2.7.1 Default Device Object Instance Number The Default Device Object Instance Number for the MIXIT unit is 227005. You can change the number via Grundfos GO Remote. 2.7.2 Custom Device Object Instance Number The custom device instance number can be activated using Grundfos GO Remote and change it via AV,0.
3. BACnet MS/TP Setup 3.1 BACnet bus topology BACnet MS/TP is a multi-master system, meaning that there can be more than one master on the network. It uses a token to control access to the bus network. A master node may initiate the transmission of a data telegram when it holds the token. Both master and slave nodes may transmit data telegrams in response to requests from master nodes, but slaves never hold the token.
The MIXIT unit offers two different approaches to setting the BACnet Device Object Instance Number: default and custom. The default BACnet Device Object Instance Number is 227005. The use of custom can be enabled in Grundfos GO Remote and customised via...

Object name Access Description Adjusts the slope of the configured heat curve (Min: 0.4, Max: 2). AV,5 Config Heat curve slope (+/-) [-] 1 equals the configured heat curve and 1.5 equals the configured slope multiplied by 1.5. Fall back temperature setpoint in case setpoint signal from bus or sensor is lost. Default: 40 °C (Heating), 15 °C (Cooling).
MIXIT can operate in three different thermal application modes as shown in below table – Heating, Cooling and Combined Heating & Cooling. The Thermal Application Mode must be configured via Grundfos GO. In Cooling and when Cooling is the active mode in combined Heating &...

Outdoor temperature compensation is set by the means of a five-point temperature curve. The five data pairs (T ,) defining the heat curve can only be set in Grundfos GO. The fieldbus provides data points for offsetting (AV,4) and changing the slope flow (AV,5) of the heat curve.
The maximum flow temperature can be configured in Grundfos GO. Any temperature setpoint will be limited to a maximum of 5 °C below the configured Max flow temperature to have headroom for controlling the mixing temperature below the limit. The protection function is default enabled with a limit of 50°C when the underfloor heating application is chosen.
The return flow temperature is measured by the sensor in port B of MIXIT. To measure the air temperature, you will need to install a temperature sensor in the coil. The two limits can be configured in Grundfos as well as being enabled or disabled.

The configuration of two-/ three-way operation can only be made through the hydraulic configuration in GO. Similar, the valve orientation can only be changed on the local HMI or in Grundfos GO. The configuration of these elements are fundamental to the operation of MIXIT and therefore it is important to be present at the product when this configuration is made.
The gain of the closed-loop controller is too low. 1. Increase the proportional gain with Grundfos GO Remote with 10 % of the actual gain at a time until the response is satisfactory. Wait for several minutes between each increase.

10. Appendix: overview of pump control mode settings 10.1 Setting the duty point for constant-speed control mode This duty point is set via AV,9 (speed duty point). The duty point is a percentage of the maximum speed. In this control mode, the pump speed will be constant at the configured speed duty point.

10.4 Setting the duty point for constant-flow control mode The duty point is set via AV,8 (flow duty point). In this control mode, the pump flow will be constant. This control mode is recommended for heating coils. For pumps without a dedicated flow control function, the auxiliary control function flow limit is activated. For hydraulic circuits with a low hydraulic resistance, such as heating coils, this is effectively flow control mode.
