side of the station and are thus connected via the I/O bus spring
contacts.
The station automatically detects the connected modules on the I/O bus. The module attribution and

8/14 Right of amendment reserved © 2021 Fr. Sauter AG

 Product data sheet 4.1 91.102

the allocation of inputs and outputs must additionally be carried out by the CASE Suite software in the
station.
The number of locally pluggable modules is limited to 24. Up to two additional lines can be created
using the modu602-LC coupling kit.
A modu601-LC must be used to supply power to more than 12 modules or to supply power to the
I/O modules separately from the automation station.
The termination board supplied with the station must be placed on the last module.
Up to five COM modules (modu6** CM) can be used per station. The COM modules must be used at
positions 1 to 5.

CAUTION!

! Destruction of electronics!
►Add or remove I/O modules only when the station is disconnected from the power supply.
►The current load of max. 1300 mA for the station must not be exceeded. This must be ensured in
advance during the engineering.

The maximum current loading is the sum of all the connected devices incl. the I/O modules and
operating units.
The information on the current consumption of the individual I/O modules, operating and indicating
units can be found on the respective product data sheets.

RS-485 A interfaces
The interface can be configured to integrate devices and subsystems that support the
Modbus/RTU / ASCII protocols.
The maximum bus length depends on the cable type used and the correct termination with
terminating resistors. In general, a 4-wire shielded cable with twisted wire pairs must be used.
Observe the correct polarity of all signals. The cable shield of the entire bus line must be connected
at all points. On the station side, the cable shield must be connected to the protective earth on one
side and as directly as possible. The cable length between the protective earth terminal and the cable
shield must not exceed 8 cm in order to achieve optimum interference immunity.
In the case of RS-485 interfaces, the bus wiring must follow line topology. Star, tree or branch
topologies are not recommended. The maximum cable length depends on the configured baud rate.
The interface has internal terminating, pull-up and pull-down resistors. As with the modu6** CM field
bus modules, these must be defined in the project using CASE Engine.

• Room operating units of the ecoUnit 3 series
• ASV actuators
• EnOcean wireless interface
The maximum bus length depends on the cable type used and the correct termination with
terminating resistors. In general, a 4-wire shielded cable with twisted wire pairs must be used.

Observe the correct polarity of all signals. The cable shield of the entire bus line must be connected
at all points. On the station side, the cable shield must be connected to the protective earth on one
side and as directly as possible. The cable length between the protective earth terminal and the cable
shield must not exceed 8 cm in order to achieve optimum interference immunity.
For Ethernet CAT 5 cables and J-Y(ST)Y cables, the possible bus length is up to 500 m. The bus
length is reduced when wireless interface units or EY-RU 3** room operating units are connected (see
connection plans). In the case of RS‑485 interfaces, the bus wiring must follow line topology. Star,
tree or branch topologies are not recommended. The modu680-AS has built-in resistors that are
activated/deactivated via software. When they are activated, a terminating resistor at the start of the
bus can be omitted.
The RS-485 B interface is equipped with a 24 V= output with max. 1.5 W power for the supply of the
connected modules.

CAUTION!

! Damage to the electronics!

►Do not connect older SLC devices that are supplied with 5 V to a 24 V power supply unit.

Start-up behaviour / monitoring function

The communication between the station and the engineered ecoLink modules on the RS-485 B bus is
monitored. If the communication fails for longer than the 10 second monitoring time, the affected
ecoLink modules switch to the safety status. The data points in the station are marked with the status
“unreliable”. All outputs of the affected ecoLink modules are switched to the defined value for the
safety state.
Engineered room operating units are also monitored. The status of the devices is displayed via
corresponding “Valid” outputs on the ROOM_UNIT block in CASE Engine.
For details on start-up behaviour and monitoring functions, see the documentation of the respective
peripheral devices.

Meteorological forecast data

The station can obtain weather forecast data (temperature (min., max.), hours of sunshine, global
radiation, amount of precipitation, rel. humidity, wind speed and direction) for energy-efficient and
proactive regulation via a constant internet connection, directly and without additional components.

Local operation (web server, SAUTER app)

The station can display its configuration status on a compatible mobile device with the SAUTER app
via the Bluetooth interface. In addition, an IP network-capable device can visualise and operate the
configuration and a customer-specific plant display via a web browser that supports standard HTML5.
The plant display can contain the following dynamic objects:
• Alarm lists of the plant
• Setting options for schedules
• Calendar
• Records or historical data
• Preparation of reports with the listed content

Note

) The local operating level of the product is not suitable as an emergency operating level according to Ma-
chine Directive 2006/42/EU. Standard EN ISO 13849‑1 has not been considered. If applicable, a local
emergency operating device must be installed on the plant side.

Access security
IMPORTANT!

! Priority operating units can lose their priority function.

►Limit the access to the local operating level (incl. via apps) on site.
►Consider the access security during the planning and risk assessment of the plant.

Breach of insulation

) Do not connect port C (Common) of the insulated RS-485 A interface to port C (Common) of the non-
insulated RS-485 B interface.

Note

) Pay attention to the different supply voltages at the interface when combining with the modulo 5 prede-
cessor system. For the ecos504/505 room automation station it is only 5 V= ±5%.

Protection mechanisms at application level

The modu680-AS has the following protection mechanisms:
Process manager
Productive processes take precedence over other processes, such as web server communication and
REST API and BT interfaces. The control processes of the building automation are always a priority.
Access rights
Access to the web server and the API and BT interfaces is protected by user name and password.
The first time a user logs in to the web server, the default password must be changed. The user

administration and the setting of the access rights are the responsibility of the system operator. An
auto-logout or the duration of a login can be set up.
The physical interfaces (USB, WAN, LAN, RS-485, SD) can be activated or deactivated by authorised
users with CASE Sun or via the web server.
Functional safety
The modulo 6 product series is not suitable for plants or applications that require functional safety
(software class A). The modulo 6 products do not have an SIL class and are not fail-safe.
Data security
User data is stored in encrypted form.
Together with a Building Data Integrity Manager (e.g. modu615-BM), the integrity of the project data is
periodically checked using patented blockchain technology.
Communication security
Internet communication is encrypted where technically possible. The HTTPS and SMTP protocols, for
example, are encrypted. When BACnet Secure Connect is being used only encrypted communication
is possible.
The system only allows communication via authorised ports. All other ports are blocked by the on-
board firewall. In addition, an authorisation list with approved devices can be created.
Firmware update
Only firmware updates signed by SAUTER can be installed.

Disposal
When disposing of the product, observe the currently applicable local laws.
More information on materials can be found in the Declaration on materials and the environment for
this product.
