VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat PWM cycle 6.3.1 Basic principle The 50% control variable is converted into switch-on/switch-off cycles in order to achieve a heating output of 50%. The actuator is switched on for 50% of the time and switched off for 50% of the time over a fixed period (10 minutes in our example).
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.3.2 Response to changes in the control variable Every change in the control variable is immediately transferred to the PWM cycle in order to respond to changes in the quickest possible time.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.4 Operating mode scene 6.4.1 Principle The current operating mode can be saved with the scene functions and restored later at any time. The current operating mode is allocated to the appropriate scene number when a scene is saved.

VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.6 Setpoint value adjustment The setpoint adjustment enables a dynamic adjustment of the setpoint to the outdoor temperature when cooling. This function prevents too great a temperature deviation between the outside area and the cooled interior with high outside temperatures.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.6.1 Format of setpoint adjustment: Relative Setpoint adjustment is sent from object 2 as a temperature differential. Under the setpoint adjustment threshold (setpoint adjustment from) the value 0 is sent. If the set point value threshold is exceeded, the set point value is increased each time by 1 K if the outdoor temperature has risen above the configured value (adjustment).

VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.6.2 Format of setpoint adjustment: Absolute Object 2 sends the adjusted setpoint value to the bus for additional room thermostat. This setpoint value consists of: Unadjusted base setpoint + dead zone + adjustment.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.7 Temperature control 6.7.1 Introduction If the VARIA is not configured as a switching controller, it can alternatively be configured as a P or as a PI controller, whereby PI control is preferable.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.7.2 Response of the P-control Max. 4l/Min. Set point value Bandwidth Actual value Losses 1l/Min A filling volume of 15l gives rise to a control deviation of 211 – 151 = 61 As our actual value lies outside the bandwidth, the control will operate the flow rate at 100% i.e.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat P-control as temperature control The P-control response during heating control is as shown in the previous example. The setpoint temperature (21°C) can never quite be reached. The permanent control deviation increases as the heat loss increases and decreases as the ambient temperature decreases.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.8 Continuous and switching control A switching (2 point) control recognises only 2 statuses, On or Off. A continuous control works with a control variable between 0% and 100% and can thus exactly measure out the energy input.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.9.2 Positive hysteresis Heating lasts until the temperature reaches "setpoint value + hysteresis " threshold has been achieved. The heating is only switched on again when the temperature falls below the setpoint value.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.10.2 Case 2: Heating with 2-point control and cooling with continuous control Cooling setpoint value 25 ºC DEAD ZONE 4 K Heating hysteresis 1 K Heating setpoint value 20 °C The dead zone (4 K) is increased by the value of the hysteresis (1K) and offsets the cooling setpoint value to 25 °C.

VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.12.2 Setpoint temperature offset via object 1 In this case, the setpoint value is changed by sending the desired offset to object 1. This involves the differential to the base setpoint value (may be preceded by a minus sign) being sent to object 1 in EIS5 format.
VARIA 826 S KNX Multi-functional display with room thermostat 6.13 Base setpoint value and current setpoint value The base setpoint value is the standard temperature for the comfort mode and the reference temperature for reduction in standby and night modes.
