Function description

General

This function block corresponds to the block ‘CascadeExtractSupplyAirTemperature’, which is extended here by an additional cascade controller to form a separate supply air setpoint temperature for the cooler in active cooling operation.\

CascadeExtractSupplyAirTemperature

This function block is used to generate the supply air setpoint temperature of a ventilation system from \

1. Current setpoint temperature (exhaust air or room temperature) in °C\

2) Current actual temperature (exhaust air or room temperature) in °C taking into account the relative (*rMinSUPTemp* or *rMaxSUPTemp*) and absolute (**rMinSUP** or **rMaxSUP**) limits. In addition, the special operating modes ‘Fast Heating’ and ‘Free Night Cooling’ are taken into account when forming the supply air setpoint temperature. The formation of the supply air setpoint temperature is time-delayed (**tDelayControl**) after enabling/locking the controller (*xEn* = TRUE). The cascade controller is enabled if the following conditions described below are met simultaneously: 1) The special operating mode *Fast Heating* is locked (*xFastHeatEn* = FALSE). 2) The special operating mode *Free Night Cooling* is locked (*xFNCEn* = FALSE). 3) The current actual temperature *rActTemp* does not violate its absolute limits (+5.0 - +50.0 °C). 4) The control is enabled (*xEn* = TRUE) and the switch-on delay (duration = **tDelayControl**) has ended. In all other situations the cascade controller is locked.\

Control

The current actual temperature rActTemp is, with the cascade controller enabled (PI controller, xEn = TRUE, after the duration tDelayControl, no limit violation at the input rActTemp ) continuously compared with the current setpoint temperature rSetPtTemp and, depending on the magnitude/sign of the difference and on the controller settings ( rPI_Kp and rPI_Tn ) an offset temperature is generated in the cascade controller. In heating mode ( rActTemp < rSetPtTemp ) a positive offset temperature in the range 0.0 - rMaxRelativeSUP K is generated. In cooling mode ( rActTemp > rSetPtTemp ) a negative offset temperature in the range 0.0 - rMinRelativeSUP K is generated. In the fully regulated state ( rActTemp = rSetPtTemp ) the offset temperature does not change. This offset temperature is then added to the current setpoint temperature and, if necessary, limited to the calculated limits &#xNAN;rMinSUPTemp and rMaxSUPTemp At the output rMinSUPTemp the calculated minimum supply air setpoint temperature ( rActTemp + rMinRelativeSUP, absolutely limited to rMinSUP and rMaxSUP ) is continuously displayed. At the output rMaxSUPTemp the calculated maximum supply air setpoint temperature ( rActTemp + rMaxRelativeSUP, absolutely limited to rMinSUP and rMaxSUP ) is continuously displayed. The current actual temperature rActTemp is monitored for compliance with limits. For any limit violation ( rActTemp < +5.0 °C or rActTemp > +50.0 °C) the cascade controller is deactivated.\

Cascade controller for active cooling operation (PI controller)

This cascade controller is used to form the supply air setpoint temperature for a cooling device from \

1. Current setpoint temperature (maximum of ( rSetPtTemp + 1) and rSetPtTempCool )\

2) Current actual temperature (exhaust air or room temperature) in °C taking into account the following limits: Minimum value - output signal of the cascade controller: *rMinSUPTemP* - (maximum of (*rSetPtTemp* + 1) and *rSetPtTempCool*) Maximum value - output signal of the cascade controller: *rMaxSUPTemP* - (maximum of (*rSetPtTemp* + 1) and *rSetPtTempCool*) The formation of the supply air setpoint temperature takes place after enabling/locking the main cascade controller, provided the input *xEnCool* is active (= TRUE). The cascade controller for active cooling operation is enabled if the following conditions described below are met simultaneously: 1) The special operating mode *Fast Heating* is locked (*xFastHeatEn* = FALSE). 2) The special operating mode *Free Night Cooling* is locked (*xFNCEn* = FALSE). 3) The current actual temperature *rActTemp* does not violate its absolute limits (+5.0 - +50.0 °C). 4) The control is enabled (*xEn* = TRUE) and the switch-on delay (duration = **tDelayControl**) has ended. 5) The input *xEnCool* is enabled (*xEnCool* = TRUE). In all other situations the cascade controller for active cooling operation is locked.\

Control

The current actual temperature rActTemp with the cascade controller for active cooling operation enabled, is continuously compared with the current setpoint temperature (maximum of ( rSetPtTemp + 1) and rSetPtTempCool ) and, depending on the magnitude/sign of the difference and on the controller settings ( rPI_Kp and rPI_Tn ) an offset temperature for active cooling operation is generated in the cascade controller. In heating mode ( rActTemp < current setpoint temperature) a positive offset temperature is generated in the range 0.0 - minimum value - output signal of the cascade controller for active cooling operation K. In cooling mode ( rActTemp > current setpoint temperature) a negative offset temperature is generated in the range 0.0 - maximum value - output signal of the cascade controller for active cooling operation K. In the fully regulated state ( rActTemp = current setpoint temperature) the offset temperature does not change. This offset temperature is then added to the current setpoint temperature and, if necessary, limited to the calculated limits &#xNAN;rMinSUPTemp and rMaxSUPTemp The current actual temperature rActTemp is monitored for compliance with limits. For any limit violation ( rActTemp < +5.0 °C or rActTemp > +50.0 °C) the cascade controller is deactivated.\
