10 10 System description 6 System description 6.1 System diagram A PI controller (RE 1) controls the ventilation system. The setpoint value of the controller is organized in three sequences (cooling/recirculation/heating). A damper with limit switch is used in the exhaust air duct. The air supply is controlled using dampers and single-stage fans. In order to utilize the cooling of the recirculated air at high outside temperatures (T exterior > T recirculated ) and thus save cooling energy, the recirculated air dampers are switched to minimum fresh air, independent to the controller output. If an antifreeze sensor is applied in addition to the heating element, a second PI controller (RE 2) provides for the heating elements to maintain a minimum temperature. In addition to the antifreeze sensor, antifreeze protection is intended for the air and the water side. The air-side antifreeze protection is realized with the antifreeze sensor. A return line sensor is intended for the upstream antifreeze protection, providing the so-called preflush of the heater, depending on the outside temperature. This return line sensor also controls the water temperature in the return of the heater for a minimum reference value and generates a fault message when the risk of freezing is detected. Fig. 2: Wiring diagram of the ventilation system

11 System description Startup behavior of the ventilation system The overall function of the system is organized in individual function modules. A specific activation sequence must be adhered to in the startup. Two conditions usually require realization for the startup of a module: 1.) The central system enable signal must be present. 2.) The preceding module signals that it executes or has executed its function. This results in the following startup sequence schematically: 1st step Collective malfunction Switch on No fault 2nd step System start / stop Enable System 3rd step Pump heating elements Pump cooling elements Fan control Antifreeze protection water (preflush) Enable control 4th step Supply air control Set value Mixed air damper 5th step Mixed air damper Enable Damper 6th step Exhaust air damper

12 12 Program description 7 Program description Fig. 3 shows how the temperature measured by the resistor terminal (Pt 100) is converted to a REAL value. In addition, the application note demonstrates how the contactor monitoring can be bridged if the fan protector does not have an auxiliary contact. The selection modules (SEL) ensure that, in the simulation, the undefined measurement values of the analog and digital I/O modules are not used. Fig. 3: Contactor simulation + conversion Fig. 4 shows the program for the supply air control with recirculated air addition.the sub-program "SupplyAirControlWithRecirculationAir" provides the PLC variables to be gated directly with the inputs and outputs of the WAGO I/O system. Fig. 4: Supply air control with recirculated air addition program

13 Program description Collective malfunction The collective malfunction module evaluates all faults resulting in an enforced deactivation of the ventilation system. The faults are indicated visually and acoustically. In this application sample, the input "xenablesystem" is set to TRUE constantly. Therefore, the collective malfunctions are evaluated even when the system is turned off. Fig. 5: Evaluation of fault alarms Note All external fault alarms acquired via the digital inputs are "NC" and must be negated at the input of the function module. 7.2 Starting the ventilation system The start / stop module turns the ventilation system on or off. If the collective malfunction module indicates a severe system fault, the whole system is turned off, via the start / stop module. The selection between automatic and manual mode is usually realized via a rotary switch at the control cabinet. This rotary switch has the positions: Auto - Off Man. Fig. 6: Enabling the ventilation system Note In automatic mode, the ventilation system may be controlled using, e.g., a time switch program from "Scheduler.lib".

