General information


Application

  • All-in-one control devices for VAV terminal units
  • Dynamic differential pressure transducer, electronic controller, and actuator are fitted together in one casing
  • Choice of various control options based on setpoint value default setting
  • Volume flow rate control is based on setpoint values received from room temperature controller, central BMS, air quality controller or other devices as an analogue signal or via communication interface
  • Override controls for activating qvmin, qvmax, shut-off or OPEN position can be set with a switch or relay or in the Modbus/BACnet register
  • The volume flow rate actual value is available as a network data point or as a linear voltage signal
  • The damper blade position is available as a network data point
  • Standard filtration in comfort conditioning systems allows for use of the controller in the supply air without additional dust protection
  • The ZTH EU service tool and PC-Tool can be used to configure the controller and the communication parameters

With heavy dust levels in the room

  • Install suitable extract air filters upstream, as a partial volume flow is routed through the transducer for volume flow rate measurement

If the air is contaminated with dust, fluff or sticky particles

  • Use a control component with static differential pressure transducer, e.g. BUSN




Control strategy

  • The volume flow controller works independently of the duct pressure
  • Differential pressure fluctuations do not result in permanent volume flow rate changes
  • To prevent the control from becoming unstable, a dead band is allowed within which the damper blade does not move.
  • Flow rate range parameterised in the controller at the factory (qvmin: minimum volume flow rate, qvmax: maximum volume flow rate)
  • Operating parameters are specified via the order code and parameterised in the factory

① Effective pressure transducer

② Actuator

③ Volume flow controller

④ Setpoint value signal

 

VAV terminal units control the volume flow in a closed loop, i.e. measurement – comparison – correction.
For volume flow rate measurement the effective pressure is measured first. This is done with a differential pressure sensor. The integral differential pressure transducer transforms the effective pressure into a voltage signal. The volume flow rate actual value is available as a voltage signal. The factory setting is such that 10 V DC always corresponds to the nominal flow rate (qvnom).
The volume flow rate setpoint value comes from a higher-level controller (e.g. room temperature controller, air quality controller, central BMS). Variable volume flow control results in a value between qvmin and qvmax. It is possible to override the room temperature control, e.g. by a complete shut-off of the duct.
The controller compares the differential pressure setpoint value to the actual value and controls the actuator accordingly if there is a difference.

Analogue mode or hybrid mode 0 – 10 V DC or 2 – 10 V DC

The controller is supplied from the factory with operating mode Modbus-RTU. For analogue or hybrid mode, it must be switched over on-site using the ZTH-EU or PC tool. The analogue interface can be adjusted for the signal voltage range 0 – 10V DC or 2 – 10 V DC using PC tool. 
The assignment of the volume flow rate setpoint value or actual value for voltage signals is shown in the characteristic curves. In hybrid mode, an analogue control input signal with digital feedback as per the bus interface list is possible.

 

Analogue hybrid mode

  • With analogue setpoint value setting via cable wire 3 and analogue feedback via cable wire 5, it is nevertheless possible to have feedback via BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU.
  • Override controls qvmin, qvmax, damper blade in the OPEN position or damper blade CLOSED possible via bus interface.
  • Various operating parameters as per the bus interface list can be called up via BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU.

 

Setpoint value setting

Variable operation

  • In the variable operating mode, setpoint values are set using an analogue signal at cable wire 3. Setpoint value settings via the respective bus system are rejected.
  • The selected signal voltage range 0 – 10V or 2 – 10V DC is assigned to the volume flow rate range qvmin – qvmax set.
  • Volume flow rate range qvmin – qvmax pre-set in the factory according to the order code entries.
  • Subsequent adjustment of qvmin or qvmax possible via service tool ZTH-EU or PC tool.

 

Constant value mode

  • In the constant value mode operating mode, an analogue signal is not required at cable wire 3.
  • The volume flow rate constant value set by qvminis regulated. 
  • Volume flow rate qvmin is pre-set in the factory according to the order code entry.
  • Subsequent adjustment of qvminpossible via service tool ZTH-EU or PC tool.

 

Actual value as feedback for monitoring or tracking control

  • The actual volume flow rate measured by the controller can be tapped as a voltage signal at cable wire 5. 
  • The selected signal voltage range 0 – 10V DC or 2 – 10V DC is shown in the volume flow rate range 0 – qvnom .
  • In analogue mode there is also the option of querying operating data using the Modbus interface.

