Safety Instructions SDC / DHC 43

1 Softwareversion
Please use this documentation in conjunction with softwareversion V2.1 of your
controller. The version will be displayed for about 8 s when the controller is
connected to the mains. If you may be using an older version, please contact your
heating specialist.

5 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
SDC / DHC 43 Safety Instructions

2 Safety Instructions

2.1 Application
The Smile controller family DHC/SDC is designed exclusively for the control of warm
water heating and district heating systems including domestic hot water control.
These systems should not exceed a flow temperature of 120 °C.

2.2 Conditions for start-up

2.2.1 Do not separate the controller from the mains

CAUTION The heating installation must be completed and filled with water in order to
prevent the pumps from running dry and to avoid damage for the boiler.

The controll system must be installed according to the mounting instructions.


All electrical connections (power supply, burner, valve actuator, pumps and
sensors) must be carried out according to the local rules and standards and
must comply with the attached wiring diagrams.

If a floor heating system is connected, a limiting thermostat must switch off


the pump if the flow temperatures are too high.

The heating specialist must check the complete installation before switching
on the controller.

IMPORTANT NOTE! The actual time and date are already adjusted from the factory and backed up by a
battery.

There is a basic time program already activated and the control functions for
standard heating systems with low temperature boilers are pre-adjusted.

If this happens the back-up battery will be unnecessarily stressed. Also the frost
protection functions of the controller will be out of order.

2.2.2 Electric installation


All electrical connections must be carried out by qualified personnel.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 6
Safety Instructions SDC / DHC 43

2.2.3 Safety measures for EMC-compatible installation


Cables under mains power must always be laid separately from sensor and data bus
cables, with a minimum distance of 2 cm between the cables. Cable crossings are
allowed.

15 cm

Mains 230 V~

Data bus cable 12 V~

2cm

For control devices powered through a separate mains connection, separation


between power cables and sensor or bus cables must be maintained under all
circumstances. If cable ducts are used, these ducts must be fitted with separating
webs.

When installing control or room devices, a minimum distance of 40 cm must be


maintained between the devices and other electrical systems emitting
electromagnetic radiation, e.g. contactor switches, motors, transformers, dimmers,
microwave and TV products, loudspeakers, computers, mobile phones, etc..

40 cm

Room devices and central devices must be separated by a distance of at least 40


cm. Several central devices connected to the data bus can be installed immediately
next to each other.

The mains power connection of the heating system (boiler – control panel – control
device) must be laid out as an independent circuit, to which neither fluorescent
lamps nor other possible sources of interference may be connected or connectable.

Shielded cables must be used for the data bus lines.


Recommended construction: see Technical Data, page 139.

The cable shield must be grounded on only one side at the ground connector, e.g. at
the metal enclosure of the heat generator, ground clamp, etc. Multiple grounding of
any one cable is not allowed (ground loop noise).

Do not ground here!

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 8
Safety Instructions SDC / DHC 43

Double grounding is not allowed in star-shaped data bus systems. The ground
connection must be installed on side only, at the neutral point!

Shielding

2-core
data bus cable

Terminal block

Junction box

The external sensor must not be installed in the vicinity of transmitter or receiver
units (e.g. on garage walls close to a receiver of a remote-control garage door
opener, ham radio antennas or in direct proximity to major transmission stations,
etc.).

2.2.4 Cable dimensions


1.5 mm² for all 230 V cable (power supply, burner, pumps, actuators).
0.5 mm² for sensors, selectors , bus and analogue in- and outputs.

2.2.5 Maximum cable length


Sensors selectors and analogue inputs
A maximum cable length of 200 meters is recommended. Longer distances are
possible but increase the risk of interferences.

Relay outputs
Unlimited cable length.

Bus connections
A maximum cable length of 100 meters is strongly recommended.

2.2.6 Cable installation


Cables for 230 V must be installed separate from low voltage (sensor selector bus)
cables.

2.2.7 Cabinet earth and ground


Please install and connect the controllers according to local rules and standards!

9 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
SDC / DHC 43 Safety Instructions

2.3 Domestic hot water higher than 60 °C


Please note that in the following cases there is a danger at hot water tabs (kitchen,
bath). In order to avoid scalding please mix enough cold water.

Anti legionella automatic


If the anti legionella automatic is activated, the domestic hot water will automatically
be heated up to temperatures around 65 °C order to kill legionella bacteria in the hot
water system.

Manual operation / Emission measurement


In the manual mode / emission measurement mode the domestic hot water can be
heated up to the maximum possible boiler temperature because the burner and all
pumps are switched on and the valves will be completely opened. Also here there is
the danger of scalding at all warm water tabs in the building. Please mix enough cold
water or switch the domestic hot water loading pump manually off (if there is a switch
at the pump).
Heating and domestic hot water are not temperature controlled in these modes.
These modes are especially used by the emission measurement specialist or by the
installer in case the controller is defect. The high water temperatures can however
be avoided if the boiler thermostat is adjusted to a max. of 60 °C.

2.4 Connecting accessories

CAUTION According to VDE 0730 the power supply for the controller must have a
separate main switch for life and neutral. Please follow local rules and
standards for cabinet earth and ground!

As soon as there is power supply at the terminals 21, 22, 2, 6, 12 and 18 also
the terminal rows X3 and X4 will carry 230 V connections!

External switches must be installed if a manual switch function is desired for


pumps. All accessories (sensors, selectors, etc.) must be connected
according to the attached wiring.

2.5 Service and cleaning


The controller is service free. The unit can be cleaned with a moist cloth from the
outside.

5.4.1 Time-Date Menu


The following current date values can be set in this menu:

- Time
- Calendar year
- Calendar day – calendar month
- Time changeover mode (Summer - Wintertime)

All the listed values are preset at the factory and as a rule do not need to be
updated. If corrections are necessary in exceptional cases, the values can be
adjusted to the current conditions. An internal pre-programmed calendar provides for
automatic time changeover at the recurrent summer – winter changeover dates. If
necessary, the automatic time changeover can be deactivated.
The current weekday from Mon. to Sun. is determined from the calendar data and
requires no setting.

5.4.2 Time programs Menu


In this menu the time programs can be set individually for the heating and DHW
modes.The P1 standard program set at the factory (also P2 and P3, if enabled) for
each heating or DHW circuit can be overwritten with individual switching times and
temperature values. This is particularly useful if specific personalized heating
programs are to be created in case of periodically recurring events with varying
times (e.g. work shifts, etc.).
For the programming of the switching times a maximum of 3 heating cycles with their
own switch-on and switch-off times are available for each weekday. Each heating
cycle can be combined also with a freely selectable temperature setpoint.

IMPORTANT! The standard programs are not lost if they are overwritten with personalized
programs. Personalized programs will be deleted if the standard program is reloaded
and hence need to be created again. For this reason the personalized switch-on and
switch-off times as well as the temperature values should be entered in the tables
envisaged for this purpose.

Entry see 5.4 Menu Selection.

5.4.3.4 Summer Switch-off (heating limit)/ Heating Limit


Function This parameter determines the end of the heating season on the basis of the outside
temperature according to the following criteria:

Rapid increase of the outside temperature


As long as the mean outside temperature is below the set value and the current
outside temperature is 2 K above the set value, the heating is stopped.

Slow increase of the outside temperature


The switch-off is enabled if the mean and actual outside temperature exceed the set
value.

Deactivating of the heating limit


The switch-off is disabeled if the mean and current outside temperature fall below
the set value plus 1 K.

The summer switch-off function is also deactivated:

• In case of an external sensor defect


• In case of active frost protection

NOTE! In case of switch-off phases (Standby Mode, Manual Summer Mode, Summer
Switch-off) lasting more than 24h, all the pumps are switched on to protect the
system against blocking owing to corrosion for 20 s every day and the mixing valves
are opened temporarily during this time.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 46
Operation SDC / DHC 43

In connection with a 2nd outside sensor the current mean outside temperature is
applied for the summer switch-off as long as the mean value of both sensors was
determined when assigning the external sensors. When the heating limit is active, it
is indicated on the basic display with an umbrella symbol.

Legionella protection time.

NOTE! If a DHW thermostat is used to determine the water heater temperature, this
parameter is skipped.

5.4.5 Unmixed Circuit / Mixing Circuit 1 / Mixing Circuit 2 Menu


These menus comprise all the parameters necessary to program the heating circuits
with the exception of the time programs. A maximum of 1 unmixed circuit and 2
mixing circuits (mixing circuit 1 and mixing circuit 2) are available per controller as
heating circuits.

The heating circuit parameters described below are available for each heating circuit
and are to be set separately.

5.4.5.1 Reduced Mode


Function During reduced mode you can choose from two operating modes:

Factory setting ECO

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 48
Operation SDC / DHC 43

Setting range ECO, ABS

Setting values ABS (Reduced mode)

The direct heating circuit’s pump remains active during reduced mode (see Time
Program). The flow temperature is determined by the relevant reduced heating
characteristic according to the decreased room temperature. The temperature will
not fall below the set low limit.

Application: Buildings with low insulation values and high heating losses.

ECO (Switch-off Mode)

During reduced mode the direct heating circuit is completely switched off in case of
outside temperatures exceeding the set frost protection limit. The heat generator
minimum temperature limit is deactivated. The heating circuit pump is switched off
with a short delay in order to avoid a safety switch-off owing to heat accumulation in
the heat generator (pump extended running time).

If the outside temperature falls below the specified frost protection limit, the controller
switches from switch-off mode (ECO) to reduced mode (ABS) and the heating circuit
temperature is adjusted according to the set reduced setpoint considering the low
limit of the heat generator.

Application: Buildings with high insulation values

IMPORTANT NOTE! The mode set here applies also for the operating modes: ABSENCE and
CONSTANT REDUCED operating modes.

5.4.5.2 Heating System

Function This parameter refers to the type of heating system (floor-, radiator-, or convector
heating) and can be compared to the exponent of the relevant heat exchanger. The
setting determines the curvature of the heating characteristic of the unmixed circuit
and compensates the performance losses at low temperatures by means of its
progressive characteristic.

Depending on the type of heating system the following settings are recommended:

1.10 Slightly progressive heating characteristic for floor or other panel


heating systems.
1.30 Progressive standard characteristic for all radiator-heating systems with
m-values comprised between 1.25 and 1.35.
2.00 Progressive heating characteristic curves for convector and baseboard
heating systems.
>3.00 Very progressive heating characteristic curves for general ventilator
application with high start temperatures.

Factory setting 1.30 (Radiator systems)


1.10 (Floor heating) for mixer circuits

Setting range 1.00 ... 10.00

5.5 Malfunction Messages


The controller has an extensive built-in malfunction reporting logic, which displays
with top priority the type of malfunction.

The malfunction messages alternate with the basic display as they appear. Several
malfunctions occurring at the same time will appear one after the other in the
temporal order in which they occur.

There are four different malfunction message categories:

Sensor malfunction messages


Sensor values beyond the measuring range are considered as interruptions or short
circuits. They appear with error codes 10 to 20 and index 0 for short circuits or 1 for
interruptions.

Heat generator malfunction messages


These malfunction messages analyse the current switching status. They appear with
error codes 30 to 40 and index 0, 1 or 2.

Logical malfunction messages


These malfunction messages refer to the expected controller function. They appear
with error codes 50 to 60 and index 0, 1 or 2.

Bus malfunction messages


These malfunction messages refer to the address errors such as double
assignments or the failure to recognize address settings within the data bus. They
appear with error code 70 and index 0 or 1.

IMPORTANT NOTE! The heating technician is to be informed of any error message.

6 Control Functions

6.1 Adjusting the hydraulic parameters


The parameter 1 of the Hydraulic menue defines an existing application. All
applications are so far listed in the design brochure for the smile controllers.
Individual adjustments can still be made with every single parameter.

Thus there is a flexible way either to use the preconfigured applications (very low
start up effort) or the much more flexible, individual adjustment in the parameter
menues.

CAUTION The hydraulic parameters define the system. Any change can have extensive
effectes on the function and efficiency. Please take care when you adjust
parameters manually for special applications.

Explanation Only the existing in- and outputs of the hardware will appear in the hydraulic menue.

The setting of the hydraulic parameters define the application.

Example:
PARAMETER 05 defines the output of the heating circuit pump. The default setting
is: heating circuit pump.

However this output can also be configured for e.g. the DHW circulation pump.

Of course the hydraulic setup must be corresponding.

Example:
The parameters for the circulation pump are only accessable if the HC pump output
has ben assigned for the circulation pump.

If a variable function requires an input value (sensor), then by force this will be
assigned at the matching variable input. This input can no longer be manually
changed.

If the user has defined a different input variable before, then this will be reset and
replaced.

Example:
The variable input has been assigned the 2nd outdoor sensor. The variable output 1
will now be a adjusted to the function of a buffer loading pump. The variable input 1
will then be automatically reset and then assigned to the buffer sensor, because this
information is vital for the control function.

6.2 Switching Time Program Enabling

The Smile controllers have three separate switching time programs for each heating
circuit.

When supplied, only one switching time program is enabled. The use of only a single
switching time program for a wide range of applications makes it possible to simplify
operating.

See also 5.4.3.2 Time Programs

6.3 Suppressing the cycle temperature on Time program level


When programming switching times, the specialist can set a system parameter to
suppress the respective room or hot-water temperature for the cycle.

Function Setting “ON“ causes the control of the respective circuit to be based on the cycle
temperatures stored in the switching cycles.

