12 Function block "Boiler"
Function block "Boiler" acts as a 2-position controller and is used for direct burner con-
trol. Depending on the type of plant, it acts as a:
•
boiler temperature controller for weather-compensated control of a space heating sys-
tem (plant type 2–x)
•
boiler temperature controller for demand-compensated control of a main flow (plant
type 5–x)

12.2 Operating mode
The boiler’s operating mode for situations when there is no demand for heat (e.g. due
to the ECO function),can be selected: 3 operating modes are available:
•
With manual shutdown: The boiler will be shut down when there is no demand for heat
and operating mode standby is selected (setting 0 on operating line 91)
•
With automatic shutdown: The boiler will be shut down when there is no demand for
heat, irrespective of the selected operating mode (setting 1 on operating line 91)
Boiler operating modes, when there is no demand for heat:

ing mode

NORMAL

With plant types 5–x, it is not possible to select all operating modes (refer to section
“3.7 Plant type and operating mode").
When there is demand for heat, the boiler always supplies heat, which means that the
boiler's operating mode in that case is always ON.
12.3 Limitations
12.3.1
Maximum limitation of the boiler temperature
For maximum limitation of the boiler temperature, the maximum limit value can be ad-
justed. The switch-off point cannot exceed the maximum limit value. The switch-on
point will then be lower by the amount of the set switching differential.
If the return temperature is limited, the display shows .
This maximum limitation cannot be used as a safety function; for that purpose, thermo-
stats, thermal reset limit thermostats, etc., must be used.
