12.2.3 - Operation of two units in master/slave
assembly
The customer must connect both units with a communication bus
in 0.75 mm² twisted, shielded cable (contact the manufacturer's
Service for the installation).
All parameters required for Master/Slave operation must be
configured by the Service configuration menu.
All remote controls of the Master/slave assembly (start/stop,
setpoint, load shedding, etc.) are managed by the unit configured
as the Master and must only be applied to the Master unit.
Units supplied with hydraulic module
Master/Slave operation is possible only when the units are installed
in parallel:
- The master-slave assembly is controlled on the water inlet
without any additional sensors (system return) (Example 1).
- This can also be done on the water outlet with the addition
of two additional sensors on the common pipe (see Example
2).
Each unit controls its own water pump.
Units supplied without hydraulic module
In the case of units installed in parallel, and if there is only one
common pump installed by the installer, isolating valves must be
installed on each unit. These should be controlled (opened and
closed) using the control for the relevant unit (valves for each unit
can be controlled using the unit water pump control outputs). Refer
to the control manual for the connections.
In this case, a variable-speed pump must be controlled by the unit
via the 0-10 V dedicated output of the Master unit (control on Delta
T° only).
An installation in series is only possible with a fixed speed pump
(See Example 3):
- The operation of the pump will be controlled by the Master
unit.
- The Master/Slave assembly is controlled on the water outlet
without additional sensor.
- The installation must be carried out only by following the
diagram provided in Example 3.
IMPORTANT:
Both of the units must be equipped with an option to allow
Master-Slave operation.
If one or both units is equipped with the variable-speed pump
option, it is strongly recommended not to set the control
mode on the pressure differential. The same setpoint is
recommended for configuring the temperature differential
mode.