Setting “OFF”:
• All cycle temperatures are suppressed during switching time programming

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 64
Control Functions SDC / DHC 43

• Nominal room and DHW temperatures exclusively depending on daytime room


temperature or daytime water heater temperature

• All connected room devices react identically to parameter changes in the central
device

6.4 Enabling of Separate Control Mode


In order to make the operation as easy as possible for most of the applications, a
global control mode is set for all heating circuits when supplied. For those rare cases
in which a separate control modes are necessary (e. g. in case of separate control
mode selection for tenants and landlords) it must be enabled by means of the
”Control Mode” parameter in the ”System” menu.

Effect This parameter determines the control mode and has effects on the
• Operating mode selected with the program selection key ¢;
• Daytime temperature selected with the temperature selection key ¥;
• Night-time temperature selected with the temperature selection key ¦;

Enabling 5.4.3.3 Control Mode

6.5 Temperature display in Fahrenheit


Apart from the °C (Celsius) temperature scale, the °F (Fahrenheit) scale is common
in the US and the UK. The conversion formula is:

T [°C ] * 9
T [° F ] = + 32
5
Every device in the control system can be switched separately to temperature
display in °F. The control system as such continues to operate in °C. The conversion
to °F only acts on the displayed temperatures.

The temperature display is in full degrees only (no decimals).

6.6 Selection of Hydraulic Parameter Presettings


Each controller type covers a specific hydraulic diagram in its ”as supplied”
condition. Depending on the configuration variants there is also the possibility of
adapting the system by means of further parameter settings to hydraulic diagrams
differing from the standard hydraulic system.

With parameter 01 in the ”Hydraulic” menu a preselection can be made from the
hydraulic schemes collection . The corresponding inputs and outputs are assigned
automatically according to the hydraulic diagram and can be altered if necessary.
The relevant system diagrams are available in a separate document.

output function with regard to the variable outputs, no selection is possible.

6.8 General Functions and their Operation

6.8.1 Outside Temperature Measurement

6.8.1.1 Building Type

Function This parameter takes into account the relevant building type by means of various
calculation methods for the determination of the outside temperature mean value
according to the setting.

Light Construction The mean value is obtained over a period of 2 hours.

Application: wooden houses, lightweight brick buildings

Medium Construction The mean value is obtained over a period of 8 hours.

Application: medium-weight masonry in hollow blocks or bricks

Heavy Construction The mean value is obtained over a period of 24 hours.

Application: heavy masonry in tuff or natural stone

6.8.2 Heating Circuit Outside Temperature Assignment


NOTE! Function active only when using a second outdoor sensor!

Function If in the central unit a second outdoor sensor (AF2) was connected to a variable
input, the heating circuit can be assigned at choice either to the external sensor 1, 2
or to the mean value of both sensors.

For each external sensor the following applies:


In case of a defect of one of the sensors, there is an automatic switchover to the
remaining outdoor sensor and a simultaneous malfunction message. In case of a
defect affecting both sensors the heating circuit is regulated on the basis of a set
heating characteristic curve and heating program corresponding to a fictitious
external temperature of 0 °C with regard to the set minimum temperature.

6.8.3 Climate Zone


Function The climate zone is the coldest outside temperature value to be expected.

For the heat demand coverage this value is taken as the basis for the design of the
heating system.

This parameter defines the corresponding steepness value of the heating


characteristic of the heating circuit with regard to the climate zone.

See also 5.6.2 System Parameter Menu

6.8.4 Summer Switch-off

NOTE This function is only effective in operating mode “Automatic”.

Function For higher outside temperatures (normally above 20 °C) it makes no sense to keep
the heating on in the building. You can hence choose to switch-off the heating
depending on the outside temperature according to the following criteria:

Switch-off reversal
The switch-off is reversed when the average outside temperature drops below the
set value by more than 1 K.

The summer switch-off function is disabled:

• when an outdoor sensor defect is detected


• when frost protection is active

67 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
SDC / DHC 43 Control Functions

NOTE The HEATING LIMIT parameter can be used to assist the summer switch-off
function during the transitional seasons. This function allows setting non-heating
periods on warm days for each individual heating circuit.

When a second outdoor sensor is used, summer switch-off is based on the actual
mean value of the two sensor readings, provided the mean value for the two sensors
was defined as the relevant figure in outdoor sensor allocation.

A parasol symbol in the basis display indicated that summer switch-off is active. If
the heating circuits are operated separately (system parameter “Operating mode”)
this symbol will be missing. If two outdoor sensors are connected to the system and
these two sensors were assigned to different heating circuits, the symbol will only be
displayed if both sensors fulfill the condition for summer switch-off.

See also 5.6.2 System Parameter Menu

6.8.5 System Frost Protection


Function To avoid the freezing of the heating system in switch-off mode, the controler is
equipped with an electronic frost protection.

Operation without Room Temperature sensing


If the external temperature (current value) drops below the set limit, the heating is
turned on again. The heating is interrupted if the outside temperature exceeds the
set limit by 1 K.

Operating with Room Temperature sensing


As long as the room temperature is above the room setpoint, the heating circuit
pumps are running in case of outside temperatures below the set freezing limit.

If the room temperature drops below the set room setpoint, the heating is resumed.

The heating is switched off if the room temperature exceeds the set room target
value by 1 K. If at this moment the outside temperature is still below the freezing
limit, the heating circuit pumps remain active.

NOTE! If not each heating circuit is operated with room temperature sensing, different frost
protection functions can be assigned to the single heating circuit. If, for example, a
mixing circuit is operated with room temperature sensing and the direct heating
circuit is not, the latter’s heating characteristic and room temperature setpoint are to
be set as low as possible.

In connection with a 2nd external sensor the frost protection function is activated, as
soon as one of the two outside temperatures drops below the frost protection limit.

In case of a faulty outdoor sensor the frost protection is constantly activated.

CAUTION In connection with a room sensor the thermostat function is not active with
active frost protection.

See also 5.6.2 System Parameter Menu

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 68
Control Functions SDC / DHC 43

Cycle Operation

The frost protection function is activated as soon as the temperature drops below the
set frost protection limit (SYSTEM-PARAMETER 05). The frost protection function
becomes effective when frost protection is active and there is no request for the
heating circuit.

• With the frost protection setting “Cycle operation”, there is no continuous request
for the heat generator, in contrast to continuous operation.
• With the system frost protection active, the heating circuit pumps are switched on
and the mixer valves closed.
• As long as the measured flow temperature of the mixer circuits or the heat
generator temperature in the direct heating circuit, respectively, does not drop
below the set nominal room temperature (RTFrost or RTNight), no demand value is
posted to the heat generator.
• When the flow temperature drops below the set nominal room temperature,
heating is activated.
• Once the nominal flow temperature has reached the nominal room temperature
and the set time (SYSTEM-PARAMETER 19) has passed, the demand value
to the heat generator is retracted and the mixer valve closes while the pumps
continue running.
• If no data are detected from the outdoor sensor (e.g. because the sensor is
defective), only the pumps are switched on while heating is disabled.
• The set minimum and maximum limits are taken into account in heating
operation.
• When the heat generator is activated, the set start-up protection conditions of the
heat generator are applied. This can mean that the heating circuit pumps are
switched off temporarily.

Frost protection function in case of heat generator fault

If system malfunction message 30-3 or 31-3 occur (e.g. switch-on failure of the
burner(s) due to fuel shortage burner malfunction), priority pump switch-off functions
such as boiler start-up protection, hot-water priority etc. are disabled if frost
protection is active.
The heating water circulated in the heating circuits adopts the overall mean room
temperature and reduces or delays any freezing.

6.8.6 Anti-blocking Protection


Function With this function activated all the pumps are switched on every day for approx.
20 seconds to protect against blocking owing to corrosion in case of long switch-off
periods (> 24h) and the mixers are opened temporarily during this period.

7 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

7.1 Heat Generatior: Boiler

7.1.1 Heat Generator Start-up Protection


The start-up protection function prevents condensate precipitation when heating up
from cold.

Function There are three different modes of start-up protection that can be set:

Unlimited start-up protection


When the temperature in the heat generator drops to 2 K below the set minimal limit,
all heating circuits are separated, at the water side, from the heat generator (pumps
off , mixers closed) to pass through the dew point as quickly as possible. The
heating circuits are enabled as soon as the temperature in the heat generator has
reached the minimum limit plus half of the burner switching differential 1.

Weather-dependent start-up protection


The heating-up characteristic is the same as for unlimited start-up protection,
meaning the heat generator remains in operation until the set minimum temperature
plus half of burner switching differential 1 is crossed. Below the minimum
temperature the pumps remain switched off and the mixers closed.
Once the heat generator has been switched off, the start-up protection becomes
active again only when the heat generator temperature drops below the weather-
responsive demand value (acc. to heating curve setting and nominal room setting).
The subsequent heating-up follows the same scheme as for unlimited start-up
protection. The result is a mean value depending on the difference between the
weather-responsive demand value and the minimum limit setting. This mean value
will be significantly lower than the value set for a heat generator operated with a
permanent minimum temperature limit.

Separate start-up protection for heat generator and heating circuits


This function allows separating the temperatures for switching on the burner and
switching off the heating circuit when the boiler temperature falls below the boiler
minimum temperature limit.

See also 5.6.6 Heat Generator Menu

7.1.2 Heat Generator Minimum Temperature Limit


Function In order to protect the heat generator against agressive condensate the minimum
temperature limit documented by the manufacturer of the heat generator is to be set.

The heat generator switches on when the temperature falls below the set value,
while it switches off when the set value plus the burner switching differential is
exceeded. During heating the limit temperature will be maintained.

This setting is used only for the reaction of the heat generator (burner) to reaching
the set minimum temperature ( KTmin −WEZ ). The function for the heat generator
remains unchanged.
The mode of operation of the set limit is defined via the heat generator parameter
“Heat generator start-up protection”.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 70
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

There are three different modes of operation for the minimum temperature limit:

Demand-responsive minimum limit


As long as there is no demand from heating or hot water, the boiler remains
switched off. The minimum limit is disabled. The burner is switched on and the heat
generator is heated up to the set minimum temperature limit as soon as the
temperature in the heat generator drops below the fixed heat generator frost
protection temperature of +5°C.

Conditional minimum limit


The boiler minimum temperature acts as the lower limit, which will be maintained
even if there is no demand. The boiler is switched off only if Summer switch-off is
active.

Permanent minimum limit


The boiler temperature is maintained according to the set minimum temperature,
independent of demands or deactivating operating modes.

See also 5.6.6 Heat Generator Menu

7.1.3 Heat Generator Maximum Temperature Limit


Function In order to protect the heat generator against overheating, the controller is equipped
with an electronic maximum temperature limit. It shuts off the burner if the
temperature in the heat generator exceeds the limit value.

The burner is switched on again if the temperature in the heat generator falls below
the limit value by half of the burner switching differential plus 2 K.

See also 5.6.6 Heat Generator Menu

7.1.4 Heating circuits minimum temperature limit

• If the boiler temperature KTact <= parameter 27 (KTmin-HK), the heating circuit
pumps (DKP, SLP, MKP) are switched off and the mixer valves are closed.
• The heating circuit pumps and mixer valves are enabled again as soon as KTact>
KTmin-HK + SKmin-HK is fulfilled.

7.1.5 Heat Generator Sensor Operating Modes


Function There are various ways in which the heat generator can react to a malfunction of the
heat generator sensor:

Burner switch-off in case of a faulty heat generator sensor


A message appears in case of a short circuit or the break of the sensor; the burner
will be switched off.

External burner switch-off


In case of the interruption of the sensor the burner is switched off without a
malfunction message. Application for example as external burner switch-off or
enabling in case of the interruption of the heat generator sensor.

71 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

CAUTION Only Ag (hard silver), Au (gold) or Ni (nickel) are to be used for the contacts.

In case of a sensor short circuit a relevant malfunction message appears and the
burner is blocked.

Burner enabling in case of a faulty heat generator sensor


A message appears in case of a short circuit or the break of the sensor and the
burner is enabled without limitations.

The control of the heat generator is carried out only manually by means of the
mechanical boiler temperature controller (boiler thermostat) on the boiler panel
according to the set value.

CAUTION This activation is only permitted if there is a boiler thermostat in the burner
circuit. In the other case there is the danger of boiler overheating!

7.1.6 Minimum Burner Run time


Function This function extends the burner run times and reduces the standby losses. After
starting the burner at least this time is to elapse before the burner is deactivated
again (regardless of the temperature increase).

NOTE! If the temperature in the heat generator exceeds the set heat generator maximum
temperature limit, the minimum burner run time is stopped and the burner is
switched off in advance.

to the same nominal value.

Switching differential I Switching differential I controls the heat generator capacity required according to
load and demand by switching on and off the stage required for the actual heat
demand within the set range. The switching is initiated symmetrically to the nominal
value within half of the absolute value of the switching differential.

Switching differential II Switching differential II (only two-stage heat generator and heat generator 2 x single-
stage) determines how many stages are required to meet the actual heat demand
(partial load - stage I, full load - stage II). This switching differential is overlaid
symmetrically on switching differential I and must always be set to higher values.

NOTE In Cascade mode this setting would be superseded by the cascade setting and is
therefore not available.

