2.4 Integration via KNX bus
The RDG room thermostats can be integrated as follows:
Integration into Synco 700 system via LTE mode (easy engineering)
Integration into Synco living via group addressing (ETS3)
Integration into DESIGO via group addressing (ETS3) or individual addressing
Integration into third-party systems via group addressing (ETS3)
The following KNX functions are available:
Central time program and setpoints, e.g. when using the RMB795 central control
unit
Outside temperature or time of day via bus displayed on thermostat
Remote operation and monitoring, e.g. using the RMZ792 bus operator unit
Remote operation and monitoring with web browser using the OZW772 or
OZW775 web server
Maximum energy efficiency due to exchange of relevant energy information, e.g.
with Synco 700 controllers (e.g. heating demand, cooling demand)
Alarming, e.g. external fault contact, condensation, clean filter, etc.
Monitoring input for temperature sensor or switch
Engineering and commissioning can be done using…
– local DIP switches / HMI
– Synco ACS700 service tool
– ETS3 Professional
Parameter and application download with ETS3 will be implemented later
The RDG room thermostats are especially tailored for integration into the Synco
700 system and operate together in LTE mode. This extends the field of use of
Synco for individual room control in conjunction with fan coil units, VAV, chilled
ceilings and radiators.
Thanks to S-mode extension to the QAX910 central apartment unit, communicating
room thermostats can be easily integrated into Synco living systems. Using the
S-mode data points of the central apartment unit, additional room information can
be exchanged with the room thermostat via KNX TP1 (RF function is not available
on the room thermostats). To make the integration, the ETS3 engineering tool is
required.

3. Functions
3.1 Temperature control
Setting of the control parameters (P01, etc., mentioned throughout the document)
is described in section 3.13.
The thermostat acquires the room temperature via built-in sensor, external room
temperature sensor (QAA32), or external return air temperature sensor (QAH11.1),
and maintains the setpoint by delivering actuator control commands to heating
and/or cooling equipment. The following control outputs are available:
ON/OFF control (2-position)
Modulating PI/P control with PWM output
Modulating PI/P control with 3-position control output
The switching differential or proportional band is 2 K for heating mode and 1 K for
cooling mode (adjustable via parameters P30 and P31).
The integral action time for modulating PI control is 5 minutes (adjustable via
parameter P35).
The display shows the acquired room temperature or the Comfort setpoint, selecta-
ble via parameter P06. The factory setting displays the current room temperature.
Use parameter P04 to display the room temperature or setpoint in °F rather than
°C as needed.
The acquired room temperature (internal or external sensor) is also available as
information on the bus.
With automatic changeover or continuous heating / cooling, symbols /
indicate that the system currently heats or cools (heating or cooling output is
activated).
With manual changeover (P01 = 2), symbols / indicate that the system
currently operates in heating or cooling mode. Thus, the symbols are displayed
even when the thermostat operates in the neutral zone.
Symbols / indicate that the system currently heats or cools (heating or
cooling output is activated).
Concurrent display of the current temperature or setpoint in °C and °F (parameter
P07 = 1) is possible on the thermostats.
The outside temperature can be displayed on the room thermostat by setting
parameter P07 = 2. This temperature value has only information character.
In LTE mode, the outside temperature can only be received on outside temperature
zone 1.
In S-mode, the corresponding communication object needs to be bound with a
KNX sensor device.
Time of day via bus can be displayed on the room thermostat by setting parameter
P07 = 3 or 4. The display format is either in 12- or in 24-hour format.
The information can be received from a Synco controller with time master
functionality or any other KNX device if the corresponding communication object is
bound.