 

Override control

For special operating situations, the volume flow controller can be put in a special operating mode (override control). The following are possible: control qvmin, control qvmax, damper blade in the OPEN position or damper blade CLOSED.

 

Override controls via signal input Y
Thanks to appropriate wiring on the signal input Y, the override controls can be activated according to the connection diagrams via wiring with external switch contacts / relays (see wiring examples). OPEN and CLOSED are only available if the controller is supplied with alternating current (AC).

 

Override control CLOSED via control signal on control signal Y

  • With signal voltage range 0 – 10V DC: CLOSED is activated when qvmin = 0 set and  control signal Y < 0.5V DC.
  • with signal voltage range 2 – 10 V DC: CLOSED is activated when control signal is Y < 2.4 V (*1) DC.

 

Override controls in analogue mode via Modbus interface

If the Modbus interface is additionally connected in analogue mode, an override control can also be specified via Modbus register 1.
 

Override control for diagnostic purposes
Activation via service tools ZTH-EU or PC tool
 

Prioritisation of various setting options

  • Settings for override controls via analogue are prioritised over Modbus/BACnet settings.
  • Highest priority: setting via an analogue override control 
  • Medium priority: settings via the service connector (adjustment device, PC software) for test purposes
  • Lowest priority: setting via Modbus/BACnet/MP bus

Product details bus operation


Bus operation

The controller is supplied from the factory with operating mode Modbus-RTU. The operating mode can be switched to BACnet, MP bus or analogue at any time using the service tool ZTH-EU. For a smooth exchange of data in the bus network provided by others, the communication parameters and the user address for the bus interface are required. The communication parameters for the bus systems (address, baud rate etc.) can be set using the ZTH-EU. The interface provides standardised bus register/object access to the available data points.


 


Setpoint value default setting

  • In the operating mode Modbus RTU (factory setting), the setpoint value is only set by specifying the volume flow rate set point value [%] in the Modbus register 0.
  • The transferred percentage value refers to the volume flow rate range specified by qvmin  –  qvmax
  • Volume flow rate range qvmin –  qvmax preset at the factory according to the order code
  • Subsequent adjustment of qvmin  or qvmax possible using service tool ZTH-EU or Modbus/BACnet interface.


 


Actual value as feedback for monitoring or tracking control

  • The actual values can be read off in m³/h (factory setting) in both Modbus and BACnet.
    • Other units such as m³/s, l/s, l/min, l/h, gpm, cfm possible
  • In addition to the volume flow rate actual value, further information on other Modbus registers/BACnet objects can be read out.
    • Overview of the registers/objects in the communication tables
  • For diagnostic purposes, the volume flow rate actual value can be tapped at cable wire 5 in bus mode
    The volume flow rate range 0 – qvNom always corresponds to the signal voltage range of (0)2 – 10 V DC


 


Override control



For special operating situations, the volume flow controller can be put in a special operating mode (override control). The following modes are possible: control Pvmin, control qvmax, damper blade in the OPEN position or damper blade CLOSED.




 


Override control via the bus



This is set via the Modbus register 1 or via BACnet object type MO[1].




 


Override control via bus timeout monitoring (Modbus)



If the Modbus communication fails for a stipulated time period, a pre-defined operating mode qvmin, qvmax, OPEN or CLOSED can be activated.

  • The override control to be activated upon bus timeout is specified via Modbus register 108
  • The time period after which override control is activated upon bus timeout is specified via Modbus register 109
  • Each Modbus communication resets the timeout of the bus timeout monitoring



 


Override control via bus timeout monitoring (BACnet)

If the BACnet communication fails for a specified period, a predefined operating state can be activated.



  • The setpoint value to be activated upon bus timeout is specified via Relinquish_Default from SpRel (object AO1)
  • Bus timeout period is defined via BusWatchdog (object type AV [130])
  • Communication on the data points SpRel (Object AO[1] and Override (Object MO[1])


 


Override controls for diagnostic purposes

Activation via bus system, external/on-site switch contacts, ZTH-EU or PC software.


 


Prioritisation of various setting options



Settings for override controls via analogue are prioritised over Modbus/BACnet settings.

  • Highest priority: setting via an analogue override control 
  • Medium priority: settings via the service connector (adjustment device, PC software) for test purposes
  • Lowest priority: setting via Modbus/BACnet/MP-Bus
