Heating or cooling control mode operation
The heating or cooling control mode of the controller can be determined in
two ways:
• Communicated request
• Automatically by the controller
Communicated request
A building automation system or peer controller may communicate the heating
or cooling mode to the controller via network variable nviApplicMode. Heating
mode commands the controller to heat only. Cooling mode commands the
controller to cool only. The Auto mode allows the controller to automatically
change from heating to cooling or cooling to heating. See Appendix Table 63
Constant volume discharge air temperature control
and variable air volume
operation based on the effective heat/cool output
.
Automatically by the controller
A communicated request of Auto or the controller's default operation (Auto)
can place the unit into cooling mode. A zone temperature input is required for
constant volume discharge air control when auto heat/cool changeover is
desired. When the controller automatically determines the heating or cooling
mode using auto mode, the unit switches to the desired mode based on the
control algorithm and the relationship between zone temperature to the
configured daytime warm up start and stop setpoints. See daytime warm up in
configuration section of this manual.
When the controller first powers up or after a reset, it makes an initial
determination if the discharge air control mode should be heating or cooling.
The discharge demand for a cooling-only unit is always cooling. The discharge
demand for a heating only unit is always heating. A unit that can heat or cool
initially starts in cooling mode.