3.2 Operating modes
The thermostat's operating mode can be influenced in different ways (see below).
Specific heating and cooling setpoints are assigned to each operating mode.
The thermostat sends the effective room operating mode on the bus.
The following operating modes are available:
In Auto Timer mode the room operating mode is commanded via bus.
Auto Timer is replaced by Comfort when no time schedule via bus is present
In Comfort mode, the thermostat maintains the Comfort setpoint. This setpoint can
be defined via parameters P8, P9 and P10.
It can be locally adjusted via the rotary knob or via bus.
In Comfort mode, the fan can be set to automatic or manual fan speed: Low,
medium or high.
The setpoints (less heating and cooling than in Comfort mode) can be defined via
parameters P11 and P12.
The thermostat switches to Economy mode when...
– the operating mode button is pressed (only possible if parameter P02 is set to 2)
– Economy is sent via bus
– an operating mode switchover contact (e.g. keycard contact presence detector,
window contact) is active.
The contact can be connected to digital input D1 or multifunctional input X1, X2.
Set parameter P38 / P40 / P42 to 3 (P02 is irrelevant) *)
– "Window state" is sent via bus, e.g. from a KNX switch or a KNX presence
detector (P02 is irrelevant) *)
*) Operating mode switchover: Only one input source must be used, either local
input X1/X2/D1or KNX bus.
User operations are ineffective and “OFF” is displayed if the operating mode
switchover contact is active, or if "Window state" is sent via bus.
In Protection mode, the system is...
– protected against frost (factory setting 8 °C, can be disabled or changed via
P65)
– protected against overheating (factory setting OFF, can be enabled or changed
via P66)
No other operating mode can be selected locally if Protection mode is commanded
via bus. and are displayed.

3.2.1 Different ways to influence the operating mode
The operating mode can be influenced by different interventions.
The source of the effective room operating mode state can be monitored using the
"Cause" diagnostic data point in the ACS700 tool, operator unit RMZ792 or web
server OZW772 / 775.
Source Description Value of DP "Cause"
Operating mode is not Auto Timer
No time schedule via bus

Operating mode switchover contact Room operating mode contact
"Window state" sent via bus Room operating mode contact

Room op. mode
Time schedule available via bus
local operating mode is set to Auto Timer
Time schedule sends Protection mode via bus
operating mode cannot be changed locally

The following table shows the priorities of different interventions.
A lower number means a higher priority.
Priority Description Remark
Commissioning In parameter setting mode (highest priority), you can always
command an operating mode independent of all other settings or
intervention via bus and local input.
Protection mode via bus
from time schedule
Protection mode, sent by a time schedule, has priority 2.
It cannot be overridden by the user nor by an operating mode
switchover contact.
Operating mode
switchover contact
If the contact is closed, the operating mode changes to Economy.
This overrides the operating mode on the thermostat.
"Window state" via bus
"Window state" sent via bus has the same effect as the operating
mode switchover contact.
Note: Only one input source must be used, either local input
X1/X2/D1or KNX bus.
aOperating mode button The user can switch the operating mode using the operating
mode button.
bOperating mode via bus The operating mode can be changed via bus
cTemporary extended
Comfort mode via
operating mode button
The operating mode can be temporarily set from Economy to
Comfort by pressing the operating mode button, if...
– Economy was sent via bus
– extended Comfort period >0 (parameter P68)
The last intervention wins, either locally or via bus
Time schedule via bus The operating mode sent via bus can be overridden by all other
interventions. Exception: Protection mode has priority 2.

Building Technologies Functions 22 Jun 2010
If a time schedule via bus is present, e.g. from central control unit, then the Auto
Timer mode is active. The thermostat automatically changes between Comfort
and Economy according to the time schedule via bus.
The display shows the Auto Timer mode symbol along with the symbol for the
effective room operating mode (Comfort or Economy ).
By pressing the operating mode button, you can change to another operating
mode.
Automatic fan is the default fan speed in Auto Timer mode.
Each time the time schedule sends a new operating mode (switching event), the
operating mode of the thermostat is set back to Auto Timer mode. This is to assure
that the room temperature is maintained according to the time schedule.
If the time schedule sends Precomfort mode, then this mode will be transformed
either into Economy (factory setting) or Comfort (selectable via parameter P88).
No intervention is possible neither by the user nor by an operating mode switch-
over contact, if Protection mode is set by the time schedule. OFF flashes on the
display when the user presses a button.
The operating mode can be selected locally via the operating mode button.
The behavior of the operating mode button (user profile) can be defined via
parameter P02, factory setting is P02 = 1.

