Communicated request
A building automation system or peer controller may communicate the
heating or cooling mode to the controller via network variables nviHeat-
Cool and/or nviApplicMode. Heating mode commands the controller to
heat only. Cooling mode commands the controller to cool only. The Auto
mode allows the controller to automatically change from heating to cool-
ing or vice versa. See Table 71 on page 101 for more information.
Table 15 shows space temperature control based on communicated
request. Enabled means normal operation; disabled means that the con-
troller cannot use the request.
