Up to 7 boilers equipped with the Inicontrol 2 can be managed in cascade
with the Diematic Evolution mounted in the master boiler. The system sen
sor is connected on the master boiler. All the boilers from the cascade are
connected by a S-BUS cable. The boilers are automatically numbered:
B
C
There are two options for cascade control management:
Adding supplementary boilers successively (traditional control).
Adding supplementary boilers simultaneously (parallel control).

A The master boiler is number 1.
B The first slave boiler is number 3 (number 2 does not exist).
C The second slave boiler is number 4; and so on.
1 First boiler starts running when system temperature is 3°C below
set point.
2 After 4 minutes the second boiler starts running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C below set point.
3 After 8 minutes the third boiler starts running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C below set point.
4 First boiler stops running when system temperature is 3°C above
set point.
5 After 4 minutes the second boiler stops running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C above set point.
6 After 8 minutes the third boiler stops running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C above set point.
1 All boilers in cascade start running when system temperature is
3°C below set point.
2 First boiler stops running when system temperature is 3°C above
set point.
3 After 4 minutes the second boiler stops running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C above set point.
4 After 8 minutes the third boiler stops running if ΔT< 6K and the
system temperature is still more than 3°C above set point.
