Description of functions

Fig. 2:    Control concept of heating/cooling systems

 

For the control of heating and cooling systems is the adjustment of the actual temperature to the desired set-point temperature in a room to be made. The set-point temperature for the room can be set by means of a room temperature controller. It also measures the actual temperature.

Depending on the difference between the set-point and actual temperature (control deviation) the room temperature controller creates a control value that is transmitted to the heating actuator. The heating actuator, in dependence of the control value, controls one or several valves in the heating or cooling circuit.

 

Heating actuator, valves for heating

Fig. 3:    Valve in the pre-run of a heating circuit

[4]    Return flow

[5]    Room

The “Heating actuator” function is to be selected if only one heating system (without cooling, e.g. floor heating, heaters, etc.) is to be controlled.

The channel of the heating actuator, which sets the valve in the pre-run of the heating circuit, is to be linked with the room temperature controller of the System Access Point (see chapter “Linking heating actuator and room temperature controller“). Control and position of the valve occurs automatically as soon as the room temperature controller has been connected to the heating actuator.

The “Cooling actuator” function is to be selected if only one cooling system (without heating, e.g. cooling ceiling, etc.) is to be controlled.

The channel of the heating actuator, which sets the valve in the pre-run of the heating circuit, is to be linked with the room temperature controller of the System Access Point (see chapter “Linking heating actuator and room temperature controller“). Control and position of the valve occurs automatically as soon as the room temperature controller has been connected to the heating actuator.

[4]    Return flow

[5]    Room

The function “Actuator for heating and cooling” is to be selected if a heating system is used for which the same circuit, e.g. dependent on the season, is used for heating or cooling.

The respective control for heating or cooling and the position of the valve occurs automatically as soon as the room temperature controller has been connected to the heating actuator. The selection of the control value for heating or cooling, for example, occurs by means of reversing a switch which is to be linked with the heating actuator via a binary input (see chapter “Links“). As alternative, a binary output of the associated thermal system (if available) can be used.

 

Control of several heating or cooling circuits

The control of several heating or cooling circuits becomes necessary, for example, for the control of several heaters in a room. In this case each heater is to be equipped with a valve. The valves are to be connected either to a single channel of the heating actuator (the maximum nominal current is to be taken into consideration) or to several channels. The channels are to be configured as "Valve for heating" in the parameter settings of the heating actuator in the System Access Point. The associated room temperature controller is to be linked with all channels to which the actuating drives have been connected (see chapter “Linking heating actuator and room temperature controller“). The control occurs automatically following the linking.

The procedure is to be applied analogous for cooling systems with the difference that the respective channels must be configured as "Valve for cooling".

 

 

Controlling parallel heating and cooling circuits

If several thermal systems which have appropriate heating and cooling circuits are operated parallel to heating and cooling, an own valve is to be used for each circuit of a system. The corresponding channels are, depending on the connected heating or cooling system, to be configured as "Valve for heating" or "Valve for cooling". The associated room temperature controller is to be linked with all channels to which the actuating drives have been connected (see chapter “Linking heating actuator and room temperature controller“). The controls for heating and cooling occur automatically in dependence of the difference between the set-point and actual temperature.

 

Example:

A room has two heaters and one cooling ceiling.

    All three systems are equipped with an own valve.

    The valves are to be connected to the heating actuator and to be each linked with any three channels of the heating actuator.

    The two channels to which the heaters are connected are to be configured as "Valve for heating".

    The channel to which the cooling ceiling is connected is to be configured as “Valve for cooling”

    The three channels are to be linked with the associated room temperature controller.

The controls and with it the setting of the valves to both heaters and the cooling ceiling occurs automatically.

 

Flushing function

To prevent the seizing of the valve during a longer standstill, the valve is fully opened and closed once during valve flushing.

Valve flushing occurs automatically. The following events reset the flushing cycle:

    Automatic valve flushing

    Restart of the device

    Update

    Return of voltage

If the valve flushing is triggered simultaneously for several valves, the flushing occur consecutively.

Scope of supply

The scope of supply contains the the heating actuator including bus terminal for coupling to the free@home Bus.

 

Setup and function

The devices are heating actuators for installing on mounting rails. The devices have six or twelve channels and serve as actuators for water-born heating or cooling systems via conventional valves.

    Six or twelve channels (depending on the type of device) for the activation of valves.

    Per channel, each device supports voltages of 24 V AC up to 230 V AC. This makes each conventional valve usable.

    Up to 3 valves 6164/10-xxx, TSA/K230.2. or 1 valve 6164/11-102, TSA/K24.2 can be used per output.

The devices are supplied with power via the bus and require no additional power supply.
