Application manual

Main regulation

Main regulation is a regulation in the incremental neutral zone based on the differential from the temperature setpoint of 
the regulation temperature. The procedure will be different according to the operating mode set by parameter 

MOdE

.

Every time the operating mode changes, regulation is blocked for 30 seconds to prevent communication problems with the 
slaves.

When heat regulation is requested, a slave is activated and incremented up to 100%, according to the regulation timing set. 
It will then move on to the next slave, incrementing it by 100%, and continue in this manner until the maximum number of 

slaves configured have been incremented.  

Vice versa, when the request for heat regulation expires, one slave is decreased to 0% and then deactivated. It will then 

move on to the next slave, decreasing it to 0%, and continue in this manner until it has run down all the configured slaves.

It is possible to restrict the number of slaves to activate simultaneously by leaving the remaining slaves in stand-by through 
parameter 

PG02

.

Two dedicated setpoints will be loaded according to the operating mode:

 

Summer mode/cooling (

MOdE = 0

 

the summer setpoint set by parameter 

SEtC

 

will be loaded

 

Winter mode/heating (

MOdE = 1

 

the winter setpoint set by parameter 

SEtH

 

will be loaded

In CHILLER slaves where the machine is a chiller only (

PG01 = 0

 or 

PG01 = 2

), the operating mode is limited to summer mode 

only and any changes made to parameter 

MOdE

 will have no effect.

The application, which decides the regulation probe to use, will interrogate the slaves in a register called MODBUS to find 

out if they are reversible or non-reversible. 
As regards HPRU slaves, the kind of condenser set by parameter 

PF60

 

will be taken into consideration

:

 

if 

PF60 = 0

 (air) or 

PF60 = 2

 (water) the machine is reversible

 

if

 

PF60 = 1

 (water) the machine is not reversible

For 

CHILLER slaves, the type of machine set by parameter 

PG01 will be taken into consideration

:

 

if 

PG01 = 0

 (Air-Water chiller only) or 

PG01 = 2

 (Water-Water chiller only) the machine is not reversible

 

if 

PG01 = 1

 (Air-Water HP) or 

PG01 = 3

 (Water-Water HP) the machine is reversible

If the operating mode is set to winter (

MOdE = 1

) and the slaves are not reversible, the regulation probe will be the 

condenser output probe.   In all other cases, the evaporator output probe will be taken into consideration. 

Regulation will be blocked in the following cases:

 

MODBUS communication not yet enabled after the sequencer has been switched on 

 

Regulation probe disconnected or showing an error

 

Slave configuration alarm due to discrepancies between the types of slaves (HPRU and CHILLER in the same network) or 

between the types of condenser (air and water reversible/non reversible in the same network)

A request for heat regulation is made if:

 

In summer: the regulation temperature is above the setpoint 

SEtC

 plus the neutral zone 

Pr01/2

 

In winter: the regulation temperature is below the setpoint 

SEtH

 minus the neutral zone 

Pr01/2

The request will be met if:

 

In summer: the regulation temperature is below the setpoint 

SEtC

 minus the neutral zone

 

Pr01/2

 

In winter: the regulation temperature is above the setpoint 

SEtH

 plus the neutral zone 

Pr01/2
