Active HWT controller
The controller that is responsible for hot water production.
Active weather controller
The controller that is used for weather compensation in the cascade system. One controller is reponsible for weather compensation, even if the controller is in an alarm state it will still control the weather compensation valves etc.
Boiler load index
The load index, shows how much the system is loaded. The load index is ranging between 0% and 100%, when it reaches above Max. load index reducing power or below Min. load index reducing power a controller is started or stopped respectively.
Cascade activated
If the cascade is disabled, no communication with the boilers will take place. However any boilers that are stopped by cascade, will be changed to an ordinary stop. Data will still be collected, even if the cascade is disabled.
Consumption index
The consumption index express the consumption relative to the other controllers in the system. A boiler with the lowest consumption index, is the highest priority controller, and is first choice if a boiler should be started. A boiler with the highest consumption indexs is the lowest priority controller, and is the last boiler to be started.
Delay at falling power
When it is detected that a new controller must be stopped due to falling total power, then the cascade system wait this specified time, before the controller is stopped. If the power raises in the mean time, the stop of the controller is canceled.
Delay at raising power
When it is detected that a new controller must be started due to raising total power, then the cascade system wait this specified time, before the controller is started. If the power falls in the mean time, the start of the controller is canceled.
External hopper content limit
The content limit for the external hopper. If the external hopper content drops below this value a service alarm is triggered
Internet connection index
An index value that describes how much a controller has been online. Can help troubleshooting a poor Internet router/switch or other malfunctioning network equipment.
Max. load increasing power
The maximum boiler load index, if the load index increases above this point, a boiler is started, after a configured delay, unless all boilers are already started.
Min. load reducing power
The minimum boiler load index, if the load index decreases below this point, a boiler is stopped, after a configured delay, unless only one boiler is started.
Network connection timeout
The timeout from a controller looses the connection to the Internet until its considered unreachable and priorities are recalculated.
Priority update every
The time in hours, between a calculation of priorities and the next priority calculation. If any conditions are changed, like a boiler has entered the alarm state, the time is overruled.
