BACnet controlled – In this control scheme, the built-in thermostat algorithm can be
bypassed, and the thermostat can be controlled over the BACnet network with
commands from the supervisor device. The logic executing in the supervisor (such as
Niagara or Sedona logic) can control the thermostat over the BACnet network. To put
the thermostat in BACnet network control mode, use the Lock [AV18] object bit 9:
Control DOs by thermostat algorithm “0” (default) or BACnet supervisor “1” (add
decimal=512).
Cool Only (nullified/disabled in firmware), and Heat Only (nullified/disabled in firmware)
control types are listed in the BACnet object and Engineering Menu object but are not
available for use.
Control type is only configurable by the installer using Engineering Mode Menu or
BACnet supervisor. The installer must decide the control type suitable for the
application, set it to a static value, or program the BACnet supervisor to change the
control type automatically. The default control type is set to Cooling or heating with
Auto Changeover. This is the most common control type. Manual Changeover can be
used to limit frequent automatic change of system modes (Cool or Heat).
Algorithm
•A PID adaptive control algorithm is applied to minimize overshoot, in addition to
proportional band (Stage Width) and derivative (Differential) calculation.
•When the thermostat is active (either the heating or cooling stage is on), a
“Working ( )” icon will be shown on the LCD. Stage 1 will show icon ( ).
Stage 2 will show icon ( ) 3rd stage heat will show icon ( ).
System Mode
•The default control type is multi-staged cooling and heating with automatic
changeover, allowing the thermostat to operate as stand-alone. Manual
Changeover allows restriction of mode selection to Cool only or Heat only where
necessary. Control Type can be selected in (tyPe) or [MSV8].
•For manual changeover control, cooling or heating system modes can be selected
by pressing the MODE button or using a BACnet command to object[MSV1]. In
application where user control needs to be limited, the lock button function can be
used to disable MODE button.
•Occupied Cooling [AV0] and Heating [AV3] set points and Unoccupied Cooling
[AV8] and Heating [AV9] setpoints can be set individually. Minimum deadband
[AV7] can be programmed as well.
Short On/Off (Minimum On/Off time) and Maximum cycles per Hour
•There are short on/off (minimum off time and minimum on time of stage
engagement) and maximum cycles per hour protection for cooling and heating
mode (E29, E31, E54, E55; AV24, AV26, AV46, AV47).
•Short on/off time (in seconds) will check minimum on time and minimum off time of
each stage before changing its state.
