This control is specially designed to control a heating system. It is intended for interaction with temperature controller controls. The heating control links all heating requests from linked temperature controllers and switches the heating on/off accordingly.
It also provides a switch with which heating can generally be switched on/off.
Id #
The Id field shows the internal number of the control and its type. The number is for display purposes only and is determined automatically by the system. The control type cannot be changed subsequently.
Name #
The name of the control. The name is displayed in selection lists and for most control types also directly to the user as a label.
Comment #
The comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the control, comments, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.
Options/Customize #
Timer: If the control supports timers, the timer can be activated with the checkbox.
Widget size: Sets the size of the tile for the control in the widget/tile view. If the combo box is empty, a standard size is used for the control type, which provides a good display in most application scenarios.
Further options: Opens a dialog in which additional, rarely required settings can be made (timer lock, overwrite colors).
Functions #
| Channel | Function |
|---|---|
| On/Off command | Channel that switches the heating on/off |
| On/Off status | Channel from which the on/off status of the heating is read |
| Allow/Disallow command | Channel that is switched when the user generally switches the heating on/off |
| Allow/prohibit status | Channel from which it is read whether heating is permitted/prohibited |
| Heating/cooling status | Channel that indicates whether the heating is currently in “Cooling” mode (optional) |
Heating/cooling changeover #
If the “Heating/cooling status” function is not connected, it is assumed that it is a normal heating system without a cooling function. If the “Heating/cooling status” channel is connected, the channel determines whether heating or cooling takes place (true = cooling, false = heating).
If the heating is switched to “Cooling” mode, the function of all temperature controllers connected to this heating is reversed, i.e. they send an operating request to the heating if the setpoint temperature is exceeded.
The heating/cooling switchover must be controlled via a separate control/external (e.g. button in the house).