Mode of operation with switching differential II


• When the heat generator temperature is below switching differential II, stage I is
switched on without delay. Stage II is enabled after stage II delay has passed
(see heat generator parameters, page 61).
• Stage II is switched off as soon as the heat generator reaches the set nominal
temperature plus half of switching differential I.
• Stage II is switched on again when the heat generator temperature drops below
the set nominal temperature minus half of switching differential I.
• Stage I is switched off when the heat generator temperature exceeds the set
nominal value plus half of switching differential II.

Combined operation for 2-stage heat generators


• As long as just one stage can meet the heat demand (stage II inactive), stage I is
switched according to switching differential I.
• As soon as stage 2 is needed to meet the heat demand, switching differential I
takes over the switching on and off of stage II and switching differential II takes
over the switching of stage I.

Time delay stage II Enabling of stage II (full load) is controlled not only by the switching differentials but
also by a time delay. In this way stage II remains disabled for the set delay so that
stage I will be active for longer. This function is only effective during the start-up
phase (when there is demand for both stages). When stage I is in base-load
operation and stage II in adjustment operation (covering excess heat demand), the
latter is switched on immediately when the demand arises.

NOTE In Cascade mode, this setting would be superseded by the cascade setting and is
therefore not available.

Enabling mode stage II The parameter “Enabling mode stage II” allows changing the effect of a Time delay
stage II setting during the start-up phase below the heat generator minimum
temperature limit.

Unlimited enabling during start-up phase


Both stages are in unlimited operating during start-up.

Time delay during start-up phase


Stage II is switched on after the set time delay acc. to Time delay stage II:

NOTE In Cascade mode, this setting would be superseded by the cascade setting and is
therefore not available.

DHW loading mode stage II The function DHW LOADING MODE STAGE 1-2 allows defining the loading mode
for the hot-water heater with 2-stage or 2 x single-stage heat generators. The
following options are available:

• 2-stage loading with delayed enabling of stage II acc. to Time delay stage II
• Unlimited 2-stage DHW loading
• DHW loading with stage I only; stage II disabled

NOTE In Cascade mode, this setting would be superseded by the cascade setting and is
therefore not available.

Outside temperature disable When the actual outdoors temperature exceeds the set limit, all request to the heat
generator are disabled within a device. The heating circuits continue operating, but
the heat generator will not be switched on. Preset minimum burner running times are
fulfilled. Only when the outside temperature drops to the AT-disable level minus 2K,
the heat generator is enabled again. If several heat generators are controlled though
one device (condensing burners, 2-stage burners), all stages of the device will be
disabled.

Base load offset This setting becomes effective only if several heat generators are operated in
cascade mode.

Burner stages operating as base load are given a higher nominal temperature than
the modulating stage, which is switched on last. This higher value is composed of
the set nominal temperature plus the set base load offset. If several heat generators
are switched though one control, the setting applies to every heat generator.

Heat generator reset With 2-stage heat generators, the counters for operating hours and burner starts
(see Info menu, page 49) Can be reset separately for stage 1 (ST-1) and stage 2
(ST-2).

Reset
With the reset indicator flashing (RUECKSETZEN), the reset-ready indicator ( )
will flash when the rotary-push button is pressed briefly. A reset will be performed
when the rotary-push button is pressed for approx. 5 seconds.

Once the parameter settings have been reset, the device will jump back to the first
parameter on menu level WAERMEERZ.

7.1.8 Switching for modulating burners


Modulating burners are controlled in a way similar to mixer control, through a PI
control algorithm, since in this case an actuator integrated in the burner regulates the
air/fuel ration according to the heating power. However, in contrast to the control of
conventional burners, control of modulating burners is subject to the following
criteria:

Switching differential In contrast to conventional ON/OFF burner control systems with their switching
differentials symmetrical around the respective nominal temperature, the switching
differential for modulating burners is an asymmetric interval with the switch-on level
always 1K below the nominal temperature. This offers the advantage that, in case of a
possible overshoot through the P-band, the burner is not switched off, because the
switch-off point lies above the nominal value by a wider margin than the switch-on
point is below the nominal value (overshoot reserve). Also, when the heat demand is
low (especially in the low-load regime) the temperature will drop only slightly since the
burner is switched on again as soon as there is a deviation of more than 1 K.

Example:
Set nominal temperature = 50 K
Switching differential = 6 K
Switch-on at (50°C - 1K) = 49 °C
Switch-off at (49°C + 6K) = 55°C

Deviation (K)

Switch-off level

Nominal level
Switch-on level

Activation of modulation The modulating burner stage is activated when the heat generator temperature has
dropped below the set nominal temperature by more than 1K. The burner is enabled
through the burner relay. As soon as the heat generator temperature crosses the
switch-off level the burner is deactivated. In contrast to the mixer parameters.

Adjustment Adjustment to the nominal temperature is realized through the conventional 2-point
output (activating the burner) and an additional 3-point output for modulating the
actuator in the burner. The temperature is registered by the heat generator sensor.
In contrast to mixer control, no end position function is assigned to this actuator. The
control mechanism is running continuously.

Minimum burner run time Independent of temperature-related switch-off conditions, the burner is kept running
for the duration of the set minimum burner run time.

75 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

Minimum and maximum The same functions as for conventional heat generators apply when the heat
generator maximum temperature is exceeded or the heat generator minimum
temperature limitation temperature is undershot.

7.1.9 Modulation P-band (Xp)


Function When the nominal temperature changes abruptly, the proportional band Xp
determines the appropriate readjustment of the respective actuator in the burner
according to the new setpoint.

Example
At a maximum heat generator temperature of 70°C, the actuator in the modulating
must cover a temperature difference of 50K (based on a room temperature of 20°C).
This corresponds to a temperature deviation of 100 %, meaning that the setting is
calculated as follows:
Xp (%)/K x 50K = 100 % or Xp = 2 %/K

7.1.10 Modulation sample time Ta


The sample time is a controller setting that defines the time interval between two
subsequent actuator pulses when a deviation is detected. Shorter sample times
result in finer adjustment.

7.1.11 Modulation integral action time Tn


The integral action time (= reset time) determines the dynamic behavior of the
controller and thus the time needed by the controller to adjust for a detected
deviation from the nominal setting. The reset time is constant, independent of the
size of the deviation.

7.1.12 Modulation running time


This function allows adjusting the actuator, with regard to its finite running time, to
the control characteristics, meaning that actuators with different running times react
to the same deviation by readjusting by the same amount through adapting the
action times. The integral action time Tn remains unchanged in this. However, care
must be taken that the latter must always exceed the running time of the respective
actuator.

7.1.13 Modulation starting time


The starting time parameter determines the length of the start-up phase in
modulation mode so that a stable start-up is ensured. As soon as the set starting
time has expired, the modulation switches to its normal control characteristics
defined by the modulation parameters.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 76
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

7.1.14 Modulation starting load


The starting load parameter determines a percentage setting for a fraction of the
modulation running time during the start-up phase. With a setting of 0% the actuator
valve remains always closed. After the set starting time the modulation switches to
its normal control characteristics defined by the modulation parameters.

periods. If the respective circuits are equipped with room stations, the thermostat
function should be activated.

the pumps.

7.1.18 Flue gas temperature monitoring


NOTE Only if Parameter 8 VI-1 = 13 – Flue gas sensor set in the “Hydraulics” menu.

NOTE A flue gas sensor can only be connected to the variable sensor input VI 1. Due to the
high temperatures a PT 1000 sensor is used for this purpose. The control device
automatically evaluates the sensor data, which are different from the data supplied
by the standard sensors.

NOTE When a sensor fault is detected with the fuel gas sensor active, and if flue gas
monitoring was set for temporary disable or permanent inhibit (safety functions),
there will be a heat generator switch-off in addition to the malfunction message.

Function This function controls the necessary measures in case the fuel gas temperature
exceeds the allowable limit.

No follow-up function; the actual fuel gas temperature is displayed in the Information
display.

Heat generator disable for set time when limit is exceeded


When the temperature limit is exceeded the heat generator is disabled for the set

Heat generator disable when limit is exceeded


When the temperature limit is exceeded the heat generator is disabled and inhibited
permanently. It can only be unlocked by a reset in the “Malfunction messages”
menu.

7.2 Heat Exchanger Heat Generator, district heating


Function The heat exchanger control assures that the right flow temperature is provided for all

7.2.1 District Heating Valve On / Off Mode (district heating)


To assure always a minimum flow so that the heat meter can work precisely, pure
on/off switching is envisaged in low load mode. Parameter 03 is suitable for the
adjustment. The following diagram provides a clearer picture of the function.

Should the secondary flow temperature controller output fall below the settable
minimum travel in % (parameter 03), two-step operating begins and the valve is
closed. The valve remains closed until the internal controller output reaches 10%
again. If a 10% controller output is reached, the valve opens again to the minimum
travel. If the controller output drops below 10% again, the valve closes again and the
cycle starts from the beginning.

This means that whenever there are demands of 10% on the heat generator the
valve is operated in On / Off mode and the secondary flow temperature is controlled
this way.

7.2.2 Continuous Heat Exchanger Valve Control (district heating)


If the output of the secondary flow temperature controller rises above 10%, the PI
controller controls the secondary flow temperature according to the required set

7.2.3 District Heating Return Temperature Limit (district heating)

By means of district heating return temperature limitation the required temperature


difference is assured. The maximum limit can either be a fixed value limitation or a
flexible limitation according to the outside temperature. A fixed value limitation to
e.g. 50 °C means that this value is independent of the outside temperature.
In case of higher outside temperatures it is desirable that the maximum limit can be
reduced, i.e. flexible district heating return temperature limitation is to be adopted. By
doing so, the relevant outside temperature is assigned to the lowest possible district
heating return temperature and hence a good heat exploitation is obtained.
The values for the maximum limitation of the district heating return temperature
(Parameter 08) and the starting point of the flexible district heating return
temperature limitation (Parameter 09) can be set for the operation with heating
circuits. The flexible return temperature limitation can be switched off by selecting
10°C as the starting point (Parameter 09).
The lowest return target value for flexible return temperature limitation is fixed at
+ 40 °C.

7.2.5 Hot-water pre-control for District heating systems


The hot-water pre-control function is necessary for the controlled filling of hot water
storage tanks with layered filling from the district heating network. Generally, such
filling is carried out through a separate heat exchanger.

Operation The function is operated via a new variable in the hydraulic parameter for mixing
circuit 1 and 2 (PARAMETER 03 and 04 / HYDRAULICS).

Function number: 30

In the parameter tree for the heating circuits, parameters 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21 and
22 are available. With the return flow limiter activated, parameter 17 is displayed,
too.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 82
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

Info messages With the message “VORLAUF“, the symbol “WW“ for hot-water pre-mixing is
displayed to the lower left.

When the pump status is displayed, the string “ANFORDERUNG“ is displayed


instead of the operating mode.

Explanation When the hot-water pre-control is active, the respective mixing circuit cannot be
used as a heating circuit anymore.
When the hot-water pre-control is active, the request for hot-water filling is not sent
directly to the energy management unit (and from there to the district heating valve),
but instead to the hot-water pre-control.
The hot-water pre-control forwards the nominal value, taking into account the
parameter-defined offset (PARAMETER 14 / mixing tree), to energy management
and adjusts to the nominal value, which was received from hot-water filling, at the
mixer actuator.
Any parameter-defined return flow limiter sensor (setting 7/8 at the variable input)
acts according to its defined function on the actuator of the hot-water pre-control.
The switching behavior of the SFP is described under a separate request.
The hot-water pre-control must be activated in the same control device as the
associated hot-water filling unit.
The MC minimum and maximum limits are not adjustable and not effective.
The run-down time of the MCP runs parallel with the SFP run-down time
The boiler parallel shift of the SFP (parameter) acts on the MC request.
The boiler parallel shift of MC acts on the heat generator, provided the SFP
operating mode has not been set to “external storage tank”.
The optional return flow limitation acts on the flow mixture according to the setting.
The hot-water pre-control acts on only a hot-water filling configured in the same
device.

Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

7.2.6 Mode of operation – hot-water pre-control


Operation When operating in combination with hot-water pre-control, PARAMETER 08 (tank
drainage protection) does not act directly on the heat generator, but on the hot-water
pre-control.

For function with pre-mixer, parameter 08 is always adjustable. In this, the “OFF”
and “ON” settings have a different effect, which is described in the following.

Function With the setting “OFF”, there will be no start-up protection through the hot-water pre-
control. The SFP is switched on without any delay.
With the setting “ON”, the SFP is switched on only when the flow sensor detects that
the HW nominal temperature + ½ switching difference hot water (without offset) is
reached.

- HWPCnom = WWnom + P 09( HW )


1
- SFP=ON if HWPC act ≥ HWnom + SDHW
2
- SFP=OFF if HWPC act ≤ HWnom

Key:
HWPCact =Actual temperature at flow sensor hot-water pre-control
HWnom =Hot-water nominal temperature
P09( HW ) =Value of hot-water parameter 09 (HW filling temperature offset)
SDHW =Switching difference hot water)

Both pumps (SFP and HWPC) switch off after completion of a tank filling, taking into
account their run-down times. If they are to switch off simultaneously, identical run-
down times must be selected for them.

7.2.7 Operating principle – HW operating mode “External operation”


Operation If the energy supply for the hot-water filling is not provided through the district
heating valve, no hot-water request must be sent to the heat generator. The
following setting needs to be selected for this case:
HOT – WATER PARAMETER 07 (HW operating mode) = 7 (External operation)
Function The hot-water pre-control is part of the hot-water filling system. Consequently, the
request from storage control is forwarded to the hot-water pre-control, which acts
according to its function.
In the HW operating mode “External operation“, the nominal value from the hot-water
pre-control is not forwarded to the energy management unit (and, therefore, not to
the district heating valve).

