functions
= Entry of all solar func-
tions in the function list
Special features:
In this function blocks, the "involved functions" are not individual values, but rather entire func-
tion module input variables.
The program automatically looks for all of the values needed in the function modules involved
and also automatically blocks the modules involved that are lower in the hierarchy.

SEC. TIMER:
from prim. stage 2
SOLAR 1 and 4 are loaded as "absolute" without time element
Solar rad: 488 W/m²
Current solar radiation (does not apply without radiation sensor)
Thres val: 200 W/m²
Activation threshold for timer (does not apply without radiation
sensor)
Runtime: 20 Min
Runtime for the consumer of lower priority until timer starts
delay time: 5 Min
The collector must reach the temperature of the priority cylinder
within five minutes; otherwise, the cylinder of lower priority will be
charged
As this example makes clear, it is also possible to assign the same priority. Generally, this approach
is only useful if the system has multiple collector fields. The priorities in the example correspond to the
system with two collector fields charging three consumers (such as Solar 1 = collector 1 for cylinder 1
and Solar 2 = collector 1 for cylinder 2, etc.).
SOLAR 1 and SOLAR 4 are admissible first as the lower priority time element is only active starting at
priority level 2 until the consumer has reached its maximum temperature (absolute). Only then does
the priority treatment shift to the other solar functions via the priority timer (relative).
