Operation with operator unit 2.2.1 Functions of the operator unit The operator unit is used to make all settings and readouts required for operating the controller. All entries made on the operator unit are transmitted to the controller where they are handled and stored; the operator unit itself does not store any data. Informa- tion for the user is generated by the controller and forwarded to the operator unit where it is displayed.

Commissioning Preparation for use and commissioning of Synco™ 700 controllers must be undertaken by qualified staff who have been appropriately trained by Siemens Building Technologies. Basic concept Using the RMK770 controller, boiler sequencing can include up to 6 boilers. When selecting a plant type, boiler sequencing with 2 boilers is predefined.
Page 20
RMK770 To integrate the third boiler, 2 choices are available: Variant with Since the RMK770 controller does not have a sufficient number of outputs, an exten- extension module sion module is required. Now, in the extra configuration, boiler 3 is assigned the boiler temperature sensor, the first burner stage, the boiler pump and the shutoff valve.
Page 21
Depending on the type of plant, it may be practical to use a second RMK770 controller Variant with a second RMK770 with the third boiler. On that second RMK770, select basic type K and – in the extra configuration – assign boiler 3 the plant components boiler temperature sensor, burner stage 1, boiler pump and shutoff valve.
Entering the commissioning mode During commissioning, the plant’s control and safety functions remain deactivated. The relays maintain their normal position, which means that their normally open contacts are open. When supplying power to the controller for the first time, the Language menu appears. Here, the language for commissioning and plant operation can be selected.

no more heat. Overrun is typically triggered by a boiler after the burner has shut down in order to prevent overtemperatures in the boiler. On the heat consumers, it can be selected if and to what extent they shall respond to the different load control signals.
To enable a mixing circuit to control its flow temperature to the setpoint, it requires a higher flow temperature on the inlet side. This elevated temperature can be adjusted separately for each mixing circuit. In the case of maintained boiler return temperature with mixing valve, this elevated temperature is not needed.

Main flow and main return temperature sensor TMnFl TMnFl TMnRt TMnRt Startup and part load operation (m < m Setback operation (m = 0) Usually, the main flow temperature TMnFl is a mixture of heating circuit return tempera- ture and boiler temperature. The level of mixing depends on the water volumes on the boiler and consumer side.
Boiler sequence management 6.3.1 Concept TBo2 TBo1 MnPu_A MnPu_B TMnFl TRtMx TMnRt TRtCo MnVlvRtMx With the signal received from the main flow temperature sensor, the boiler sequence manager controls the individual boilers or burner stages of the boiler sequence. It decides on the release of a boiler, predefines the boiler temperature setpoint for the boilers released and, in addition, releases the individual burner stages depending on heat demand.
6.3.2 Orders for boilers to be switched on and off As a general rule, the boilers are switched on in ascending order and switched off in descending order: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 However, various functions, settings and signals at the control inputs can impact this order.

Auto 1 Position 1 Auto Position 2 Boiler 1 Position 3 Boiler 2 Position 4 Boiler 3 Position 5 Boiler 4 Position 6 Boiler 5 Position 7 Boiler 6 Automatic boiler In Auto position, the lead boiler and the associated boiler sequence can do an auto- changeover matic changeover depending on the burner hours run of the lead boiler.
Page 80
To make certain that changeover to another lead boiler does not take place at an awkward point in time (e.g. on a weekend), the time of changeover (weekday, time of day) can be set. On completion of the period of time set (see settings above), the next boiler is selected as the lead boiler.

The available boiler operating modes are “Off“, “Summer operation“ and “Auto“. In “Off“ mode, the only heat requests considered are emergency requests (e.g. ”Frost prot request 2-position” at the heat request input). During “Summer operation“, the only heat requests accepted are those from DHW heating (digital input or via KNX bus).
On the basis of the plant’s layout, the number of boilers required for heat generation in Summer operation the summer are usually known (e.g. for DHW heating). If the “Summer operation“ state is active in the boiler sequence manager, the number of boilers released can be limited. Main menu >...

The moment an additional boiler is switched on, the flow temperature can drop for some time if the boiler was started up from “cold“. To prevent this undershoot from instantly switching on another boiler, a waiting time can be set before performance of the integral is started (TiDly, upward sequence delay).

The release logic for 2-stage burner operation aims at ensuring an optimum switch-on Burner stage 2 time for stage 2 which, in addition to a time criterion, also considers the amount of the heat deficit, calculated with a temperature-time integral. Time criterion As soon as the burner’s basic stage is switched on, the minimum locking time for burner stage 2 starts to run.
Owing to the performance of the temperature-time integral, it is not only the period of time that is considered, but also the extent of overshoot. This means that when the overshoot is significant, burner stage 2 is locked earlier. When the reset integral (area “b”...

When the demand for heat is small, the basic stage cycles. When the demand for heat increases, the 3-position output or a DC 0…10 V output is used to control the combus- tion air damper. At the same time, the amount of fuel supplied is also increased, typically via an addi- tional switch on the air damper, or by simultaneous control of the amount of fuel (gas / fuel ratio).

The proportional band has an impact on the controller’s proportional behavior. Proportional band Xp With a setpoint / actual value deviation of 20 K, a setting of Xp = 20 K produces a manipulated variable corresponding to the damper actuator’s running time. The integral action time has an impact on the controller’s integral behavior.
If the control’s response is too ”hefty” so that it overshoots or starts oscillating, setting Control action is parameters Xp, Tn and Tv must be increased in a stepwise fashion. A new readjust- too fast ment should be made only after the control action resulting from the previous readjust- ment is completed.
7.9.1 Maximum limitation of the boiler temperature This setting provides maximum limitation of the boiler temperature setpoint. For burner control, this value represents the switch-off point. In this range, the boiler’s switching differential is calculated downward. Maximum limitation of the boiler temperature is always active. The only exception is the wiring test.
In case of plants with mixing valve for the maintained boiler return temperature, the protective boiler startup function is provided by the mixing valve. In that case, no lock- ing signals for the protective boiler startup is generated. Boiler pump It can be selected whether or not the boiler pump shall be switched off when protective boiler startup is active (pump off).
Without boiler shutdown Using this setting, the boiler is always maintained at the minimum boiler temperature. When using this setting, the boiler is operated at the minimum boiler temperature Automatic boiler shutdown whenever there is a heat request from one of the heat consumers. When there is no heat request, the boiler temperature can drop below its minimum.

For that, the heating circuit must be switched on at an earlier point in time. If a room temperature sensor is connected, the controller calculates the forward shift depending on the current room temperature.
Room temperature If a room temperature sensor is connected, the actual value room temperature is used for aborting quick setback. If there is no sensor, the temperature of the room model is used to make the calcula- tion. In that case, the setback time depends on the outside temperature and the build- ing time constant.