7.2.8 Conditional parallel operation for mixing circuits


This function is only realized for district heating controllers.

Operation Additional setting for HOT – WATER PARAMETER 07 (HW operating mode) = 8
(priority with release control operation mixing circuits)

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 84
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

Function Function as for hot-water priority operation (setting 2), with the difference that hybrid
heating circuits (mixing circuit control, constant control, fixed-value control) can still
adjust to their nominal value. During an active hot-water filling, the heating circuits do
post a nominal value to energy management. Mixing circuits must operate at the
temperature required by the hot-water request. Direct heating circuits remain
switched off.

A hot-water filling with priority operation in the system has priority. The mixer must
shut in this case.

7.2.9 Operating mode circulation pump


During service water filling, it should be possible to switch off the circulation pump.

Operation New parameter HOT – WATER PARAMETER 16

Access level HS (Heating Specialist)

Function 1: Function as before


2: While hot-water filling is active, the circulation pump is switched off.

7.2.10 Deactivation district heating control


Operation Parameter tree District heating, PARAMETER 01: Settings range is extended to
OFF, -10…+50.

Function Setting “OFF” means district heating deactivated


District heating valve permanently in STOP position when deactivated
The switch-over of the heat generators is controlled by district heating parameter 01.

7.2.11 Return Interval flushing (district heating)


If max. limitation is active and the district heating valve is opened less than 5%, the
district heating valve is opened to 10% every 10 minutes in case of heat demand, so
as to obtain an adequately precise return temperature measurement. This assures
that the limitation sensor is adequately supplied during return.

85 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

7.2.12 Heat meter for additional limitation according to the volume flow or thermal output
(district heating)
This function is only active if a heat meter is present in the system. The signals
provided by the heat meter – pulses per unit of volume or pulses per unit of thermal
output – are used for the limitation function. Calibration of the thermal output and the
volume flow under parameters 12 und 13 allows calculating the entities thermal
output and volume flow. The values of these two entities are displayed when key ¤
is pressed. Nominal limits for thermal output and volume flow are entered under
parameters 14 und 15.

This limitation function operates as PI controller above the nominal value, using the
same parameters as the temperature control function.

The values are independent of the outside temperature. The heat flow is derived
from a volume signal in the following way:

The pulses representing the thermal output are counted, e.g. 5 pulses in one minute.
With the calibration parameters the actual thermal out, in kW, is calculated.

At an input of 60 pulses/min

7.2.13 Charging pump (CHP)

NOTE This function is only active if the CHARGING PUMP function was assigned to one of
the outputs "Direct circuit pump", "Variable Output 1"or "Variable Output 2" in the
"Hydraulics" menu.

Function A charging pump to supply remote parts of the heating system is active at every
heating or HW request to the heat generator. It can be connected, through variable
settings, at one of the variable outputs or at the direct circuit pump output.

Bus system A charging pump connected to the central device under address 10 will run as soon
as any request is present on the data bus (including all heating and hot-water circuits
within the control network).
A charging pump connected to an extension controller (address 20, 30,...50) runs
only on request from the heating circuit associated with the respective control
device.
:
Extended running time CHP To avoid a high-temperature safety switch-off of the heat generator, a charging
pump is switched off according to the set time delay when a request to the heat
generator is withdrawn.

7.2.14 Primary pump


NOTE This function is only active if the PRIMARY PUMP function was assigned to one of
the outputs "Variable Output 1" or "Variable Output 2" in the "Hydraulics" menu.

Function The primary pump is the functional equivalent of a loading pump. It is only active
when heating requests to the heat generator are present. Hot-water requests are not
considered.

Bus system A primary pump connected to the central device under address 10 will run as soon
as any request is present on the data bus (including all heating and hot-water circuits
within the control network).
A primary pump connected to an extension controller (address 20, 30,...50) runs only
on request from the heating circuit associated with the respective control device.

Extended running time To avoid a high-temperature safety switch-off of the heat generator, the primary
primary pump pump is switched off according to the set time delay when a request to the heat
generator is withdrawn.

7.2.15 Boiler circuit pump


NOTE! Function active only if the function ”boiler circuit pump 1” was assigned in the
”Hydraulic” menu to one of the variable outputs ”Direct circuit pump”, ”Variable
Output 1” or ”Variable Output 2”.

Function The output controls a boiler circuit pump (or butterfly valve), which is switched on in
parallel with the heat generator and is put out of operation with a time delay after
switching off the heat generators.

BCP2 For systems with two single boilers or a double boiler two boiler circuit pumps can be
connected. The second output controls the boiler circuit pump of the sequential
boiler.

BCP pre-run time The pre-run time determines the burner’s switch-on delay and hence the opening
time of the shut-off device (motorized valve) to assure trouble-free circulation within
the heat generator when the burner switches on.

The setting of a pre-run time is only relevant if a shut-off device (motorized valve) is
used instead of a boiler circuit pump. Actuators with a reversible motor must be
operated by means of a slave relay with double throw contact (separate control
phases Lopen/Lshut).

BCP switch off delay After the switch-off of the burner the boiler circuit pump is switched off with a time
delay according to the set time in orderto prevent a safety switch-off of the heat
generator at high temperatures.

The switch off delay depends on the type of heat generator to be used and is to be
adjusted accordingly.

NOTE An external heat generator disable acts on output KP.

7.2.16 Parallel heat generator enabling (PWF)


NOTE This function is only active if the “parallel heat generator enabling” function was
assigned to one of the outputs "Direct circuit pump", "Variable Output 1"or "Variable
Output 2" in the "Hydraulics" menu.

Function Regardless of a request to the heat generator, the output programmed accordingly
(DK, VO-1, VO-2) is activated immediately when the burner relay is activated (no
pre-running time).
When the burner relay is deactivated the programmed output is switched off after a
delay time. The switch-off duration depends on the setting of parameter 14
(extended running time) in the Heat generator menu.

Note A parallel setting of boiler circuit pump and parallel heat generator enabling is
allowed.
The temporary interruption (Solar/Solid fuel) and the external heat generator disable
act on output PWF.

7.2.17 Return control


Function To prevent the return flow temperature from dropping below the minimum return
temperature required by some heat generators, the control system features various
options for raising the return temperature. Once one of these return control options is
active, a parameter tree is activated where the appropriate settings can be entered.

The parameter “Boiler return control” determines the lowest allowable return flow
temperature for systems with direct or indirect return control. When the heat
generator return temperature drops below the set limit, the respective return control
device is activated and raises the return temperature until the set temperature is
reached or exceeded.

SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

7.2.17.1 Bypass pump (RBP)

Function The simplest way of controlling the return flow temperature is by means of a bypass
pump. When the return temperature in the heat generator drops below the set boiler
return minimum temperature, flow mixing is initiated by switching on a bypass pump
parallel to the heat generator. As soon as the return temperature rises above the
boiler return minimum temperature plus the return switching differential, the bypass
pump will be deactivated after the set delay time (Extended running time bypass
pump). As the mixing itself is not controlled, the bypass cross sections must be
taken into account for the system layout.

As soon as the switch-off conditions are fulfilled, the bypass pump will be switched
off after a delay according to the actual setting.

NOTE To avoid intermittent operation of the bypass pump, the return sensor must always
be positioned downstream of the mixing point for this mode of return temperature
control.

7.2.17.2 Return control through controlled flow mixing


Function If the control unit is equipped with a mixer output, this output can be programmed for
controlled flow mixing.

In this mode of return control the programmed mixing circuit adjusts the return
temperature to the return temperature setpoint. The adjustment is independent of the
status of any start-up protection of the heat generator. The return sensor for this
function is connected at the sensor input of the respective mixing circuit (e.g. VF 1
for mixing circuit 1).

The mixing circuit operates like a boiler circuit pump without boiler start-up protection
for this purpose.

7.2.17.3 Indirect return control


Function Indirect return control is realized by means of the mixer valves in the heating circuits.
It only works for heating systems without a bypass pump and without controlled flow
mixing.

When this function is active, two values are calculated independently for regulating
each mixing circuit. The first value is the control variable for the flow setpoint of the
heating circuit; the second is the control variable for the return setpoint.

The control variable used for mixer control (mixer control variable) results from the
superimposition of both values. In this the adjustment of the return temperature is
treated with priority.

Indirect return control is only active with mixing circuits that are in heating operation
as well. It does not affect a heating circuit in reduced operation.

To avoid excessive pulsing, we recommend enabling the connected consumers


(heating and HW circuits) with staggered switch-on times.

This function does not affect direct heating circuits.

89 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

NOTE Indirect return control is only feasible for system without bypass pumps and without
controlled flow mixing.

7.3 Heating Circuit

7.3.1 General Heating Circuit Functions

7.3.1.1 Heating Characteristic Curve


The prerequisite for a constant room temperature is the exact setting of the heating
characteristic curve (see also the Heating Characteristic Curve section) of the
relevant heating circuit as well as a correct design of the heating system on the part
of the heating technician according to the heat demand calculation.

If adjustments are necessary, these should be made in small steps at a distance of a


few seconds to assure that a steady state condition is obtained.

Differences that can be balanced by installing a room device (see available


accessories) may occur between the measured room temperature in the inhabited
area and the desired room temperature.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 90
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

7.3.1.2 Setting of the Heating Characteristic Curve


This key provides for the setting of the heating characteristic .

Boiler- / Flow temperature (0C)

Outside temperature (0C)


T room (0C)

The slope of the heating characteristic describes the relation between the change in
the flow temperature and the change in the outside temperature. In case of large
heating surfaces (and therefore low flow temperatures) like floor heating systems the
heating characteristic curve is less steep compared to smaller heating surfaces (e. g.
radiators).

The setting value refers to the lowest outside temperature used for heat demand
calculation. This parameter is to be set by the technician and should not be altered
anymore.

The setting of the heating characteristic should be carried out only in small steps and
at adequately long intervals so that a stable condition can be noticed. It is
recommended to make any corrections in 0.1 – 0.2 steps after 1–2 days.

CAUTION In order to measure the room temperature the heating circuit of the most
occupied room is to be used.
Radiator thermostats are used together with correctly designed radiators to
control the external heat gain and should hence be almost completely open.
During the adjustment phase additional external heat sources like fireplaces,
majolica stoves, etc. should not be used. Furthermore, during the
measurement period excessive ventilation is to be avoided.

The measurement period covers basically the heating phases.


If the heating characteristic is correctly set, the room temperature remains constant
according to the set daytime setpoint regardless of the changes in the outside
temperature.
If an automatic correction of the heating characteristic (heating characteristic
adaptation) is made at the service level, this parameter can no longer be manually
set. Instead of the slope display the message HEATING CURVE starts to flash
during the adjustment and is corrected continuously.

91 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105
Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

Recommended settings:
Floor heating: 0.3 ... 1.0
Radiator heating: 1.2 ... 2.0
Convector heating: 1.5 ... 2.0

NOTE! The heating characteristics are limited by the minimum and maximum temperature
limits. With activated limits the relevant flow temperature is controlled exclusively
according to the set limit values.

The first heating characteriszic displayed is always the direct heating circuit (HC). In
case of room units the assigned heating circuit will be the first. If other heating
circuits are existing, their slope values can be selected with the relevant access
authorization and modified if necessary.

Setting After pressing the £ key the direct heating circuit (HC) flashes with the current
setting.

Other heating circuits, if existing, can be selected with the rotary pushbutton and the
corresponding slope values can be modified if necessary.

Setting range OFF, 0,05 ... 3,5

Factory setting Direct heating circuit (DK): = 1.50


Mixer heating circuit 1 (MK1): = 1.00
Mixer heating circuit 2 (MK2): = 1.00

To return to the basic display press the £ key twice or just wait for approx.
60 seconds for automatic return (see 5.1.2.7 "System Information).

7.3.1.3 Heating Circuit Reduced Mode


Function During reduced mode you can choose from two operating modes:

RED (Reduced mode) The direct heating circuit’s heating circuit pump remains active during reduced mode
(see Switching Time Program). The flow temperature is determined by the relevant
reduced heating characteristic according to the decreased room setpoint. The set
minimum temperature will be maintained.

Application: Buildings with low insulation values and high heat losses.

ECO (Switch-off Mode) During reduced mode the direct heating circuit is completely switched off if the
outside temperature exceeds the set frost protection limit. The heat generator
minimum temperature limit is deactivated. The heating circuit pump is switched off
with a short delay in order to avoid a safety switch-off owing to the post heating of
the heat generator (extended pump running time).

If the outside temperature falls below the specified frost protection limit, the controller
switches from switch-off mode (ECO) to reduced mode (RED) and the heating circuit
temperature is adjusted according to the set reduced characteristic considering the
set heat generator minimum temperature settings.

Application: Buildings with high insulation values.

CAUTION The mode set here applies also for the ASENT and CONSTANT REDUCED
operating modes.

7.3.1.4 Heating system (exponent)


Function This parameter refers to the type of heating system (floor, radiator, convector
heating) and can be compared to the exponent of the relevant heat exchanger. The
setting determines the curvature of the heating characteristic of the direct heating
circuit and compensates the performance losses at low temperatures by means of its
progressive characteristic.

