System-wide functions System-wide functions Automatic summer time/winter time changeover The clock is automatically adjusted on the last Sunday in March at 2.00h and on the last Sunday in October at 3.00h. Configuration Functions CO5 -> F08 - 1 Summer time/winter time changeover Frost protection Frost protection measures are taken when the outdoor temperature falls below the Frost pro- tection limit.
System-wide functions Forced operation of the pumps When the heating circuit pumps have not been activated for 24 hours, forced operation of the pumps is started between 12.02h and 12.03h. This is done to avoid that the pumps get stuck when they are not operated for a longer period of time. In the DHW circuit, the circula- tion pump is operated between 12.04h and 12.05h, the other pumps between 12.05h and 12.06h.
System-wide functions Note: The condensate accumulation control function can only be activated when no on/off control has been configured, i.e. when CO1, 2, 3, 4 -> F12 - 1 applies. Three-step control The flow temperature can be controlled using a PI algorithm. The valve reacts to pulses that the controller sends when a system deviation occurs.
System-wide functions Continuous control The flow temperature can be controlled using a PID algorithm. The valve receives an analog 0 to 10 V signal. When a system deviation occurs, the proportional component immediately causes the 0 to 10 V signal to change (the greater K , the greater the change).
System-wide functions Release controller at BE15 CO5 -> F15 - 1* *bE = 1, 0 7.10 Processing of external demand in Rk1 The controller can process binary or analog requests for an externally required signal by a more complex secondary system, provided the following requirements are met: the system is configured without solar system and an analog request can be assigned to “0 to 10 V corre- sponds with 0 to 120 °C flow temperature“.
System-wide functions Parameter level / Range of values Parameter Set point for binary demand processing 40 °C PA1 / 5 to 130 °C Processing of external demand with a 0 to 10 V signal Regardless of the operating mode set for control circuit Rk1– except manual mode –, at least the flow temperature corresponding with the 0 to 10 V signal connected to terminals 17/18 is regulated by the controller.
System-wide functions 7.11.1 Limitation using pulse input Depending on the operating situation, a heat meter with pulse output connected to input WMZ/Bed (terminals 17/19) can be used to limit either the flow rate or the capacity in the system. All limit values are given in the unit “pulses per hour“ [pulse/h]. As a result, the con- troller does not distinguish between a flow rate pulse signal or a capacity pulse signal.
System-wide functions 7.11.2 Limitation using 0/4 to 20 mA signal Depending on the operating situation, a heat meter at input WMZ/Bed (terminals 17/19) with a 0/4 to 20 mA output (connected in parallel to input WMZ/Bed using 50 Ω) can be used to limit the flow rate in the system.
System-wide functions Parameter level / Range of values Function Creep feed rate limitation CO5 -> F12 - 1 bE = 0, 1 7.11.4 Limitation of the calculated capacity The controller is able to calculate the heat capacity used in the system and to limit it depend- ing on the operational circumstances.
Using the device bus, it is possible to connect up to 32 device from the Series 55xx. For con- nection, the TROVIS 5579 Controller is, above all, equipped with the terminals 29/30. No attention must be paid to the polarity of the device bus wiring.

Operational faults Operational faults A sensor failure is indicated by the blinking icon on the display. In addition, the display is illuminated for 1 second in intervals of 10 seconds when a sensor malfunction persists. The “Error“ message is displayed immediately. Press the rotary pushbutton to open the error level.
Operational faults Sensor failure According to the error list, sensor failures are indicated by displaying “Err 1“ message in the error level. For detailed information, exit error level and view the different temperature val- ues in the operating level: each sensor icon displayed together with 3 horizontal lines instead of the measured value indicates a defective sensor.
Operational faults Configuration Functions Fault indication output BA13 CO5 -> F07 - 1 bA = 1, 0 Error status register The error status register is used to indicate controller or system errors. In modem operation mode when the controller connects to the building control system (GLT) both when an error is detected and when it has been corrected, each change in the status of the error status regis- ter causes the controller to dial the control system.
[Phone no. of the controller] Controller fault TROVIS 5579 # [controller ID of the faulty controller] The time stamp [Date], [Time] is added by the text messaging center, not by the controller. If an error message is transmitted over the device bus to a controller equipped with a dial-up modem, the controller ID of the faulty controller is sent, instead the controller ID of the “mo-...

Operational faults Note: The controller ID is indicated in the extended operating level under Info 2 (first value in the sequence). When Modbus is activated and, at the same time, the dial-up in case of error is released, the connection with the building control station is established first, and then the text message is sent.
Communication Communication Using the serial system bus interface, the TROVIS 5579 Heating and District Heating Control- ler can communicate with a building control system. In combination with a suitable software for process visualization and communication, a complete control system can be imple- mented.
Communication Note: Regardless of whether communication is established using a modem or data cable, the operating software can be updated using the serial system bus interface, provided Modbus has been activated (CO6 -> F01 - 1). RS-232 system bus interface When looking onto the controller front, the system bus connection is located on the left side inside the controller housing (RJ-45 jack).

Communication the control system in dynamic processes can be limited with regard to time using the Control system monitoring function. While valid Modbus requests are registered, the controller resets the time monitoring. Never- theless, after 30 minutes have elapsed, all level bits are re-initialized to “autonomous“ when an error has occurred.
CO6 -> F04 - 1 is activated. Meter bus interface With the help of an optional, retrofittable meter bus plug-in module, the TROVIS 5579 Heating and District Heating Controller can communicate with up to 6 heat and water meters according to EN 1434-3. A flow rate or capacity limitation is possible on the basis of the values measured at heat meter WMZ1.
Communication 9.4.1 Activating the meter bus To successfully transfer data from the heat meter to the controller, the heat meter must use a standardized protocol in accordance with EN 1434-3. It is not possible to make a general statement about which specific data can be accessed in each meter. For details on the differ- ent meter makes, refer to the technical documentation TV-SK 6311.
