Figure 14: State machine for radiator heating application.
An integration with the AHU controller when MIXIT is configured with the radiator heating application is
shown in Figure 15. In comparison to the heating coil application the flags in the field bus profile signaling
frost, and the build in preheat and frost detection functions cannot be used. BACnet objects are used in the
example but the corresponding Modbus registers are listed in Table 6.
It is up to the BMS integrator to figure out when preheat is sufficient. Please remember that the return
temperature sensor is integrated in the shunt, so if using this datapoint from MIXIT to detect the preheat,
the water temperature towards the coil must be less than the water supply temperature to MIXIT, otherwise
there is no shunt flow, and the instantaneous return temperature measured at the sensor in shunt is not
correct in this case. If using the heating coil application with the build in preheat function this problem is
taken care of by MIXIT.