14 14 Program description 7.3 Antifreeze protection At low outside temperatures, the air-sided antifreeze protection may respond when the system is turned on. To avoid this, the heater is heated up via the upstream antifreeze protection, prior to opening the dampers and activating the fans. The following antifreeze functions are implemented in the sample project: Frost alarm when falling below a critical water temperature Minimum reference value control of the heater return temperature (also at system standstill) Time monitoring of the flushing process from the heater (if warm water is not available) Minimum valve opening at low outside temperatures (also at system standstill ) Enforced activation of the pumps at low outside temperatures Supply air temperature monitoring using an antifreeze sensor Minimum referemce value control of the supply air temperature (also at system standstill) Upstream antifreeze protection The upstream antifreeze protection serves as preventative antifreeze protection via the so-called preflush of the heater. If the outside temperature falls below a definable limit value, the heater is pre-flushed until the water temperature in the return exceeds 30 C. Upon conclusion of the preflush, the dampers are released. As an additional antifreeze protective function, the heater return temperature is limited to a minimum setpoint value of 15 C, independently from the system status. If the heater return temperature still falls below a definable limit value, a frost alarm will be output. Fig. 7: Upstream antifreeze protection with integrated start operation. Note If no return sensor is used, the preflush is time-controlled. Upon conclusion of the preflush, the set value is reduced by the heater valve within 10 minutes from 50 % to 0 %.

15 Program description Antifreeze control The antifreeze controller provides for the supply air temperature to be limited to a minimum reference value, even at a deactivated system. For this, an antifreeze sensor is mounted after the heater in the system. Fig. 8: Antifreeze controller Air-side antifreeze protection In standard operation, the air-side antifreeze protection determines the set value of the heater valve using a MAX-selection. When the supply air is below the set temperature of the antifreeze sensor, a frost alarm is triggered and the heater valve is opened completely. Fig. 9: Air-side antifreeze protection 7.4 Fan control The fan control monitors the fault free function of the fans using motor circuit breakers, repair switches, contactor monitoring and differential pressure switches. When the ventilation system is turned on, the fans can be turned on timedelayed using a start time delay. This delay time may be required for a possible start at reduced load. Note Whether the supply air or the exhaust air fan starts first depends on whether a momentary over-pressure or low-air pressure is tolerated during the system start.

16 16 Program description Fig. 10: Supply and exhaust air fan control 7.5 Supply air control The supply air controller is only activated when the preflush of the heater is concluded. The supply air temperature is controlled using a controller with PI behavior and is split at the output to three sequences (cooling/recirculated air/heating). A neutral zone of 5 % is designed between cooling, recirculation and heating demand. The setting range of the mixed air damper is limited by the minimum fresh air portion. Fig. 11: Supply air control with three sequences for cooling/recirculation/heating

17 Program description Damper control Mixed air damper The mixed air damper control controls the mixed air damper in dependence to the set value of the supply air controller. In addition, the mixed air damper control provides the release of the exhaust air damper Exhaust air damper Fig. 12: Activation of the mixed air damper The damper control monitors the exhaust air damper function over the operating time. The limit switches will return a corresponding signal when the damper is wholly opened. Fig. 13: Control of the exhaust air damper

18 18 Program description 7.7 Pump control The pump control provides for a demand-driven activation of the pump. In the case of extended standstill times of the pump, the implemented block protection provides for the actuation of the pump for a short time. The fault-free operation of the pump is monitored by the motor circuit breaker and the repair switch. When a frost alarm is reported or when the external temperature falls below a defined limit value, the pump for the heater will be turned on automatically. 7.8 Filter monitoring Fig. 14: Control pump heating and cooling elements A differential pressure sensor monitors the filters for clogging. The module reacts time-delayed to the differential pressure sensor, to avoid for any pressure fluctuation within the air duct to trigger a maintenance request of the filter. Fig. 15: Filter monitoring

19 Visualization interface 19 8 Visualization interface Note The font "Arial, Standard, 9" was used in the CoDeSys editor for the Supply air control with recirculation air addition" subprogram. Fig. 16: Visualization interface of the ventilation system The above described visualization interface displays the state of the ventilation system. In addition, there is the possibility to simulate the system in the PC. For this, the checkmark for "Simulation" must be set in the WAGO I/O PRO CAA under "Online". Subsequently, the measuring values and switch conditions can be modified in the online mode. The "Simulation" button permits to assign valid start values to the system. Note The visualization elements are stored in the "Building_HVAC_01" library and opened via the "Visualization" button. The visualization elements are linked to the corresponding function modules via wildcards.
