7.11.1 Limitation using pulse input
Depending on the operating situation, a heat meter with pulse output connected to input
WMZ/Bed (terminals 17/19) can be used to limit either the flow rate or the capacity in the
system. All limit values are given in the unit “pulses per hour“ [pulse/h]. As a result, the con-
troller does not distinguish between a flow rate pulse signal or a capacity pulse signal. As
the displayed current pulse rate P [pulse/h] (–> Extended operating level, key number 1999)
is calculated depending on the interval between the received pulses, it is natural that the con-
troller cannot react immediately to all rapid flow rate or capacity changes which occur in the
system.
When the pulse rate reaches the current
Max. limit value
, the flow set point of control cir-
cuit Rk1 is reduced. How strongly the controller responds is determined by the
Limiting fac-
tor
.
Example to determine the limit value:
If a capacity of 30 kW is to be limited, the following limit value must be set for a heat meter
with an output of one pulse per kilowatt-hour:
P
30 kW
1KWh/pulse
30 pulse / h==
Note: If CO5 -> F00 - 1 is indicated, access to the return flow, flow rate and heat capacity
settings are locked.
