The following list includes all data points that can be read and written from a BACnet primary plant. The items ensure coordination between primary plant and the room. In addition, appropriate Desigo primary application for the given room function is mentioned.

Data point name

Description

Desigo primary application

HReq

The central function prepares one hot water demand acquisition and evaluation to the connected rooms for the primary plant. The enumerated result can include:

1:Off
2:Heating demand
3:Warm-up

HwTOa

BACnet reference for primary plant: Outside temperature of the hot water supply chain

Data point outside temperature of hot water supply chain

Setpoint for heating request.

Setpoint for heating request influenced by:

  • Base setpoint for heating
  • Valve position(s) of heating valve in the group

Heating curve based on outside air

Each DXR2 room automation station calculates heating and cooling demand and makes the results available via a group of the central function to the hot water supply chain.

The hot water demand setpoint is calculated in the central function using a heating curve based on the outside temperature.

Deactivate sequences

The central function can disable the hot water equipment in the rooms based on outside temperature. The heating sequences in the group are locked as soon as the configured value for the outside temperature is reached.

Valve protection

Valve actuators are operated from time to time to prevent them from seizing after long periods of inactivity (e.g. heating valve during the summer). The valve actuator is controlled to lose as little heating energy as possible.

The central function for the hot water supply chain performs the valve protection function and can be changed in the parameters as needed.