2      Switching manually between 3modes
Suited for homes and rooms where manual switching to
Economy mode is desired
The thermostat can be forced into Economy mode (e.g. when a window is opened,
when a presence detector signals "no one present", when the keycard of a hotel
room is withdrawn, etc). The contact can be connected to digital input D1 (or multi-
functional input X1, X2). Set parameter P42 (P38, P40) to 3.
The function is also available via the KNX signal "Window state", e.g. from a KNX
switch or a KNX presence detector.
Note: Only one input source must be used, either local input X1/X2/D1or KNX bus.
User operations are ineffective and “OFF” is displayed if the operating mode
switchover contact is active, or if "Window state" is sent via bus.

3.2.2 Communication examples
The following examples show two typical applications of a central time schedule in
conjunction with local control of the room operating mode.
The room operating mode in rooms 1…2 of a building is determined by the time
schedule.Window contacts are fitted in all rooms.
The following conditions are specified:
The rooms are used and controlled by the time schedule as follows:
– Night setback from 17:00 to 08:00 (Economy)
– Protection from 20:00 to 06:00
– Lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00 (Precomfort)
The substitution (parameter P88) for Precomfort via bus is set on the thermostats
as follows:
– Room 1: Comfort (1)
– Room 2: Economy (0)
Operating mode switchover
In room 1, the window is opened briefly, once in the morning, once in late
afternoon and once at night (1). Only the opening in the morning has a direct
impact on the effective room operating mode.
During lunch break, the time schedule changes to Precomfort. The mode remains
in Comfort as set by parameter “Transformation Precomfort” (P88 = 1).

Interaction of user operation (operating mode button) and central time
schedule
In room 2, the window is opened briefly, once in the morning and once at night (1).
Only the opening in the morning has a direct impact on the effective room opera-
ting mode.
With the operating mode button, the operating mode can be changed between
OFF and Auto or temporary Comfort extension respectively.
During lunch break, the time schedule changes to Precomfort. The mode of the
thermostat changes to Economy as set by parameter “Transformation
Precomfort” (P88 = 0) (6)
During lunch break, the user changes the operating mode to Comfort
(temporary Comfort extension) by pressing the operating mode button (2).
At 13:00, the timer is reset due to mode change of the central time schedule
In the afternoon, the user switches the thermostat off by pressing the operating
mode button (3). At 17:00 the user setting is reset to Economy by the time
schedule
At 19:30, the user again extends the Comfort mode (4). At 20:00, the timer is
reset by the time schedule
After 20:00, pressing the operating mode button has no effect, as the central
time switch sets the thermostat to Protection (5)

3.3 Room temperature setpoints
3.3.1 Description
The factory setting for the Comfort basic setpoint is 21 °C and can be changed in
the thermostat’s EEPROM via parameter P08 or via bus with communication object
" Comfort basic setpoint". The last intervention always wins.
The Comfort setpoint can be adjusted via the rotary knob,
or via bus from a remote device like a touchpanel, operating unit, etc.
The last intervention always wins.
If the “Temporary setpoint” function is enabled via parameter P69, the Comfort
setpoint adjusted via the rotary knob, the or via bus is set back to the Comfort basic
setpoint stored in P08 when the operating mode changes.
For energy saving purposes, the setpoint setting range can be limited to minimum
(P09) and maximum (P10).
If the minimum limit P09 is set lower than the maximum limit P10, both heating
and cooling are adjustable between these 2 limits
For heating or cooling applications (e.g. 2-stage):
– The setting range in cooling mode is from P09…40 °C in place of 5…40 °C
– The setting range in heating mode is from 5…P10 °C in place of 5…40 °C
For heating and cooling applications (e.g. 4-pipe):
– P09 is the setpoint for cooling and P10 the setpoint for heating
– The setpoint can no longer be adjusted via the rotary knob

Cooling fixed = 25 °C (P09)
Heating fixed = 21 °C (P10)
Use control parameters P11 and P12 to adjust the Economy mode setpoints.
The heating setpoint is factory-set to 15 °C, and the cooling setpoint to 30 °C.
Use control parameters P65 and P66 to adjust the Protection mode setpoints.
The heating setpoint is factory-set to 8 °C (frost protection) and to OFF for cooling.
If a setpoint (Economy or Protection) is set to OFF, the thermostat does not control
the room temperature in the corresponding mode (heating or cooling).
This means no protective heating or cooling function and thus risk of frost in
heating mode or risk of overtemperature in cooling mode!