Depending on the type of heating system the following settings are recommended:

1.10 Slightly progressive heating characteristic for floor or other panel


heating systems.
1.30 Progressive standard characteristic for all radiator heating systems with
m-values comprised between 1.25 and 1.35.
2.00 Progressive heating characteristic for convector and baseboard heating
systems
3.00 – 5.00 Very progressive heating characteristic curves for general ventilator
application with high start temperatures.

See also 5.6.4 Direct Heating Circuit Menu

7.3.1.5 Heating Circuit Temperature Limitation


NOTE! This function is not active if the heating circuit control is set at constant control (CC).

Function This function limits the flow temperature of a heating circuit. The minimum and
maximum temperatures set in the relevant parameters of a heating circuit must not
exceed or fall below the setpoints.

Minimum temperature limitation is not active:


• in case of switch-off in standby mode above the frost protection limit
• in case of switch-off in reduced automatic mode with the activated ECO function
above the frost protection limit
• in case of switch-off in constant reduced mode with activated ECO function
• in case of automatic summer switch-off

Application - Floor minimum limitation


- Ventilation pre-adjustment (warm air curtain)
- Convector heating

CAUTION To protect the floor heating systems against accidental overheating


(malfunction – manual mode) a controller-independent maximum temperature
limit must be provided. In this case a contact thermostat is recommended. By
means of its switching contact the control phase of the relevant heating circuit
pump is looped. The thermostat is to be set at the maximum permissible
system temperature.

7.3.1.6 Heating Circuit Parallel Shift


Function For special applications this function offers the possibility to admit the heating
characteristic curve of the direct heating circuit with a constant shift value. The
demand value plus the shift value is transmitted to the heat generator.

The displacement of the heating characteristic curve is carried out in parallel with the
flow temperature.

Application Base correction of the heating characteristic for adjustment to the desired room
temperature without changing the room setpoint.

See also 5.6.4 Direct Heating Circuit Menu

7.3.1.7 Heating Circuit Pump extended running time


Function If tere is no heat demand from the heating circuit, the heating circuit pump is
switched off after the time set in the relevant heating circuit menu to avoid a safety
switch-off of the heat generators at high temperatures.

See also 5.6.4 Direct Heating Circuit Menu

7.3.1.8 Screed function


NOTE This function is not active if the heating circuit control is used as constant control
(CC).

Function The screed function is used exclusively for the required drying of newly applied
screed on floor heating systems. The process is based on recommendations of the
German Bundesverbandes Flächenheizungen (Federal Association for Surface
Heating) concerning the heating of fresh floor covers (heating according to a
mandatory temperature profile).

This is a special function that will not be interrupted by any other operating mode
(including manual operation or emission measurement)!

The screed function can be activated for mixer circuits and, in special cases (e.g. in
conjunction with a condensing boiler) also for a direct heating circuit.

When the screed function is active, all weather-dependent control functions of the
heating circuit concerned are switched off. The respective heating circuit operates
independent of the operating mode (switching times) as a constant temperature
controller.

An active screed function can be deactivated at any time (parameter setting Screed
function = OFF).

On completion of the screed function, the heating circuit returns to operation


according the actual operating mode setting.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 94
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

The screed function consists of two steps:

Step 1 Function heating acc. to DIN 4725 Part 4 (setting 1)

• Constant heating at 25 °C on the start day and for the following three days.

• Heating at set maximum flow temperature, limited to 55 °C.

Step 2 Heating function for floor covering (setting 2)

The heating of the floor covering follows a preset temperature profile.

Starting with 25°C on the first day, the requested temperature rises by 5° C per day
over the following days until the maximum temperature of the heating circuit is
reached. After that the nominal temperature is reduced with the same stepping until
the base point of 25°C is reached again.

Example Maximum temperature setting for the heating circuit = 40 °C


Day 1: constant heating at 25 °C

NOTE The maximum profile temperature is determined by the respective maximum flow
temperature limit.
After a short power failure of restart, a previously activated screed function is
continued where it was interrupted.
The Screed function parameter is automatically set to OFF when the function is
completed. The screed function can be activated again if necessary.
In the status display of the respective heating circuit, the word SCREED is displayed
instead of the actual operating mode.

7.3.2 Heating Circuit Constant Temperature Control


NOTE! This function must be activated in the HYDRAULIC menu for the corresponding
heating circuit (Direct heating circuit, Mixing circuit 1, Mixing circuit 2).

Function The control circuit is operated at a constant flow temperature value. The demand
value is transmitted to the heat generator.

The constant temperature setting is carried out with the relevant parameter
”Constant Temperature Setpoint”.

the heat generator and switching-times program and operating modes can be
activated.

7.3.4 Assessment of the Room Temperature / Room Influence

7.3.4.1 Heating Circuit with Room influence


Function Depending on the application this function determines the enabling of the room
sensor in a room unit/room sensor connected with the direct heating circuit and of all
the parameters related to room temperature measurement.

No room sensor In the following cases:


• No room sensor influence when mounting the room unit outside the occupied
area (e.g. in unheated rooms like cellars, etc.).
• No room sensor switching for apartment buildings that, due to different residence
layouts, are operated at different room temperatures and therefore do not offer a
reference room.
• No display of the current room temperature is provided in the system information
if the room influence is off.
• The feed temperature is corrected purely by atmospheric conditions.

Room sensor active for room influence and connected outside sensor:
• With the room sensor switched on, the heating circuit is controlled in weather-
responsive mode taking into account the actual room temperature. The room
temperature deviation is taken account of according to the “Room factor”
parameter setting.
• If an SDW 20 room device is connected, the actual room temperature is indicated
in the basic display instead of the heat generator temperature.
• When the actual room temperature drops below the present nominal room
temperature + 1K, any active summer switch-off is disabled, provided Automatic
operation was not selected.

Room sensor active, operation disabled:


This setting enables the room temperature-related functions while operation via the
room device is disabled.

Application Public buildings (government, schools, public facilities, etc.) where only the
registration of the room temperature is required.

Room sensor off, operation active:


At this setting the room sensor is only used as a display device without influencing
the room temperature-related functions. The operation of the room device is possible
without restrictions.

Application All system layouts that exclude room influence while the display of the actual room
temperature is still required (in contrast to setting OFF).

Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

7.3.4.2 Heating Circuit Room Factor


Function This function determines to what extent a deviation of the room temperature from the
setpoint affects the control of boiler flow temperature.

If there is no difference between the desired (TARGET) and the current (ACTUAL)
room temperature, the direct heating circuit’s flow temperature is controlled
according to the set heating characteristic .

If there is a difference between the room temperature and the setpoint, the heating
characteristic is shifted parallel to the room temperature axis so that the deviation is
compensated. The amount of the displacement depends on the setting of the room
factor.

The following relation applies:


Corrected room setpoint = adjusted room setpoint – (Deviation x Room Factor)
100
Example Adjusted room setpoint = 21 °C
Actual room temperature = 20 °C
Deviation = – 1 K
For a room influence of 100%:
Corrected room setpoint = 21 °C -(-1K · 100) = 22 °C.
100
The boiler temperature is controlled according to a heating characteristic which
corresponds to a room temperature setpoint of 22 °C.

High settings lead to a quicker adjustment of the control deviation, while they reduce
the stability of the control circuit and can lead with excessively high setpoints to the
oscillating of the control value (= room temperature).

7.3.4.3 Room Controller Heating Circuit


At this setting the heating circuit concerned can be controlled through a room
controller. This requires a room device SDW 20 with room control function. The room
controller directly determines the required flow setpoint and transmits this
information to the central device.

At this setting the control of the respective heating circuit is completely room-guided.
Weather-dependence is inactive. However, the parameters for weather response
(heating characteristic curve settings) can still be entered.

7.3.4.4 Heating curve adaptation heating circuit


Function Adaptation means the automatic adjustment of heating curve slope to the building
characteristics under continuous measurement of outside, flow and room
temperatures. The determination of the optimum heating curve requires prolonged
heating periods so that a balance between heat supply and heat reduction is
ensured. The adaptation causes a targeted readjustment of the heating curve,
depending on the control deviation.

The value found through adaptation is not stored. The larger the deviations, the
larger the correction steps; the smaller the deviations, the smaller the corrections.
The heating curve is newly adapted whenever the heating curve slope parameter
setting is changed at a later stage.

An active adaptation is indicated by a flashing symbol in the user menu.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 98
SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

Adaptation is a useful tool for determining the correct building characteristic curve.
We recommend switching off this parameter once the adaptation is complete, and to
set manually, in the user menu, the slope value found though adaptation.

NOTE An adaptation is allowed under the following conditions:


• Room sensor switched on (Room influence = ON)
• Heating curve adaptation switched on
• Heating operating under any Automatic program
• Continuous heating
• Mean outside temperatures below 16°C
• Room temperature deviations from present setpoint > ±1K.

The adaptation will not be initiated:


• if the heating circuit is switched off
• during the optimization phases
• if Heating curve adaptation is switched off
• if the room sensor is disabled (Room influence = OFF)
• if the outdoors sensor is defective or disconnected
• during reduced operation under any Automatic program
• during permanently reduced operation
• when the boiler maximum temperature is reached

7.3.4.5 Heating Circuit Switch-on Optimisation


Function With this function the latest heating up time is calculated considering the outside and
room temperature (heat loss) to assure the desired room temperature at the set
occupancy start time.

The switch-on times saved in the switching time programs for the relevant heating
circuit do not refer any longer to the heating start time but to the occupancy start
time (i.e. the time when the desired room temperature is reached).

7.3.4.5.1 Switch-on Optimization for Room Control (RC)

For room controller operation, the advance time is determined by adaptation. For this
function, a room station SDW 20 must be connected and its parameter set
appropriately in the heating circuit menu (parameter 4 = RC). The function will not be
effective in conjunction with room device SDW 10.

Function With optimization switched off, a certain time passes at the transition between
reduced operation to heating operation until the room temperature reaches the
nominal daytime temperature (daytime setpoint).
This time is measured to determine an advance factor, which defines how much time
per kelvin of temperature rise the heat-up process takes. The advance factor is
computed from the time measured for the last x heat-up cycles, with x acting as a
damping factor.

The maximum advance time is derived from the parameter setting for switch-on
optimization (direct circuit or mixer 1 or 2 parameters 06).

A sliding setpoint adaptation starting from the advance time is not performed as the
entire control algorithm is designed for sharp setpoint steps.

Boundary conditions Switch-on optimization is carried out only if:


• the controller is in Automatic operation
• the controller is in Reduced operation, meaning that there will be no advance
switch-on between 2 subsequent heating cycles with different room temperature
setpoints
• the new room temperature setpoint is higher than the reduced temperature.

7.3.4.6 Function Heating Limit


This parameter supplements the summer switch-off function. It deactivates the
respective heating circuit as soon as the computed flow temperature setpoint
approaches the present room temperature setpoint.

The heating limit parameter can be activated separately for each heating circuit.

Function Switch-off: Flow-set < (room-set + heating limit setting)


Switch-on: Flow-set > (room-set + heating limit setting + 2K)

Example:
Room setpoint = 22 °C, heating limit setting = 2 K
Switch-off at flow setpoint 24 °C (22°C + 2K)
Switch-on at flow setpoint 26°C (22°C + 2K + 2K)

Boundary conditions The SUMMER SWITCH-OFF function (menu SYSTEM - parameter 04) has priority
over the HEATING LIMIT function.

The FROST PROTECTION function (menu SYSTEM - parameter 05) has priority
over the HEATING LIMIT function.

7.3.4.7 Heating Circuit Room frost protection Limit


Function This function determines the room setpoint of the corresponding heating circuit
during switch-off mode with frost protection activated:

• during holiday mode


• in automatic mode between the heating cycles with active ECO function (see
5.6.4 Direct Heating Circuit Menu, Parameter 01 – Reduced Mode).
• in constant reduced mode with active ECO function (see 5.6.4 Direct Heating
Circuit Menu, Parameter 01 – Reduced Mode)

In connection with a room unit the heating circuit is controlled according to the room
frost protection temperature.

Without a room unit the setting serves a default value for the reduced room
temperature and is controlled on the basis of the latter.(parameter 08)

NOTE! With lasting frost protection mode and sensitive objects in the house like antiques,
plants, etc. the setting value is to be duly adjusted.

7.3.4.8 Room Thermostat Function (Room Temperature Maximum Limit)


Function This function determines a room temperature-related limit with adjustable switching
differential. If the room temperature of the relevant heating circuit exceeds the
current daytime or reduced room setpoint by the set switching differential, the
heating mode is temporarily stopped (heating circuit pump switched off).

Heating operation is resumed as soon as the room temperature of the respective


heating circuit drops to 0.5 K below the switch-off temperature.

Example:
Daytime room temperature setpoint = 22 °C
Thermostat function setting = 4 K
Interruption of heating operation: TRoom > (22 °C + 4 K) > 26.0 °C
Resumption of heating operation: TRoom < (26 °C – 0.5 K) < 25.5 °C

Setting OFF disables the thermostat function.

NOTE The thermostat function is effective in Heating mode and in Reduced mode.

The thermostat function is disabled when AT frost protection is active.

7.3.4.8.1 Special mixing circuit functions

Mixing circuit return


temperature high limit By means of an additional return sensor for the mixing circuit a return temperature
high limit control for this mixing circuit can be activated.

With some applications too high return temperatures may cause technical problems
(district heating, condensating boilers) These can occur if heating system does not
need the heat energy (e.g. radiator valves closed).

101 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

If the return temperature exceeds the maximum value, the controller will change
from flow control to return control and thus prevent too high return temperatures.

