•
The cycle time is fixed at ten seconds
•
At a controller value of 0% the outputs are always O
FF
•
At a controller value of 100% the outputs are always O
N
•
The controller value, from 0 to 100%, is mapped into the duty cycle directly (i.e., 50% is 5
seconds O
N
and 5 seconds O
FF
, for a single output).
Heating Controller Limiting
Setup variable AV29 is used as a
heating controller limit
. A value of 0 to 100% entered into this
variable will limit the main heating controller accordingly, and by default is set to 100%.
By limiting the controller value itself you are able to limit the output staging, which may be used for
load limiting purposes. However, this limit is only applicable for heating, not cooling applications.

Tri-State uses a pair of outputs (always Outputs 1 and 2). Output 1 opens the device, and Output 2
closes the device. It is assumed that when neither output is on the device does not change position. The
Tri-State device has a runtime property, the time that it takes to go from fully open to fully closed. It is
assumed that the device will take as long to close as it does to open and that the open and close rate is
linear.
At start up the Tri-State algorithm establishes a closed position reference by closing continuously for
1.25 x the Run Time. It will also enter this state each time that it first receives a zero position valve. A
signal of 100% will cause the algorithm to open the device for 1.25 run times to establish an open
reference.
