Danfoss Metasys N2 Programming Guide

Examples 1 and 2 illustrate the dierence between the 2:
Example 1 – Multi-zone, single setpoint
In an oce building, a VAV (variable air volume) VLT
®
HVAC Drive system must ensure a minimum pressure at
selected VAV boxes. Due to the varying pressure losses in
each duct, the pressure at each VAV box cannot be
assumed to be the same. The minimum pressure required
is the same for all VAV boxes. This control method can be
set up by setting parameter 20-20 Feedback Function to [3]
Minimum, and entering the desired pressure in
parameter 20-21 Setpoint 1. If any feedback is below the
setpoint, the PID controller increases the fan speed. If all
feedbacks are above the setpoint, the PID controller
decreases the fan speed.

Illustration 3.48 Example, Multi-zone, Single Setpoint
Example 2 – Multi-zone, multi-setpoint
The previous example illustrates the use of multi-zone,
multi-setpoint control. If the zones require dierent
pressures for each VAV box, each setpoint may be specied
in
•
Parameter 20-21 Setpoint 1.
•
Parameter 20-22 Setpoint 2.
•
Parameter 20-23 Setpoint 3.
By selecting [5] Multi-setpoint minimum in
parameter 20-20 Feedback Function, the PID controller
increases the fan speed if any one of the feedbacks is
below its setpoint. If all feedbacks are above their
individual setpoints, the PID controller decreases the fan
speed.

Setpoint 1 is used in closed-
loop mode to enter a setpoint
reference that is used by the
frequency converter’s PID
controller. See the description
of parameter 20-20 Feedback
Function.
