Inputs and Outputs
When the communicated airflow setpoint is invalid, either the flow sensor has failed or
calibration has failed, and the controller closes the air valve if the configured airflow
tracking offset is negative. If the configured airflow tracking offset is positive, the
controller opens the air valve to the configured maximum airflow.
Once a valid differential pressure is established through the local hardwired input and
then is no longer present, the controller generates a flow sensor failure diagnostic.