7.3.4.8.2 Mixer control

7.3.4.8.2.1 Proportional band Xp

The proportional band Xp defines how a step change of the setpoint effects a
change of the corresponding actuator according to the new setpoint.

Example:
Consider an actuator moving though an angle of 90° in an action time of two
minutes. When a sudden flow temperature control deviation of 10 K occurs (e.g.
when the system switches from reduced to daytime operation) and the P-band
setting is 5%/K, the actuator has to open by 50 % (= 5%/K x 10K). Consequently, the
duration of the actuation pulse is one minute (= 50 % of the actuator action time).

7.3.4.8.2.2 Integral action time Tn

The integral part (= adjustment time) determines the dynamic behavior of the
controller and thus the time required by the controller to adjust for the actual control
deviation. The integral action time is independent of the amount of deviation.

Example:
With a sudden flow temperature control deviation of 10 K (e.g. when the system
switches from reduced to daytime operation) and a Tn setting of 7 minutes, the
controller will adjust for the new (10 K higher) flow temperature after the set time.

NOTE The adjustment time can be determined through the Ziegler-Nichols method: The
mixer is closed, initially, and the heat generator is taken to the maximum
temperature for the heating circuit concerned. As soon as half of all consumers at
the circuit to be measured have been opened, the mixer is fully opened from cold
condition (= room temperature) by means of the Relay Test function. The
characteristic heat-up curve, i.e. the temperature development over time following
this action, shows an inflection point. The crossing of the tangent through that point
and the time axis is the delay time. This value multiplied by the factor 3.3 is the
optimum integral action time for this heating circuit.

7.3.4.8.2.4 Actuator Running Time

This function allows adjusting the actuator, with regard to its finite running time, to
the control characteristics, meaning that actuators with different running times (e.g. 1
min, 2 min, 4 min) react to the same deviation by readjusting by the same amount
through adapting the action times. The integral action time Tn remains unchanged in
this. However, care must be taken that the latter must always exceed the running
time of the respective actuator.

7.3.5 Domestic Hot Water Heating

7.3.5.1 DHW Tank Loading (DHWP)


Function The output controls at request a DHW loading pump during the relevant operating
times.

DHW Day The DHW (Domestic Hot Water-) daytime temperature is set with a key on the user
interface. The DHW daytime temperature provides for the desired hot water
temperature during DHW operating times in the automatic program and during the
PARTY and HEATING operating modes.

This setting is the initial value for the nominal temperatures that can be set for each
heating cycle in the switching-time programs. The temperature settings in the
switching time programs are automatically adjusted when the HW daytime
temperature is changed.

Example Before
Temperature setting hot water daytime temperature: 50 °C

Temperatures in switching-time program:


05:00 – 08:00 60 °C
08:00 – 16:00 50 °C
16:00 – 22:00 60 °C

After
Temperature setting hot water daytime temperature: 52 °C

Temperatures in switching-time program:


05:00 – 08:00 62 °C
08:00 – 16:00 52 °C
16:00 – 22:00 62 °C

Changed settings are stored when key § or î is briefly pressed again or after
automatic return at a preset time. Once the settings are stored, the unit automatically
switches to Basic display.

See also 5.1.2.4 "Daytime DHW Temperature" Key

WW Night Hot water economy temperature is the setpoint for the DHW tank between the active
operating mode times in automatic mode.

If a DHW thermostat is used to determine the water heater temperature, the


parameter for the setting of the economy temperature is skipped.

Legionella Protection In order to kill Legionella germs in the tank, a Legionella protection function can be
activated. To activate, use parameter 02 in the Domestic Hot Water Parameter Menu
(DHW).

In order to completely kill all germs, the Legionella protection temperature should be
set at least at 50 °C.

The setting is carried out with two parameters. The weekday for Legionella
protection can be selected by the end user with a freely accessible parameter
(parameter 02). With parameters 03 and 04 the time and temperature can be set by
the heating technician.

105 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

Temperature measurement Type of temperature measurement


This function determines the type of temperature measurement in the hot water tank.

Usually an electronic temperature probe (immersion sensor in the hot water tank) is
used for this purpose, utilizing the temperature-dependent electric resistance of the
probe.

Alternatively, hot water provision can also be controlled by a mechanical


temperature controller (Thermostat switching contact). A hot-water thermostat is
connected to tank sensor input SF and set to the required nominal temperature.
When the thermostat request energy via the tank sensor input (contact closed), the
tank is loaded with hot water at the set hot water maximum temperature until the
contact opens again.

NOTE With hot water control through a thermostat the actual hot water temperature cannot
be measured and registered and will therefore not be displayed as part of the system
information. Also, the hot water nominal temperatures cannot be set.

Maximum Temperature This function limits the temperature in the DHW tank according to the
aforementioned set value (parameter06). The desired water heater daytime
temperature to be set at the user level is limited by this parameter.

NOTE! If a DHW thermostat is used to determine the water heater temperature (see
Parameter 05), this function is not active.

CAUTION Hot water maximum temperature limitation is function protecting the tank and
terminates hot water loading into the tank. The tank loading pump is switched
off immediately when the maximum temperature is exceeded. In this case it
cannot be ensured that the set extended running time is adhered to.

NOTE If a HW-thermostat is used instead of an electronic sensor, the HW maximum


temperature setting (plus the set temperature shift during loading) is forwarded to the
heat generator.

DHW Operating Mode


(parameter 07) With this function it is set how the heating system reacts to a heat demand from the
DHW tank. There are 5 different setting options.

Parallel Mode
During tank loading the heating circuits remain operative.

Priority Mode
During tank loading the heating circuits are put out of function. They are restarted as
soon as the DHW loading pump extended running time is over.

If the DHW setpoint is not reached after 4 hours, an alarm is indicated on the display

Conditional Priority
During tank loading the heating circuits remain blocked until the temperature in the
heat generator reaches the current DHW target value minus half the burner
switching differential.
The heating circuits will be enabled according to the following criteria:

Enabling the heating circuits:


HG actual temperature >DHW setpoint + DHW switching differential/2 + 10K

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 106


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

Disabling the heating circuits:


HG actual temperature <DHW setpoint + DHW switching differential/2 + 5K

NOTE! In this operating mode the loading temperature increase for the tank is to be
selected so that the heat generator does not switch off before the heating circuits are
enabled. A parallel shift of at least 10K should be set so that this function can
operate correctly.

Weather-responsive Parallel Mode


Above the set outside frost protection limit DHW heating is carried out in priority
mode; in case of active frost protection there is a switchover to parallel mode.

Priority Mode with Intermediate Heating


With this setting DHW loading is limited to a maximum of 20 minutes in order to
provide for a 10-minute long intermediate heating. The loading procedure is
continued at the end of the intermediate heating. DHW loading and intermediate
heating are carried out in an alternating order until DHW tank loading is finished.

Priority valve Switching


Tank loading is carried by means of a three-way changeover valve; the heating
circuit pump is also the DHW loading pump. At the end of the DHW loading and at
the expiry of the extended time the three-way valve is changed back to heating
mode.

The heating circuit pump is connected at output DKP and the three-way valve to
output SLP in this case.

External operation (Request does not act on heating generator and heating
circuit)
In external operation hot-water loading is switched only according to the set
switching differentials. There is neither a heat request to the heat generator nor tank
priority operation to the heating circuits. The parameters Boiler parallel shift, Tank
Discharge Protection, Pump Extended Running Time and Boiler Start-up Protection
do not act on the HW loading pump.

Tank Discharge Protection (parameter 08)


With discharge protection activated and a HW request present, the HW loading
pump enabled only when the temperature in the heat generator rises by more than 5
K above the actual temperature in the hot water tank.

This measure prevents any rear tank discharge through the heat generator. The HW
loading pump is disabled again as soon as the temperature difference between the
heat generator and the HW tank has dropped to less than 2 K.

NOTE! The heat generator minimum temperature limit operates continuously to protect the
heat generator and blocks the DHW loading pump in case of temperatures below the
set value.

107 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

CAUTION In case of DHW temperature settings above 60°C this function should not be
activated to avoid safety switch-off (in particular for heat generators with a low
water capacity).
Tank Discharge Protection must be set accordingly for HW loading from buffer
tanks.

Boiler Temperature
parallel shift: This function determines the default setting of the tank loading temperature
compared to the set DHW setpoint. In case of setpoint modifications the heating
energy needed for the DHW supply is adjusted.

In case of several controllers connected via bus and several DHW circuits the tank
loading temperature depends on the highest setpoint if several tanks are loaded
simultaneously.

Switching differential This function determines the size of the DHW switching differential. The switching
differential affects the relevant DHW setpoint symmetrically.

Loading enabling The current DHW temperature is lower than the DHW setpoint by half the amount of
the DHW switching differential.

Loading abort The current DHW temperature exceeds the DHW setpoint by half the amount of the
DHW switching differential.

Extended Pump
running time After switching-off the heat generator the tank loading pump is stopped only after a
time delay to prevent a safety switch-off in case of high temperatures. The setting
can be adjusted to the capacity of the DHW tank.

NOTE! Excessively long overtravel times interrupt unnecessarily the heating mode and
increase the temperature in the hot water tank.

Tank sensor 2 For complete loading of a hot-water tank by means of automatic measuring point
changeover between tank sensors 1 and 2 (layer loading). The measured value of
the hotter sensor (SF1 or SF2) is evaluated for the activation of the loading pump.
Termination of the loading is carried out on the basis of the measured value of the
colder sensor. The set values for the hot-water setpoint temperature and the
specified hot-water switching difference continue to apply.

7.3.5.2 Circulation pump (CIR.)


NOTE! This function is callable only if a variable output is defined for a circulation pump.

Function The output controls a hot water circulation pump.

Economy Interval (Pulse) The use of the economy interval minimizes the usual circulation losses owing to
adjustable switch-on intervals during operating and determines the run time of the
DHW circulation pump within an adjustable period (economy interval).

Economy Interval
(Period duration) This parameter determines the length of the period and hence the duration of the
pause in a circulation pump pulse operating mode.

Economy interval Pause = Economy interval Period duration – Economy interval Pulse –

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 108


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

The switching-on degree is calculated from the ratio:


n = Pulse time/Period duration x 100 (%)
Example:
With an economy pause of 15 min and an economy period of 20 min, the circulation
pump will run for 5 min before the subsequent pause of 15 min.

The duty cycle n is calculated as: n = 5/20 = 25 %

Switching Times In this function a DHW circulation pump can be coupled to an existing automatic
program of a control circuit with regard to the switch-on and switch-off times. The
DHW circulation pump is in function during the heating or DHW cycles of the
selected circuit and program.

NOTE If operation of the time programs P2 and P3 were not enabled (see parameter
ZEITPROGRAMM on parameter level SYSTEM) and the circulation pump is
assigned to one of these programs, the pump will operate according to the stored
standard times. The same applies if a switching-time program was selected that
does not exist for the controller in use (e.g. a MK 2 for SDC 9-21).

Circulation pump HW parameter 16 allows switching off the circulation pump during HW loading.
with district heating

7.3.5.2.1 Electrical Heating Element (ELH)

Function The function controls indirectly (via circuit breaker) an electrical water heater if the
automatic summer switch-off is active.

An external DHW thermostat including the necessary safety installation will take care
of the switch off function.

7.3.6 Solar / Solid Fuel / Buffer

7.3.6.1 Solar Loading Pump (SOP)

Function The solar function makes it possible to combine solar panels with heating and DHW
systems in order to support the economy of the system. The Solar loading pump can
be controlled according to various conditions.

NOTE! This function is only active if a variable output is assigned to a solar loading pump.

Two separate sensor inputs are available for this function:


• SPFS for the solar panel flow temperature
• SBUS for the solar buffer tank

For heat metering a variable input (VI1..VI3) can be assigned for the solar panel
return sensor SPRS.

If the solar panel flow sensor is defect, the loading pump wiil be switched off for
safety reasons.

Switch on differential With sufficient solar heat energy the temperature difference between panel flow and
solar buffer tank will become bigger than the adjusted value and the solar panel
pump is switched on to load the buffer tank. The minimum value is 3K above the
switch off differential.

109 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

Switch off differential If the temperature difference between panel flow and buffer tank falls below this
adjusted differential, the pump will be switched off and the loading terminated. The
maximum value is always 3K below the switch on differential.

Minimum running time The solar pump remains running for this adjusted time. The minimum running time
has priority over the switch off differential.

Solar panel
maximum limit This limit serves for the thermical protection of the solar panel/s. It activates the
panel pump if the adjusted temperature is exceeded. If the panel temperature falls
below the adjusted value again, then all solar functions and settings will be active
again.
Buffer maximum limit If the temperature in the buffer tank exceeds this limit, then even the solar panel
maximum limit function will be deactivated so that the pump switches off. This
function can be activated again as soon as the buffer tank temperature falls more
than 10K below its maximum limit.

Solar operating mode This function defines the loading mode:

Solar priority mode


During solar loading the heat demand is not sent to the heat generator when it is not
active. An active heat generator stays in operation until the next switch off cycle.

Solar parallel mode


During solar loading the demand to the heat generator is permitted.

Heat generator Heat generator temporary interruption (only with solar operating mode = priority
temporary interruption mode)
The temporary interruption serves to prevent frequent switching between solar
loading and loading by the heat generator. After a solar pump switch-off the set time
has to pass before the solar buffer tank can be loaded again by the heat generator
(boiler).

