Application Leanheat® Monitor automatically adapts its user
interface to fit the application in the controller.
For ECL Comfort 296 and 310 controllers Leanheat®
Monitor can automatically detect the correct
application. However, for some older controllers
it is necessary to select the correct application
during commissioning.
The following controller applications are
supported:
• ECL Comfort 310 controller
• Please see ‘List of application keys
supported by Leanheat® Monitor’.
Go to: https://www.danfoss.com
In the ‘Service and support’ menu select
‘Documentation’ > ‘Data sheets’ and
search for the literature number.
(AI13148 6467165)
• OPR0020 Controller
• Firmware R9 and newer
Below is an example of Leanheat® Monitor
configured with ECL Comfort 310 electronic
controllers connected over TCP. This is the
recommended connection method for controllers
to Leanheat® Monitor, as this avoids running any
IT infrastructure locally at the customer’s site.
In this case, Leanheat® Monitor and the controllers
communicate via Modbus/TCP over a secure
encrypted connection.
As an option the ECL Apex 20 controller can be
integrated into Leanheat® Monitor to remote
control and monitor the district heating utility or
boiler house.
This requires a system integrator to develop a
customized application for the ECL Apex 20
controller. A special Modbus adapter sof tware also
has to run in the same subnet as the ECL Apex 20
either on a PC or a hardware gateway that supports
this option.

Application
Below is an example of connecting controllers on
a closed network (e.g. a serial to Leanheat®
Monitor). In this case, the controllers can be
connected through a local OPC-UA server or if
they communicate over Modbus RTU/TCP they
can be connected through a Modbus adapter
software that does not require an OPC server.
Leanheat® Monitor includes two light-weight
software gateways that must be installed in the
same network as the devices or OPC server is
located. One gateway is for OPC UA
communication and the other for direct Modbus
communication.
The communication bet ween the controllers and
the OPC-UA server can be any protocol supported
by the controllers, server, and network, e.g.
Modbus/RS485, Modbus/TCP or LON.

The following languages are supported by the
graphical user interface of Leanheat® Monitor:

controllers
• Danfoss ECL Comfort 310 electronic

• Danfoss ECL Comfort 310B electronic
• controllers
• NOPRO OPR0020 electronic controller (via

• Any third party controller supporting
Modbus RTU/TCP communication
Please see data sheet ‘List of application keys

(AI13148 6467165).
Note:
When connecting through an OPC-UA server, the
server must also supp ort the relevant applications
for the controllers to be supported by Leanheat®
Monitor.
An example is when a Modbus-RS485 subnet of
ECL controllers or OPR0020 controllers, or a mix
hereof, is connected to Leanheat® Monitor via this
OPC-UA server.
Supported energy meters

Data communication
Please see data sheet ‘Energy meters supported
by Danfoss SCADA solutions and ECL Comfort
296/310’ (AI150386468396).
Please be aware that battery operated energy
meters are not recommended, because the data
communication will shorten the battery lifetime.
The options for data communication between
controllers and server are listed below.

It is highly recommended to enable
encryption in the controller settings
in order to secure the transmission of
data end-to-end.
In that case, Leanheat® Monitor will
handle security from the OPC UA
server and to Leanheat® Monitor.
Security and reliability of the net work
below the OPC UA server is not
managed by Leanheat® Monitor.
Performance of Leanheat® Monitor
may be degraded due to technical
limitations of the OPC UA server and
underlying controller network.
In that case, Leanheat® Monitor will
handle security from the devices and

reliability of the Modbus network is
not managed by Leanheat® Monitor.
Performance of Leanheat® Monitor

easier access to devices, the user is able to
create smart groups.
• Groups can be created based on different
criteria:
* Device name
* Device location
* Device tag
* …
Flow diagrams
• Smart groups can be used as a selection of
devices presented in the list and map.
• They can also be used for the selection of
devices when the user is creating a report,
alarm rule, executing bulk operation, etc.
• Represents physical installation on the
field.
• All components are drawn in the diagram,
which is equipped with live sensors data
and other active components data, e.g.
pumps, valves, actuators, etc.
• The refresh rate of data on the diagram is

Heat meter support
Readings
• In case that energy meters are connected
to the ECL Comfort controller, those are
represented in Leanheat® Monitor without
any manual intervention.
• There are two places for the energy
meters. The first place is next to the flow
diagram on the right-hand side. In this
case the refresh period is the same as for
the flow diagram data, 10 seconds.
The second place is in the database, where
data together with controller sensor data
is stored every 15 minutes.
• Heat meter data can be presented in the
readings table and graph or used in the
reports, alarming, etc.
AI260030799383en-000401
• All sensor and energy meter data are
stored in the database every 15 minutes.
• Those data can be represented in the
“Readings table”, where users have an
option to select, which sensors they would
like to include and for which period. Users
can choose one of the predefined periods,
like today, one week, one month, one
quarter, one year, or define a custom
period.
• If the user wants to use the same selection
in the future a preset function can be used.
• Data can be exported in a CSV file directly
from the readings table.

Device table
Graphs
• Is a table that represents selected sensors
for multiple devices in order to compare
the values (e.g. flow temperature, return
temperature, …)
• Users can select devices manually or use
smart filters.
• Sensors can also be selected manually, or
presets can be used.
• Devices can be sorted based on a
particular sensor, selected by the user.

Alarms
• Leanheat® Monitor supports three types
of Alarms:
• The first type is “Threshold alarms” which
is based on periodically stored data. Users
select the sensor and define threshold
values for it.
• The second supported type is “Controller
alarms”. That means that alarm logic is in
the controller, but the user can make
settings from the Leanheat® Monitor.
• The third type is “Offline alarms“ which
tells the user when communication
between the controller and Leanheat®
Monitor is interrupted.
• For all types, users can define controllers
for which a particular Alarm rule is
applied, optional Alarm recipients,
schedule, and optional delays (occurrence
and notification).
Graphs
• All data stored in a database can be
exported by using the Reports
functionality. For that purpose, “Reports
definitions editor” should be used.
• The user defines, period, controllers,
sensors and other data that will be
included in the report.
• Reports can be executed manually or by
the schedule.
• Reports can be sent to specified recipients
or only generated and available for the
manual download.

14 | © Danfoss | 2021.09
• If the user accesses the application with a
mobile device, the resolution of that
device is automatically recognized and the
mobile version of Leanheat® Monitor
opens.
• Not all the functionalities are available in
the mobile version, but when using it
users can still connect new controllers, see
the flow diagrams, alarms, documents or
remotely change controller settings.
• Users can always decide to switch to the
desktop version manually.

API
• API offers access to data in the Leanheat®
Monitor database for the Danfoss
optimization software suite and 3rd party
applications.
• In an opposite direction, optimization
applications or 3rd party applications can
write calculated setpoints or any other
values directly to the controller.
• Detailed API documentation is available in
order to integrate 3rd party application.
