Function
The RWF40... provides the following functions:
- One digital PID controller with a 3-position or analog output (optional)
- To control 2-stage burners, the RWF40... can be switched over to provide 2-
position control
- Automatic thermostat (or pressurestat) function in low-fire operation
- One shift controller for weather-dependent setpoint shifting
- One minimum limiter and one maximum limiter for the boiler temperature or the
boiler pressure
- One limit thermostat to DIN 3440 (output 1)
- One potential-free configurable contact
- Manual operating mode
- Communication via serial port (option)
- Self-setting function

Function of the controller when used for burner control
In low-fire operation, the RWF40... operates like a control thermostat or pressurestat.
This means that it operates as a 2-position controller maintaining the required setpoint
by switching the burner on and off. The switching differential for 2-position operation
can be adjusted within a wide range. If the demand for heat increases, the controller
switches to high-fire operation only when an adjustable limit is exceeded. This function
is aimed at optimizing the burner´s switching ratio.
In that case, the RWF40... operates as a 2-position controller with adjustable switching
thresholds. Using the relays of the 3-position output, the RWF40... drives the actuator
to the 1
st
and 2
nd
output stage. In this operating mode, the optional analog output
switches between the minimum signal for the 1
st
stage and the maximum output signal
for the 2
nd
stage.