Switchover Parallel Solar priority / parallel switchover (only with solar operating mode = priority mode)
When the temperature in the solar tank drops below the nominal value by this
temperature setting during priority solar loading, the system is automatically witched
to parallel operation (Temporary interruption disabled, heat generator enabled).
Priority mode is activated again as soon as the tank temperature rises above the
actual setpoint plus the HW switching differential.

Heat balance Heat balancing is activated through this parameter setting. The user can select
between flow calculation via the pump running time and determination of the flow
volume via the pulse signal input of the device, if such input is available. Any
commercial flow meter can be connected to the pulse input.

Reset heat balance (only if heat balancing is activated)


If the heat balancing is active, the counter can be reset with this parameter.

Volume flow (only with Heat balancing enabled)


This setting allows choosing between volume flow computed in

• liters/minute for calculating the flow volume or


• liters / pulse when using the pulse input corresponding to the respective pumping
capacity of the solar loading pump.

NOTE! If the adjustment is 0, there is no heat balance.

Fluid density (only if heat balancing is activated)

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 110


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

This parameter defines the fluid density according to the manufacturers data.

Fluid heat capacity This parameter defines the specific heat capacity for the correct calculation of the
heat balance. The data is supplied by the fluid manufacturer.

NOTE! The physical data Volume flow, density, and specific heat form the basis for the heat
output calculation.

W = (V / t) · ρ · cW · ∆δ · tSOP

The results can be seen in the information level.

W = Heat capacity
V/t = Volume flow of the heat carrier medium
ρ = Density of the heat carrier medium
cW = Specific heat capacity of the heat carrier medium
∆δ = Temperature difference (solar panel feed / return flow)

Anti blocking function This is an automatic function of the controller. If the solar loading pump was
switched off for longer than 24 hours, then it will be started for 20 seconds in order to
prevent blocking through corrosion.

7.3.6.2 Buffer Loading Pump (BULP)

NOTE This function is only active if a buffer loading pump is assigned to a programmable
switching output or if a buffer tank sensor is connected to a variable input.

For stratified discharge, an optional second buffer tank sensor (PF 2) can be
connected at a variable input (VI1 to VI3).

The heat generator temperature is supplied by the temperature measuring device of


the heat generator.

Function Buffer or energy tanks are used for storing energy that is available without control
(e.g. from solar equipment or wood boilers). This energy buffer covers he energy
demand from heating circuits and HW systems.

Additional energy demand can be covered by controlled heat generators (boilers).

The buffer loading pump function ensures that a controlled heat generator supplies
the additional energy to the buffer tank or the heating and hot-water circuits,
respectively.

If no controlled heat generator is used (e.g. heating by wood boilers only), buffer
functions such as forced dissipation into the heating circuits can be used by
connecting and activating buffer tank sensor 1 at a variable input.

Operating modes To support the full range of available combination options in multivalent heating
systems with buffer support, the control system offers the possibility to set various
operating modes for buffer operation. The different settings cause different
processing sequences of heat requests for heating circuits and hot water. In the
following, the different operating modes are illustrated using exemplary hydraulics
layouts.

This hydraulic layout is used when an alternative-energy buffer tank is added to an

All heat requests are sent to the heat generator.

When the buffer tank can cover the energy demand, the heat generator nominal
temperature is maintained by the buffer, via BULP (PLP), instead of the burner.

In this way the heat generator always operates at its nominal temperature and can
not be exposed to excessive buffer temperatures.

Loading control
The supply of energy from a controlled heat generator to the heating circuits is
realized through loading the buffer tank. The buffer control ensures that the buffer is
supplied with sufficient energy from the heat generator, via the buffer loading pump.

Discharge control 1
The heating circuits are supplied with energy either from the buffer through
discharging the buffer tank via BULP, provided the buffer tank contains sufficient
energy, or through direct supply from the heat generator.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 116


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

NOTE If a heat generator disable is active (e.g. through external burner disabling via
contact, temporary interruption (solid fuel/solar)), the energy contained in the buffer,
independent of the actual buffer level, is dissipated into the heating circuits by
enabling the buffer discharge channel (e.g. switching on the buffer loading pump or
switching over the BULP diverter valve). The buffer minimum temperature is
monitored. DHW loading is enabled under the conditions of buffer/tank discharge
protection.

Discharge control 2
The heating circuits are always supplied with energy from the heat generator. As
long as the buffer contains sufficient energy, the heat generator will be heated via
the buffer loading pump instead of the burner. If the energy in the buffer is not
sufficient, the burner will be started.

NOTE If a heat generator disable is active (e.g. through external burner disabling via
contact, temporary interruption (solid fuel/solar)), this will only result in the
suppression of the request to the burner.

Buffer nominal temperature The buffer nominal temperature is the temperature that the buffer tank has to provide
for supplying the connected heating circuits. It corresponds to the highest demand
value of the respective heating circuits.

Example:
Demand value MC-1 = 45 °C
Demand value MC-2 = 55 °C
Demand value DHW = 65 °C

=> Buffer nominal temperature = 65 °C

Any required temperature offset (e.g. hot-water parallel shift during loading) is
already taken into account in the demand values of the heating circuits.

Buffer minimum temperature When there is a heat request to the buffer tank from the heating circuits or from DHW
limit this request will be maintained at least to the minimum temperature limit. When the
temperature drops below this limit, the buffer tank is recharged by the heat generator
under the conditions of the buffer start-up protection.

Buffer maximum- Buffer temperatures above the set buffer maximum temperature limit will trigger
temperature limit a forced switch-off
Of the buffer loading pump. The excess heat is dissipated into the selected circuits
(see Forced dissipation). Forced dissipation is disabled and buffer operation is
resumed when the temperature in the buffer tank drops below 2 K under the set
maximum temperature limit.

Buffer temperature to ensure an adequate control reserve for all consumers connected to the buffer
offset heat generator tank, the demand value sent to the heat generator can be raised by an additional
temperature offset.

Buffer switching differential When the buffer tank temperature rises above the actual demand value by the set
differential, the buffer loading pump will be switched off. The pump is switched on
again as soon as the buffer tank temperature drops below the actual demand value.

117 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

Buffer forced dissipation When the set buffer maximum temperature limit is exceeded, the excess energy can
be dissipated into the heating circuits and the hot-water tank. The heating circuits
into which the forced dissipation is routed are determined by the respective
parameter.

Possible settings OFF


No heat dissipation

Tank loading pump


Only for independent DHW tanks

CAUTION Thermal mixer valve at water heater outlet obligatory because of scalding
hazard.

Heating circuit pump(s)


Any excess heat is dissipated into the heating circuit(s), without exceeding the set
maximum temperature. The intended room temperature may be exceeded for short
periods. If the respective circuits are equipped with room stations, the thermostat
function should be activated.

CAUTION For floor heating a contact thermostat must be installed to control forced
switch-off of the pumps.

Dissipation into buffer tank

Buffer skimming function Whenever the buffer tank is not being loaded by the heat generator (buffer setpoint
reached) the difference between the heat generator temperature and the buffer tank
temperature is measured continuously (BS). The buffer loading pump is switched on
as soon as the temperature difference rises above the set extended-running switch-
on differential. The buffer loading pump is switched off immediately when the
temperature difference drops to the extended-running switch-off differential.

This skimming function ensures that excess energy in the heat generator (e.g. due to
extended heating) will not be lost.

Buffer start-up protection In buffer operation there is no start-up protection for the heat generator acting on the
heating circuits. The start-up protection only acts on the buffer loading pump. When
buffer start-up protection is switched on and the buffer tank temperature drops below
the minimum temperature limit, all consumer circuits (HC, DHW) are separated
hydraulically (Pumps are switched off). The buffer start-up protection is disabled
(pumps are switched on again) when the buffer tank temperature exceeds the buffer
minimum temperature plus half of he buffer switching differential. All consumer
circuits remain in operation when buffer start-up protection is switched off.

Buffer start-up protection can be switched off.

Buffer discharge protection Buffer discharge protection disables the buffer loading pump until the heat generator
temperature has risen to more than 5 K above the buffer nominal temperature.
This function helps preventing rear buffer discharge though the heat generator. The
buffer loading pump is disabled again when the temperature difference between the
heat generator and the buffer tank is less than 2 K.

Buffer tank sensor 2 (BS2) Buffer tank sensor 2 (BS 2)


As an option, the buffer tank can be equipped with the second buffer sensor (BS2)
via the variable inputs, for stratified loading of the buffer tank. The buffer is loaded
through the active heat generator as soon as the higher temperature (of the two
sensor temperatures) drops below the set nominal value. Loading though the heat
generator is terminated when the lower temperature (of the two sensor
temperatures) has reached the nominal value plus the set buffer switching
differential (stratified loading)

7.3.6.3 Solid Fuel Loading Pump (SFP)


NOTE! This function is only enabled, if a variable output is assigned to a solid fuel pump

The following sensors can be used for this function:

• SFS for the solid fuel boiler sensor


The connection is made according to the assignment to VI1 or VI2
• SFP for the solid-fuel buffer sensor (optional)
Connection according to assignment to any available variable input VI1 – VI3.
• If no SFP is connected, the SBUS signal (dedicated sensor input) is accepted as
a buffer sensor. In this way the SBUS input can be used as a sensor input for
several uncontrolled heat generators (e.g. solar or solid-fuel).

CAUTION Note the sensor and stratification conditions.

A forced switch-on will be initiated for the solid fuel loading pump if a solid-fuel boiler
sensor is defective.

Function The solid-fuel function allows integrating solid-fuel boilers (usually in combination
with a buffer tank) into the system to support the heating. Under this function the
solid fuel loading pump can be controlled through various switching conditions as
described in the following.

Solid fuel boiler low limit If the temperature of the solid fuel boiler is 10 K higher than the low limit, the solid
fuel loading pump will be switched on, if it falls below the low limit, it will be switched
off.

Solid fuel boiler high limit If the temperature of the solid fuel boiler is higher than the high limit, the solid fuel
loading pump will be forced to switch on. The excess heat will then be dissipated into
the selected (see menue buffer tank)circuits. This forced operation will be finished
and the temperature difference control enabled when the solid fuel boiler
temperature falls more than 10K below the high limit.

Solid fuel boiler,


temp. difference control If the solid fuel boiler temperature increases above the buffertank + adjusted switch
on temperature difference, the normal buffertank loading process can start again.

Prerequisite:
The temperature of the solid-fuel boiler lies at least 10 K over the minimum
temperature limitation.

Adjusted temperature difference must be 3 K higher than switch off temperature


difference.

difference for switch off If the temperature difference is lower than the switch off difference, the loading
process will be terminated and the pump will be switched off. The maximum setting
value constantly lies 3 K under the selected activation difference in order to prevent
rear discharging of the buffer tank.

Temporary interruption Solid-fuel temporary interruption heat generator


The solid fuel temporary interruption serves to prevent frequent switching between
loading through the solid-fuel boiler and loading through a conventional oil/gas heat
generator.
After the solid-fuel loading pump has been switched off, the set time must pass
before loading of the buffer tank is continued through the conventional heat
generator.

anti blocking function As an automatic function of the controller the pump will be switched for 20 sec if it
has not been in operation for more than 24h.

7.3.7 Solar loading switchover


In systems that have both an external hot water tank and a buffer tank, a diverter
valve can be used to switch between loading the hot water tank and loading the
buffer tank from solar equipment. This allows economical and effective use of solar
power to support the heating during periods when less solar power is available.

Description To ensure that the solar collector in priority operation (temperature measurement
through SPFS, usually HW tank) can be loaded, checks are performed at regular
intervals whether sufficient solar power is available (meaning the solar panel
temperature is sufficiently high for loading and the set switchover temperature can
be reached).

Switchover This function allows switching a diverter valve according to the load condition of two
heat storage tanks (2-point output) so that solar energy can be used to support the
heating system during periods of low solar intake.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 120


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

Measuring cycle If the switchover condition is not fulfilled after a preset time interval of 30 minutes
(meaning the temperature in the first-priority tank remains below the set switchover
temperature) und if the loading conditions for the second-priority tank (temperature
measurement through SBUS, usually buffer tank for heating support) are fulfilled, the
solar loading pump (SOP) is temporarily switched off after the time set on Solar level
(parameter 15). During the inactive time of the pump the difference between the
solar panel flow sensor (SPFS) and the sensor for solar switchover (SLVS) is
determined. If the switch-on condition is fulfilled, the first-priority tank is loaded. If the
loading condition is not fulfilled after the set time, loading is continued into the lower-
priority tank as long as the loading conditions are not fulfilled.
These cyclic checks are suspended if the temperature at sensor SLVS plus the
switch-on differential becomes greater or equal the set final switch-off temperature.

Operation of Solar loading switchover


This function can only be set if a SOP is set on the Hydraulics parameter level.

7.3.8 Solar forced dissipation


Function This function allows preventing the degassing of the medium at high solar panel
temperatures in solar power systems. Such degassing can occur when solar heat
tank is full (maximum temperature exceeded) and, consequently, forced dissipation
into the heat tank is impossible. In this case the solar pump would be switched off
and the solar panel temperature would rise.
Description The function of the solar forced heat dissipation valve involves a forced switch-off of
the SOP when the final switch-off temperature is exceeded.
This function is independent of the assignment of a force-dissipation valve to a
variable output.
The final switch-off setting is independent of the preset solar panel maximum
temperature and can be lower than the latter. In this way there are independent
forced switch-on and forced switch-off functions for the SOP.

