info

Program blocks are stored in the library without I/Os. Use the auto-create and auto-connect functions to create I/Os and/or to connect them to the interface blocks, e.g., R_A, CMD_B. Alternatively, take the I/Os from the folder containing the predefined I/Os in the library and/or from the plant and connect them to the interface blocks.

Function

Controls the supply air temperature (heating and cooling) by switching a 1-speed pump on and off and changing the valve position of an optional bypass valve.

info

The temperature controller dynamically changes its control action for heating or cooling based on conditions from another program block.

A temperature controller switches the pump and controls the valve position of the optional valve.

Sequence for heating

The temperature controller increases its output and switches on the pump and closes the bypass valve.

Sequence for cooling

The temperature controller switches on the pump and either goes to its maximum and fully closes the bypass valve if the option "Two-position control for cooling" is active or continuously closes the bypass valve.

This program block has the following optional functions:

Option: Valve (1xAO, 1xAI)

Controls the position of a bypass valve that increases or reduces the power of the energy recovery (Vlv24).

Option: After purge, start with 100 % for a configured time

Provides an interface to the state of the "Start-up purge" function and logic to keep the energy recovery at 100 % for a configurable time, e.g., 4 minutes, after the "Start-up purge" function has finished.

Option: Differential pressure monitor (1xBI)

Reads the signal from a differential pressure monitor over the energy recovery. If the differential pressure increases due to ice forming on the surface of the energy recovery aggregate, it reduces the output of the temperature controller for the valve to perform anti-icing protection.

Option: Disable temperature control in case of dehumidification

Provides an interface (most likely to the cooling coil) and logic to disable the temperature control in case of dehumidification to not preheat the air when the cooling coil performs dehumidification.

If the energy recovery is set for cooling, it runs at 100 %.

Option: Efficiency

Calculates the efficiency of the energy recovery. The function block MON_ERC is used in the program.

info

This efficiency calculation needs the option "Supply air temperature after energy recovery".

Option: Flow temperature (1xAI)

Reads the signal from a flow temperature sensor.

Option: Generate disturbance signal switching off the plant at very low outside temperature

If there is a problem with the energy recovery at very low outside temperature, the heating power may be insufficient, and the resulting supply air temperature may drop to a level that is above the frost protection, but still very uncomfortable. This is why a disturbance signal that shuts down the air handling unit plant is generated.

Option: Glycol temperature (1xAI)

Reads the signal from the glycol temperature sensor and performs anti-icing protection with a PID controller that limits the output of the temperature controller to the valve and continuously opens the bypass.

Option Minimum pressure (1xAI)

Reads the signal from a pressure sensor in the glycol circuit and generates an alarm if the pressure is too low.

Option: Return temperature (1xAI)

Reads the signal from a flow temperature sensor.

Option: Supply air temperature after energy recovery (1xAI)

Reads the signal from a supply air temperature sensor after energy recovery.

info

This is an important sensor for calculating the utilization rate of the energy recovery with ErcUtzRate21.

Option: Two-position control for cooling

2-position control mode for the temperature controller in case of cooling.
