Valve Failure, Force Mode & Master vs. Normal

Valve Failure

If a valve failure occurs, the board fails that stage and then continues 

to the next available stage. This is to make sure that if there is a call for 

heat, heat is being supplied. A valve failure consists of either a valve 

no detect or a proof of flame fail. Here is what valve failures look like 

for each configuration:

1V1IGN1S / 2V1IGN1S

:  If the modulating valve fails, 

Heat 1 Relay is turned off and the board then moves to the fixed 

stages (if available). If the valve fails when there is first a call for 

heat, then the first fixed stage will come on immediately. Every 

ignition retry period (set in the hidden configurations menu), the 

board will re-attempt to detect the valve(s) and retry the ignition 

process. 

2V2IGN2S

:  If the first stage (the first modulating valve) fails 

when there is first a call for heat, Heat Relay 1 is turned off and 

the board immediately moves to the second stage (the second 

modulating valve).  If the first stage fails when the board is in 

MODULATE_MODE, then normal board operation continues.   

If the second stage fails, Heat Relay 2 is turned off and the board 

continues normal operation and moves to the fixed stages next. 

Every ignition retry period (set in the hidden configurations 

menu), the board will re-attempt to detect the valve(s) and retry 

the ignition process. 

Force Mode

This mode is used to test that the valve firing sequence is functioning.  

This mode is NOT meant to replace heating mode by any means.  There 

is no staging in this mode, and there is no PID Loop running in this mode. 

Once a stage is forced on through the Force Screen, the board will enter 

Force Mode and will not leave this mode until all the stages that were 

forced on have been turned off or 10 minutes pass with no user input to 

the board.  Here is what force mode looks like for each configuration:

1V1IGN1S

:  Forcing stage 1 forces Heat Relay 1 on, and  

then the next screen allows the option to decide the modulation  

percentage for the valve. Forcing stages 2-4 on forces Heat 

Relays 2-4 on, respectively. 

2V2IGN2S

:  Forcing stage 1 & 2 on forces Heat Relays 1 & 

2 on, respectively, and the screens following each force screen 

allow you to select the percent modulation for each valve. The 

valves are able to modulate at different percentages, but keep in 

mind that bringing one below the low speed cutoff and another 

above it will cause low speed relay difficulties. Forcing stages 

2-4 on forces Heat Relays 2-4 on, respectively.

2V1IGN1S

:  Forcing stage 1 on forces Heat Relay 1 on,  

and the next screen allows the option to select the modulation  

percentage (since both valves are one stage, they both  

modulate at the same percentage). Forcing stages 2-4 on  

forces Heat Relays 2-4 on, respectively.

2V2IGN1S

:  Forcing stage 1 on forces Heat 1 & 2 on, and the 

screens following allow you to select the modulation percentage 

for the respective valve. Even though both valves are considered 

one stage, since they operate on separate relays, the option to 

modulate them at different percentages is available. Keep in 

mind that bringing one below the low speed cutoff and the other 

above it will cause low speed relay difficulties. Forcing stages 

3-4 on force on Heat Relays 3-4, respectively.

Master vs. Normal

In order to help clarify operating modes, master and normal are used to 

denote two MODGAS-XWR2 boards that are communicating with one 

another (i.e. one board is a Modbus master and the other is a Modbus 

slave).  With one MODGAS-XWR2 board, the maximum number of 

modulating valves is 2, but with two boards the maximum is 4 (2 for 

each board).  In a master/normal operation, the secondary board is a 

slave board to the master board.  

To configure a master board, put the “S/A MODE” for the board 

to “FORCED” and put “OPERATION” to “MASTER” (both 

configurations found in the hidden screens).

To configure a slave, put “OPERATION” to “NORMAL” (found 

in the hidden screens).

Here are the possible modulation configurations that can be used with 

a master/slave operation:

2V2IGN2S

:  In this configuration, both boards utilize both 

heat relays for a modulating gas valve.  Stage 1 is the valve  

attached to Heat 1 Relay for both boards, and stage 2 is the valve 

attached to Heat 2 Relay for both boards.  The valves on both 

boards are always modulated to the same position, and both 

boards stage up (i.e. turn on Heat 2 Relay) at the same time.  

2V1IGN1S

:  In this configuration, both boards utilize Heat 1 

Relay to turn on 2 modulating gas valves (a total of 4 for the two 

boards).  This means that each board has an open relay (Heat 2 

Relay) for an additional on board fixed stage.  The two valves 

on both boards (i.e. all of the 4 valves) are always at the same 

modulation position.  The first stage up (i.e. stage 2) will flip 

on the Heat 2 Relay on the master board, and the second stage 

up (i.e. stage 3) will flip on the Heat 2 Relay on the secondary 

board.