The Solar forced heat dissipation output is energized under the following conditions:
• Function enabled for solar tank temperatures in excess of the maximum
temperature.
• When the solar panel temperature rises above the set solar panel maximum
temperature the output is switched on while the solar loading pump continues
running.
• When the solar panel temperature rises above the set final switch-off temperature
the SFD output and the solar loading pump are switched off.

Operation This function can be selected only if an SOP has been set.

CAUTION When this function is active the solar loading pump continues running even
when the solar panel temperature exceeds the set solar panel maximum
temperature.

Function Using a 3-way switching valve, hydraulic buffer relief (HBR) causes temporary intake
into the upper region of the buffer tank, if that region has not reached its nominal
temperature yet, so that connected heating or hot water circuits receive priority
supply of energy.
When the buffer temperature exceeds the buffer setpoint by 2.5 K, the 3-way
switching valve is hydraulically coupled to the lower region of the buffer tank so that
the entire buffer tank can be loaded. Another switchover to the upper region of the
buffer tank is initiated as soon as the buffer temperature drops below 2.5 K under the
buffer nominal temperature.

Application Partial buffer loading with priority supply for heating and hot water for all types of
loading control modes (see buffer operating modes 1, 2 and 5)

Hydraulic function When the output is inactive (de-energized), the buffer is fully loaded (valve position
A–AB, relief deactivated).
When the output is active (live), only the upper part of the buffer tank is loaded
(valve position B–AB, relief activated).

Switching differential SDHBR: 5 K (fixed)


Switch-on: Buffer setpoint + ½ SDHBR
Switch-off: Buffer setpoint - ½ SDHBR

7.3.10.6 Demand Contact


NOTE! The function for a demand contact is active if setting 5 (demand Contact) was
selected at a variable input (”Hydraulic” Menu, Parameters 08, 09, 10).

Function If a variable contact (see note) has been defined as a demand contact, the
corresponding parameter for allocating the contact to the respective heating circuit
(i.e. the heating circuit to be addressed by the demand contact) is displayed in the
“System” menu.

The range of setting includes all control circuits within a controller (DK, MK-1, MK-2,
WW, ALL) so that the demand contact can be allocated either to each individual
heating and hot water circuit or, if required, to all circuits.

CAUTION No multi-controller function for data bus systems with several central devices.

NOTE Once a room device is connected and registered via the data bus to the central
device, the central device automatically switches to remote operating mode! This is
necessary to ensure clear operation of the system with connected room devices.

7.3.12 Cascading of heat generators in the bus system

7.3.12.1 General description of cascading of control devices


Function In its standard version the control system features the possibility to couple and
cascade several boilers in a simple way. Also, the cascade control is independent of
the type of heat generators to be combined. For instance, condensing boilers can be
easily combined with atmospheric gas boilers.

The system automatically recognizes a cascade by checking if several central


devices have programmed a heat generator, or if more than one condensing boiler is
connected to a central device. In cascade operation an additional cascade selection
level is displayed for handling the parameters in the central device assigned to bus
address 10.

NOTE Cascade operation excludes 2-stage boiler control. All available stages are switched
by the cascade management. Consequently, the respective parameters of the Heat
generator selection level are not available for settings. All controls are governed by
cascade control.

EN2H-0221GE51 R1105 132


SDC / DHC 43 Hydraulic Components and their Functions

7.3.12.2 Functions of the cascade parameter


Switching differential: Each heat generator has its own switching differential. The cascade switching
differential must be set in such a way that it is always wider than the switching
differential of any individual heat generator.

Switch-on delay: The afterheating characteristics of the boilers must be taken into account when
rating the heating system. The cascade switch-on delay serves to adjust the system
to start-up delays of the individual boilers, i.e. when, after being enabled, the heat
generator delivers its energy into the system (start-up phase, run-in period). The
appropriate setting is the maximum delay time of the boilers in the system.

Switch-off delay: This parameter controls the run-down of the heat generators to avoid that all heat
generators switch off at the same time when the set cascade switching differential is
exceeded. The setting has to be adjusted to the afterheating characteristics of the
heat generators.

Stage swap: To ensure the balanced utilization of the heat generators within a cascade (cascade
stages), a running-time-dependent leading stage swap can be activated.

After the set operating time of the presently leading heat generator, the system
switches to the heat generator with the next higher bus address.

Stage swap can only be executed between several central devices. It cannot be
applied if several condensing boilers are switched by a single central device.

Leading stage: The leading cascade stage can still be set manually to any existing stage even when
automatic stage-sequence switching is disabled.

NOTE Changing the heat generator type within the central device under address 10 leads
to an automatic reset of the leading stage setting to the first heat generator.

7.3.12.3 Mode of operation of cascade control

7.3.12.3.1 Switch-on characteristics

The switch-on characteristics of a boiler stage is determined by the set switching


differential and the dynamic switch-on delay. The stage number is incremented only
when the following criteria are fulfilled:

BTact < BTnom – SD/2

t >= tswitch-on delay * (100 – (dFT * 100 / FTnom) ) / 100

Stagenumber = Stageselect

The actual boiler temperature BTact of the leading boiler or the total flow sensor
temperature FT has to have been below the boiler nominal temperature BTnom minus
half the switching differential SD for the time t, which has to be at least as long as
the calculated switch-on delay. Additionally, the requested stage number must have
been sent to central device10 as the active status response.

133 EN2H-0221GE51 R1105


Hydraulic Components and their Functions SDC / DHC 43

7.3.12.3.2 Switch-off characteristics

The stage number is decremented again as soon as the temperature of the leading
boiler or of the total flow sensor exceeds the present nominal boiler temperature plus
half of the switching differential for at least the calculated switch-off delay time.

BTact > KTnom – SD/2 or BTact >= BTMAX

t >= tswitch-off delay * (100 – (dFT * 100 / FTnom) ) / 100

Stagenumber = Stageselect

7.3.12.3.3 Control characteristics

• The heat generator that was switched on last adjusts the system to the set
nominal temperature.
• All other heat generators operate at the set maximum temperature (base load).
• The boiler stage number can be reduced as soon as the adjusting stage has
withdrawn its request to the heat generator and the boiler temperature has risen
above the set nominal temperature plus the set switching differential.
• For each heat generator the displayed nominal temperature always is the
presently requested temperature to be adjusted to..
• A heat generator that is not available (malfunction, external inhibit or outside
temperature inhibit) is ignored within the stage sequence. The next available heat
generator will be switched on instead.

7.3.12.3.4 Behavior for special functions

Manual operation The heating circuits of the control device in which manual operation was activated,
operate according to the HAND function. The set request value is forwarded to the
energy management module of cascade control, and adjusted to by the available
boiler stages.

Emission measurement This function works as described under “Emission measurement“, with the following
extensions:
• The effect on heating circuits is extended to all heating circuits of the system.
• Enabling of the heat generators (burner) is initiated at the same devices where
emission measurement was activated.

STB This function works as described under “STB check”, with the following extension:
As soon as an STB function is detected within the BUS system, all consumers
(heating circuits) are inhibited.

Emergency mode The parameters of cascade control are determined in the central device with the bus
address 10. If that controller becomes unavailable due to some defect, the remaining
stages continue operating in an emergency mode. In this mode all heat generators
adjust to the same boiler nominal temperature (parallel operation). As soon as the
cascade manager comes back into operation, cascade control is reactivated
automatically.

Data transmission To enable the cascade function to process fast switching events, the transmission of
he cascade data was given a higher priority. Consequently, the data transmission
from any device to the master device, and of the request values from the master to
the slaver devices, takes no longer than approx. 3 seconds.

The AUTO SET function is only active at power up.

There are two possibilities of calling up the AUTO SET function.

Automatic call-up If the commissioning date has not yet been stored, connected or disconnected

period. After the commissioning date has been saved, a change in the sensor
configuration is only still possible after the manual Set function. The AUTO SET
function can be enabled at any time again for a day (day change) by the parameter.

Manual call-up Manual call-up of the AUTO SET function is always possible. The call-up is activated
by pressing the pressure rotary transducer during the version display until the AUTO
SET function is shown in the display. The basic display is activated after the function
has been carried out.

A change in the function assignment by the AUTO SET function is only carried out
depending on the following inputs and selected configuration:

Input Only executed if:


Outdoor sensor (AF)
Flow sensor 1 (VF1) MK1: OFF / Mixer circuit valve
Flow sensor 2 (VF2) MK2: OFF / Mixer circuit valve
Tank sensor (SF) SLP: OFF / Tank loading pump
Boiler sensor (KF) BR: OFF / Single-stage

The current setting values are checked beforehand so that the configuration carried
out is not maladjusted by the AUTO SET function. A change is only carried out if one
of the settings specified above is applicable. This ensures that the AUTO SET
function cannot, for example, ever log off a return increase at the MK2 or re-function
it into a mixer heating circuit.

7.3.13.2 Emission Measurement (not for DHC43)


By pressing this key, the heat generator is controlled for 20 minutes according to the
maximum temperature limit. The remaining time is displayed as it elapses.

In case of two stage heat generators both stages are operative (measurement with
standard heat output).

Function The heat generator is controlled to Heat generator maximum temperature. All
heating circuits as well as DHW adjust to their respective maximum temperature.

WARNING There is danger of scalding because the DHW temperatures may rise above
the DHW setpoint

Termination Emission measurement can be terminated in any moment in advance with the ¡
key.

Safety check (Safety temperature limiter check – to be performed only by the technician)

Function By keeping the rotary pushbutton pressed during an emission measurement the
integrated heat generator maximum temperature limit is bypassed, the heat
generator remains in function continuously until the triggering of the safety
LIMITER TEST temperature limiter (SLT).

During the SLT check all the loads are separated from the heat generator, i.e. any
available mixing valve is closed and all the heating and DHW loading pumps are put
out of function.
The emission measurement is continued from the moment of the termination with the
previously saved residual time.
Application SLT check by the heating technician

Termination Release the rotary pushbutton – the emission measurement still active is stopped
with the ¡ key.

7.3.13.3 Relay / Function Test


Function Depending on the controller version various outputs can be tested. This is not only a
relay test, but a function test by means of which the hydraulic components are
tested. The partially compulsory sequence of the switching procedures is
considered.

After selecting the test function the relevant relays can be switched one after the
other by pressing the rotary pushbutton î in the specified switching sequence.

7.3.13.4 Malfunction Messages


Function The control unit has a malfunction message log in which a maximum of five
malfunction messages can be saved. The malfunction messages are displayed with
the date, time and malfunction type (error number); the query is carried out in the
sequence of the entered malfunction messages in the ”Malfunction Message” Menu.

The last (= most recent) malfunction message is in first position (No. 01); the
previous malfunction messages are shifted down by a position upon each new
malfunction message. The fifth malfunction message is deleted when a new
malfunction message appears.

There are 4 different types of messages:

Sensor alarm messages Sensor values which are not in their respective measuring range will either be
sensor breaks or sensor short circuits. Depending on the type of sensor the
indication will be between 10 and 20 and the index 0 for short circuit or 1 for break.

HG alarm messages These messages depend on the actual switching conditions and the indication will
be between 30 and 40, index 0,1 or 2

Logical alarm messages These messages will react on the actual control result. They appear between 50 and
60 with Index 0,1 or 2
Logical alarm messages can be disabeled with a special parameter.

Bus alarm messages These messages display adress problems like double adresses, not recognizing
adresses, etc. They appear with code 70 and Index 0 or 1.

Alarms will be indicated:

• In the controller display


• In the INFO menue
• Malfunction message log
• If active through an assigned output
• Via bus

Malfunction message register The control device features a malfunction message register in which up to 5
malfunction messages can be saved. The messages are displayed with date, time
and malfunction type (alarm code). The stored malfunction messages can be called
up in inverse chronological order in the “Malfunction messages” menu.

The last (= most recent) is at the top of the list (no. 01), with all previous messages
shifted back by one place with each new incoming entry. The fifth malfunction
message is deleted whenever a new malfunction message arrives.

In case of a heat generator malfunction (alarm code 30-1 or 31-3) while the system
frost protection is active, the boiler start-up protection is switched off and the heating
circuit pumps are switched on to reduce the risk of freezing of the system.

7.3.13.5 Sensor Calibration


Function If the measured values of the connected sensors do not match the actual
temperatures, calibration of the sensor values is possible with the ”Sensor
Calibration” parameter menu. In this menu all the sensors connected to the controller
can be corrected by ± 5K compared to the factory calibration value.

The current measured value plus or minus the specified correction as well as the
new value appear on the display. The compensation steps amount to 0.5 K.

CAUTION The sensor circuits are adjusted at the factory with precise measurement
instruments. An adjustment is to be carried out only if it is determined that the
amount of the deviation is constant along the entire measurement range.

In case of the calibration of a sensor the relevant amount must be


unconditionally registered, as the factory setting is no longer valid and the
reference value is otherwise lost.

The original factory setting cannot be restored by means of a reset!

Application – Compensation for very long sensor lines


– Constant external temperature effect on the sensor
– Sensor outside of the tolerance range (>1%)

7.3.13.6 Controller global reset


A global reset can be performed to return the controller to its factory condition. In this
reset all parameters, settings und counters accessible though the enabled code are
reset. The controller is restarted.

Settings which are not accessible through the set access code are preserved.

Activation Simultaneous pressing of keys ¢, ¥, ¦ and §

7.3.13.7 Controller time correction


In some special cases it may become necessary to adjust the running time of the
clock integrated in the controller. Please contact the manufacturer if such case
occurs.
