9.3 WHM PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The WHM system communicates with the plant water heaters via a RS485 network utilizing
Modbus RTU protocol (8 bit, 9600 baud, no parity). All Modbus networks are implemented using
a Master/Slave scenario where only one device, the Master, can initiate a communication
sequence. All other C-More equipped units on the network are called Slaves. However, since
the WHM software code resides in each C-More that is part of the system, any one of the C-
Mores can be selected to control the system.
The controlling Master monitors the Air/Fuel Valve position (VP) of all enabled units. When this
valve position (% open) exceeds a user-selectable limit (WHM Nxt On VP), the WHM will open
the sequencing valve of another water heater in the system. Conversely, when the valve
positions of all enabled units have dropped below a different user-selectable limit (WHM Nxt Off
VP) threshold, the WHM will close the sequencing valve on a unit. The philosophy behind this
approach is to maintain the fire rates (Air/Fuel Valve % open) at a level that maximizes heater
efficiency.
In addition to collecting Air/Fuel Valve position data, the controlling Master also monitors the
total accumulated operating time for each unit on the system and attempts to balance the
system so that all units operate for approximately the same number of hours.
9.4 WHM MENU
The WHM Menu in each C-More can only be viewed when the
Unit Type
option in the
Configuration Menu is set to
Innovation WH
. The WHM Menu contains only ten (10) user-
selectable menu options. In addition, these menu options are listed in Table 9-1. Descriptions
for each menu item are included in Appendix A.
NOTE
In addition to the WHM Menu items listed in Table 9-1, the Setup Menu
contains a
Comm Address
option which must be entered for each unit to
enable WHM control of the system.
